Service-Pack for 2.00 and 109CE
Posted: Tue 13 Jun 2006, 01:24
Some people reported, that the Backgroundsetter did not work correct with their graficscards.
I completely re-programmed the "internals" now. I hope, that fixes it, at least on my system it works more reliable.
Simply install the Dotpup for your system.
Puppy 109CE:
http://dotpups.de/puppy-releases/1.0.9- ... cepack.pup
Puppy 2.00:
http://dotpups.de/puppy-releases/2.00/s ... cepack.pup
-------------------------------------------------------------
note if you use Rox 2.4.1
This version is not in Puppy by default, so this is just of interest, if you installed it manually.
The Backgroundsetter just works with Rox 2.4.1, if you do 2 things (only once):
1.) rename the file
/usr/local/Puppybackground/resource/roxrestart.sh-deactivated
to
/usr/local/Puppybackground/resource/roxrestart.sh
2.) Set a new Background in the Backgroundsetter. Then Right-click an icon, choose "backdrop".
Now drag to the optionwindow
/root/Choices/ROX-background.png
It works a bit slower than before.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Information for programmers only:
Only one binary changed: /usr/local/bin/Puppybackgroundsetter.
The Sourcecode is in the Dotpup, that I updated, too:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=7283
I changed the files in /source (not in the subfolders).
It now uses gdk_pixbuf instead of imlib1.
For Rox 2.4.1, this is a bit slower, as the backdrop now is saved as .png (before .jpg), as I had problems with the jpeg-library.
