hi Mick and all! Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything. I tried both the 32-bit an 64-bit versions. I have not done any rigorous testing but video and sound work out of the box, which is good, because older pups no longer do for me, ever since I purchased an Nvidia 750ti videocard. M...

Hi partsman, Sorry for the late reply. The options in the picture you posted only works with xfwm4 window manager. If you type restartwm xfwm4 in the terminal, you will find that it will work. To change the number of virtual desktops with " Joe's Window Manager", to need to edit a config f...

Hi Everyone, I have released version 3 of JX_Slacko. It includes bug fixes found in the previous releases (thanks testers), as well as some newly added features. Pprocess has been removed, in favour of LXTask. I have changed some of the restartwm "***" commands. You can find them at the bo...

Noticed that the jwm tray height is busted, i.e you can't make the taskbar thicker in height. Hi Smithy, I think perhaps you are confusing the Xfce4-panel and tray with the Jwm tray. For the next release, I will rename the option for "restartwm jwm" to "restartwm jx" to (hopeful...

Thank you Tman, that worked. :D If I turn off warbar it comes back on next reboot, and opposite to that, if I activate conky it doesn't survive reboot. (Not a big deal. Just saying.) Thanks again. Yes those are the default settings and they always reset when you restart. If you want to change them,...

Hello Tman, very nice puppy, only problem I have so far is I can't run Pmusic, in the console it says, missing gtkdialog r512. I can't find it in the PPM. Hi Tote, It appears there are 2 versions of gtkdialog installed.. I may have installed the older version when I was compiling apps for JXS. Your...

Hi John, Is there a link to this new pup, or has it not been created yet? I am thinking, the latter, but don't want to assume. Attached are 10 icewm themes, most of which, I have modified, using other themes as a base. Feel free to use any or all, if you like. I remember trying Legacy OS about 2-3 y...

xfce4 whiskermenu plugin Damn, that's what I wanted to do.. a Mint/xfce style menu :? Looks like you beat me to it. Actually I haven't even started, but it was on my mind ever since I saw the awesome xfce menu in Linux Mint. I have been quietly following this thread on and off, since it began. (too...

Your work and @PeeBee's work are excellent examples. Externally so close in concept, look, and feel. Are you sure you 2 aren't working together/collaborating? :) Great efforts! Thanks :D. No we do our pups individually, but I do check out other pups for inspiration. peebee's LXpup is indeed :cool: ...

Thanks @TMan. Corrected that post. No worries, your typo gave me the idea to test out compiz, so thanks! :idea: Looks and feels great ! Like I said before reminds me alot of solidpup ! :D :wink: Thank You !! Maybee add transparency to conky ? :D Glad you like it, partsman. You can make conky transp...

Nice! I will be testing this out very soon. Thanks, radky!


Would you be able to post a separate pet for just fbpanel? I want to try and combine it with other window managers..

Hello @TMan, really nice touch. Like the bar option to "compiz" my desktop. Running LiveDVD. Hi gcmartin, Did you mean the bar option to "conky" your desktop? :wink: But you gave me a good idea. (thanks!) I think I will try to out Peebee's "compiz by sfs" to see if it ...

Uhh.. I'm clueless as how to accomplish option a that at this moment :oops: but will try to look into it. Thanks for the advice. Openbox reads $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart and XFCE $HOME/.config/xfce4/xinitrc, usually. So you can add something similar to the jwmrc entry ie for i in $HOME/.config...

Uhh.. I'm clueless as how to accomplish option a that at this moment but will try to look into it. Thanks for the advice.

Hi mavrothal, that was one quick reply This is because autostarting apps have been moved to /root/.config/autostart. Ahh..so that is where they went to. I tried the symlink method and rebooted, but sadly, no tray icons did appear in Openbox and I did not get double icons in the JWM tray. Perhaps whe...

mavrothal, your pet fixed my problem with sfs manager, thank you. @01micko & all, Currently, I have found 2 issues with the new Slacko 5.7. (1) My wired internet connection was not autodetected upon first boot. I was easily able to configure it to get an internet connection, but noobs might have...

Hello all, I am currently uploading JX_Slacko 5.7 version 0.2 to Smokey01's server. I am about to head off to work in 20 minutes so I'll update the first post later tonight or sometime tommorrow. I've added Xfwm4, Tint2, Openbox, Wbar, Conky, Zsnes, along with quite a few hacks and tweaks to get the...

Thnaks for the pet, Marthovol
I am about to go to sleep right now, but will download and test it tommorrow.

Hi all,

I just tried to download the kernel sources 3.4.82 sfs using Sfs Manager and I got a "broken link" error. Has anyone else been able to download the kernel sources? Perhaps, from a different link?

I've been playing with Jwm + Tint2 combo and they are working nicely together.

I will use this combo for the next releasee and add xfce4panel to xfwm window manager.

Then perhaps Metacity with fbpanel. I want to reserve openbox for lxpanel for those who wish to add it.
