many thanks GuestToo for this wonderful pack, it's the best IceWm binary I ever seen

please, what were the plataform and configure options used in compilation ?

[GuestToo]

i compiled it using Vector Linux 4.3 (based on Slack)

i don't remember exactly what options i used, but i compiled support for just about everything, except xinerama

i also compiled a version with the standard lite options

it's not hard to make a package, it's harder to decide what to put in, and what to leave out, and what config options to choose

i can easily make an Unleashed package too

i don't know if the themes are ok ... i made a few themes because i didn't like the standard themes ... i included your 4colors themes because they might be good for a basic package (more stuff can be in extra packages)

GnuChess 5.07 - TEXT ONLY

[Mathiasdm]

Wooh! Go, GNUChess! That package is definitely going on my remastering (well, once it has a graphical interface, anyway).

Hi Guesttoo. Just gave icewm a try - looks good - thanks!
The look of Puppy is the one point I don't like that much (meaning the fvwm95 look). I do absolutely like the simplicity and the small and great crafted wizards and all else in Puppy!! I also did not like the unix style window manager used in damnsmalllinux... What I like is the window manager used in luit linux (XFCE4?) or sawfish... used in spblinux...

I like the modern looking style

So with such great dotpup packages, one can try different looks and feels within Puppy...

Does anybody know of a comparison of small window managers with hardcopies, so one can get a impression of their look..?

Mplayer 1.0pre6-3.3.1

edit: 24/08/2006 attachment deleted to save space

mplayer - keyboard controlled
gmplayer - mouse controlled gui

F key to play full screen

this puts an icon in my-roxapps
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut

right click the icon for help and other menu items
(set Rox Run Action for video files, Uninstall Mplayer)

you can drag video files to the Mplayer icon if you like
(mp3s will play too)

rotate the ring around the Play button with the mouse to adjust the volume

left-clicking the control panel will popup an Open Files window

this will download a package of precompiled binaries from DSLs Ibilio website ... about 3 megs

mplayer requires about 8 megs of space ... about 12 megs to install

this installs in my-applications ... nothing is installed in /usr

if you run mplayer or gmplayer from the command line, there will be no messages ... to see messages, use mplayer2 or gmplayer2 instead ... for example, mplayer2 --help

tested in Puppy 1.0.1 and 1.0.2rc1

[GuestToo]

Blue skin for Mplayer

this is the standard skin for Mplayer, i think
it's about 10 times bigger than the disappearer skin

[GuestToo]

Icewm Menu for Puppy 1.0.2 rc1

old menu is backed up to /root/.icewm/menu-102.BAK

[GuestToo]

Xmms 1.2.9

puts an icon in my-roxapps

drag icon to desktop ... drag mp3s to icon ... right click icon for help, info, uninstall

requires about 1.5 megs

installs in my-applications

Note: To automatically have an Icewm systray icon when Xmms runs, add this line to /root/.icewm/winoptions:

xmms.tray: 1

or, this will make Xmms show only as a systray icon, and not at all in the task bar

xmms.tray: Exclusive

(edit: ver 0.0.2 - fixed no-/opt-bug, added missing wmxmms.xpm)

[Alienx]

I think something is not working well with xmms

ln: /opt/xmms: No such file or directory
/root/my-applications/xmms/bin/xmms: error while loading shared libraries: libxmms.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
