Dropping in quickly.
Still limited Internet access.

Yes, 'jpup' is confusing.

I'll get the puppy-5 repo setup for alpha7, and we'll get ttuuxxes packages up there. I'll have high speed internet in a couple of days, will get onto that. Alpha7 should be out in a couple of days too!

Hi Barry I took series 4 petget manager and then transformed it for woof, probably just about the same thing you did But I installed tabs, reused some of the system icons, and added dependency rechecking. removed the extra code.
It should fit nicely with the small screen laptops like eeepc, I think it looks great
This package only contains the dotpup scrip and thats it, no .desktop or other files.
hope you like it

updated the update:) I moved the package installer to the first tab so that when you open it, you wont have to click a tab to download software.
Also did some minor text alignments.

Have you installed Fullerscreen from the menu option?

download and click on the enclosed file
install to /usr/local
click on start.sh to run Fullerscreen
f11 to run Fullercreen as a presentation
first page explains use of Fullerscreen


to create this presentation I made a copy of the Fullerscreen directory in the same location, calling it fs2 and hacked the html file and changed graphics using composer in Seamonkey

@@@ Updated at the bottom of the page Rox 2.9 package @@@

Hi Guys, after more than a week working on this, I'm finally finished of the ROX 2.8 latest package plus many extras, Hope you like it

Included in the package
-I recompiled my latest blinky with gnome image that I updated the screen colours with.
-Rox 2.8 plus I compressed the mimes with gimp, made links, made some new icons, like sfs, etc, made some from scratch. They are mostly gnome, cc, tango images that I put on a sheet of white paper, so they are pretty custom.
-I added the full mimes in root also, because I added one and wanted to get this right out of the box, hence the file size.
-I added a 'woof' wallpaper I quickly made on Gimp (not my best work, but I'm trying to stay off of Photoshop CS4
-I added the Icon theme I put together for Dpup

Now the fun part Tricky Install Notes
follow these steps and you'll be fine
-open /usr/local/apps and leave the window open
now open a new window to
/root/.icons (hidden folder, click the "eye")
now open another window where you Rox2.8-Theme-Mime-i486-uj.pet is located

Now you have 3 windows open
delete the following and don't close the windows until we are finished.
DELETE
--> /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer
-->/root/.icons/JQ8flat
and now finally click on the Rox2.8-Theme-Mime-i486-uj.pet and install it.

Next, after its installed
-In a open window click "Options--->Types--->and now it should say Themes--->icon themes, pull down the tab and make sure its on "ROX" and click ok

-Next Click Menu/Desktop/Desktop "icon sector" and select "GBPup"
-next Click Menu/Desktop/Desktop "wallpaper setter" and select default1 and set it.

Now your done, Enjoy


Ps if this goes in the repo, please make a Install Rox2.8-Theme-Mime-i486-uj-INSTALL.txt note with the above directions so users won't have issues, better yet make it default in woof

Actually if you compare the JQ8flat icons+mimes icons to the new icons+mimes icons theme I made up its actually 12kb smaller, hows that
below is the results when I put the both themes in 2 folders. Plus the new theme has 5 extra mimes over the flat one.

ttuuxxx, ROX Filer 2.9 is released!

http://roscidus.com/desktop/node

You should compile that one

[ttuuxxx]

[ttuuxxx]

That was easy due to the layout I have with this package, Updated to 2.9 same as above just updated version, please test.
Should be good from what I've seen

I read on Barry's blog that he had issues with MP the little editor, So I compiled the latest version 2 ways and made 1 pet out of including NLS, DOC's etc as full as I could make it. lol
So if you had issues with mp install this version and you'll have the curses and GTK-GUI version, which I like over the Curses version.
to get the GUI on the curses version use "CTRL+A"

Here's the other version he wanted, Its the full Curses version.

added the gtk version of this one and if you wanted the actual icon here it is, I compressed with Gimp, its 1/2 the size of the 16x16 default in puppy and its 32x32 lol

Any results/views from the ROX 2.8 or ROX 2.9 packlages? It was my first time tackling the mighty ROX. also is any of the mp packages faulty, These packages might go to the repro so they need testing, I can't be everywhere, lol ,
tuuxxx yells' "ummmmm Ecomoney where are you???" well he did say he'll be the chief tester, lol, anything goes wrong, as Dr.Phil says, "when you point a finger at someone, you have 3 of them point back at yourself. lol" Man I hate it when my wife puts Dr. Phil on, I always have to hear about it after.

Hi guys well I came across this Frontend for mplayer, so I compiled the latest svn of mplayer with internal ffmpeg and well it ran great, but had a documented warning, which shouldn't be there, so I looked around for a new frontend and came across this one, I compiled it and well its great
Fullscreen on JWM and its a full fullscreen, taskbar gone etc.
you can drag mp3's,divx,avi, real media to the main interface and it plays, or open the menu and click dvd,cd,file etc and it plays, its also has a playlist editor and reads/makes m3u play list:)
I've played dvd's,xvid,avi,divx,cd music, and real media video real nice and smooth. So far I haven't any complaints about the playback features, please test this package.

@I really like the upgraded Rox, the new icons and background. Great work!

Just tried it on the latest uPup built on Woof Alpha 7. The install instructions are slightly different. In options ->type->theme you should pick hicolor instead of Rox - otherwise Rox still uses the flat icon set. Also I couldn't find where the flat icons live so I didn't bother to delete them. Still works OK though.

I like this blue desktop look - would make a fine basis for say a netbook version of dPup. I wonder also how feasible it would be to install the Ubuntu Remix netbook-launcher desktop into uPup or Dpup. I find that it is not all that stable in Ubuntu though.

Ttuxxx, if you get a minute, could you have a look at this and see if you think you could build a nice small Puppy look-alike of this idea? I reckon you would make a better job of it than Ubuntu Remix did.

Blof - tried a build of dPup today and got stopped by a showstopper bug while trying to save a pup_save file but - dPup still looks fast compared to the other Woof distro types. Here's hoping the beta version of Woof will have this fixed.
