I particularly like disciple's ideas #1 and #2

PS... Pmusic-6.5 runs sweetly with progress bar, while running MU's Puppy Browser browsing the web in the Dino

________________ Howto make your own window preset ________________

This info is partly outdated



Pmusic 0.7.0 introduce window presets. Pmusic can be set up more individual.
Default, Pmusic is loaded with the Default graphical theme and the Default Window preset. Pmusic shows like this only a small part of the available modules.

Let's say we wish to extend the main window with the toolbar module and the mixer module. In /usr/local/pmusic/presets/ you'll find the 'Default' file. This contains all information to build Pmusics default gui. Lets add toolbar ($GUI_TOOLBAR) and mixer ($GUI_MIXER) and save it under a new name. All new preset files in /usr/local/pmusic/presets/ will be added to the window menu and in the preferences.

Wow!

Looks nice! Someone's been a busy puppy!

In the mixer I can't seem to get bass/treble to work (on fast box ) Is there any trick to it? Buttons seem greyed out. A midrange option would actually make it an equaliser...

Thanks!

Hmm seem to be having browser issues.

Tried to download and got the 401 Not Authorised issue. No password box just a white page with text, any ideas.

Maybe my browser is corrupt as it will also not save my forum login password details ?

Hi Rob

I had that issue yesterday. Try going directly to puppylinux.asia, then find zigbert's directory in TPP.

Cheers

[tasmod]

Hmmm, It may be a problem there.

There isn't a pmusic 0.7.0 on that server, hence that's why the link crashes.

Mick
The treble/bass controller is only reachable if your soundcard supports it. This is NOT a software equalizer. You seems to be one of many unlucky guys who bought a too cheap soundcard. I have to admit that I would have been happy if my hardware supported tone control. That means; the treble/bass functions is totally untested. Let's hope one of those lucky bastards tells us how nice it is to tune the sound just the way they want it to be.


Where is your first window preset?

Rob
Hope you will share your theme with us. It looks VERY promising. You will maybe think that the buttons are too big for the 'Manager' window in Pmusic 0.7.0, but don't rush. Maybe they will look gorgeous in 0.7.1...........I'm thinkin'

Isn't life fun

OK downloaded the pet. Uninstalled 0.6.5 and then installed 0.7.0.

All OK then clicked on pmusic in menu. Splash screen opened OK and then a fleeting glimpse of a frame before 'nothing'. splash vanished and no sign of a program.

I seriously think something is wrong with my pupsave. I'm going to re-install again and report back.

I've added a pic of my desktop with the themes I've made, all on at once.

[tasmod]

Ooops, that was meant to be a testing icon. Sent original pic instead.

background is 'carbon fibre with authorised personnel only' but doesn't show up in pic.

[DaveS]

Oh Yes! THATS what i'm talkin about!



BTW.... on my laptop, plugging in headphones while Pmusic is playing mutes on-board speakers, as it should. Adjusting sound from tray icon is fine, but adjusting sound from within Pmusic GUI re-activates on-board speakers AND headphones. Unplugging headphones and then re-plugging them again mutes on-board speakers.

[DaveS]

I hate to ask for more, but could you put an 'exit' button on the GUI please.
