Where are the shared icons located?
If I understand you correctly your trying to find where this icon is located? It doesn't seem to exist (as a picture), at all! I have it there when I open ROX, but I've searched through every picture (it would have been quicker if I'd have cleared my browser's history, never mind) and it isn't there.
Its the same with some of the other icons there, the 'up' icon that's half shaded, can be found in blue, but not in green which is what it is in ROX. I'm not so sure about the help icon either, there are one's that are similar, but I don't think they're the same.
I don't really understand this, if they're not there, how does Puppy use them?
Edit: Wow, it usually tells me if someone's posted before I submit, not this time, two pages!

Well I managed to port puppy the 4.2 desktop+menu icon switcher to 2.14r, It took some code hacking, but it works perfect now, and its about 300 times quicker, lol I removed the popup dialog box, so once you click a theme, it automatically changes the theme and it does effect the background image or hot pup, I reused some of the code from the refresh menus thats built into 2.14r. So now I'm really happy The cool thing is that on the puppy package manager that I hacked and gave tabs and 48x48 icons, they change with the theme also now thats cool

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what happened there?
I downloaded that picture from the net, so I could upload it for clarity (and I couldn't find it in Puppy). I had it in my /root/ directory and since then I've rebooted and now it copies itself to /root/.thumbnails/normal/ upon boot up. I can tell because every time I boot up, the folder's text is in bold. like when you've just changed something about it, but its just got a load of numbers for the name, weird.
Would it be possible for Puppy to make those icons on the fly, somehow?

Although I have a problem when I maximize PetGet package manager, as you can see in the attached file, It shows nothing in the left side where it usually has the packages category (Desktop, System, Internet, etc).
I would like that colum for "Package", "description" and "dependecies" could be resized for easy search and read. Is that possible ttuuxxx?
Thank you ttuuxxx, for your efforts making these themes.

There is no need to max the size the of the package manager due to the fact that the 2 series never had that extra left column option, When I resued the series 4 package manager on the 2 series I first removed the extra left column because I was trying to make it as small as possible for small screen users like eeepc,acer one, and it didn't work anyways due to the layout of the system, I would of had to typed out hundreds of lines of code to update it.clarf wrote:I like new package manager looks and feel in 2.14r.ttuuxxx wrote:Here's what the package manager looks like with the 3 themes

So the way you have it is perfect for the 2 series, If i update 4/5 series it might be different.

Oh but if your talking about the description/dependencies on the right hand side scrolling, I'll look into that it should max and reduce the need to scroll.

Oakems, that's normal, if you had that icon on /root, rox showed it to you as a "preview", and when it does it, it always creates a thumbnail in /root/.thumbnails/normal/; this happens also when you're browsing a dir with pictures inside of it...That's why in rox's options you have that "purge thumbnails cache" button, in order to avoid to fill up that thumbnail dir too much..As opposite, obviously, if you don't delete those thumbnails, when you browse an image dir you had already browsed, image previews load a lot faster.and since then I've rebooted and now it copies itself to /root/.thumbnails/normal/ upon boot up
Back to rox's original "go-home" icon, the only explanation I give me is that it's inside rox's executable, since I can't find it anywhere...
It's a Gtkwidget used by ROX and hardcoded (I think). It is probably available inside the gtk library included with Puppy be default. It can be overridden by the gtkrc/iconrc call process though, or MU's gtkrc-mine version which is more universal in its effect.eden6000 wrote:Back to rox's original "go-home" icon, the only explanation I give me is that it's inside rox's executable, since I can't find it anywhere...

Yep, I think your right. I've searched through every .png, svg, gif and any other .extensions that mean its a picture and its not there.eden6000 wrote:the only explanation I give me is that it's inside rox's executable, since I can't find it anywhere...
So If its hard coded, does that mean it can exist in binary form, kind of? and made on the fly?

gtkrefresh for Xenial
The version of gtkrefresh that Mark provides a couple of pages back (here) still worked in Lucid-5287, but no longer works in more recent releases (such as Xenial). Hardly surprising really. It's getting pretty old now. I actually use this quite often to change the GTK Theme using a script. It's really handy.
Any chance of providing an up-to-date version?

@ TwoPuppies:-
Long time no see, mate. Glad you're still around....
I'm not at all sure which Puppy you're using now. Not still with Lucid, are you?
The reason I ask is because with any of the Puppies that use JWM (as you no doubt know, Lucid uses Openbox), radky's JWM DeskManager will perform a GTK theme change for you, along with a whole host of other WM-related functions. ....all wrapped-up in a very smart, modern-looking GUI.
If you're interested, you can find it here:-

Hope that perhaps helps.
Mike.

gtkrefresh for Xenial
Hi Mike. Thanks for the info. Yes, I did already know that. Back when I was using Lucid-5287 most of the time I created something very similar for my own use. It consisted of a collection of scripts, each of which would apply an entire co-ordinated Desktop theme at a single mouse click: background image, icons, themes for JWM, OpenBox, Pwidgets, GTK, ...the lot. All built into a nice GUI. Just click an image icon, and the entire Desktop Theme was applied automatically. I was really quite proud of it. But I guess I need to move with the times, so I'm using Xenial a lot more now. Just recently, I read a post of yours on another thread in which you made the comment the you have always customised the socks off all your puppies. I tend to do the same. Can't resist it. And I am pleased to discover that my Theme Scripts work almost perfectly in Xenial straight out of the box. One of the few things that does not work is that, while it automatically selects a GTK theme, it does not apply it. This requires the afore-mentioned gtkrefresh, which sadly seems to be too old to work in Xenial. Hence my inquiry here. I understand that with the JWM DeskManager I probably don't really need to get my own scripts working perfectly, but I'm really close, and having put a lot of work into them in the first place, it would be nice.Mike Walsh wrote:The reason I ask is because with any of the Puppies that use JWM (as you no doubt know, Lucid uses Openbox), radky's JWM DeskManager will perform a GTK theme change for you, along with a whole host of other WM-related functions. ....all wrapped-up in a very smart, modern-looking GUI.
I expect that creating an up-to-date version of gtkrefresh is probably straight forward enough, and I would be quite prepared to do it myself, but I just lack the necessary expertise.

Mm. O-kayyy.....
When you say 'a newer version of gtkrefresh', are you talking about a specific binary, or something similar? I see, looking in /bin, there are several 'gtk-something or other' binaries in there.....but not one specifically named 'gtkrefresh' (gtk-refresh?)
Or are we here talking about a specific script, perhaps? I confess, I'm not exactly certain what it is you're referring to...
