Felt like putting back pwidgets on my desktop again and immidietly had to make a new clockskin Laughing

Another try of mine to make a darkish clock, plus I attach .xcf file, consider it a "source" Smile

you can easily make your own clockskin if you have any GIMP knowledge by tweaking colors/ modifying layers etc... Just change mode to rgb first. I did a quick green variant instead grayscale one, here are the skins:

Looking for the "Greyscale" theme for pwidgets that I believe debuted in Deep Thought. Anyone know where I can get it?

Thanks in advance!

If you have Pwidgets installed, and the Puppyname looks lame, here is something I did after checking /tmp/xerrs.log.

Open /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/scripts.
Copy "Puppylinux" to "PuppyName".

I did this in lucid 520 and instead of it showing "520" when I would select the Puppylinux widget, it now shows "Lucid Puppy 5.2.0".
So evidently the Pwidgets script is looking for "PuppyName" and that file does not exist.
By doing the fix I suggested, it now finds the script it is looking for and all works.

If this has been brought up before, I apologize for the interruption.

Well, I answered my own question, and just created a couple of theme files that are close to the original greyscale theme. Just copy to text, and save in a folder with the filename "main" in usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/themes/yournameoftheme. I just call these Greyscale, and Grey 2 respectively.
