What adjustment should be made so that I get a "normal" display of an account in Rox?

I want entries to be regular length. The default setting is limiting entries to 7 characters long. I want to get rid of those #@$%^ red lines! (See attachments)

That's only if you're in details view, Ttuuxxx.

ok well check your /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Options <-- hidden folder for a number 7 or something and see if that helps, that a config file for rox, maybe back it up first Smile

There is apparently a bug in Rox in 214X to get the strange red line display. The red line comes from merely switching to Small Icons in the Rox>Options>Display menu. To figure this out I reloaded puppy 214X and I am starting over.

In my previous installation I was using JWM, but in the new installation I can't find where to enable JWM. How do I make the switch to JWM? I, especially miss right clicking the Desktop and getting the menu.

Edit: Found the switch in the Shutdown menu. Now have JWM back and the feel of the program much better for me.

hi done why not just use large icons? I've never used the small icons rox switch. I like the larger ones the best, but I guess to each their own, glad you worked it out.

Hi Guys, Man that gets me, I've been working on a new release all weekend, It was going great, I was at the point where I was building the new pup_214X.sfs meaning I was finished, I only had to build the iso after that and upload it. It contained a highly configured firefox that took hours to configure (you'll find out why next week Smile

), a newer ffmpeg, xine-lib, libfaad basically it played mp4 out of the box with gxine, plus I reverted back to to the earlier networking that you had to manually configure but the wireless worked, pre Top-6 version.
So while the sfs was building I went to bar ridge in the garage and grabbed a brewskie and touched the back of the fridge, for some reason it tripped the circuit breaker and well I lost everything. What a shame it would of been a nice update, anyways next weekend I'll do it again and this time no bar fridge, lol
gggrrrrrrrrrrrr

ttuuxxx: I have edited my previous post and revised the /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Options file that I included in it.

I don't know enough about that file to know if the Rox selection in
Option>Display>Icon View would make a difference in the Options file. In the Edit (above) I have included the the Option file with small icons selected and displaying the red-line bug.

PS: Why are you working without a UPS? I have lost a hard drive and then a computer before I got a cheap UPS. I live in a rural village and line surges, blackouts, and lightning strikes are a regular occurrence.
