Thanks for the .pet PuppyLuvr! I can't wait to give this a trial run in one of my newer Puppy installs here! Woohoo!! And icons in the menus sounds interesting to say the least!
Thanks again for your contributions - and to Magerlab for having brought this to everyone's attention as well. Way to go Magerlab!
Myself, I've always loved using the simplicity of either LX or FBpanel & Openbox - or for that real minimalistic feel - just the plain Openbox session itself due to it being so low and non-demanding upon my computers resources. That's when Puppy TRULY flies like a nuclear-powered rocket!

I use openbox as mmy main window manager since i found it some 4 years ago i think.. jwm and icewm are also good but openbox is more stable and serves wery well:)
as fo icons in menu - i haven't tried this yet. It's supposed to add a path to icon to each menu entry manually, so some script is needed to add all icons

The .pet posted here will need the patch to build a menu using fixmenus and obconf. I will see if I can find them on my cluttered har drive
Meantime, if anybody wants to try Openbox/Fbpanel in Slacko, there is a pre-configured build available from the package manager, which patches menu building etc and includes obconf.

OK, here is the patch for fixmenus. Just install and run fixmenus in terminal to build an Openbox menu. No icons though, sorry
Obconf is proving more tricky due to missing libs.... on it.

I downloaded pemasu's openbox pet which has obconf included and
installed that.Then I compiled and installed the openbox-3.5.0.tar.gz
It's working fine in wary 52190.

Dave.. did you get the openbox menu icons going? Or is that the fbpanel menu in your screeny?

No, the menu in the pic is MyGtkmenu. Openbox needs to be compiled with Imlib2, see here http://en.ogmaciel.com/icons-on-menus-for-openbox/ which this is not, so the tag does not work.01micko wrote:Dave.. did you get the openbox menu icons going? Or is the the fbpanel menu?

Ah, ok. Well compiling with imlib2 would definitely suit using tint2 as the panel. Interesting...DaveS wrote:No, the menu in the pic is MyGtkmenu.

Anyways.. is there any pressing need to update? I'm not including tint2 in Slacko (though it is in the salix or slacky repo)

Not sure.. dragging windows around, 3.5 seems to update the display seamlessly, whereas in previous versions I was poor BUT running around 5 deg hotter.01micko wrote:

It's working well in slacko, tint2 is there but hiding.
