How about doing some program redesigning Peppyy?

Opening the welcome file as text
you see this near the top


Code:
# Lobster August 2005 Puppy Welcome version 0.0.8
# License Public Domain
 
export WelcomePuppy="

<vbox>


. . . and this near the bottom

Code:
</vbox>

"
gtkdialog --program WelcomePuppy

unset WelcomePuppy


Change the two instances of </vbox> to </hbox>
Save and run and now the program is a long horizontal selector

I saw that in the screenshot, nice touch. Well it did catch my eye. No, I am afraid that changing colors in torsmo was enough of a challange for me. I played with gkrelem for almost a whole day on my big box . Got it looking really nice, and then I found out i could skin it. Kind of like the custom skin I made for xmms, another long story Laughing

Embarassed Well the welcome Pup seems to have been gobbled (if you will pardon the expression). So have enclosed it again.

It has taken me nearly 6 months to get Torsmo working (people are still laughing at my stupidity) All I needed to do was turn up the contrast on my monitor - the shame of it Embarassed

Oh well!
I think I will download the welcome.pup and click on help and go through the help files, then the forum, then see if anyone is on the chat forum - maybe check out the news - hey what is going on with Krazy Puppy?

I think there might be a slight problem with a few of the actions. When I click on Mount it brings up Puppy XUL alpha 0.0.3 too.

Very nice tho. How would I change the default applications like launching mplayer instead of gxine?... Wait! It is in the readme. It is the make a wish thing. I suppose I should setup all the defaults before I hand this over to my client.

Have to read my choices list again now that I think I am through installing.

Ahhhhhhhhh, I am weally giong to miss this little pup.

The double opening is to demonstrate what I am attempting with XUL
- the "progs" icon also brings up pupgets and dotpups (two programs) if this is confusing then I can restrict it to one . . .

I am now working on a right click option which would save desktop space . .

The readme should tell you how to "hack" the script - it is as easy as I could make it. It was designed by an idiot for idiots (that does not make it idiot proof)

Smile

Anyways it is a work in progress - hope some are finding it useful . . .

Very Happy

Further to the Foundation meeting
this program has been updated

See first posting in this thread for latest downloadable .pup

The important update is the Links button
which now brings up an HTML file of most useful web pages

the bookmarks.html that comes with the program can also be imported into mozilla browser
and found at:
Code:
/usr/local/welcome/

I am no expert . . .
so I would keep this as a seperate file (which I have called "howto")
I then changed its permissions from rox

Code:
#!/bin/sh

FILE=`Xdialog --title "Please choose a file" --fselect /usr/share/doc/ 28 58 2>&1`

case $? in
   0)
      dillo "$FILE" ;;
   1)
      echo "Cancel pressed.";;
   255)
      echo "Box closed.";;
esac


Then I modified the existing welcome file like so

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Lobster Jul 2006 Puppy Welcome version 1.3
# License GPL
 
export WelcomePuppy="

<vbox>
   <vbox><pixmap><input file>/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-dog.xpm</input></pixmap></vbox>

gtkdialog --program WelcomePuppy

unset WelcomePuppy



this is the line that calls the howto file with your code

Code:
     <action>/usr/local/welcome/howto &</action>


you will notice that it calls the howto file (your code) from a specific location
so make sure the files are there

If you play about with the code or it suits you
make it into a dot pup
and call it welcome 1.4

Code:

# Will Hunt Jul 2006 Puppy Welcome version 1.4
# License GPL


Smile

one other thing I changed this from "mozilla" to "defaultbrowser" (that was my error) - so now should work with any browser BUT it requires one to be online . . .
Code:
  <action>defaultbrowser http://rhinoweb.us/ &</action>


Hope that is of some use - and here is a console command
"pwd"
just put that in - not password - it means present working directory
Smile

Lobster, do you think the Welcome .pup would be the place to put G2's explanation of the Linux way to copy and paste? It needs to be somewhere that beginners will see.

GuestToo urged me to get a 3 button mouse (a wheel mouse will do too) and the third mouse button can also be emulated - you can set this up in Puppy some how - anyone remember?

Maybe it should be in there - maybe Will will work it out . . .

Only the Linux Jedi know the force of the "third button"

"May the button be with you"

in any case, there could be text displayed at the top of rxvt windows when they are opened

here's a little demo, with an ascii art banner ... i think MTpaint can export pictures as ascii art

install the dotpup, then open an rxvt console window to see the banner
