@Geoffrey and pemasu You were both right about adjusting fonts in Qt apps. Thanks guys. On my netbook, Clementine, UMPlayer and Photo are now in line with the overall Carolina look, after the font adjustments. However, a few minor issues surfaced: 1 - In Clementine, the tiny fonts were retained for the sidebar. Can those be changed as well? (1st screenshot from bottom) 2 - For UMPlayer, the top menu follow the font size set in the config file so long as no skin is selected. On applying any of the skins (all are cool, i think), the top menu font size turn tiny. I used pfind to search for individual skin files (thought they might also have an entry i could edit to control the menu font size) but none found. Now i'm greedy coz I want both the skin and the bigger menu font  . Any idea how? (2nd, 3rd screenshots)
3 - Qt Configuration appears to have a fixed window size that's too big for my netbook screen. Is it possible to allow for a scroll bar? (screenshot4) @elroy I confirm that Trash panel applet is now working well for me. Carolina is getting better and better. And at a speed I'm very happy with.... Thanks for all your hard work!

I think I may have found part of the problem, my save file is 620,072KB and the memory stick is 981MB! Formatted to FAT. I did not notice how large the file had become adding extra software. Here is the full screen view of the boot problem on my USB stick with the read only button on. Thanks again for your help

If you would be so kind to test this out and let me know if it works for you, I'd appreciate it - mumble-1.2.4.pet |

Clementine has no theme changer, maybe the next stable release will have this feature. UMPlayer, I have found a way to increase the font size in the top panel, I tried all combinations of settings and settled on these. If the font is larger than 11pt no font will show, I think it looks ok at this comparing the images below. For example in /usr/share/umplayer/themes/Mac/ edit the main.css file adding this code
Do the same to the other themes main.css files If this works out ok from testing, we could add this change to the package, let us know how it works and if any problems arise.

A new version of the carolina-updater-1.1.pet is now available. Thanks to marvs suggestion, it now check to make sure you have a connection, the server isn't down, and that the patch file exists before attempting to download and install a patch. If you install this pet and have the earlier version installed, please uninstall the earlier version first. |

Hope I am not coming through as too lazy. I should restart and boot up Carolina but just now I am in Lupu528-005 and I have Grandr installed and that allow me to set one screen to 1024x600 and the external to 1024 x 768 while Carolina as it is can only set both to 1024x600 Is grandr included in menu or do I have to find if in PPM or on your server? Something about single click and double click annoyed me too? Not sure. _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

Hi nooby. Grandr is located in the Control Panel, in the Hardware category. You can drag it from there to either the desktop or the task bar to create a shortcut by holding down the left click mouse button. |

Booted up Carolina on my brothers old Macbook Pro today. He was most impressed. The on board wireless worked straight away. We did have a problem with the touch-pad playing around I assume it needs a specific driver. He also has a new Realtek rtl8187 N USB adapter, which was recognised but not working, it has Linux drivers supplied but I am not sure how to add these to Carolina.If anyone can advise me an easy way to do this I would be most grateful. Once again thanks to everyone for the great work that is being put into this project |

Every time I try to install my nvidia driver, I use the xorgwiard to choose the nvidia driver. But after choosing, It can't seem to boot to xfce. Do I have to remove nouveau like in Saluki before choosing the nvidia driver? |

I think you meant the menu does not show where it's usually located. On my netbook, the menu is not visible where it was, but at the right side of that same space there's a double- headed arrow that i can click to bring up the menu.
There's no difference on my netbook when font size is set at 11 and when that change is not applied. So atm, i will either go without applying a skin (if i want the menu fonts to be the same size as in other apps) or live with the tiny menu fonts (if i want the cool skinned look). What i found interesting was that changing
to
allows setting a bigger font size without resulting in a 'hidden' menu, but the bigger font size does not actually make the menu fonts bigger. Note that bg-mediabar.png is taller than bg-menu.png which is why i decided to experiment with that change. I think the takeaway here is that there may be other factors that affect the menu font size. Thanks for Carolina. Looking forward to the next release update. |

If that was the way you did it in Saluki to get it working, then it would be the same for Carolina. There is a nvidia-glx-304.51-k3.2.13-ski.pet or nvidia-glx-304.51-k3.2.13-ski.sfs in the repo that I made using shinobar's getnvidia-0.7.pet http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=649602#649602 I have a GeForce 8600 GT card, this card runs with that driver, though it won't run the game Legends, as it don't appear to like GLX. For my card I manually install an older driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10, this is the only one that I found to be stable with the GeForce 8600 GT, the Legends game runs fine with it, all the newer drivers I've tried produced lockups. If you would like to try the older driver, get it here http://smokey01.com/carolina/Extras/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run To install this driver you will need both the devx_lina_001.sfs and kernel_sources-3.2.13-ski.sfs loaded. The easiest way I found was to copy the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run to /root and rename it to something shorter, I use nv, then exit to a prompt and type
scroll down and select nvidia Nvidia then from the list select your monitors resolution and the test button, a window should appears with the card information, press enter select finished, at the prompt type xwin, if all went well you should be at the Desktop, that's it, your can test the drivers frame rate by typing glxgears in the terminal. If you have never installed a driver this way before, it may be better to try it with a new save file first, to be sure it works for you. _________________ Carolina: Recent Repository Additions Create strikethrough text HERE |

The new Carolina updater and a new install solved my network problems. Just wondering. I don't see those nifty Xfce tweaks that we got as a pet in saluki a short time ago. Are they here some where? Or are they coming before the final release? Keep up the good work. Pete |
