Macpup 511
how to desktops and bindings
Tonight's How to is for desktops and bindings....
Open the settings panel and go to screens. Virtual desktops controlls both the number and arrangement of your desktops. Under advanced settings ou also have control over how the desktop switch and how that change looks.
In the settings panel under input you have control over different kinds of bindings.You can set key and mouse bindings as well as edge bindings.By default macpup has the edge bindings turned off cause they are usually set to change desktops and the change usually happens when you don't expect it to like hanging a window off the edge of the screen.

I just tried to do a full install on 1st partition using the frugal install of macpup that is on the 2nd partition but it failed. The universal installer only created 2 files lib and another one (sorry I deleted them already) Puppy 5.1.1 did the install correctly(from a frugal on 2nd). Wonder why???? I formatted and tried several times with same results. I made a backup of the boot folder,that is why I am able to post this using my macpup frugal install.

Loving the Macpup 511 experience so far. The only problems I encountered were:
1. Places module not working
2. Enlightenment Segv'd Fault error when I activated the composite module then set the "Style" of any shelf into "Invisible". Tried this on my other PC on LiveCd mode, same thing happened. No big deal really.
Otherwise, it's rock solid and easy to fall in love with. Lol.

How to extra desktop modlues
How to extra desktop modules. These are the most useless and most fun extra modules. They are also my favorites !!!! Menu-settings-modules under the appearance section you will find composite DONT LOAD THIS. But you will also find Flame,rain.snow & penguins . To turn them on just load the module. To turn them off just unload the module.
To configure them open the settings panel and look at the bottom under the look tab.

Hi
Bye
I'm keeping the original proportions of the puppy logo. It's just the way it is. Anyway it's just an idea I'm developing. Maybe I'll try it with human eyes to see how it looks.Dude ,That's a big eye.
I'm glad you like it. I usually make wallpapers for the distros or desktop systems I use. It's my way of payback.This is really good txemijendrix !!!!

Today a few words about "everything"..... To open "everything" it's menu-run everything. To configure "everything" open the settings panel and go to the extensions tab.You can also configure the components of "everything" here.Most of the actions are double click.
After opening "everything" type ? and you get some instructions for using "everything"
If you just type a few letters of an apps name you can launch that app by double clicking on the apps icon or on launch.
If you just type / "everything" turns into a file manager.
using ctrl left or right will let you move through the plugins. settings will give you all of the e17 settings.
Places is like a file manager .Home is the root folder and wallapapers is in /root/.e/e/backgrounds.
Here is all the plugins. The web plugins work best with firefox."everything" will call other browsers if you set it to but they wont load the page.
If you select applications in the plugins just type a letter and it will list all the apps that start with that letter.You can launch them from here.
This is just an intro to all the stuff "everything can do.

I have installed the red themes, but when I scroll down the list they are is some text where there is normally a small picture/icon showing the wallpaper used in the theme (by default) there is a blank space, so I click it anyway & clicked apply - nothing changed.
They looked great in sneekylinux's video but do not work for me.

What was the name of the theme?
Make sure you only use themes that are in the MP511-themes.pet. If the .pet doesn't start with MP511 you cant run the theme without running edje_convert on it first and parts of it will be messed up like the setting panel.If it's an old theme like night-bling or grunge it will crash this build of e.
Sneeky has not done a video for the MP511 themes yet.

The name of the pet file was/is Red-themes.pet, the theme just changed to black text, grey boxes, white backgrounds but the desktop wallpaper stayed the same.runtt21 wrote:What was the name of the theme?

Maybe you should create a folder just for 511 themes & other files, encase somebody else has the same problem in the future (I am not trying to be rude) but there will probably the same problem with the new (testing only at the moment) 520.
