And a screenshot of this after refreshing pwidgets is attached.

Look there. Might help.

Also, from your screenshot the background is not refreshing. Don't scale your background, resize it in mtpaint then use it. Icewm is not Pwidget friendly without some persistence.

Version 0.4 is uploaded
See main post and Read the notes

The work of the new slideshow widget is based on 01micko's code, and the Pmusic widget is based on wow's code

Thank you guys!!!!!!!

Hi Sigmund I found a freeware weather font
http://www.fontspace.com/gemfonts/whethers
Just that it might have to have a bit of tweaking to match the font same naming as the other non-freeware font that you recommended at the start of the thread.
I also had an Idea for a widget that could probably be easily made up, What I thinking is a background changer widget, you click a left arrow and it goes backwards and click a right arrow and it scrolls forward, using your local backgrounds image folders. I haven't looked at the code, but what I figured that could work is have 2 scripts, one called forward and one called backward and each time they are activated it moves to the next or previous image.Then all you have to do is have pwidgets call one script or the other.

<-- Backgrounds >>

or an image
Just an idea, I really like Pwidgets, its a great application.

Evil20071 In the script, as 01Micko has seen, the line: must be: Calendar
I've created a new script (with bugs, as the weather one ) for the Calendar:

@zigbert:
Teacher, I haven't tried the new pwidgets with slideshow yet, but there is something I wanted to suggest if you're using the same script of xlideshow which always execute scale2pics first to make the scaled images. This is correct for a new set up and when you put new pictures, if not, then it should straight execute the slideshow. There should be an option, for it will make the start up a little bit longer. Thanks

Pwidgets 4... loving it!
One issue. Say you install a pet or something while running the slideshow and you need to restart X to use the pet installation, the slideshow must be stopped before X is restarted, otherwise the X server crashes. There is probably no fix for this but maybe a `stopwidgets'function could be added?

Mick

Oh, one more thing, where is that doggone font?

tried the pet, it is very good, but again I am pointing out 2 things:

1. Slideshow always generate scaled2pics everytime you start up, it should be an option, only if you're putting in new images or having new installation
2. For Icewm users, please add winoption:
#xli picture viewer
WM_CLASS=xli
WM_NAME=xli
xli.layer: Desktop
xli.allWorkspaces: 1
xli.dBorder: 0
xli.dTitleBar: 0
xli.ignoreTaskBar: 1
xli.dMaximize: 0
xli.dMinimize: 0
xli.dRollup: 0
xli.dResize: 0
xli.dClose: 0


if not, you'll get everything such as title in title bar, borders,etc just as a regular window

Thanks

1.Good idea, will save some time loading.
2. I will mention it to ttuuxxx who is building some icewm packages for puppy420.

Hello,
Is there a way to specify which window Pwidgets writes to???
In E-16 it puts widgets on various desktops, not together!!
I want it to write to the root window only...

I have updated the winoptions file for the default icewm installation in Puppy 4.2, so when/if users add the xlideshow.pet their icewm will behave properly. Thanks for the tip.

Q: Why doesn't Conky work with Gnome/KDE/nautilus/enlightenment/<insert any other WM/DE/application that draws to the root window here>

A: Please see "Conky won't stop flickering"

Q: Conky won't stop flickering

A: Conky is designed to draw to the root desktop window. However, there are several other applications which like drawing to the root desktop window. Because of this, Conky has two options available to get around this problem:

*

You can try enabling double-buffer. Conky's double-buffer option uses the X double-buffer extension to provide a flicker-free Conky. This can be done by running Conky with the '-b' parameter, or adding this to your conkyrc:

double_buffer yes

*

Conky can run in windowed mode, meaning that instead of drawing the the root window it draws to it's own window. You can move this window around and resize it by right-clicking or left-clicking on the window while holding down the Alt key. This can be accomplished by running Conky with the '-o' parameter, or by adding the following to your conkyrc:

own_window yes

So I guess maybe you should use:

own_window no

in all of the config files in /root/.pwidgets/config/ ? Never use enlightenment though, just trying to help

The weather font is not complete. Today it's snowing outside my window, - and there is no snow-icon.

My dream is that we could make ONE font, containing all dingbats we wanted. If anyone looking for a project, give me a hint ...

01micko
Sorry, I didn't mean to include the 'Pet' widget. The dogone font is alone over 100kb, and that doesn't fit Pwidgets.

You're right about the scaling function. it shouldn't be called everytime fixwidgets is running. I just did it the easy way. I'll look at it.

sintot
A wonderful calender. And a very good example of extended use of conky. Let's see what we can do about it.

Well... I feel stupid for not seeing that one myself... Thanks. Also, it does, but pwidgets is just slow picking up the background. It doesn't bother me any. I was actually going to set it to keep the black background permanently. It makes it easier for my eyes.

found this:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37381

looks like the base script of the current pwidgets weather?

I think there was a snow font included, But the naming convention doesn't match with none freeware font, so we would have to rename the fonts, and if you compare them and see any missing, I'm sure I could make some or somebody else.
ttuuxxx

Yes, Trio, it is the base for the text part of the weather widget.

No prob Sintot,

I just thought I should mention it to the forum

as the widgets keep building up, i made one pwidget item which consist of cpu-ram monitor in bars. it will give more space for pwidgets user to show more widgets on the list. Anyhow for you experienced users, this is just a child's drawing, but for new users, just copy the lines below and save it in the /root/.pwidgets/configs/ , you'll get a new widget instantly on the list when you start pwidgets control panel from the desktop start menu. and you can get so much more by making conky config files like this by yourself, please look up on the net....

#this is a Pwidgets config file
#the actual building of the graphics is defined in bottom of this file, - after 'TEXT'.

ttuuxxx

Having lost my clock skins I looked for the updated link with the correct permissions, this seems to have been edited out.

Can someone repost the clock skin correct link.

Thanks.
