OK , I have some extra themes for everyone. They are in two .pets . The first is the Fox3extra.pet it has the two themes that I was going to put in Fox 3 but left out to keep the .iso size down around that of opera061's . The themes are A-wood-macpup2.edj and Macpup-WB.edj
The second is Next-1.pet It has the A-SBlack-Esp1Macpup.edj and the updated version of that theme Luxblue-macpup.edj It also has two backgrounds, stars.edj is a standalone version of the background from A-SBlack-Esp1Macpup complete with animated stars. And stars2.edj that is a animated version of the background from the Luxblue theme that has stars cause the theme background dosen't.
All of these themes are by Verdegal37 and I modified them for Macpup.Just install the .pets and select the new themes......

Just downloaded it now, and made a (frugal) install on the Community Centre computer.
It certainly looks good / impressive, but I don't know how people will take to virtual desktops Enlightenment uses - move the mouse too far one way or another (left or right) over the edge of the application window and you're looking at a blank screen instead of Firefox etc.
This might be too much for some of the centre's users, who vary in condiidence and knowledge where computers are concerned.
Can you turn off virtual desktops in Enlightenment?
BTW, I was very impressed by the automatic configuration mode in CUPS; it not only detected the two networked printers we've got here, but identified them and set them up without my having to do anything.
CUPS has come on a long way since Eric Raymond famously failed to set up a networked printer using it (as well as Puppy's implementation of it being accurate and comprehensive).

Alot of times when you dont want it to. To fix this go to menu-settings-settings panel. In the app that opens on the top go to input then select edge bindings. In the next window select delete all then apply and close. You can also change the binding to do other stuff....
Thanks, I'll give this a try soon.

If you want to have icons all over the top of your desktop be my guest. Everything anyone needs to run a Macpup is on the ibar. It doesn't need anything else.

I'm having a problem booting this with my usual frugal setup. My Dell Latitude C400 doesn't have a CD drive and can't boot to USB, so I put the frugal files for Puppy installs in the root of my only partition (ntfs for running Windows XP). Grub4DOS lets me set up my grub menu in windows, and this method works fine for Puppy 4.21, Puppy 4.3, and Macpup Opera 061. Not so for Macpup Foxy 3.0 though. Here's my Grub menu.lst and the resulting error:
menu.lst entry
Code: Select all
title Macpup Foxy 3 frugal
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.gz
Grub error
Code: Select all
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
I found this description of the error:
This error is returned if the kernel image being loaded is not recognized as Multiboot or one of the supported native formats (Linux zImage or bzImage, FreeBSD, or NetBSD).
Anybody have any idea what's up with that?

How about using the module called "Places" for this. It's even better than the one you posted.

places? sure! why not (i have hear it now) if its was better why not ( we on this forum make puppy beter, right?).
from begining i was ask what was hapend when i instaled xfce on macpup, so i am asked, how if on desktop there are a partition or flashdisk icon, so user willbe helpful by that (i am as user)
so how to use this places thing ?

I'm not so sure how to install the places modules (or any module) on e17. The places module came preloaded on the MoonOS I'm using. Maybe runtt can help us install this useful e17 module?
I tried copying the places modules from usr/lib/enlightenment/modules of MoonOS. The places showed up at the module loader but coughed up an error (missing file) when I loaded it.
Here's a screenshot of the places module.
