it's seems that cairo is not equal to wbar, isn't it?
can you tell us how to install that in puppy linux, please?

Thanks

Hi Recobayu

Cairo is available in the Saluki repository, so I got it via the Puppy package manager for that distro.

Try the package manager for your version of Puppy - it may already be available.

Alternatively, do a search on the forum for 'cairo'. Here's a link I found for a thread about cairo on Slacko:

Good luck!

Hi i`m relatively new to puppy but aquired an old low resource machine and needed something small to run on it, puppy fitted the bill perfectly and this is the finished desktop.

Strange. It doesn't look like a Puppy... It looks like a dozen other Linux distros available on DistroWatch. It lacks personality, if you ask me.

Sorry if I'm bursting any bubble.

Dunno, I thought the wallpaper kinda screamed "Puppy Linux"

That and I'd recognize freememapplet_tray anywhere. Isn't that unique to Puppy?

Well, if you remove or ignore the square "band-aid" with Puppy written on it, it can look like some version of imagineos or siduction, or whatever distro is currently based on xfce. Or any distro with a "wavey" backdrop, really.

Just my opinion, of course. As the French proverb says: "Of tastes and colors one should not discuss." And I shouldn't have in the 1st place...

Ah well, as you say, each to their own.

I had this desktop a few years ago... maybe I'll bring it back for the monsoon season. This picture was taken from my backyard...

I tried Puppy to keep an old Thinkpad X24 going (with just 256M RAM); now it's my favorite computer. This is Lupu 5.1. I stayed with JWM to keep it light. Thanks to everyone I borrowed from (including dejan555 for the wallpaper concept), and to all the members of this forum for maintaining such a useful resource.

SpaceFM is really nice. And I like how ROXTerm and Mplayer look with no titlebar. I used Faenza "action" icons to replace the GTK stock icons.

ooooh. I really like the minimal subdued look. Sometimes less is more, and you've hit the nail on the head!
