i think you are referring to blinky ... just type blinky in a console window

Jwm and Fvwm95 and Fluxbox support dock apps ... Icewm does not, though it does have icewmtray and Icedock can be used for dock apps like blinky, but i don't think it will appear on the taskbar

i don't know if you can put a dock app in Icewm's tray, i've never tried ... maybe someone else knows

Thanks G2
I like Vista 2 (the red x and other icons are a credit to MS - yep I praise them where it is due)
(remember YOU MUST first install Icewm to use icewm themes - G2 has just updated his dotpup icewm intaller - a few threads down)

Also be aware that JWM is now very stable but the two most stable window managers (in my experience) are Icewm and fvwm (icewm is more configerable than fvwm)

I remember IceWM was the first tweaking I did with Puppy - using G2's early dotpups. They are now becoming very mature. I would recommend vista2 as inclusion in your standard pack GuestToo, many will then have a a choice of vista or 95 as well as the Nice2 theme (great for kids big and small) For some strange reason I really like it . . .

Don't you just Luv Puppy? I think I better go hug a tree . . . Smile

As requested, here is my Vista Black theme with Vista Wallpaper you can see here .

I think it's quite useless to make a dotpup of it: simply unzip the package in /root/.icewm/themes and you'll find a new VistaBlack entry in "Themes" menu ! Wink

(But if someone wants to make a dotpup despite all... )

Thanks GuestToo and Sbaguz for posting those themes! All I can say is, "WHOA!" I don't particularly care for Vista or Windows themes in general (not that I have anything against Windows as I don't---really!), but I love ART when I see it regardless. And these are beautiful pieces of art to grace anyone's desktop for sure! Smile

Again, thanks!

@Lobster: You spoke of Fvwm? You know mate, I tried to get that to run on BOTH Puppy 2.10 AND Grafpup (likewise upgraded to gtk-2.8 thanks to MU) and I couldn't get that to run to save my life. Sad

I really felt badly about that too because they have some down-right beauties for themes on Fvwm too IMHO, don't you think?

Let me think as it's now outside my 2 week memory limit here... but seems so I had some sort of "configuration box" come up, or "menu maker", and I clicked to enable it or some such thing, rebooted and... nothing. Sad

Unfortunately I don't have my Puppy running ATM as I recently wiped out my 98se partition and without thinking, Mr. Dumbo here (ME!) thought he had something to backup and after the fact he was right! My pup_save.sfs was there of course! -sigh- Right now I'm kinda too busy with other things to remake it...

Amicalement,

Wait, wait... I don't want to take all the credit of this: I would like to specify that I've only found (however not easily: in a japanese language website! Shocked

) and improved an existing theme. Smile

Anyway thanks to all.

As regards the icons, I think they are here.
