DotPups
Luna Dot Home - another XP theme
Thanks for the themes!
I found another XP theme I think some people will really like. Maybe you would like to try it.

(The fonts were a little small for my tastes on a 1024x768 screen so I made them each 1 point bigger)

Question about uploading files
I wanted to upload some command-line productivity utilities:
* dict - online dictionary
* look - look up words from a list
* ispell - spell checker
The problem is the dictionary for ispell too big to compress less than 1 MB and the forum limits uploads to I MB. Any suggestions?

This is an updated Midnight Commander dotpup package with some new features:
1) now you can easily extract .RPM, .DEB , .PUP and .DSL packs (among others) to subdirectory by just pressing F2 and ENTER
2)a nice icon in My RoxApps folder to start it
3) new menu items that help you to build dotpups
4) pressing ENTER on any file open it on leafpad

Sorry, broken english above :-)
if your package is larger than 1 meg, you could:
upload the package somewhere else
ask Barry or John if they will host the file for you on one of their websites
make a dotpup package that downloads a binary file package from somewhere and installs it
split the package into 2 or more pieces
in any case, i have the same powers and priviledges that everyone else has ... if i have a package that's too big, i have the same problems with it that anyone else has

Splash Screen for Internet Browser
this puts an icon in my-rox-apps
click the icon to run
delete the icon to uninstall
drag the icon to the desktop to make a shortcut
clicking the icon should launch your internet web browser
(Mozilla, Firefox, Opera)
a splash screen should popup immediately, useful for impatient people with slow computers

How do you make it choose a different browser if you have more than one? Say you want Dillo to pop up. I suppose I am missing something obvious.GuestToo wrote:Splash Screen for Internet Browser

you can edit the script and make it do whatever you want it to do
right click the icon, select App Dir Internet, Look Inside
right click AppRun, select Open As Text
to make it run dillo, put this line:
exec dillo "$@"
after this line:
`dirname "$0"`/splash > /dev/null &
(this line pops up the splash screen)
to make it run opera, put this line after the splash line:
exec opera "$@"
(if is in your path ... but you can type the full path)
if you have firefox 1.0.4 installed on hda11, a line something like this should execute it:
exec /mnt/hda11/pup4/firefox/firefox "$@"
there are ways the wrapper could be made that would let you choose the default browser
there's also nothing to stop you from copying the appdir and having one for each browser, with a different splash screen and a different icon for each one if you like ... for example,
http://tinypic.com/5cx4xy
i used a blue E as an icon and called it Internet because many people think the blue E IS "The internet", not just a particular http protocol web browser program ... i had a nice Mac OSX icon on mine, but i thought it might not be free of copyright problems, so i put in the Gentoo icon ... you can change the icon, it's inside the rox appdir, a hidden file called .DirIcon ... just copy your icon there and rename it .DirIcon (some icons don't work ... sometimes they will work after running them through xpaint or mtpaint)
right click the icon, select App Dir Internet, Look Inside
right click AppRun, select Open As Text

`dirname "$0"`/splash > /dev/null &

Fluxbox 0.9.13 for Puppy 1.0.2
[Edit: this is version 2 ... changes:
- the ownership of the files was wrong
- i added some keybindings
- - for example, ctrl+alt+P will take a screenshot
- i added a buttons-on-the-left alternate init file
- i made the taskbar a bit higher
you can install this version over the old version]
installs in my-applications/bin
uses JustGreg's menu
this version still has a problem with rox rename windows appearing in the wrong desktop, so as a workaround, i made those windows sticky (it's really annoying ... the older stable 0.1.14 version doesn't do that)
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/
if you have any problems,
you can kill X by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace
you can restart fvwm95 by typing startx fvwm95

If you end up in fvwm95 after trying the excellent aqua theme and want flux back - make a note startx fluxboxGuestToo wrote:Fluxbox 0.9.13 for Puppy 1.0.2

Fluxbox makes extensive use of the right mouse click and the menu is bottom right.
Many thanks GuestToo for adding more Puppy tweaking . . .
