Anyone planning on a Puppy Christmas Edition?

#1 Post by SantaClause »

Just curious if there was any plans among the community for a "Christmas Edition" of Puppy Linux.

You know, maybe a new theme (jwm and gtk) and maybe a pretty snowy wallpaper (open domain of course). Maybe even some Christmas themed games. Maybe even a Christmas theme for Seamonkey/Firefox ;)

What does everything think about this?

Seems like quite a bit to ask for and keep it below the 5Mb mark. I don't think I can do it. I am already busy trying to create a sword module and I am also working on my final exam for the academic quarter, not to mention I have not done any major programming in project since 1999 and that was using BASIC (something for my niece, don't even remember what it was).

What can 5Mb contain?

10 jpg (250kb each plenty big) and some gtk themes those are small... a cursor theme or to and a 250~kb semonkey theme

q jwm theme or two size neglegable

icewm theme if Ezpup is installed 100-300kb

that sounds very doable to me

you have to remember EZpup has icewm and everything and is only 15mb and this is just an extension not a repackage of EZpup although it could be (but I think that would be over kill)

Dear puppians,

I found these icons on the net a few days ago. They were in .ico format, so I converted them into .png. They're not too bad.

With kind regards,
