EcoMorph is a hack of CF + Enlightenment...=!
Would it work with wNOP?
Cheers...=)

Ah I see, have you tried Screenlets, it has wobbly icons (well 'screenlets' is a better word actually) and there's even animated wallpaper of sorts, though I haven't tried it myself. So worth havin' a look at anyway

New version waiting...
Hi Tombh:
This is my desire but I can wait!
Must it has a new fglrx-free-AMD-ATI driver for the new Ati chipsets or the possibility to try between the older one (7.XX) or the new one (8.XX). All to have acceptable 3D acceleration and AIGLX to run your wonderfull compiz.
I was trying to install compiz in the new Puppy 4 (NOP 4 with xfce) but it is impossible. My ATI 9550 don't want to work.
One of the possibilities as Wow writes is change to and Nvidia graphic chart but I am very pleased with my Ati.
Waiting under sun...

@jtouso: Have you followed the instructions closely on the Compiz-Fusion for Puppy 4 thread? Because in fact the open-source radeon driver is much easier to set up and actually performs better than the FGLRX driver on cards like yours (a 9550 right?). Pay close attention to the section in the HOW TO to the bit about bugs, both the findhostbridge fix and the rc.local fix...

so this ecomorph sounds cool ...i had read of a project that was working on E17 + compiz but i don't think it was called this
so it will work with any WM? WOOOT compiz + icewm finally!!! but maybe im getting a head of myself
Edit: k read some more... apparently just for e17 that slow bloated thing that it is.... animated desktop waste of CPU power IMO (and yes i have tried e17 several times.....i imagine compiz would help though i always thought it felt *rigid* )

Yeah, it's a more recent shot, a couple of weeks ago in fact, whereas the last one was getting on for a year old. Just something I like to do, gives the impression I'm a living, breathing person. Yeah it is funny how one gets used to things without even knowing, and how we most often suddenly realise it only once the old thing has gone. You'll get used to the new tombh I'm sure!
Best Wishes,
tom

To no particular person on this thread, I would like to explain something important about CF.
This is even posted on their website (forgot where, maybe the FAQ).
GNOME, KDE, and XFCE are all desktop environments.
IceWM, Fluxbox, Enlightenment, and so on are just window managers.
In case you don't know anything about Xorg, only ONE window manager can be run at a time. Granted, Enlightenment can be hacked because it's code is in a unique position: It functions as a window manager or a desktop environment (which includes a window manager) It has certain components that can be separated and modified specifically to work with Compiz. In order to get something like IceWM, Fluxbox, etc. to work with compiz, you must first edit their source code so that they behave like, and are treated as, desktop environments or at least desktop managers. This will take a lot of work, but IceWM and Fluxbox aren't too big, so it is doable.
On a totally off topic note, it's good to be back here on the Puppy forums. I haven't had the time to peruse this particular forum because of college. Also, if anyone has gotten VisualBoyAdvance (the native version or the windows version) working in wNOP .02, please post! I would also like to get the cool fusion icon that they have in Ubuntu working in wNOP .02 Anybody got a package for that?
