Hello,

Small, fast, and incredibly usefull .
Simple, easy to configure.
BRILLIANT..

A must have for Puppy!!!!
It will be in all of mine....

@ Oh, yea, no bugs, no complaints, no problem...

@ Edit: OK, one curious issue...When run from the folder, works great, but run from the desktop, or from the menu, no background???? Made a pet, installed well, menu item created fine, same problem... Still workes fine from folder...HMMM.. Is it me?

Hi Jay

You mean the program image file is not displaying - right?

move the files
about.txt
LIT
and lit.jpg

to their final destination
/usr/local/lit2/

Then in the file text file LIT
change this code: (near the bottom of the code)
to this:
what this does is change the called file from a relative position
to an absolute

There is also a spelling mistake for the 'Extras' pull down menu here:

this: to this: if it works OK stick your name here create a .pet
and upload the .pet
All LIT up . . .

I have included some potential icons for .pet

well I packaged up your last one for you, So why break tradition
Here ya go,

-fixed 2 spelling mistakes of the word 'software'
-fixed the floating image
-added the icons
-made a menu item Menu/Setup/Lit2

Enjoy Lobster & Others

thanks Jeff

I just loaded Dark Force on a Dell CpX laptop, 750MHz, 512MB

SWEET!

Now... I closed the LIT box because I wanted to rearrange the desktop, etc...

I don't see a menu entry. How do I get it back when I'm ready to actually USE it?

P.S. Thanks for this puplet! Its got all the basic tweaks I've been wishing for!

open a terminal then type
fixmenus
and press enter then go to menu/shutdown and click restart jwm

Thanks for the feedback tux! Got me thinking more correctly.

Ended up moving LIT from the startup folder to its own folder in /usr/local and adding an entry in the menu.

All is well, thanks.
