hopefully the deepthought theme will make it into puppy 4.2.

but if it does not i do know one other place you could almost be guaranteed to have in go into.

i decided i would try to revive puppy 3.02, and tronkel and ttuuxxx seem to like my idea. and currently i'm now the coordinator of it. So i call a good amount of the shots, while i have tronkel and ttuuxxx giving me advice.

so if it does not make it into 4.2. all you need to do is rename it lassie or chihuahua, and it's very likely it might get in 3.02CE.

it's true, ask tronkel or ttuuxxx if you want. And i hope for the best for you and your theme Zigbert.

The DeepThought_jwm_tray package has been upgraded to version 0.4.
See main post.
This is a fix that is critical when using the latest Pwidgets addition: Photo slideshow widget.

Sigmund I think WhoDo wants your JWM+Themes as the main default windows manager and also add IceWm as a built in alternative, Because what you 've done to JWM is just totally excellent:) I just made it possible to have an extra for others to enjoy. Heck why not mess around with my theme and build a new taskbar and menu, Its only a couple of tiny images. Smile

You did a great job with JWM.

I notice the icon in "DeepThought" for Abiword is the font icon, 'TT'. I have been using the "Darkfire" Abiword icon in with your "DeepThought" icons.
I coppied 'word48.png' from /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/Darkfire to /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/DeepThought, then reset the icon theme with 'Menu|Desktop|Desktop Icon Switcher.
I just thought it looked better. It fits in quite well.

Here is my curent desktop, all current `DeepThought' applied, with my idea for Abi icon, hacked clock and slideshow frame widgets. I'll add all those hacks to the Analog-clock `howto' and rename it, I'll do weather too.

BTW the pic in the slideshow is of the Australian Open 2007 when my wife went. Just coincidence it came up as I snapped the screenshot, suits the green clock and frame. Smile

Ok here ya go again, this time jwm has a icewm button when you click the button it activates a tiny script that copies a defaultwm file, that has icewm-session on it, into etc then it just restarts x server. So it will automatically start icewm. There is no seamless option for jwm to restart another window manager like icewm does. But this works, just not as well as icewm does it. Oh well I'll keep looking
anyways heres a test model.

the only problem that it has would be when you switch from icewm>>jwm then when your in jwm and restart X server, it reverts back to icewm because its using the defaultwm from etc that was changed to fix this I might have to make 1 more script in icewm that copies a jwm defaultwm file to etc and then executes the seamless transition. hmmm that would work Smile

in theory, here I go again. lol who song that "Here I go again on my own" hmmm maybe whitesnake from the 80's?? song popped into my head while typing this, lol

Fantastic...it isnt GREY!!!!

Well...Much Smile

I think that the MENU button should be re-labelled "Start". This is what new users will be expecting.
