Hmmm, most odd.

Horoscope has it's own theme file in themes, is it that causing a problem?

Off course!! that answered it! Sigmund's trying to tell users that they can actually make individual theme for each widget! Not a problem Rob

OK determined that func when applying theme has wiped all colours from config files. All are missing colours.

All widgets are default white.

Don't know why that happened.

I made a new theme 'Silver' to set shades of grey and white. When I applied it, the widgets all defaulted to white.

I copied colours from a backup and placed them in each config. Clicked apply and all is well again. It even applies 'Silver' theme now. :D

Horoscope has given me an idea. i will do one for Moon phase, so the moon icon is always white.

I'm 'dopey' and occassionally 'sneezy' and sometimes 'sleepy'

Micks just 'boozy' :D

That makes you 'Snow White' and Zigbert the 'Wicked Witch'

Awww, I'm going out. Everything's going wrong.

Different computer, no changes. Click on desktop, widgets vanish. Click on desktop, widgets return. ??? What the ???

Convinced now there's a bug at work in either 1.9.9 or RC2 .

Two machines updated to 1.9.9 and both exhibiting strange behaviour.

Both load two analog clocks, but unless you realise they are stacked on top of each other. Drag top one across to reveal second.

If i click remove analog clock from pwidgets active window then apply, it will remove both analog clocks, no problem.
Then when i select analog clock to add, it also opens theme window.
Close that and use up arrow and it opens theme window again.
Both pcs do this.

RC2 had the older version of Wallpaper-0.5.1 (I think). Installing the later version Wallpaper-0.5.3 may solve some of these problems. It makes the backgrounds play nice with Pwidgets instead of fighting them for top spot. Worth a try.

Hope that helps.

Hi guys

Tv working fine on lappy with the '#' at line 30 in ~/.pwidgets/plugins/tv/functions.

Had an issue with 'Mail' not following theme. It helped once added the pdingo bat '2' in frontand altered the colours but still strange, appears it should be ok OOTB. :?

Rob, why did you gravitate back so quickly? :lol: Even posting in the rc2 thread. I just avoid that place. If I have abug I 'll report it but I couldn't be bothered reading that thread. If the bug is already reported too bad, let 'em tear strips off me! 8)

Cheers!

HOWTO updated, old info removed from main post, weather howto added to main post.

Rob, why don't you write a 'Mail' HOWTO, post it there (see my sig for link) and I'll paste it in the main post. The idea being, all howtos for pwidgets are only a click away.

Trio, if you can think of anything to add, do it.

Cheers.

Version 1.9-10
See main post

- Slideshow plugin
- Tv widget fixed
- Weather height 85
- Default channel change, easy, I vote skynews, works everytime... ------> Done
- Plugins - Cluster - run several profils -- profiles you meant
- edited profiles in cluster but it didn't work. Seemed to print to relevant files but failed in execution. -------> Answer: Calender - Now fixed
- /root/Startup/show_widgets --> /root/Startup/0_show_widgets
- 2 clocks ??? - Not here. I need a closer look. Have anyone found the reason?



PLUGINS
Trio wrote:It's not pop to pop up the plugin before you the widgets tree is popped..ok pop?
Calling '$APPDIR/func -apply' builds tree, so for 1.9-10 all tree-building is removed from plugins. Also much simpler to have only one place where widgets tree is formed. I think the end-user would like the help the plugins give. I have split the plugins in system plugins (sidebar, theme and cluster) and in widget related plugins. I will personally uncheck the auto-pop-plugin option, but most users will build their widget list rarely, so I leave it checked (for now). Let's play a while with it. It is easy to change if there are much negative response

Sigmund

Clock is not double anymore. last time is only the first install, now ok

Tv channel chooser works great, I know what you meant now, now the plugin is actually an extention of func -apply, cool!

Let's see other things, and i'll report if something's funny

Sigmund,

why do we have options choose clock hands color when it's not working for dark & light, they only follow theme?

I'll check out your site Mick
