pWidgets 2.5.8
@micko:
Don't bother to take a look again! It's useless when I come to think of it again. func is only executed when tree widgets is formed, that is when the user choose which widget/s he wants to use.....from GUI (start menu - desktop - pwidgets)
We have to think about how to make func create a certain command to be included in the pwidgets-exec file
I'll have a look there.....

I did not follow you completely, but I think the attached utility might help you.
Copy the file xmovewindowbyclassname to /usr/local/bin/.
Compile it by typing "make", if it does not run.
Usage:
xmovewindowbyclassname xonclock 100 200
This should move xonclock to the desired position.
Note: it does not check the title of an application, but the classname, as this is the only thing xonclock provides for identification.
The classname of a program can be found with "xprop".
Did not check it in JWM, but in icewm and emerald it works.
By the way: the newest xonclock can be moved with the mouse, I think older versions could not.

@MU:
Actually what xonclock needs is raise its window to normal/desktop layer. But, I think we could use your script when the no-winredirect flag is true in xonclockrc, set the icewm winoptions, and put the xmovewindowbyclassname xonclock xpost ypost in the pwidgets-exec file.
This could be an alternative for my script of mouse clicking on the clock.
Thanks MU

Hi MU & Micko & Zigbert:
I am right, this is an alternative way of xonclock wake up call. I tested in Icewm, haven't test in jwm below are what to do:
1. download and copy MU xmovewindowbyclassname to usr/local/bin and I also symlink to usr/sbin
2. in root/.xonclockrc: no-winredirect = true
3. in root/.icewm/winoptions:
#xonclock
xonclock.ignoreTaskBar: 1
xonclock.allWorkspaces: 1
xonclock.dTitleBar: 0
xonclock.dBorder: 0
xonclock.dSysMenu: 0
xonclock.dResize: 0
xonclock.dClose: 0
xonclock.dMinimize: 0
xonclock.dMaximize: 0
xonclock.ignoreNoFocusHint: 1
xonclock.layer: Normal
Note: please notice that I don't put xonclock.geometry
4. I edited usr/local/pwidgets/func
replace existing lines with this part just after . "$APPDIR"/box_splash &

1. mouse clicking on the xonclock with xevent

Do you use geany for text editing? If so, it tells you what line you are on in the bottom left hand corner. This is just to make things faster and simpler.
I'll check it out and we could be on a winner!
Thanks for your good work!

as trio showed, the layer can be set in the icewm options.
If you need a different solution, e.g. for other windowmanagers, please let me know.
I could modify xmovewindowbyclassname to set a pogram to a certain layer.
Layers are defined by "type hints".
These hints are usually available in most windowmanagers:

The idea is to please Icewm and Jwm. Zigbert designed Pwidgets with Jwm in mind but many of us have tested and resolved issues in Icewm. This is because both WMs are to be included in Puppy4.2-'DeepThought'. Any help with Jwm wil be appreciated, Thanks Mark.MU wrote:as trio showed, the layer can be set in the icewm options.

I can't get it to work. It is very strange, something minor. I restart X and clock appears on left of screen but with the wallpaper of the right of screen! I got a fresh copy of .xonclockrc and changed nowindirect=true. I deleted all lines about xonclock in fixwidgets.
Did you test when you want to change widgets? Can't get that to work.
If you could learn to make a .pet it would be simpler. All you need is a directory in /root, name it 'clockfix' or whatever, inside you make the directories of the exact path where you want to install your files. So you have a tree in there. You make up you 'func' file, your pwidgetsexec file your fixwidgets file , whatever you need and place them in the exact folder where they belong inside your main folder (clockfix or whatever). Then from a terminal you type "dir2pet /root/clockfix" and then you follow the instructions. It is easy. Inform people of what risks there are in your pet, upload it here as an attachment and your done!
Technosaurus has a very valuable 'howto' on pet creation. It is linked in his signature. Read it if you get the time. It is very good.
My files are a mess at the moment because I've tested and changed and edited lots of things to do with Pwidgets and some other stuff, so this way, if it works for you then you can quickly debug why it doesn't work for me or him or that other bloke! Also. it gets a lot more people testing, BUT, one valuable lesson I've learned is always warn people that they try things at 'their own risk'. That way they can't abuse you too much!
Another good thing to do is have the pet and if you think it is risky, ask people if they want it, you can PM it to them.

Mick

4. Please download attached file (func.tar.gz) and extract to /usr/local/pwidgets/
(don't forget to back up your func file first)
5. So func file will generate root/.pwidgets/pwidgets-exec file like below:
xonclock --position=TOP-LEFT --offset-v=40 --offset-h=40 --use-background --skin=/root/.pwidgets/misc/Clock-analog.png &
sleep 5 ; xmovewindowbyclassname xonclock 40 40
xli -geometry +40+195 /root/.pwidgets/misc/frame.jpg &
scale2pics "/usr/share/backgrounds" /root/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages 126 95 85 jpg
xli -geometry +47+202 -delay 5 -goto /root/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/01.jpg /root/.pwidgets/misc/scaledimages/*.jpg &
conky -a top_left -x 40 -y 320 --config=/root/.pwidgets/configs/Calender &
IMPORTANT:- ONLY USE XONCLOCK SKIN OF 140x140 pixels
- ONLY USE WALLPAPER THAT IS THE CORRECT SIZE OF YOUR SREEN
Thank you all, now somebody please test in JWM, and also Zigbert now can consider 2 alternatives:
1. mouse clicking on the xonclock with xevent
2. xmovewindowbyclassname
Thank you
I repeat again the steps:
1. download and copy MU xmovewindowbyclassname to usr/local/bin and I also symlink to usr/sbin or if it doesn't work, please follow MU's instruction above
2. in root/.xonclockrc: no-winredirect = true
3. in root/.icewm/winoptions:
#xonclock
xonclock.ignoreTaskBar: 1
xonclock.allWorkspaces: 1
xonclock.dTitleBar: 0
xonclock.dBorder: 0
xonclock.dSysMenu: 0
xonclock.dResize: 0
xonclock.dClose: 0
xonclock.dMinimize: 0
xonclock.dMaximize: 0
xonclock.ignoreNoFocusHint: 1
xonclock.layer: Normal

sorry, have to upload new one...last one has error when put on top-left
by the way, Micko....I know your problem, it is the xmovewindowbyclassname is not working...
the xonclock will pop up anywhere on the screen with its correct background and then be put in the right place by MU's xmovewindowbyclassname
or another probability is you have not use the GUI (start menu - desktop - pwidgets), which will create the new pwidgets-exec file.....thst includes xmovewindowbyclassname command
Try it....again
And MU:
Please do if you could hack the program to set window layer, it will, I think solve the problem of different wms.
Thanks, all

I don't have any puppy with JWM active, could anybody try with the same instructions, but only the part of editing icewm winoption, you edit .jwmrc instead

hm no, I have no solution for the hints at moment.
It seem, xonclock does not support most of them.
A patch of xonclock itself would be required.
I did not understand exactly the problem yet, may you explain it in other words, plesae?

Hi Mark,
I already hack Zigbert's func file to accomodate xmovewindowbyclassname, and it works fine.....
But the real problem is that without the help of wm, xonclock always hide (below layers) behind the wallpaper, in order to raise it, we have to mouse click on the wallpaper, or set the layer with the help of wm (no-winredirect=true on xonclockrc), or set the xonclock always ontop (top=true on xonclockrc) which is annoying because the clock covers any window opening up fully.
So if you could make the xmovewindowbyclassname plus xsetlayerwindowbyclassname, it will be wonderful, because we don't need the help of wm anymore.
With the hacked func file I made, we still dependant on wm to set layer, only to put the window on the right place is independant.
I hope that could explain clearly to you....

Hi all,
Just a small hints:
when you put pwidgets on the right side, the widgets align properly, but when you put it on the left side, you may want to play around with each widgets config file (the x_offset) to align the widgets properly.
If zigbert wants to re-arrange all the widgets, so they will have let's say 40 of xoffset on the left or the right, then let me know so I also can change a parameter in func file to set the xonclock properly align with others. Tq

func update & slideshow start improved
Hello all, good news, I succeded in hacking func file again (sorry Zigbert, I hope you won't mind), so that:
1. like above it tells xonclock to pop up and be put in right place (w/ the help of xmovewindowbyclassname). Please read and do all above instructions also, but use the latest func file attached below.
2. this latest func file also make Slideshow will only generates scaledimages when it is chosen to be listed and applied from GUI (menu -- desktop -- pwidgets tiny edsktop apps) and never if pwidgets starts at puppy start up. please do below instructions:
a. in /root/.pwidgets/configs/Slideshow: please DO NOT put " " marks for image directory , so it should look like this ---> IMAGE_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/backgrounds
b. put the attached slide exec file that I made in ~/.pwidgets/scripts
that's all folks...please try at your own risk, do not forget to back up, (though I tested it and works fine) and have fun
ps: if anybody wants to make a pet out of new func, slide, and xmovewindowbyclassname ...please do and re-write all those instructions ......please do

Did you do anything to 'fixwidgets'? The old clock fix is in there. (I just comment that bit out.)
