Your folks hail from Eastern Europe / Russia? That's cool -- my father's family is IIRC half Austro-Hungarian (his mother was a Krehel*) and half Russian (my last name is Havel**)... I'm told that three generations back from my father, you're smack in the middle of Russia).

There's actually a small chance that I'm related to the late great Vaclav Havel, but it's not that likely. My father always wanted to meet him, but it didn't happen.

BTW, for the record, my mother's side is all British except for a Welsh family (the Morgans), one Scot (a McPherson), and one very brave Austrian lady whose last name I can't spell without help :oops:

* Krehel is pronounced "creel", for those not in the know.
** Havel is with an 'a' as in 'apple' and NOT as in 'father' or 'amen'.

Hello everybody,

Thought it would be funny to participate and share m desktop too.

Hello, all.

As compared to the above, this is a more traditional Puppy desktop style.
It has been achieved with pekwm-1.14, the pwidgets and a rox-panel at
the bottom. The base Puppy is BK's original PuppyPrecise 5.7.1

To make more room in the bottom rox-panel, stalonetray and xload are
used as independent apps and placed near the menu. (See bottom right.)
These are pekwm specific; if you go back to using jwm, jwm already has
them in its panel, so the tray and xload are not launched independently.

The desktop icons in the characteristic Puppy "triangle" have been poured
in the second rox-panel at the left. (See second picture.) The "set square"
icon acts as a lever for alternating the rox-panels, and the yellow and
blue pills further control the independent display of the rox-panels.

The menu in the center is pekwm's, while the menu to the left of it is an
improved aemenu (my evolution of aragon's spm2, now at version "g".)
In this derivative, you can have two menus on screen, if it helps you to
find a program or speeds up access somehow.

Just another example of what can be done in Puppy with a little
imagination! :)

BFN.

Hi!

Following up on http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... ost#777803
above, I managed to get pekwm's "Harbour" working. (See attached pic, top right.)

One may think that dockapps are passé, but some have stood the test of time and are
just the ticket in certain desktop environments. You can still find a good selection of
dockapps in the amigolinux section of the ibiblio site.

Also, in pekwm, you can show them when you need the info and hide them the rest of
the time, by using the key combinations Mod4+H, or Cntrl+Alt+H. Not so in MU's
icewm in his Muppy 0.84, if I remember correctly.

As well, with the thicker rox-panel at the left like that, and the light compositing, this
little dog is starting to look like a big recent Ubuntu...

BFN.

If you mean to line up multiple conky functions horizontally, in a single line - say across the top of a screen - then it's as simple as lining up the individual conky's function text commands into single text line, in the config file (using keyboard's backspace). I.e.;

Code: Select all

${do this=do that}
${look like this=look like that}
...change to;

Code: Select all

${do this=do that} ${look like this=look like that}
...should work. And of course, changing the space between the individual commands determines the space between how they are displayed - IOW;

Code: Select all

${do this=do that}                             ${look like this=look like that}
...will spread them out wider as compared to the previous example.

If that's what you meant?! :)

Hi, Puppus.

Just saw your post, sorry for the lateness.

It's pretty much as Moat described.

The settings part of your conky config file remains basically the same.
You may want to fiddle with the font size, though. The smaller it is, the more info you
can put on the line.
Also, position line set to top_middle or bottom_middle produces a nice effect. Saves
you a lot of figuring out for x and y parameters, too.

Then to the TEXT part. That's were you control the info that appears on the line.
Start with removing the carriage returns in the TEXT part, and you have a super-long
line. After that, it's a matter of cutting out the unwanted info until the line fits the
width of your screen.

Pic and config file for pekwm attached.

Finally, if you have a conky config file not named .conkyrc, and not located at /root,
make sure you call it with the -c parameter, for example

Code: Select all

conky -c /root/.config/1-line-conky-blabla
You may want to add the -d parameter to activate the conky daemon, so you have

Code: Select all

conky -d -c /root/.config/1-line-conky-blabla
Finally, if you make the above command line into a script saved, say, in
/root/my-applications/bin, and link that script in /root/Startup, your conky one-liner will
start at the same time as your Puppy.

Best regards.

thank you, musher0 and Moat.

where's the file in a jwm setup? (searched and found only the pwidget stuff--am i looking in the right place? ...it seems i have acquired a conkyconfig zip, which i suppose contains what i'm looking for...)

musher, could your pekwm file be used in a puppy running JWM?

thanks in advance.

....

i'm not sure what conkies are floating around--i had 1.72 and 1.8.1 on my machine (also presumably in my repo--suppose i could check...nope, but there now) and the 172 killed the ability to right click on the desktop, so for anyone using precise 561 (all i've tested so far), i recommend the 181, which did not.


is killing conky through the terminal the only way to shut it off?


is a whizbang shebang deal (whatever "#!" is called) atop the config file along with

Code: Select all

conky -d -c /root/.config/1-line-conky-blabla
enough to make it activate with a click or should that bit of code be its own file?


thanks again...
