Trio,

1.) I don't get the problem with widescreen or the need to use the background_reshape script, I have 2 widescreens, 19" an 22" and works fine without it...

2.) No reshaping, so no need to worry about files produced.

3.) Yes, I will change wallpaper list to not include path.

4.) Yes, will rewrite code to show current background on startup.

Hope that helps.

Hi gposil I was thinking maybe a "Open Folder" button to open the wall the wallpaper folder up in rox? So like a 3 in the row button
"Apply" "Open Folder" "Cancel".
Its just an idea, makes add/delete wallpapers easier :)

gposil,

Did you read Barry's blog?

It's a pity that your hacked Cwallpaper didn't make it into the Beta1. But I think it is easy enough for you to adhere to what the /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/AppRun does in 430, as follows (if I may):

1. Exclude any ORIGINAL-xxx.jpg in list
2. Pipe $MODE = streched, tiled, centred, scaled (please find the correct terms, I forgot) to /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/set_bg
3. name it /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/AppRun to replace the original only

Then it should do exactly what the original should do, but with preview!

Other (not too important) functions in original AppRun:
1. Current background text
2. Selectable directory
3. Slideshow (but who needs it?)
4. Edit button (to go to mtpaint)
5. Maybe like ttuuxx said, go to the current directory (maybe to add or delete wallpapers)

Anything else? I think that's enough

C'mon gposil, you can do it! Let's make puppy more professional. Thanks

ttuuxxx

I hacked pcursorsel (used in 421) so:
1. It will not list ROX and default in the available cursor list
2. refresh x instead of restart X (so we won't loose any opened window) - thanks to xrefresh by Big Bass

Maybe it can be useful to you to replace the cursor selector you proposed.

Thanks all

trio...

It already does all that and Barry has a copy and the source, so he can fiddle with it, you'll find it here http://www.gposil.com/test/woof-alpha9/ ... kages/src/

Ok,

Now here's my own version (modified from your source). I include binary & source.


I name it pwallset-1.1 just to differentiate
It is only 1 file, called AppRun, you replace the original /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/AppRun

It is 1 file only, no need other files, so it will adhere to original AppRun in 430
and it won't list all the ORIGINAL-xxx.jpg

Hope someone can find it useful

Cheers

Edit: The attached contains binary and source, but somewhat the source became BLANK, dunno why ..(I lost it :( )

Cheers

This one is especially for 421 (compatible with pwidgets), and it will not list /usr/share/backgrounds/Pwidgets_background (produced by sidebar), replace your /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/AppRun with this one

Hi ttuuxxx

Just use /usr/local/apps/Wallaper/set_bg from any other puppy, it should work just fine

Here's another one, compiled in 430beta1, the differences are:

1. Will not list ORIGINAL-xxx.jpg and also Pwidgets_background
2. Compatible with pwidgets users (not native in 430)
3. This compiled app seems can't run in 421
4. tar.gz consists of AppRun and source
5. Please replace original /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper/AppRun with this one (you may want to back it up first)

I found this little home network chat client, I was thinking it would be really great if someone could convert it to a regular irc freenode chat client. The reason why is that its only 100kb in size, if freenode could be added boy that would make a great thin chat client with a gtk gui.
below is a screenshot and a pet I compiled :)
any takers?

Here's a new keyboard switcher I found, When I first found it, it needed Gtkdialog/zenity which is like gtkdialog.
Anyways it would open just fine without zenity, So I asked the user"clarf" to look at it and see if he could get it fully functional just using gtkdialog, well 1 day later and it works :) how cool is that, great job clarf:) The only thing that he noticed is that it runs a bit slow, so if any of Gtkdialog coder would like to have a look at it and see how they can speed it up, that would be great.
The bonus about this program is that it also has the extra Xkb symbols you can select.
Thanks
