missing icons

#41 Post by bigpup »

I get the same missing icons, if I use the blue theme. You can put the mouse pointer, where they should be and get the pop up info. I agree, they are just so close to the background color, that you can not see them.
Same thing happens with green theme.
Orange theme you see them.
Gray theme you see them.

Prehistoric, I dont think the icons are missing. Due to a bug, they are the same colour as the background Smile I had to copy over the blue set from 09.

WOW!!! This is my first time using stardust and I am impressed. I have avoided it b/c I try to only use puppies that have firefox as the main browser but this is nicely put together. I seriously started it up and said "Wow!". Good work by everyone here.

One consistent issue I come across is .wmv files not being associated with gxine automatically. Here is a link with barry's fix. Its the fifth post down.

Again, great derivative. I wish it was firefox but to each his own. :D Image

Did a fresh frugal install of Stardust 011 with a new save file.I've only installed Firefox 3.6, Htop and a couple of card games and everything is working as expected.

I haven't had any reappearance of the mounting problems either.

Great job...... :)

Is there a pet for the FF3.6 you've installed?

I have been using Wolf Pup's pet from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 504#207504 .

Firefox is the first thing I install on any new installation. :)

you can try this script if you have a webcam... if your machine is slower than a 1 gig processor and/or has less than 512 MB ram adjust the usleep upwards... you also may have to press the stop button twice.. er I should mention that this is experimental, and that it is technosaurus' idea, I just adapted it from that slideshow I posted a couple of Stardusts ago... .. :wink:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
function KILL(){
   kill `ps | grep PIC | awk '{print $1}'` 2> /dev/null
   kill `ps | grep -w PLAY | awk '{print $1}'` 2>/dev/null
   kill `ps | grep -w BG | awk '{print $1}'` 2>/dev/null
}
export -f KILL

#XSCREEN=`xrandr -q | grep current | awk '{print $8}'` 
XSCREEN=`grep -w 'Modes ' /etc/X11/xorg.conf|cut -d 'x' -f1|cut -d '"' -f2`
#YSCREEN=`xrandr -q | grep current | awk '{print $10}'`
YSCREEN=`grep -w 'Modes ' /etc/X11/xorg.conf|cut -d 'x' -f2|cut -d '"' -f1`
#XPOS=`dc $XSCREEN 340 sub p`
#YPOS=`dc $YSCREEN 300 sub p`
XPOS=$((XSCREEN - 175))
YPOS=$((YSCREEN - 160))
export XPOS
export YPOS
#GUIYPOS=`dc $YPOS 70 sub p`
GUIYPOS=$((YPOS - 68))
export GUIYPOS

function PLAY(){
	#show background
	export BG='
	<window width-request="150" height-request="116">
	<text><label>""</label></text>
	</window>'
	gtkdialog3 --class=jwm-applet -p BG -G +$XPOS+$YPOS &
   while true ; do
   ffmpeg -y -r 1 -t 1 -f video4linux2 -s 140x106 -i /dev/video0 /tmp/camshot%d.jpg
   kill `ps | grep PIC | awk '{print \$1}'` 2> /dev/null
   export PIC='<window><pixmap><input file>/tmp/camshot1.jpg</input></pixmap></window>'
   gtkdialog3 --class=jwm-applet -p PIC --geometry +$XPOS+$YPOS  &
   usleep 50
   done
}
export -f PLAY



export camshow="
<vbox>
 <hbox>
  <button>
   <input file stock=\"gtk-media-play\"></input>
   <action>PLAY &</action>
  </button>
  <button>
   <input file stock=\"gtk-media-stop\"></input>
   <action>KILL &</action>
  </button>
 </hbox>
</vbox>"
gtkdialog3 -p camshow --geometry +$XPOS+$GUIYPOS &
unset camshow
It "should" work ootb as long as your webcam is working with 431. And yes, i know it flickers alot!

Have fun :)

There's a typo in Puppy control center -> sound -> Midi
It says "Install sofware synth - Timidity++". The "t" is missing.

the problem with the invisible icons is likely because the Stardust-green Stardust-blue directories are "mkdir"ed after the script tries to copy to them... might as well just have the empty directories included since it is cheaper than the code to create them.

GREAT!!! It makes me really happy when you dive into it, and provides the fix.


Thanks a lot :D

When I run fixmenus, the typo comes back, so I guess it is from a template somewhere. Where should I look?

Regarding the miscolored/invisible icons.

The problem occurred because the installer script didn't resize the blue/green color-template coorect. Now fixed, and should be ok for 012.

Zig' remarked in the initial article on the pitb behavior of driveicons. Since p400, imo they've become less of a feature and perhaps more of an annoyance -
1) they need a roxpin .. not so good with other wms or methods of setting a bg and
2) there seems no easy way of setting a geometry of placement other than the default left-right at the bottom .. if I recall rightly, easy user-defined placement preference was an option in the early days
3) lastly, they can be troublesome :( (recently in my experience with s10) with mounted-boot on removeable media such as usb sticks if other removeable sticks are mounted dismounted - having a boot-mounted stick unintentionally dismounted by a confused protocol is not a very good experience, imo (unless one enjoys challenges :lol: ). win32 gets around this by assigning fixed labels (or driveletters) if one so desires - not sure if that's an option with BK's driveicon system in regard to removeable media such as flash storage.

later on, a "cheap workaround" was mentioned - may I suggest Gray's variation of wbar/vbar? (as done in boxpup, if I recall) - it works, but it's different.. (a user-gui for customizing it is another story, but placement is pretty simple once you find the rc), a nice side effect is it works ohne roxpin in several other wms ;)

:) a leaner pwidgets is good (taste and expand for those who like'em), but a read-only textviewer would be welcome (elsewhere I've mentioned xfe, xfw and xfv but weight may be a concern with such addons as another fm or specialized apps)

fix away, Z' :D

Zigbert,

Have you considered putting Searchmonkey in Stardust?

I made a quick hack to try and integrate the connect wizard into Pwireless2... just added an extra notebook tab, tweaked the gui to fit and added the before and after code, so it may need some more work (I already posted to the Pwireless2 thread)

Yep, I need sleep I do (between remastering q and s and getting it all as I like and viable there's been a few items neglected like testing 'cc) - so you have a drivebar already? 8)
