Here is the first look at the "beta" snapshot, could be the next macpup if they don't drop the final version soon.I have compiled lots of extra modules like before and Itask-ng is working very well .I will show it off in the next sneak-peek. I am running the EFM file manager and my about theme window. This is the fourth snapshot of e that I have built since opera2 was released and the first stable one. So far I am very happy with it.

[runtt21]

Itask-ng , I haven't had a seg-fault yet.Not saying it can't happen But It hasn't yet doing the stuff that caused it to fault before.

[runtt21]

Development Update: I have built two new themes and rebuilt seven others to work with the beta snapshot. ( A-Special-Macpup,Wood5,MPBling,KDMP, MPFresh, MPHumanity,MPLight) Older themes like grunge,night bling,imago-macpup etc are going to be very difficult to update. I have also updated almost all of the animated icons. I haven't had any issues with this build of e so far. So this weekend I will start building the next macpup.

runtt21 hello, I'm glad that fence and out the next macpup.
what he meant was if we all macpup users (especially you) could do a complete guide which tells how to install and customize themes, add icons, shortcuts, wallpapers, gadgets, additional shelfs, configure e17, etc; as the information of e17 on the internet is very limited and confusing for beginners.

thank you very much and Excuse me by my English language

[runtt21]

" (especially you)" , You make me feel like I'm in some sort of trouble.


A complete guide for the set up and use of e17 would need to be it's own thread. There is alot to cover in that .I could see that taking some time and need lots of screenshots. Maybe after the next release. That would be useful for everybody , elive,pclinuxos,moonos, etc.

runtt21 hello, I'm glad you have it in mind though that takes time is a help to those who until now started in the world of enlightenment.

thank you very much

Hi runtt21,
do you plan on rebuilding a new Macpup to support the new Puppy Meerkat or at least Puppy Lucid?

I know it is a diferent distro, with e17 as a environment but anyway I had to ask? I like it very much, very well designed and working really nice.

[runtt21]

I am building the next pup on 5.1.1 . For some reason that I cant figure out E17 is stable in it. All of the builds of e that I have done in any of the 4XX puppys are not stable. I guess it has to do with the X11 libs but I can't find which ones. I have swapped all the ones I think are the issue in 4.3.1 and it still doesn't work.

[runtt21]

The other new theme....

[Brown Mouse]

Very nice indeed and really like the dark themes.
Apologies if this has been asked before but is there an icon that can be installed to indicate the size of the pupsave file?

[runtt21]

I don't have a real time graphic display for a pupsave that could be added to the shelf or the ibar. The way to check that in o2 is with ttuuxxxview or with the resize personal storage option .That will show you how big the save file is and how much room is left. Both of those can be added to the ibar.

Hi runtt21

There is an e module that displays all the standard puppy tray apps, the name escapes me at the moment but it built ok and I was using it in one of my thousands of installations! (well it seems like thousands! ). I'll get back later on that one.

Cheers

[runtt21]

01micko There are vast differences in the .061 snapshot that O2 uses and the recent builds. New modules wont run in older version of e . Enia,ecore,eet and edje have been overhauled big time.


The new systray will do all of that ,The old ones wont.

[01micko]

Oh, yes of course! I was using e out of SVN

Cheers!

Here is a look at the "alpha" build of the next macpup. Lots of stuff to do yet. This is mainly to see how the rebuild Lupu-511.sfs would work with this build of e17. Boots fine live, made pup-save , has worked fine for a few days now....
