Somebody on the forum has requested a pet for Backgammon. This is the GNU version - pet is about15MB.

I don't play Backgammon (I really ought to learn), so I can't give an opinion as to what it's like. Hopefully it's OK

If you are talking about Compiz Fusion,

why not trying to use it instead of a Window Manager(together with Emerald)? This would speed up the system significantly! I tried different Puppies with CF and only this solution run smoothly on my Eee.

I used Eeetiger and Ripple for a long time till development stopped.The only disadvantage I found was that Skype didn't work with CF Crying or Very sad

. If this can be solved it would be the best solution in relation of look and handling I can think about.

From time to time I tried to install it by myself but it's far behind my knowledge.

Ok, dejan 555's xfce4 tweaked for lupu.

http://www.smokey01.com/01micko/lucid/xfce-deps-1.pet 4.2M, deps included.

It should install fine and run fixmenus, so you can go straight into it from icewm (X will restart)

else, drop to a prompt and type xwin startxfce4

TODO
*fix WMswitcher so it knows about it
*fix menu icons
*fix xdg templates so menus are correct

I use wbar with it, oh and all your walls should get symllinked to the special folder that xfce uses for walls.

Cheers

rightio.. getting there.. got the tray icons sorted.. will need to inform BK because changes need to be made in /usr/sbin/delayedrun.. there is actually a buglet in there for retrovol, I have fixed it but it's far from serious,

playdayz... it would be much better if we can move to BK's newer tray icons. No prob if you want Blinky to look similar, I can hack the xpm files and compile them in, Barry has new functionality for these icons too, will be important to move over to them.

Cheers

EDIT:

I updated the icons and the good news is they aren't compiled in, so any one can change them to whatever they like.

Cheers

OK, I had missed that step.

I don't see a difference on my display other than the background so have reverted to the "overtime" background.

Thanks!

There is some new stuff in Lupu News. Opera 10.61 and the beta of another browser that people might find interesting.
