I will try to make a pet if it works. It needs an upgraded glib and libsoup so I need to make sure those upgrades don't break anything.

Arora browser built on the latest QT runs stable, flash works on it also and has a some plugins.http://code.google.com/p/arora/ You might want to try that. I did compile it on puppy 5.2, I also tried it on earlier qt version, and it was unstable, so use the latest qt if your going to try it.

Is there any way to insert the currently-running version number of Fluppy into the icon somewhere?

I'd like to see it in the "puppy" widget...I think it's in the clock widget, but that takes too much real estate.

A manual way like this a lot easier
Here is another option an apple look
I havent made the backgrounds in different colors yet though for this new template

I am using Fluppy013 on a bootable USB drive. Pidgin logs are taking up more and more space. I moved /root/.purple/logs to /mnt/home/.purple/logs and created a relative link to /root/.purple/logs

When I reboot, the system reports that it can not find/access the log files in /mnt/home/.purple

Any hints? I would rather not turn off the logs, but at some point I will have to do it to keep the save file from getting full.

Thanks
Thom

My son just asked if there is an app to open "7zip" files, whatever those are?

He mumbled something about Microsoft ... yuck ...

Edoc,

I'm not sure about Fluppy's default archiver, but Peazip should handle any format your son throws it's way.

@ edoc

7zip is I think a open source clone of winzip it also does lots of other compressed archives including its own 7zip format. I use it for rar files.
Run it with wine when required

Is this a FAT flashdrive? Symlinks and FAT don't get along very well. A symlink to /initrd/mnt/dev_ro2/.purple might also work better. Not sure what the problem is - just throwing a couple ideas out.

I've localized the puppyhelp application so it will
automatically open a HTML file on your hard disk

For example if you are using French, clicking on the
Help Desktop Icon will open a help file that is in French.
Try it.

I've included locals for German, French and Spanish.

It would be nice to have it included in Fluppy.
It also works in Wary and Lucid Puppy.

Download and install these two pets:

puppyhelp-1.0.pet
puppyhelp_NLS-1.0.pet

Thanks heaps to Jemimah for introducing me to beryl-compiz!
I think it was with Fluppy 08 that i tried beryl for the first time.
Although I soon reverted to icewm, i would revisit beryl to experiment with what it has to offer.

I've done a new usb frugal install of Fluppy 13 with compiz and likes the default Rox panel instead of Cairo dock. If i want to change to Cairo dock and back to Rox panel, the Cairo dock switcher comes very handy - how easy is that? My compliments to Jemimah for keeping us users in mind...

I did find out that Compiz has changed the desktop right click menu. Gone are the Applications menu and in its place looks like the rox filer menu(?) This behaviour is preserved even when changing to icewm/openbox/flwm. I've looked at forum for compiz and rox in search of a solution but could not find a similar question asked.

Could somebody tell me how to get the Applications menu back?

jemimah · #1713 Post by **jemimah** » Tue 15 Mar 2011, 20:01

It's a setting in the ROX options. Go to Compatibility and check "Pass backdrop mouse clicks to the window manager".

Neither ALT+F4 nor CTRL+ALT+F4 closes a window in my beloved Fluppy 013.
Bug or feature?.

Here's the latest Midori.
http://puppeee.com/files/misc/midori-update/

You need to install all 4 pets. You should probably restart X immediately after installing due to the glib update.

I think this one's a real winner!

This package is for updating Fluppy13 only.
