VSP Puppies
Posted: Sat 12 Jan 2013, 05:51
Hello!
I want to introduce some of my VSP Puppies.
VSP Puppies are usual Puppies like Lucid, Slacko and others. But these Puppies are very special, because they include some useful tools from LazY Puppy - like the SFS P.L.U.S. and the VarioMenu. There might be one day where I can not use the LazY Puppy any longer, because of newer Hardware etc.pp. To not to loose the comfort of LazY Puppy, I decided to modify its best features to be able just to install them into another Puppy, and: ---> GO!
The VSP Puppies presented in here, are the results of this Work.
1.) SFS P.L.U.S.
The SFS P.L.U.S. included in these VSP Puppies is a more forwarded Version compared to the current Version 2.0.5 (Forum Utilities) on the Forum.
It includes the SFS P.L.U.S. Remaster Suite.
The SFS P.L.U.S. Remaster Suite is not like the LazY Puppy LazY Remaster Suite. It's especially created for the use to remaster the OS after creating and adding SFS P.L.U.S. RunScripts. It will keep only the changes on the RunScripts Directory, the Menu Entries (.desktop files), the Icons and some Desktop stuff like 'PuppyPin'.
So, you can create RunScripts, adding Icons (Buttons) to the Desktop and then doing a Remaster. Everything is executed without the need for the User to act and/or to edit Files or Directories manually. Check it out!
2.) VarioMenu
VarioMenu originally is created by German User der-schutzhund (with some help from SFR - thanks for the Help). I have made an extended Version of VarioMenu and created a GUI as well, to set up easily the VarioMenu and the WBar. VarioMenu uses the Wbar in a different way. Usually the User runs Applications from Docks like Wbar etc. But in this case the Wbar doesn't execute Applications. It uses its Icons as categories and does change the Icon Selection on the Desktop, when clicked on a Wbar Icon.
The User just selects a category, adds Icons to the Desktop, and after changing to another category, the Icons will be automatically saved for the previous category.
Not much work to do to configure the VarioMenu.
3.) Additions to the Basic OS:
I will try to build each VSP Puppy with a standard list of applications and RunScripts - if possible.
Current definition of applications is:
- AppBuilder_Template-1.0.pet - builds an out of the box usable GtkDialog-GUI from a Template
- Design-Switcher-0.3.pet - switch Wallpaper, Icon-Sets, GtkDialog-Theme and Openbox-Theme from a single GUI

- SFS-SimpleScript-1.0.3.pet - again the pearl (8-bit quoted)
- Shutdown-GUI-1.0.pet - shutdown-GUI from LazY Puppy (without its special save or not to save to save file functions)

plus
- don570s right-click-tools - a ot of useful tools
- gtkdialog4 (0.8.0, if not already installed)
Current definition of RunScripts (SFS) is:
- LP2_Amarok-1.4.10.sfs - Audioplayer
- LP2_Aqualung09b11.sfs - Audioplayer
- LP2_Audacity1312.sfs - Audioeditor
- LP2_AutoAdjustPhoto_GUI-1.0.1.sfs - Image resizer

- LP2_XFE1325.sfs - Filemanager
- LP2_XVidCap116.sfs - Desktop Videorecorder
These VSP Puppies are now renamed at remastering. I did decide to rename these Puppies to prevent not to have too many puppies using equal names.
Each of these Puppies comes by default with 30 activated desktops (Openbox). Dektop 1, 2, 3, 4 and Desktop 5 are independent, which means they do not use a VarioMenu-Category. Desktops 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and Desktop 19 are NOT independent. They use a VarioMenu-Category, which means switching a VarioMenu-Categorie will switch the Openbox Desktop also and switching the Openbox Desktop will switch also the VarioMenu-Category. They also predefined to categories like Graphics, Multimedia etc. Desktop 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and Desktop 30 are not predefined to VarioMenu Categories. These Desktop/VarioMenu Categories are free for the users need.
But predefined VarioMenu Categories can be changed though.
All Desktops can be activated by Keyboard Shortcuts. It is used: Alt, Ctrl-Alt and Ctrl-Alt-Shift. Switching the Opembox Desktop by Openbox Menu will not switch the VarioMenu-Category. Here are the definitions (will be standard in all VSP Puppies) for the Keyboardshortcuts in use:
Alt
- 1 - Desktop 1 - independent

- 7 - Desktop 27 - VarioMenu - User
- 8 - Desktop 28 - VarioMenu - User
- 9 - Desktop 29 - VarioMenu - User
