Slacko 5.5 Final
Hi Sigmund
In frisbee, rerwin has calls to bottom and bottom-right bottom-left (IIRC), frisbee is included in the latest which you can use because a graphics driver exists Pemasu saw this trouble too with frisbee.
When those calls are made JWM does the cascading placement. Hope I'm clear enough, just have to rush out, just caught your post!
EDIT if you change lines 233 and 238 to Y=`expr $ROOTY - 90` #was 70 it works but top-right still shows in center and so does bottom-right.

Fresh manual frugal install of non-pae. It works.
What's up with the gigantic fonts? Had to take my glasses off and back away from the monitor....
More testing later.
EDIT:
One click took care of that little problem.

The fonts are 96dpi, it's an option in woof, I changed rox fonts to 10 and gtk fonts to 10, to offset it a bit. Anyway thought I'd give it a try

In addition in Rox filer/pinboard/options/ select "no shadow" and increase the font size to 12 -- you may prefer bold. Then restart X again.
In order to obtain the benefit of 01Micko's experimental change to 96 dpi you do need to stick with 96 dpi and then engage all the options in fontwizard if you have a LCD display. (Then restart X)James C wrote:At least it was really easy to change back.......01micko wrote:The fonts are 96dpi, it's an option in woof, I changed rox fonts to 10 and gtk fonts to 10, to offset it a bit.

I have looked at gtksplash, and tried several solutions, but the text-widget is hard to fight. - It lives a bit on its own.
- I tried to set a hardcoded width of gtksplash and force the text to wrap at ie 20 chars. The text wraps correctly, but the splash-window still wouldn't be placed to the right.
- The text-widget has a builtin wrap formula. This one works if x-placement is set far enough to the left, but this could not be called top-right if text is short.
- Tried to override with the <window> attribute 'default-width', but no go.
- The only way I found to override the strange text-widget behavior, is to define window size in the gtkdialog --geometry parameter. BUT since this require both width and height this fails when text wraps and need more height.
I see in the code that top(center) and top-right is getting the same settings, so the original author has met this limitation before. I don't think this is a specific behavior of my updated gtkdialog-splash code.

... you got my "fix" for bottom though.. right?zigbert wrote: ?
I guess the other options are left in there to be compatible with the yaf-splash wrapper.

Yes I got your fixes. Do you want me upload your fixes in my 'Suggested codelines' thread.... yes, I think so.
I forgot to mention I also made an alternative with an extended gtkrc file to get rid of the <span> attribute. But this had no effect on the placement issue. I have earlier had trouble with the <span> defining extra required space for the window.

Yes, was aware that's why "fix" was quoted . Same situation in the standard version anyway. It is good enough for rerwin's frisbee modifications so that's good enough for me.zigbert wrote:Also
Be aware that the bottom fix does not fix the case where text contains more than one line.

Ok, just caught your latest post, no rush ATM
I'll look into this but I think it may be a naming issue of the sfs. Thanks for report.tlchost wrote:Beta 5403 - Selecting SFS files to load at boot not operating correctly. When files are selected, they are added to /etc/rs.d/BOOTCONFIG correctly.

Slacko 5.4.1 Beta
I tried a frugal install of both the pae and non-pae versions of 5403
and I got the same result with both on my hp desktop pc with intel
graphics.
Things seemed normal on first boot, got to the desktop with
network,sound, working and proper graphics driver.
Rebooted creating save file.
I installed a few pets, then installed some apps from ppm.
While the ppm was working I noticed some missing icons here and there,
when everthing finished installing I rebooted but when back at the
desktop the screen was full of red triangles and the drive icons were
little red x's.
Same story with both versions of 5403.
I guess it has to do with the new font size wrecking the rox filer
pinboard (after seeing the message from ETP)

Rox-Filer bug
Hello 01micko
Last year, there was a bug in ROX-Filer patched by npierce. The patch wasn't applied to Slacko, it remained until version 5.4. I can't tell if the new beta has the bug, no broadband to download here, so I'm posting the link to the information and the patch:
