If you haven't tried x-precise yet I highly recommend it. It has the size of puppy, USB-drive capable, puppy 5.7.1 based, ubuntu repo enabled and the polish of Linux Mint.

Hi kooliepup,

Nice work and by sheer coincidence I may just have the ideal script to go with it:

Karl; The breakfast of champions.

I think Volhout hit it on the head again ( page 2 of this thread ).
Lots of great ideas and code has slipped through Puppy`s paws ( pun...).

I`ve suggested a community effort to create a repository of it, for all variant builders to use.

@ETP,

I like that.

It's a pity that the Aussie accent sounds like a Brit with a broom up his arse.

Would be better if it didn't rely on being online, 'tho.

Cheers.

Good morning kooliepup,
I agree that the Australian accent sounds most peculiar. You are probably better sticking with the “English butler

I dunno, my setup looks pretty clean. But ultimately I care about performance and reliability so any changes I make to the way a setup looks are based on pride and ego. I have old machines and it's more important that they work well and keep working well.

Puppy is often remastered to fit local taste or needs, language but not only.
Our french Puppies are not only a translation, but a new look.
Menus are changed, and we use to add some application to keep our french dogs still happy to taste some stuff

prepared by our cordons bleus.
You like it or you hate it, but taste it
Triton by petihar, for nice Cloud apps.
And for original desktop, as JWM is boring some of you, is provided by ToOpPy 2.1. Caution : new means that you will have to learn how it works, but you should not be frightened by 2PDE (or stay with JWM!)

Yeah the icons are a little nicer and there's plenty of color to be had... but it still looks, well, old. I don't know how much of that is stripped-out flashy bits from JWM, and how much of that is the Puppy-devs-are-not-necessarily-artistic quotient...

Even my mother thinks that Puppy looks like it's from the mid 1990s. She uses WinXP right now, with the "Classic" Theme (that really DOES look like Win98 -- she likes it -- I have NO idea why)...!

Definitely an issue here.

i was very impressed with the way tahr looks, vs the way puppy looked 10 years ago. part of it is the (fantastic) icons, jwm will only get you so far in terms of looks. but then i use icewm. why? it has all the functionality i need, and it doesnt waste resources that could go to programs. themes with gradients (possible in jwm) make a large difference.
