Hi, jimwg.

What are you doing / not doing to get it to work? First you need to create 3 distinct
"PuppyPin" 's (as PuppyPin1, 2, and "vide", if I remember correctly. [I'm not on that
Puppy right now.]) So, it needs some "installation".

As I mentioned, you'll get errors if you try to use the scripts as they are. The reason is I
can't know what you want displayed / not displayed on your various desktops. The
script structure is sound, I'm sure, but the variables, i.e. what you want on your
desktops, are in your head ! :)

That said, I can "coach" you, if you wish. That may provide a nice example of the
process for other members, too.

BFN.

Hello, jimwg.

I'm not familiar with Porteus depots, but you can have your pick here:
http://pkgs.org/search/?keyword=wmctrl

In the meantime, here's one for Puppy... :)

BTW, any luck with changing the ROX pinboards?

Best regards.

Fantastic! After much fumbling and stumbling I finally have multiple customized desktop wallpapers! Thanks a trillion for the help! Now, if I can just be glutton in seeking a way to also separately clock down the minimum slide-show render period in XFCE from one minute down to at least ten seconds. Wallch does ten seconds in Mint but there's no working version in Puppy! :(

But super thanks for the help!
