mkdotpup: a new script to make dotpup and register it
by the way, i just tried the latest mrxvt dotpup
it puts mrxvt in /usr/X11R6/bin/
but it puts this menu item in Icewm:
prog "mrsvt" mini-sh /usr/local/bin/mrxvt -sr -e Bash
so it doesn't show up in the menu
also, i don't think -e Bash will work ... i think it should be -e bash
also, i don't think "mrsvt" is spelled right
i find 99% of the time spent making a package is spent configuring and tweaking and bug-fixing and testing

also, how about prompting the user for a few "preconfigured" eye candy settings? If we spent the kilobytes on it, might as well use the it
Or maybe prompt the user for their own command line option before populating the menus? for example, I like the tab better at the bottom rather than at the top (I think it's -bt option), I like to save a lot of scroll lines (-sl xxxx I think) and I like the scrollbar to rxvt style because it's skinnier.
Of course I can always edit the menus myself....

mrxvtset dotpup
This is a small utility for mrxvt
I compiled it from the source code at:
http://materm.sourceforge.net/docs/settitle.c
A couple of the features I particularly like are
Enjoy!
I compiled it from the source code at:
http://materm.sourceforge.net/docs/settitle.c
- Usage:
mrxvtset -t tab_title # set tab/terminal title
mrxvtset -c tab_title # create a new tab
mrxvtset -e encoding # change encoding method
mrxvtset -g color # change tinting color
mrxvtset -s number # change shade of tinting
mrxvtset -o [-+]number # change opacity level
mrxvtset -p # activate previous tab
mrxvtset -n # activate next tab
mrxvtset -a # hide/show tabbar buttons
mrxvtset -H [m|t|s] # hide/show tabbar/scrollbar/menubar
- /root/my-applications/bin/mrxvtset
A couple of the features I particularly like are
- * hiding the scrollbar
* naming the tabs.
Enjoy!

I think they might work if the /root/.mrxvtrc file defined them first. I haven't tried it because I'm using solid colors.papaschtroumpf wrote:Most of the eye candy options like tint and shade don't work for me.
-transparent does work

you can set the home and end keys in /root/.Xdefaults
the home and end keys in my mrxvt seems to work ok ... but i compiled my own version, with the default saved scroll lines set to 32000, and with the --disable-utempter compile option (so it doesn't need the library file)
here's a quick doptpup i just made
this is mrxvt the way i compiled it
this does not install mrxvt, or put it in your PATH
when you click the roxapp icon, it runs the mrxvt binary that's in the roxapp
if you want, you can install it by copying to a PATH dir

how about removing Thai and Greek support to make it smaller.
Also, do the -tint and -fade options work for you?
Also I can confirm that the HOME and END keys work fine with your version. I have not even installed the dotpup, I simply ran the executable from a locally unzipped directory.
I want this on my liveCD so I'm making an Unleashed

i like enabling language support, if it doesn't take too much space
it's nice when a person can use Puppy in their own language
if anyone translates icewm's menu to another language, you can upload it and i (or someone) can make a dotpup
also, i compiled nls language support in icewm, so it could probably run in other languages (i have the po files)
one problem, is i don't know a lot about getting languages to work properly
i think it's the .Xdefaults compile option that lets mrxvt use rxvt's Xdefaults options
i did experiment with tinting and shading, but it didn't seem to work ... on Puppy or Vector Linux
it may be that i'm doing something wrong (it has a lot of command line options) ... it might be that it doesn't play well with rox ... it doesn't seem to work with xvesa or xfree86
aterm does seem to work ok ... aterm pic:
