Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Afternoon, gang.

Here's a wee bit of complete silliness for y'all. A way to run the famous "signature" splash-screen from the "Matrix" sc-fi film trilogy in your terminal...

Wasn't too sure quite where to put this, but I think 'Eye Candy' is as good a place as any.

• Download it

• Unzip it

• Place the extracted portable anywhere you like.....preferably, outside the 'save'

• Click to enter

• Click 'RUN' to fire it up. It launches a urxvt terminal window with a black background, and the strings of green text "dripping" down the screen... Like I said; complete silliness.

There's 32- and 64-bit versions here if anyone's interested.....and a Menu entry can be added under Menu->Fun if required via the included scripts. Enjoy.

Mike.

Looks simple to sort. Will post back once I get the right lib in place.
EDIT: Sorted. Looks great.
Do you think there is any way to get this running in fullscreen without title bar? (Seems to be LXTerminal in VDPup32 - not familiar with this terminal)
