Yes, it's a pretty good editor. 666philb mentioned somewhere that he deliberately downgraded Geany version from 1.36 to 1.35 due to performance. Maybe with MP the same case.

Yes and no. The problem is not solved. But the answer to the question has been received.

taersh is right. He understood me correctly. And without third-party soft, just about the native menu.

To have additional Menu categories seems to be the only way to solve this. Yes, I have the same screen resolution. And the catch is also mainly with Multimedia, well, and also emulators. I was just hoping someone had figured out a neat trick to display the submenus and not have to clutter up the ma...

Hello. Let's say we have a LOT of items in one of the submenus of the main menu. Does anyone know a way to make the items appear not infinitely vertically, but rather horizontally, split into multiple vertical columns?

Some specific soft for Fossapap. A large collection of karaoke with a graphical shell. https://yadi.sk/d/L63pwkkUkdayHQ ( KaraokeBase-fossapup_9.5.sfs md5: 23199510a0dc879e4aa2c66d17cdb0fd ) You need to load and mount 32bit compatibilty sfs from quickpet if you don't have it. Run through Menu>>Multi...

Any other game like this? Well, I have a desire to make a collection of classic and not really classic 2D games for Puppy. Such as: Blazing Chrome, Rayman Origins and Legends, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Cave Story, Spelunky, Streets of Rage and in general in that spirit. There should be one shel...

Old good Hurrican compiled in Fossapup64. If someone has forgotten, Hurrican is a freeware jump and shoot game that is based on the well known Turrican game series https://www.winterworks.de/project/hurrican/ Run through Menu>>Fun>>Hurrican And here's the .pet: https://yadi.sk/d/G8J6lX6rCvlUMQ PS. 1...

I think the cleanest solution is to change /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc Adapt <Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray</Include> so that it includes your customized and renamed file (e.g. jwmrc-grey :) ). Then run fixmenus and jwm -restart. The JWMDesk can do whatever it likes to .jwmrc-tray, it just wouldn't...

You could also change the file /usr/local/jwmdesk/jwmdesk I don't know which version you are using. This would work for JWMDesk 2.5. Starting at line 2309 find: <vbox space-expand="true" space-fill="true"> <text use-markup="true"><label>"<b><span size='"'medi...

So. We write something like this to the file /usr/local/bin/jwmdesk #!/bin/sh cp .jwmrc-tray 1/ /usr/local/jwmdesk/jwmdesk cd ~/1/ cp .jwmrc-tray ~/ Then you can change cursors, icons and backgrounds and panels will not disappear from .jwmrc-tray Is it stupid? Sure. It works? Yes. If there are no sm...

Thanks for the historical tour. I realized that Germany was homeland for Puppy's desktop customization software(and also have the best beer and cars :) ). But what about the topic? Maybe just throw out all the parts that are corrected by hand from the /usr/local/jwmdesk/jwmdesk file? For example 'Tr...

A good programmer should avoid to overwrite existing files by templates to modify a single parameter like e.g. the height of menu entries. This is not calling any programmer being a bad programmer I'm just talking about that. Let's blame it on my poor english language skills. I'll explain though. T...

Okay, tell the truth. But somehow more softer. Otherwise, the author may be offended and will not fix anything In fact, you called him a bad programmer

Guys, we're not going to scold JWM or JWMDesk here. We're here to come up with workarounds.
And as far as I understand, there is no standard way as usual. Everyone has their own chips and gags.

Update: colored eyes and inscription. Update-2: added variant with escape sequences. Hi everyone. I made for Fossapup console color ASCII graphics here at my leisure (remove extension .txt, make executable and run with right mouse click and Run in Terminal) ASCII-fossa.txt Variant with escape sequen...

But in general, JWMDesk Manager is good. Icons, cursors, themes, all that. It would be nice to use it too.

Well, the simplest thing that comes to mind is to use a script that copies jwmrc-tray to another location, then calls JWMDesk and after closing the latter, copies jwmrc-tray back to its place. But this is somehow ... mmm ... not comme il faut

Hi. I have manually added popup panels in the .jwmrc-tray file: jwmrc-tray.txt (I added an extension .txt for uploading to the forum) The panels are nice. On the left of the screen are often needed programs, on the right are games for Wine, and on top are emulators. If I run JWMDesk Manager, then it...

The page says 71. And you save it to your hard disk and see the file size. It will be around 196.

Hi, 666philb. It's a strange thing with XnViewMP.pet. If I manually download it from ibiblio via Chromium, then the size is correct (72 M) http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-fossa64/ But if download from nluug, then the size is 196 megabytes. And the properties say that it is Posix ta...

Hi 666philb. Why are there SO many disk and device icons in Double Commander? This is observed in both Fossapup64 and Bionicpup64. DC_in_Fossapup.png For example, device icons are displayed correctly in Linux Mint: DC_in_LinuxMint.png Link to the Double Commander (gtk2, 64 bit): https://sourceforge....

Windows users have .NET and we have Mono. Fossapup is a small distribution and there is no Mono in the fresh system by default. Meanwhile, there are many interesting progs and games created with Mono. I made a .pet with two free, fun and addictive games from Retrosouls Team written with Mono: https:...

188 image formats for reading and 54 for writing. I don't know who needs so much, but it's impressive

Just today I noticed that PPM lacks a wonderful program XnView(image viewer, batch renamer, batch converter and a bunch of other things). Here it is in .pet. Run through Menu>>Graphic>>XnView Multi Platform

No problem and no offense.

Also I tried to pack the libs and executables of TazPupppy STS. The original sfs size was 127Mb+ (600Mb+ decompressed) After packing the libs and executables and repack it to sfs. The TazPuppy sfs file is now at 150Mb+ (450Mb+ decompressed) Thanks, mistfire. This is valuable information. I didn't e...

Maybe a new discussion thread you might want to open OUTSIDE of FossaPUP to better gauge "size" and what it means. We are in a brave new world as the internet and multimedia is changing EVERYTHING we once knew! Well, I didn't want to remember my youth or open new thread :) Size is just th...

Who has any thoughts about the executable file packer, for example UPX ( https://github.com/upx/upx )? Sometimes the executable file is reduced by almost four times and this is a good level for Fossapup. Are we still chasing small size or is it not cool and modern anymore?

Grey, I hope you are making a topic about your Vice pet in Additional Software section :idea: :thumbup2: Well, it was compiled in Fossapup64 with GTK3 and OpenGL support and I don't know if it will work on other distros :) And besides, I cut out all sorts of non-standard and almost useless Commodor...
