Do you want to create a 'new' topic in the Multimedia section?

I was about to share some more information that you might find useful and decided not to as is generic in nature and I am mindful this is the EasyOS section.


No problem, you can create a new topic there and share the link ...

Here are the formats for the link you provided:

Thanks again Jasper

Jasper

Thank you for your research.

What you found with the BBC seems interesting, so I wanted to test it myself.

Here is my MPV:

It's not a big deal, but for #20220721 copy limine.cfg it's still not quite the exact copy of the header of the current limine.cfg of EasyOS.

The difference can be seen, notably with the TIMEOUT=20 instead of 10 and the addition of a 2nd line break instead of just 1.
That's why in my 1st message I ...

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Create the mpv.conf file. To create mine:
mkdir /root/.config/mpv
then:
tee /root/.config/mpv/mpv.conf <<EOF

To save energy and bandwidth with yt-dlp (or youtube-dl), I use the following line in my mpv configuration file located at ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf :
ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=?720][fps<=?30][vcodec!~='vp0?9']+bestaudio/best"

Unlike a large TV screen, I find that a PC monitor doesn't ...

Thank you very much Caramel for taking a close look at the limine installer code.


EDIT3:
If, at boot, the text in the limine menu is too small, you can add a line
INTERFACE_RESOLUTION=800x600 (Or another suitable resolution)


I always found the text generated by limine installer too small for ...

Either I open up all the Buster, and other SFSs of that era, and fix them, or simply remove them.

Going forward, probably better to just remove Buster container and SFSs, as superceded by Daedalus.


I don't want to speak for all users because I'm nobody, but you have my vote to remove all PKGs ...

I don't know where this difference in size comes from, BarryK.

So I double-checked the steps I followed and here is everything I did:
- Opened 'MoManager',
- In category 'Binary executables', selected file '/usr/bin/jwm (fr jwm.mo jwm)', then clicked the 'Edit' button,
- After editing the .po file ...

Back with a translation file!

Improved French translation for JWM /usr/bin/jwm

- Proofreading,
- Typographical corrections,
- Harmonization of terms and expressions,
- Better French punctuation.

This file of more than 1100 lines took me much longer than I imagined.

Great respect for the work of ...

Yes, I then thought about doing everything you said, and I confirm that the following commands work:
brightnessctl set 10%-
brightnessctl set +10%

As well as:
brightness-set down
brightness-set up

Except that these commands do not modify the 'Screen Brightness Setting' of the rshift_tray ...

When we press the keyboard shortcuts to change the volume, notification says "pa-applet" instead of the volume.

It's the same problem as here:
https://github.com/fernandotcl/pa-applet/issues/16

And, an unnecessary 'pa-applet' notification icon remains in the tray instead of disappearing on its ...

Yes, I also tried every commands in terminal and they always returned a 'command not found' message.

But when I installed 'Dcontrol.pet' months ago ( https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10161 ) the following commands worked:
brightness-set down
brightness-set up

It was because Dcontrol ...

My sentence might have been misinterpreted, but should not cause confusion:

French authorities do not encourage their people to 'keep their mouths shut' on the Internet and social media.
Nor do they particularly educate them to limit the spread of their personal data.
However, regarding 'freedom of ...

Yes, I am quite privacy-focused, but I have no issues and can understand the point of view of those who are not.

Here, I was just being a bit cautious, just in case, and also because the local legislation where I am at the moment may allow - if anything happens - for the author to be ...

I'm still investigating, Barry!

In 2020, Ubuntu users also experienced the same downscaling issue as what I described above.
The article 'It’s Not Your Eyes: Why HQ Desktop Backgrounds Look Blurry on Ubuntu' https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/01/its-not-your-eyes-its-a-bug-why-hq-desktop-backgrounds ...

That's it!

The yad v0.40 .pet you shared solves the issue for yad windows on EasyOS.

Don't worry for the green window on the screenshot, I had quickly edited the infos with Gimp...
...maybe a bit too well-edited ah ah

Hi BarryK and pp4mnklinux ,

Thanks for your answers.

So I did several tests with different-sized background images, jumping back and forth between 'Qwallpaper' and 'MoveIcons', and here is what I've found so far:

When moving desktop icons to the tray:
- For background images having dimensions ...

It's quite strange,

Every time I use the 'MoveIcons' application to move desktop icons to the tray, the background image always becomes blurred.

My screen resolution is 1366x768, nothing special. And I only use one screen.

I've taken 2 screenshots to show what's going on:

Thanks fredx181 for the quick update!

I installed the new rshift_tray-20250106.pet on a fresh EasyOS.
'Screen Brightness Setting' and 'Redshift auto mode' work well as expected. Great job!

There's just one last detail (already present in the previous rshift_tray app):
The application's window ...

Hello fredx181 ,

I wasn't very available these past few days, but I can finally reply in detail to this post https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=138615#p138615 saying:



A left click on this icon indeed gives access to Redshift 's brightness adjustment setting.

As a side note,

pRun application launcher has been updated by BarryK , see blog post:

https://bkhome.org/news/202501/prun-application-launcher-updated.html

I haven't seen your version yet Barry and I already know it's great, but I think we had the same idea :)

Weeks ago I also created a better version of the ...

Shall I report PKGget Package Manager uninstall issue in a separate post?

I don't know... but it's a good practice to start a new topic for a different subject, to get more people reading your explanation of the issue (and to get more possible answers).

I installed DC again and LC returned to ...

Did you know?
You can also find your personally installed packages in the following text file:

An underrated but very useful file :)

BarryK ,

This is what I do on a new EasyOS install:
1. Launch Dcontrol gui and reduce the backlight,
2. Right click on the Redshift icon on the tray and check the box "Redshift auto mode" (for gamma adjustment).


In my case I don't see a conflit because I don't use Dcontrol and Redshift for the ...

szept ,

Uhm... Nah?! It's still in Menu => Desktop and still working, even if it disappeared from the PKGget Package Manager list. Any other ways to remove it?

Weird, I uninstalled it too to try and its JWM menu entry has disappeared for me.

I will help you remove everything manually.

Question 1
How do I uninstall these apps (Display control or Light control) if I'd like to?

To uninstall any installed .PET package, you can:
- Open Menu => Setup => PKGget Package Manager
- Click at the bottom right on the installed package you want to uninstall
- Click the button to ...

BarryK and EasyOS friends,

Good news:

I installed and tested the latest update of the pRun launcher, and it works well on EasyOS.

This version is better than our current one because the window is wider and we can also finally easily adjust the window dimensions.

You can find pRun-1.7 in this ...

And the screenshots for Light_control:

BarryK ,
If you don't use a laptop, I tested them and confirm that both Dcontrol and Light_control are great for backlight adjustment, for laptop users who don't have physical monitor controls :thumbup2:
