thanks @icake
added to first post !

Some GTK themes that can be added to Fossapup64 9.5.
Give you more themes to choose from in JWMDesk Manager->GTK Theme
Several pet packages of GTK themes in pet_packages-common
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... es-common/

Example:
Stardust Theme
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... rt-0.5.pet
.

Hi
I made a .pet of the dark theme I've been using in of late.
It will install and apply a global theme covering all the main aspects of the desktop. Install and restart X
It is made for fossapup but can be used on other pups. I've tested on bionic with openbox and pcmanfm, upupbb32 and easyos...
includes settings for jwm, rox, picom/compton, dunst, conky, gtk2/3, openbox, plus all the icons so it is a bit hefty. I'd be happy to make a slim version if there is interest.

Download here

Your pet will not download.
Just get error message not found, when you click on download.

Have to agree, bigpup.

I can get to the Google Download page, but clicking on the button does nowt at all. It's the same in Chrome, Firefox, and in PaleMoon, so it's not a browser issue.

@puddlemoon :-

Are you sure you've got correct sharing permissions set on that folder? Or have you got it set to share by invitation-only? Worth looking into, 'cos Drive settings are not always the easiest things to figure out!

(BTW, did you use "Share".....or "Get Shareable link"? There IS a difference, apparently.)

Mike.

I don't if puddlemon changed something, but I was able to download pet package from my android tablet

I mirrored here:
cyan-glass-full.pet
http://ge.tt/20Fa9x83

After getting a blank new tab for around one minute download started and succeeded.
Though, I had to do it three times. Before that, the tab remained empty for several minutes without anything happened.

Okay; it works for me, too......after about 30 seconds. Never had a delay like that with MY Drive a/c, though....

Mike.

Odd indeed... the file is set to "viewers can download"
Sorry for the hassle,
Thanks dingo for the mirror.

Btw, probably obvious but some app specific colors will need to be set manually. I recommend advanced night mode for palemoon, vibrant colorscheme for geany and some others like hexchat etc will need some attention to match...

hi @puddlemoon ,

i like the .pet and will add it to the repo but need to make some changes to it first as it overwrites users configs for conky etc.
i'll look into a better working pinstall.sh that may prompt the user and also make backups

cheers

phil

Cool, sounds good. Thanks

It was the intention to have it apply the theme (and thus overwrite) but I assumed that a less demanding version would be more attractive to many users. Maybe one without the icons...

it can all be there ... but just done in a slightly different way i'll post a pet when done

hi @666philb

I share this folder with some packages that I made or slightly modified, others are original, but I know they will be of interest

Fossapup Repo

Cheers!!

Your theming is pretty bad ass. I give you kudos.

As for myself, A very good first post on the PUPPY FORUM following my first successful login.

***Totally unrelated to the fantastic theme: I would like to thank Nic for allowing access to personal(ish) files such as G-Drive. and wallpaper files, and I cant recall what else. My gleaning will make a better Pupinian out of me***

Hello! Thank you for this distro.
I downloaded the iso file but I did not see a Devx file. Is there one or is it already included in the iso?
I am getting ready to test it in the coming week.
Thanks

Michel

Hi @michel804
you can get the devx.sfs in quickpet, in the "useful" tab

Thought I may as well link to this one here, since Fossapup64 is the only current 'buntu Pup it'll run under (needs minimum glibc 2.28):-

Ungoogled-Chromium 'portable' (v85)

Some of you might be interested.....

(29/03/21) - EDITED:- Just to say that the portable 'Ungoogled Chromium' build I'm now using for this - from 'Marmaduke' over at GitHub - appears to have been compiled against much older dependencies (like Chrome itself), so does in fact run under most 64-bit Pups now.

Mike.

"The Secret Chronicles of Dr. M." aka "TSC" compiled in Fossapup. This is a two-dimensional sidescrolling platform game. The game uses a bunch of libraries(sfml, cegui, etc) that are fortunately available in the PPM, so I added pinstall.sh script and it loads and installs whatever is required(quite a lot of libraries). Here it is in .pet:
https://yadi.sk/d/Xbxsr2RyfkSVnQ

And some curious information. The game website has a version of the game in the form of bootable USB image. And guess which Linux distro is taken as a basis ? "Puppy Linux Bionic 32bit Linux". The compressed image is larger than a gigabyte. And the image itself is six (6 !!!) gigabytes.
Once there were games for Linux distro, and now Linux distro for one game
Check it out for fun:

Just a link to the AppFinder pet for Fossapup, viewtopic.php?p=14286#p14286

stickyjwm-bb64.pet by recobayu, from the link here: viewtopic.php?p=6342#p6342. Thanks recobayu.

I just want to link to taersh's 'Right Click Substitute' utility, here:-

viewtopic.php?f=106&t=987

By clicking on the MenuEntry in Menu->Desktop, it allows you to select and click on any Menu item, followed by giving you the choice of adding an executable icon for that item to either the desktop OR the 'Quick Launch' area, over on the left hand side of the tray.

I've posted in the thread just a few minutes ago, and attached a pair of 'all-in-one' .pets, containing the scripts, replaceit & xdotool binaries, and the libxdo dependencies, for both 32-bit and 64-bit Puppies.

I've been successfully using this for the last 3 months or more across the kennels, and it works beautifully in every Pup I've thrown it at. Thoroughly recommended.

Mike.

I have created an ibus half-Chinese language pet for fossapup64 9.0.5 and fossapup64 9.5.0

a. fossapup64 9.0.5
name of iso file: fossapup64-9.0.5.iso
name of ibus pet: ibus64_1.5.23-en-zh-bionic-23.0.0s.pet
names of other half-Chinese pets (released Dec 1, 2020):
fcitx64_4.2.9-en-zh-bionic-21.0.0s.pet
scim64_1.4.9-en-zh-bionic-21.0.0s.pet
yong3264_20201122-en-zh-bionic-21.0.0s.pet
names of Chinese language pets:
fossapup64-9.0.5-zhcn-21.0.0s.pet
fossapup64-9.0.5-zhhk-21.0.0s.pet

b. fossapup64 9.5.0
name of iso file: fossapup64-9.5.0.iso
name of ibus pet: ibus64_1.5.23-en-zh-bionic-23.0.0s.pet
names of other half-Chinese pets (released Dec 1, 2020):
fcitx64_4.2.9-en-zh-bionic-21.0.0s.pet
scim64_1.4.9-en-zh-bionic-21.0.0s.pet
yong3264_20201122-en-zh-bionic-21.0.0s.pet
names of Chinese language pets:
fossapup64-9.5.0-zhcn-21.0.0s.pet
fossapup64-9.5.0-zhhk-21.0.0s.pet

To use:
(a) any 1 of the 4 half-Chinese language pets will enable you to display and input Chinese in fossapup64

(b) any 1 of the name corresponding Chinese language pets will give you Simplified Chinese (use zhcn pet) or Traditional Chinese (use zhhk pet) menus, icon labels, tooltips for fossapup. For the Chinese pets to work normally, you must install a suitable half-Chinese pet prior to install the Chinese pet.

FrugalPup Installer, has a updated version, with a lot of new features.
Frugalpup Installer v35

Audacious Audio Player

Switch between Qt and GTK2 GUI from within the Preferences
Compiled from source in FossaPup. No jack, no pulse
Support for MIDI is enabled via libfluidsynth newest version (2.1.8) compiled from source with no frills and included in package, but as always you have to provide a SoundFont.sf2 file (which can be outside of save-space) and set the path to this in Plugin Preferences.

Sorry, it's FrugalPup v26 now.

But I expect that to be the last "feature" release for a while.

But thanks, @bigpup

Some of you may be interested in this one.:-

OnlyOffice

watchdog found it & put an SFS package together for it:-

viewtopic.php?f=96&t=2434

I did some scouting around, and found there was also an AppImage for it, too.....once again, at GitHub (I find a hell of a lot of Puppy-compatible stuff over there!) The AppImage can be found here:-

https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/appimage- ... s/releases

Seems to work with all 64-bit 'buntu-based Pups OOTB, from Tahr through to Fossa.....though Ozsouth has put together the required libs for ScPup64, here:-
