With the recent work with pTheme, it now also supports switching of gtk-icons themes. AFAIK, this is the last graphical piece to make the global theming complete.

One of the major targets with pTheme is to easy switch between touch and mouse mode when using tablets. There are some missing pieces in Puppy before it fully fits in a touch environment, but things are evolving with Micks work in the xorg branch of Woof-CE.

Personally, I find Mick's Buntoo theme very attractive - default in Slacko64 6.3. It's great to see Puppy with this freshness. But, I am sure we have plenty of skilled artists in the kennel, and hopefully you the are willing to give us your facelift of Puppy.

For other puppy builders, preliminary support has been added to woof-CE for UEFI as of commit ba2a9b8.

What is new?
- Sort menu-items in corresponding category
- single click activation
- Graphical feedback
- More intuitive (personal opinion)

I will wait until Mick has released the next stable release before I upload the code to Woof-CE. It is not the time for brand new stuff...

"till next release"
You might want to look for some lingering xpm mini-icons still in puppy scripts till then

"Where?"
I have not seen any.
Can you point me to them?

"xpm"
Here is a little script that i use for these purposes.

#!/bin/bash 

# Change LOOK_IN path and grep options to suit your search 

LOOK_IN=/mnt/+mnt+sr0+puppy_slacko64_6.3.0.6.sfs 

for f in $(find "$LOOK_IN" -type f ! -type l -exec grep -Iq . {} \; -and -print) 

do 

 if [ "$(cat $f 2>/dev/null | grep -s mini\-icons | grep \.xpm)" != "" ]; then 

 echo $f uses it 

 fi 

done

"xpm to gtk/svg"
I have updated the files in woof containing xpm. Without petget which is complicated to read. But I don't think the use of xpm in the code is in use by the gui itself.

ffinfo, pmwget, tas, pwsget and wcpufreq is not a part of woof

"RE: xpm to gtk/svg"
In wcpufreq it is a commented out entry in the .desktop file.

I think latest tas is fixed.

The others the authors will have to be contacted.

Thanks!

As default, the desktop environment is LXDE (openbox, lxpanel, pcmanfm) rather than the more usual puppy jwm and rox (although these are still part of the build and there is a desktop switcher to activate them if you prefer).

LxPupSc is a 100% woof-ce 32-bit build but it does have a unique characteristic in that it is built from multiple sources as follows:
- Slackware base components come from Slackware-14.2 (a.k.a Slackware-Current)
- LXDE components come from Arch Linux
- Puppy pets are a mixture of Slacko-14.2 plus specific pet-builds when recompilation is needed for Slackware-Current library compatibility

Plus there are also a bunch of fix-pets, packages-templates, woof-ce patches etc. to get it all to hang together. (What properly goes where is still a bit of a black-art for me and I suspect some rationalisation could be done here!)

The kernel is a woof-ce kernel-kit build.

Thanks are due to many people whose more original work has been plagiarised ruthlessly:
- Jejy69 for the original LxPup way back in 2013 and particularly the menu configuration
- 01Micko for the Slacko-6.3 configuration used as a starting point and for much advice along the way and the pet-build system
- Stemsee for the kernel config
- Iguleder, 01Micko, and pemasu for the kernel-kit
- Mavrothal for testing and fixes (particularly the ppm/dependencies fix) and woof-ce advice and help
- Marv, Billtoo, ETP, radky, rcrsn51, gcmartin and many others for testing and helpful suggestions on the forum thread (apologies to anybody not mentioned)
- Smokey01 for the repository

Along the way, testing has identified some things that have found their way back into woof-ce for the benefit of future puppies (e.g. the sns/firewall-ng fixes).

In using woof-ce I have got a list of "enhancements" that I'd like to see:
- better support for incremental builds (1download to produce a list of changed packages downloaded; 2createpackages to loop to build that list)
- better integration of rootfs-packages and DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS- so that you don't have to tick choices in 3builddidtro-Z (e.g. have yes/no/woof as options)
(an interim change would be to make all rootfs-package chosen by default so you only have to unselect unwanted ones....)
- 3builddistro-Z to have better unattended operation - replace terminal questions scattered through script with a config file so you can start the build and go away and forget about it

The version of LxPupSc at the time of writing is 16.08.1 (hosted on SourceForge)
