I have literally never had a problem with obmenu-generator.

But I imagine trying to "upgrade" to ascii or ceres or anything else that's not only unstable at the moment but isn't in fact even an official alpha release, might present some issues....

I guarantee you when the VUA's officially release 2.0, that I will produce a stable Vuu-do that most likely will still use Obmenu-generator as it's simple and relatively bulletproof IF you use it in a stable distribution.

So....code please for your children who use Miyolinux themes exclusively.

Testing Firefox Quantum now, Miyo is giving it high marks and I see some other folks singing it's praises online, so thought i'd give it a whirl, just downed the tar.bz and am running it unpacked but not installed for now.

First impression: Looks nicer than previous editions, and is honoring my gtk2 theme right out of the box, so that's a good deal.

I know right? Me too, working on a simple image cropper to use for a pcmanfm extension. I actually made one that works in two lines of code but only works right on an image that's the size of your screen or smaller because it uses scrot's select function, it will crop any size image but since scrot only works on the visible image as opposed to the actual image, the crop on larger images is too small.

Gonna have to figure out how to do it with imagemagick or maybe the python pil library....but the quickie scrot method was just too fun not to try.

If you have gpicview, yad, and scrot, try this (replace the image file name with one of yours), the gpicview portion is to view the cropped image and also to close yad window:

yad --title="Select area using the mouse" --picture --close-on-unfocus --no-buttons --size=fit --filename=IMG_8678.JPG --center --width=800 --height=600 &
scrot -q 100 -s -e 'gpicview $f'

You are way more eloquent than I am, so I waited you out!

Couldn't have put it better. I LOVE your style, your sense of the aesthetic, color choices, the excellent Miyolinux Dark OB theme, and your ability to reach outside the repo to find new and innovative solutions like Obmenu-generator and the Numix themes.

I think our work the last few months has really complimented each other, I know mine is vastly improved due to the Miyo influence.

But in the end, more is better, even if it's a bunch of one-man shows like we got going. Makes for a healthy, diverse, and robust development environment. I'm super happy with what's happening here, and looking forward to ascii and beowulf for new challenges.

I keep hoping i'll log on one day and see "Fungi-Linux" on the list

Okay, i'll give it a shot (I like backgammon!), I have to sit down and update the 32 bit Openbox iso first, it's still on version 1.0.2, I really should either update the Mate isos too or take them down, they are way behind the curve as well....

When the last portion of a button is a command instead of a result, the yad window stays open until you close it manually.

If however you want it to close after making the selection, the quick-n-dirty way is to add --close-on-unfocus, most window managers focus new windows automatically or as the default setting, so after the selection opens the yad window will close automatically.

Here's an example, this is my solitaire chooser:

#!/bin/sh

# Simple version chooser for the solitaire program (ace of penguins), avoids having to have separate menu entries.

yad --close-on-unfocus --fixed --center --form --title=Solitaire --borders=10 --text-align=center --text "- Choose which version to play -" --button=Klondike!/usr/share/icons/Oxy2-ZEN/24x24/apps/gnome-aisleriot.png!"Click to play Klondike (classic solitaire)":/usr/games/ace-solitaire --button=Freecell!/usr/share/icons/Oxy2-ZEN/24x24/apps/gnome-aisleriot.png!"Click to play Freecell":/usr/games/ace-freecell --button=Canfield!/usr/share/icons/Oxy2-ZEN/24x24/apps/gnome-aisleriot.png!"Click to play Canfield":/usr/games/ace-canfield

FYI wicd is just specific about which routers it likes, and those it doesn't like. There are also unresolved conflicts with other programs in the repo, using the Aurora theme engine for instance will screw wicd up BAD, I have no idea why but as yet no warning about that in the package description, Aurora has had problems with multiple programs for years, and needs to be dropped or fixed. Damn shame as it's very pretty.

Some routers wicd will put up the list and will try to connect, but hang up at the IP address portion, anytime you see wicd hanging up on that last step for more than a few seconds, click cancel and then try again and it will usually connect.

I'm gonna do the local polar bear plunge this year, but i'm gonna horrify my neighbors by doing it in a g-string, lololol! All for charity so they can't say squat.

Hell I do that on 70 degree days. Usually sipping a beer.

yup. may do it later.

New version 1.0.5 of Vuu-do Openbox-64 is now uploaded, both minimal and maximal. Changes have been mostly noted in this thread at least the major ones, as usual there has been a ton of small stuff and some not-so small stuff.

Maximal is down nicely to 570 mb due to some more icon removal and removing Libreoffice's giant gallery of stuff most people don't use. But Writer will now import/export/create/edit pdf's, and cups will print them, and Libre now follows the Vuu-do gtk theme.

New calendar, new Inkscape functionality, I actually added some needed icons to Oxy2-ZEN while flushing others.

Plus now you get Minesweeper.

Lots of updates from Devuan including some security and updated keyrings etc., all working smoothly, Amprolla rocks!

Best Vuu-do yet, enjoy!

The group of ruffians collectively known as the Devs of Devuan Derivatives on the other hand, would now like to be known as:

The Knights who say "D" (but not in front of children).

We shall say D to you again if you do not appease us. We no longer want shrubbery, we want beer. A nice pale ale will do, not too hoppy mind you.
