Looks good prit1
I would change browsers to Firefox and add this theme
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6236
and then this extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1951
then package it up,
I would of done it sooner but I've been real busy with other puppy related projects.:)

Ps I've been building a lightweight ICEWM window manager that could also work well for this, It just needs to get Blinky working.

@Ttuuxxx:

I will install firefox and the addons/themes you have mentioned. I have the firefox that you had packaged with flash. I will use that.

Yeah it would have been excellent, if you would be able to finish the small icewm package. I am currently using Ezpup to get Icewm. And this really will make the output iso size around 110-115M.

Also, I have used wallpapers and icons from different locations from the internet. I have not clearly checked the licenses. I dont know if this will cause any problems in packaging and distributing. Have never done this. :)

Well This project is a bit risky to say the most, You would be best to get the right licenses like gpl, also when you install firefox, let it update, just encase it isn't the latest version:) takes about 5 minutes.
when remastering you'll have to manually move the /root/.mozilla <-- hidden folder so that the theme and plugins carry over.
Also I would install mu's gtk theme chooser and have "Glossy P" as the default theme.

and finally I would install libquicktime

oh ya I think there's a quicktime theme for xmms
plus I have someone looking into the blinky thing on my icewm window manager project.

- Have you thought of removing Seamonkey with petbegone?
- What is the libquicktime for? Can gxine not play quicktime files? I've never found one that Mplayer can't play...

If Prit1 finds it too difficult, because doing a custom puppy variant is very complicated and time consuming, as soon as I'm done my icewm project, probably in 1-2 days maybe sooner, I'll start on it.

I have released my initial effort of Macosx looking Puppy in this thread.

Do let me know what you think in that thread.

Thanks a lot to Ttuuxxx for the small icewm package. This ISO is less than 100MB.

Don't know if it really looks like Apple OSX, though it looks pretty nice and has 'OSX' in its name. So, I'm assuming it could fit into that request...

Yara OSX by fmiguel

I'm using it on my 2nd machine at home.

"you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0) :lol:

No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:
