[OPEN]Puppy 4.2 - pdvdsrb, full screen YOUTUBE problems
Posted: Thu 14 May 2009, 06:26
Allright, here we go...Following ecomoney `s sugestion
I want to report few findings about Puppy4.2
THings YOU CAN NOT DO with with Puppy 4.2 :
-Watch a movie on fullscreen in BBCiplayer OR YOUTUBE...
THE moment you clicked on the full screen button the Youtube`s ,BBCiplayer`s screen just flickers twice 2 small screans apears in the left upper corner , than they disapear and NOTHING HAPPENS...
-Can not just open a window with rox without getting minimalized in the next instant and see it jumping in the oposit corner of the desktop..Everytime you open the window you will end up with a minimalized version (Why would somebody think this is usefull i can not understend)
It is obviously that the moment i went to usr/lib and click on the window to open it that i want a FULL window so i can see better the contents inside ..
Nope...!!!
The new puppy forces you to click TWICE EVERYTIME YOU OPEN A WINDOW....
It goes like that: click once to open it....AND THAN CHASE THE WINDOW WITH YOUR MOUSE ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT UPPER SIDE OF THE SCREEN WHERE THE WINDOWS YOU JUST OPENED HAS JUMPED AND CLICK AGAIN ..IS ONLY THAN WHEN YOU WILL GET HAVE A FULLY OPENED WINDOW..
Now repeat this procedure EVERYTIME YOU OPEN A WINDOW....That`s counter productive if i may say...
-You can not enjoy anymore the AquaBLarge png skin for the digital clock(The one where the clock looks like a clock and not like a 2 years old kid draw...
This is what i am talking about http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=18267) One of the best from the Puppy 4.2 alpha...
Instead the folder is full with lots of skins which i am aware ppl workd hard on it...I do not ask for more but for that particular skin to be included in the main distribution...
-You can not just see how much free memory you have as the free momory applet as you can see from the picture is only half visibile.
Oh that`s something that needs to be fixed...right now we can download a patch from 215CE if i am not wrong..anyway that what the free mem applet looks like...What`s the point in having a new look of pupy if in 2 days we gonna patch it again and again making it look like a 215 or 4.1???
-You can not make The pdvdsrab to shrink a .vob file without losing the translations...
-You can not remove the Modern Seamonkey`s theme from the control panel if you wanted to...Classic is by far the best
You have to go to /usr/lib/seamonkey/chrome
and remove modern.jar from there.
-You can not move the mouse anywhere near Geany or console without having the bloddy upper toolbar or whatever it is jumping in your face and covering the very stuff you want to click on it for 5 seconds or something...
Cheers!!
Sorry about the ranting, mates!
