The focus will be user friendliness, innovation, artistic look and feel, and solid, functional applications.
I first really want to get Saluki to a point where it feels very comfortable to new Puppy users and addresses all the common usability complaints:
Unfamiliar desktop and file manager
Crowded and confusing menus
Slap-dash applications
Dated look and feel
Saluki
- updated glib now shows mounted drives in file open/save dialogs
- gtk returned to 2.24.8 - possible fix for gseal errors included in devx
- vattery
- acpid - supend, hibernate, powersaving modes,etc
- sven - most hotkeys should work
- annoying welcomefirstboot message moved to the tray
- gxmessage replaces xmessage
- sfs-on-the-fly
- grandr
Possible pcmanfm2 file manager (Rox still available)
Modular build system. Tutorial on how anyone can create their own add-on
Proposed:
Jemimah choice apps
Tman alternative lighter version
Window manager will be Metacity, (which is what Gnome uses)
Taskbar will be Xfce panel. Ttuuxxx uses this combination in his Classicpup 2.14X and it has the look of Xfce but uses less resources
Right now we are leaning towards Icewm
- Target systems will be modern to semi-modern hardware
- ISO size should be 150MB or smaller
- Based on Racy 5.2.2
- Focus will be user friendliness, innovation and artistic look and feel
- Solid, functional applications
- Modular approach using interchangeable SFS
- Metacity Window manager
- Taskbar will be Xfce panel
- Alternate window manager either Icewm or Jwm
- PCManFM2 file manager
