Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
tinycore_v2.0rc2
roberts:
The posts here are kind of a mixed bag as some are issues with extensions, but this thread has pointed out a bug in the flwm_makemenu script. While unfortunate that it was not caught in the QA cycles, nevertheless, it has appeared.
Supporting relative position of the Program tag was intended but obviously it is not. I have fixed the bug. So now leading spaces are not an issue.
Since flwm uses directories and files instead of a single text file menu, I am currently only supporting a single <menu> level. You can have multple single menu levels in a single extension item. But even that seems counterintuitive i.e., if we had started with flwm such menu items would likely not be constructed in such a manner.

roberts:
It is easier to just right-click on the bar itself to refresh.

I am a new TCL user, having discovered TCL a few weeks ago. In search of a best linux system (I do not touch bloated systems with a six foot pole), fast and light, I thought I found the best one - Slitaz. This was before I discovered TCL. It is the new leader IMHO. I tested on variety of hardware, old and newest. Network detection (key feature) is amazing - even PCMCIA network cards! Neither Slitaz nor Zenwalk can do it!
I have been happily using 2.0 RC1 and thought things can only improve. Alas, RC2 new wm (FLWM) is so plain ugly that I cannot use it! I trust there was a technical reason, some already discussed, but can something be done about these horible esthetics of menus at least? I do not mind the top taskbar gone, but overall look and feel is plain ugly now, and with unconventional windows handling (X in lower left, etc.). Even in the face of some technical advantage, which I do not yet see, the mere ugliness prevents me from using it. I will be stuck with RC1 for a long time, unless this ugliness is temporary and will be fixed before gold release...
