This is also to help people customize their copy of PsychOS486 in general. I may also use this document to list what I would like to do for any next releases but have yet to figure out how, not to be confused with bug fixes. DOSEMU ------ The version of DOSEMU that is included with PsychOS486 also includes FreeDOS tools and uses an autoexec.bat file within "~/dosemu/drive_c". FreeBASIC is included with PsychOS486 and has a menu item in the main applications menu for easily compiling .bas files. However, if you are just using DOSEMU and want to also access FBC.EXE from anywhere, you will need to add something like 'PATH=...;c:\freeb~_q.0-d' to the PATH section near the top of the autoexec.bat file; however, do not forget to include the needed CWDSMPI file for running your compiled programs. SCLUB ----- You can add instruments to SCLUB via opening a MOD file with MilkyTracker, not included, and selecting instruments under the instruments section and then clicking "Save" just above them. This will save as an "*.xi" file and can then be imported to SCLUB. I guess the point is the possibility of one day making instrument packs. PsychOS486 as it stands may not have the room, but it could be released as a separate download file. Adding application menu items permanently ----------------------------------------- Sooner or later, you may try to edit the applications menu for JWM. You install a program and the package manager then runs 'fixmenus' or you do so yourself if needing to create your own .desktop file and then notice that your specific applications menu item is now gone. This is because of how the "/etc/xdg/templates/__root_.jwmrc" file is used to keep JWM's applications menu "sane," so to speak. You will have to edit that file if the menu item you want to add in question does not have anything to do with listing applications from the typical "/usr/share/applications" directory. Change mtPaint's default color palette -------------------------------------- You can change mtPaint's default color palette by adding the following line to the "~/.mtpaint" file: defaultPalette = /root/.gimp-2.7/palettes/Deevad-mini.gpl.gpl I would more than likely have the Deevad-mini color palette set as the default since the color choices are great and yes, the two "gpl's" at the end are annoying, but correct and I will hopefully remember to fix if there is another PsychOS486 realse. You can can also find these color palettes symlinked within the "~/Pictures" folder for use with other programs that do not look for hidden files from within their own file picker system.
