Poorman's XFCE

[JB4x4]

For those of you who don't have enough cpu or don't want XFCE "bloat", but still like the "look" of XFCE -- This is for you...

Save the code below to the file /root/.jwmrc-tray (you may want to back up the old one first) and restart JWM.

Code: Select all

<!-- Settings to give JWM an XFCE like appearance -->
<JWM>
  <Tray  x="0" y="0" height="30">
     <TrayButton popup="Show desktop" icon="showdesk16.xpm">showdesktop</TrayButton>
     <Pager/>
     <TaskList/>
     <Dock/>
  </Tray>

  <Tray  x="0" y="-1" height="36" halign="center">
    <TrayButton label="Menu" icon="mini-dog.xpm">root:3</TrayButton>

I like Puppy with JWM, and that is really fine!

Thanks

Thanks for the code. It’s got me playing around with the JWM files. It’s good to see how configurable it is. The new JWM version also supports colour gradients for things like the window and menu bars so I reckon there is plenty of mileage left in JWM. Pleasing to the eye with no bloat, very Puppy.
