Hello _MegadetH_
Just edit the file /root/.wbar (it is a hidden file, so click on the eye icon in ROX-Filer)
The file is quite easy to understand,
for each item on the wbar, you have three lines similar to this:

c: = path to programme executable
t: = text displayed beneath the icon

Do you know where I can find other icons-like mac with the same size of the bar?
Hello _MegadetH_
I don't think the size of the icons really matters, (better bigger than smaller i think)
as these are controlled by your wbar startup command.
Take a look in /root/.xinitrc
you should find a line near the bottom that looks similar to this:
In the attached image you will see that the icons all look a similar size,
when in fact, the lefthand one (the kennel) is 70x75 pixels
the seamonkey one in the middle is 603x610 pixels (done purely to show you )
all the others are 128x128 pixels

Thanks again Catdude!
Finally I understood how to edit wbar I spent a whole afternoon finding extra icons and set them
This is my new bar. The bad thing is there isn't the reflex shadow under extra puppy icons like openoffice ones. I'm trying to edit them with mtPaint to make a shadow, but no success.

Thanks Catdude! You're very kind! Icons works perfect as you can see in the picture.
I tried to make one by myself using Ms Paint from the laptop because I'm not good with mtPaint. The icon I made is the third on right side it it represent a gear. It is not as good as yours Catdude.
Do you apply any effect to the reflex part?

Create a new layer, flip it vertically, move it down, add layer mask etc etc
If you would like me to do the laptop icon, attach it.

You're very kind, but I don't want to bother you more with editing. I'm learning using mtPaint. I've found a guide online to make layers with it. I made a better icon now. Not perfect but it is better then the first I've done You gave me the input to learn to make better icons.CatDude wrote:You're welcome mate._MegadetH_ wrote:Thanks Catdude! You're very kind!

Personally i think it is the only way to learn, just keep on playing and things become a little easier.

so... I was cutting down the macgic-j.pet and got kind of carried away because I couldn't get online and ended up with a 975kb version of icewm and wbar (removed blinky freemem, icewmconfig, murga_lua)
if you already have macpup or macgic installed this is pointless, but if you want to get a slimmer version instead - this one is for you bugman
anyhow its on this thread if anyone would like to try it out
