I have some problem with wbar under xfce. So I put xfce on my puppy 431 with the older kernel 2.6.25 and after installing xfce 4.6.1 I tried to install wbar. I've updated xintric and nothing is happening. But wbar is starting when I start it in terminal like wbar --above-desk. I tried also to put a command line to startup folder, but nothing is working Sad

hihihi:)

Thank you CatDude again Smile

I don't know why but I have some really strange problem with my puppy. By the way this problem with gimp is still there. so I gave up and installed the package version of gimp 2.4.0rc3- and this one works fine:)

I've also got wbar to work Smile

I think usually beginner problems Smile

But thanks a lot for the support- Puppy has the best community- and Puppy really rocks Smile

By the way have an other problem with xfce- somehow I'm missing some of my menu icons- is it possible to editing t somehow?

First things first - thanks to everyone who had contributed to this long running thread. I've got wbar running quite nicely and that's a testament to your community spirit.

Of course it is my nature to never quite be satisfied Embarassed

so I'd like to tweak wbar a little bit more. To do that I need some help.

1. I'd like to have a wbar icon that opens up the jwm menu or something similar. So instead of having to use the jwm pane; menu button of right click the desltop, I can press a wbar icon. Any ideas how this could be done?

2. I've got wbar at the top (offset = 0) so I can push the mouse to the top of the screen and still activate wbar icons. But it would be really cool is I could get the icon text to display above the icon rather than below. Anyone reckon this is possible?

3. Perhaps not a wbar issue but I'll ask anyway - Can I change a setting somewhere so that when I maximize a window it does not fill the screen from top to bottom. Specifically I want it not to cover part or all of the wbar icons.

health and happiness to you all

i need wbar that can autohide, so my desktop willbe clean. iwas trying wbar from, but i think its too much memory used for it. i just need a simple wbar.

so i used xfce panel as wbar, its was not complicated and easy to use.
add a launcher is easy

i was download from debian package.
the problem is, i cannot change the backround. if the backround modified with transparent, mybe will be look good

you can make the background transparent in xfce if you go to the panel click on it and set properties as transparent Smile

by the way wbar is really small and does not use much memory at all

Hi i am following this. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/WbarInstall

i am working with 520 and 525 atm

1. in the section edit 2 it gives an example of the file /etc/xdg/templates/_root_jwmrc

but it looks totally different to the default one i have.

where do i put the edit in it.

2 also with the wbar i have used in lighthouse pup it has a wbar icon pointing to wbar config application. is there a way to run this with this version of wbar.
