JWM and ROX auto-resize |
|
When ROX-Filer auto-resizes a window, the window can appear below the bottom taskbar. This is recent, sometime after v777.

I was about to upload jwm v831 with a warning on permissions (a problem I found for puppy people) as I know a number of puppians are awaiting it when I found that joe has just updated to version 835. I will build and test and upload if ok tonight.

Test Version 835 |
|
Test Version 835 is now loaded, I know there are a number awaiting it for fixes. Sorry, but I had a problem with my builder and had to eventually reinstall it to fix the problem.
As I say in my page 1 post, many languages are still wanted to add to joe's default JWM set, if you can help please consider doing it.

v835 will become the release version when I have time to rebuild/repackage this coming week. For those already running the test version your ok as is, the changes only relate to major steps and platforms.

just a little fyi:
It seems that joe has only one 'issue' left before JWM 2.2's milestone, and a release happens!
The issue is:
Quote: | I've noticed a curious behavior when using the "show desktop" button on multiple desktops, windows are sometimes moved from one desktop to another.
Steps to reproduce, using default jwmrc:
Start jwm (we are on desktop "1")
Click the root menu and choose "terminal" (xterm opens)
Click the pager to switch to desktop "2"
Click the root menu and choose "terminal" (xterm opens)
Click the "show desktop" button (xterm is now minimized)
Click the pager to switch back to desktop "1"
Click the "show desktop" button
The xterm window that was on desktop #2 is now on desktop #1.

There is a patch to fix this awaiting his return, inclusion and testing, as he is away for a week or two at present.
That is unless some of you have not mentioned any stopper problems for me to put into his system!

...before JWM 2.2's milestone |
|
The Rox resize issue is fixed in 827 but back in 835.
I don't know if Joe should bother with this right before the milestone as it's so specific, but there is a focus issue after closing SoftMaker Office. To reproduce, open TextMaker, type something, and close the window. When prompted to save the document, click "no". Keybindings will not work until a new window is opened.
*edit* I've been running Precise-pup 5.7 for a few days now, and there is a similar focus problem with Opera, right-click --> close in the taskbar will disable keybindings.

The icons are cramped up - too close to each other (see attached image above).
Is there a way to add some space between them, or set them apart horizontally?
Here is my jwmrc-tray - anyone knows which line is doing that?
Code: | <JWM>
<Tray autohide="true" insert="right" x="0" y="-1" border="1" height="20" >
<!-- Additional TrayButton attribute: label -->
<TrayButton label="Menu">root:3</TrayButton>
<!-- Additional Pager attributes; width, height -->
<Pager/>
<!-- Additional TaskList attribute: maxwidth -->
<TaskList/>
<Dock/>
<!-- Additional Swallow attribute: height -->
<!-- <Swallow name="blinky">
blinkydelayed -bg "#DCDAD5"
</Swallow> -->
<!-- <Swallow name="xtmix-launcher">
xtmix -launch
</Swallow> -->
<!-- <Swallow name="asapm">
asapmshell -u 4
</Swallow> -->
<Clock format="%H:%M">minixcal</Clock>
</Tray>
</JWM> |
edit... looks like "insert="right" x="0" y="-1" border="1" should do that ... ?

I'm not getting that anikin, mine are spaced ok, If L18l's reply doesn't help, what fontsize and buttonsize are you using?
I've a new jwm to build, but that's tonight's task.

Font size is 10, the same as in menu items, button size unchanged, haven't touched it.
My question was (and still is) about setting apart the icons. L18L says that I should change the tray height. If you guys find that helpful, then I don't get it either. I'm not sure that yours, or anyone's icons in the tray are well spaced. Have a look at L18L's icons above and you will see that speaker and network icons are begging for space between them. Remove the left and right icons from the tray, as I have done, add an icon of your choice (see my pic) and they will move even closer to each other. On a 10' display as in my netbook this is a real issue. I'm aiming at volume control and get network setup instead.

If you want space between TrayButton icons, you can use the "Spacer" tray component. For example:
Code: |
<TrayButton ... ></TrayButton>
<Spacer width="5"/>
<TrayButton ... >...</TrayButton>
|
I just realized that this wasn't documented online, but it is now.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to put more space between items in a Dock component.

Hi Joe,
thank you for the explanation. Compared to the overall value of JWM, the issue isn't really that big. Not unmanageable, at least. Here's something else I'd like to share - a tiny wrinkle, or annoyance perhaps. When something is minimized to the tray, say browser, urxvt, geany and you move the mouse pointer near the tray, a small yellow popup comes up. And most of the time it stays there, even when the pointer is moved elsewhere. It becomes sort of sticky, a bit obtrusive. You need to place the pointer to the lower left or right corner to make it disappear. What I'm thinking is not how to solve this, but rather why this poupup is there in the first place. What does it show, that's not already evident when one looks at the minimized tray? Duplicates the names of the minimized items? Just a thought.
Thank you for your hard work. You have created something outstanding. In this noobs mind JWM is ingrained as a symbol of Linux. If I ever chose another distro in addition to Puppy, it will need to be able to run JWM.

Hi anikin,
I have set my minimised apps with a fixed width of 25 pixels so only the app icon shows in my tray and there is no duplication.
Also, if you don't intend to reload an app, why hover over its tray icon and if you do want to reload it just click then move your cursor..
With the latest JWM version you can right click on the minimise button to shade an app and right click there again to unshade.
My regards
