Mochi, what would it take to set that "mymenu" file up as a separate menu with its own button and click activation? can i have a task bar button inserted into .jwmrc-tray from this file in the same way? how about setting up which mouse click/click combo activates it? if that is all possible through the new file, can you show me how to set it up? thanks in advance.MochiMoppel wrote: [...] you could put the whole "original menu" into a separate file. Name the file e.g. mymenu and save it wherever you like, even outside of Puppy. This separate file should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<JWM>
<Menu label="original menu" icon="" height="16">
[the entire original menu with many of my own menus buried within the extant categories, plus what ever menus and submenus i added outside it, under it, within it, etc]
</Menu>
</JWM>
In your _root_.jwmrc replace the whole <Menu label="original menu" icon="" height="16"> ...</menu> section with
<Include>path/to/mymenu</Include>
You'll never have to touch _root_.jwmrc again. From now on you can make all your changes in mymenu, refresh this menu with a simple jwm -reload command and never have to worry about _root_.jwmrc destroying your custom menu in .jwmrc.
...i suppose making my custom menu root:3 and the original menu something else would achieve what i'm doing in a better way...
