hi greengeek,

for tahrpup i got the latest from github https://github.com/joewing/jwm (this has borders on the menu and taskbar)

there wasn't any build scripts in the downloaded tar.gz so i also got the snapshot from here http://www.joewing.net/projects/jwm/ (this has no borders but has the build scripts)

and combined them using the build scripts from the snapshot to build the latest from github

Hi,

Using Precise 5.6 I have just updated "my" jwm version from 976 to 1002 (via a pet made with amigo's src2pkg).

For the first time on a jwm version update some window colours have changed. So, hardly a disaster, but I wonder if this has happened to any other Forum member(s)?

My regards

I have the same results whether I first delete my jwm v 976 pet or if I install the update on top of v 976.

the jwm in tahrpup is version 976 and has a few things the newer version doesn't such as separators in the menu

Hi again,

I have now upgraded to jwm v. 1011 and my unexpected changes of colour persist (as noted two posts above).

Hi greengeek,

Thank you for your interest and for your suggested test.

I am now posting from a just-made pristine Precise 5.6 and the unexpected colour changes are as before.

So that seems to suggest that Joe needs to make a correction.

My regards

EDIT:

Joe kindly sent me a PM advising he has made some improvements
http://joewing.net/projects/jwm/release-2.3.shtml
including jwm colour configuration.

Hi All, I make a theme wdz10.pet. I want a neat border but still good when I resize the window by click on the border. I set the width of windowstyle=1 in my jwmrc theme. But it's hard to resize the border. Something like cinnamon can do this, or if you know windows 10, there is small border but still easy to resize te window. Anyone here now how to solve this? I'm sorry about my very bad english. I hope you got my point.

Hi greengeek et al,

This link is depicted in the screen shot
http://joewing.net/projects/jwm/config.shtml
and the arrow points to the link previously given.

Joe told me
configuration change is the primary reason I decided to label the next version "2.3.0" instead of "2.2.3".

The current changes up to Joe's 1034.xz (on the way to v 2.3.0) relate to the configuration of tray and window colours and also how trays are shown/hidden.

At any time to see which (if any) version of jwm is installed.
In a console/terminal type
jwm -v

If you have installed 1034 (or even 1004) - your colour schemes may (probably will) have changed. So you could try:
(1) renaming /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme to say, old-jwmrc-theme
(2) downloading the file below and renaming it by deleting the final three (.gz) characters
(3) then copy or move the renamed file to /root/.jwm/ to (temporarily) replace the old file.
(4) Restart X
--------------
Upon inspection of the downloaded file: the inactive tags have now been removed altogether and the active tag display is amended. My Menu of choice is basically yellow text on a black background which changes to red text on a black background when hovering. My choices are easily editable and saved.

I'll be interested in any report, and whilst of no apparent hindrance if the changes are saved /tmp/xerrs.log may show some extra lines re jwm.

Hi All,
Some day ago, I look at cinnamon and windows 10. The window can sticky to half of screen in left, top, bottom, or right side.
I use Ctrl + Alt + Arrow to control window.
Oh ya, I also use wmctrl to do all of that.
Feel free to edit and improve this script.
After installing this pet, restart x server.
Thanks in advance.
