(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

It's not gonna be me who's gonna make it panzerpuppy Maybe try the blue theme from my previous post? Never liked the very shiny blue windows theme, it's just not comfortable to look at! I reworked DeepThought theme a bit, this is my new version:

Ok This is for testers, I'm not sure sure how well this works, I hacked the JWM source code and came up with this new menu, It doesn't use icons in the menu only, but it does look slick. Everything else is the same, basically if you install this pet, it will replace your current JWM. With this verson, then you'll have to restart X server to see the changes.

Ps just added the sources below.

i have a request of a theme for small screen ( netbooks e.g.)
withm smaller fonts( 9) and window borders (7 or 5 pixels)

Patriot,
Very Nice...Love the transparency and rounded borders..
I especially like what it does for the tray....


@1 point..The pet put the binary in /usr/X11R7/bin....
I moved it to /usr/local/bin and it worked fine...
Also, If you use translucency, don`t use "move=opaque" ...
Drags my 1.8 g 768mb machine to a crawl when I move them..
Looks really cool though...
Resize=opaque seems OK ....

Now, how do we get rounded corners on the menu??
LOL, you started something here....

@magerlab,
Any particular color scheme??

for me size matters more
maybe it's possible to have something like prelude theme for xfwm4
http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.p ... tent=69300
although it's extreme thin
and fonts in menu and panel ...
as for colors ; light blue or black to match black icons

how do i change jwm menu button in 4.2?
I've found /root/.jwm/start-button.png, renamed it then linked mine to start-button.png and restarted x but it didn't change?
Or I have to reboot the whole system?

I asked that on the icon thread, too, dejan555...great minds think alike and all that...hopefully one of the puppy nobility knows the answer to that one...

Let's hope so...

to change that you need to edit 2 locations

/root/.jwmrc-tray
<TrayButton icon="/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/start-button.png">root:3</TrayButton>

/root/.jwmrc
<RootMenu label="Menu" labeled="false" height="24" onroot="3">

if you don't want it to say 'Menu' and you just want to display a image delete label="Menu"
so it looks like this

<RootMenu labeled="false" height="24" onroot="3">

Hope that helps

Yep, that worked thanks!
Another one, I know it's kinda offtopic but if anyone would know how to set amsn to show tray icon so it can be minimized in jwm?

I actually think thats part of the preferences of Amsn, about min the programs on exit. Have a look. and maybe look for /root/.amsn config file and look inside that.

Yes, I know but if you set it to minimize to tray it disapears, it's still running but no tray icon to restore it like for xchat and skype and opera

Thanks, ttuuxxx...worked great.

This theme is inspired by the area042 icons that I posted on the icon themes thread here.

Full screenshots are on the My Puppy is Better Looking than yours thread here.

Sort of a grey sunrise, hippie love festival. Enjoy!

This theme came about to compliment the Delta icon theme on the Icon Themes exchange thread...

Enjoy!

Oh man Steve, that's really nice desktop. Makes me really want to use JWM, but I'm too addicted to Icewm to change.

thanks, battleshooter. yeah, I used icewm and still periodically do...but I think jwm is a little more stable and I love being able to go, oh, let me change this color or this, boom: new theme...

looks nice, gonna try this, I'm also trying to put together one greenie icon theme, this will go along with that.

Awesome! and thanks..

Hey steve in 4.2 I supplied a wack of 24x24 icons for the icewm menus which look great compared to the older ones, but JWM is stuck on 16x16 for the sub menus, I asked around and some said just change a line etc, nothing worked yet, If you found out how man that would be really good for JWM. It could be one ofl those JWM configs, I ask Joe himself and he told me to patch something in the sources but he wasn't direct enough. etc. Thats how I came across building that other JWM without icons on the previous page, lol trying to do it. A patch would be great any ideas?
