LXQT and JWM

[oui]

I actually don't use Puppy as often as in the past any more. I simulate the Puppy environment for me in both full install of Debian9RC and full install of Lubuntu minimal 17.04.

The reason is that I prefer to return to the version (64 bit) being the real version of my computer and I don't find enough actual Puppy's for that with all that what I install in full Debian or full Ubuntu...

The environment looks like a Puppy excepted no icon on the desktop as icons in the tray are enough for me.

I did install in both LXQT because of the best optic.

Now it is so that LXQT doesn't work alone.

In Ubuntu, LXQT installs openbox as it's base.

In Debian, the package LXQT installs lfwm as it's base.

You can see that in /home/[user]/.config/lxqt/session.conf

in the first section ( [General])

at the line

window_manager=

Other bases (=window managers) are allowed so

you can overwrite with

Code: Select all

window_manager=jwm

(IMPORTANT: don't forget to install it !)


My actual ~/.jwmrc:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<JWM>
    <!-- Tray at the high left corner. -->

        <Tray x="0" y="-1" height="25" autohide="top" valign="top">
        <TrayButton label="JWM">root:1</TrayButton>
        <TrayButton popup="run" icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/grun.xpm">exec:grun</TrayButton>
        <TrayButton popup="kompoZer" icon="/opt/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/editorWindow.png">exec:seamonkey -edit</TrayButton>        </Tray>
    <StartupCommand>
        <!-- xli -onroot -fillscreen /home/f/.images/default.jpeg &
        setxkbmap us intl
        skype-->
        cd ~/
        rm -rf ~/.mozilla
        cp -a ~/my/.mysettings/.mozilla ~/
    </StartupCommand>
</JWM>

The mini-tray at the left bottom start a short time after start and become hidden. You can show it on demand with the mouse at it's place on the desktop, and accede so at the other icones.

The StartupCommand of JWM is very usefull and works like in Puppy.

I use, of course, rox.

As very good Qt-editor, I did test «tea» as very powerfull and clear editor.

Qupzilla would probably be an interesting browser but

ONLY IF

of version 2.1 or higher (Debian/Ubuntu are staying on version 1.8 , oh, terror).

plus the usual Puppy app's (mTpaint, MHwaveEdit, etc. etc.)

I am using now the background picture from LXQT

But the background picture from JWM can also appear before it if include in the .jwmrc!

If you know how to make the seconde one (the picture of LXQT) transparent (I don't know how to do that but it is certainly possible), you can perhaps create funny effects especially if you would use animated pictures on both

in Debian / Ubuntu, I use SDDM to enter without login like in Puppy.

My /etc/sddm.conf :

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=lxqt.desktop
User=[your user name]

[General]
AutoRelogin=true
AutoUser=f
CursorTheme=
HaltCommand=/usr

Bookmarked. LXQt is the future desktop for our French puppies. I will put one Franc (suisse) on it.
