Must be a portion of their forums that requires a subscription, though I can't think why except for creating an elitist feeling 
I didn't say anything more of interest though, posted the same graphic and there were a couple of other graphics posted by others, showing similar stuff.

Thx. Is that subscription something you have to pay for? |

Is there a way to refresh gtk button bars? In some cases they stop working once I have click on one button. Also, is there a way to launch a jwm tray form a jwm tray, or a menu entry? I have puppy 3.01 and changed richard.a's scripts from 'gtkdialog' to 'gtkdialog3'. _________________ Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at. [Walt Kelly] |

Sorry to not have seen this before. No cost to the subscription. I think I may have saved it online somewhere... let me know if you'd like me to post the saved url.
I've noticed this also. Investigating, I've found what I think causes it, but not how to fix it. It doesn't seem to happen if you click on a link that doesn't work - like starting a non-existent application. Or one that that is working properly. It seems to happen when you click on a link that fails because the appllication did not start properly, or is broken in other ways. Most times the solution is to close the application if you can. Often using the kill facility will still leave the bar gasping for breath, so you will need to kill the bar (using the menu from the left-hand button common to all windows) and reopen it 
Thanks, that's good to know

OK. thanks to Richard.a and HairyWill. I like the idea of making buttonbars from things that are already in Puppy. _________________ Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at. [Walt Kelly] |

Keep gtk buttonbar active. End each action command with an ampersand. Example: <action>exec beep-media-player &</action> From gtkdialog2.txt: Commands usually can be run in the background by writing a `&' as last character, so the subshell will not wait the program to complete. This works on the three examples I have tried so far. _________________ Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at. [Walt Kelly] |

I tried this last night, but with no luck. This is what I did:
2) created jwmrc-tray2 based on jwmrc-tray. Added buttons with the same syntax as used in jwmrc-tray. 3) restart jwm. 4) I don't see my extra tray... However, there are some uncertainties here. I'd like to have tray 2 at the top center of the screen, with autohide on. Using halign=center and valign=top seems fairly obvious, but then there's the x and y coordinates? I've looked at JWM's homepage, but it doesn't go into detail. Does anyone know what I need to add? thanks, Magnus UPDATE: I meant to add - searching for all the "obvious" terms didn't bring up anything useful in the forum or the wiki. However, I was browsing the now huge JWM theme repository, and just happened to come across something that looks like it's what I need:
So, unless anyone knows differently, I'll try that! It looks like I don't need to change the x,y coordinates between the top & bottom trays. |

Ummmm I finally got around to trying it with 4.12 and while it allows bars to launch, it replaces the name of every bar with "gtkdialog". Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
