There's an official IceWM? Well I'll be danged. Need to pay more attention. And Mplayer too? Huh.

Quite right - window manager .pets should pop up a window telling you what to do.
May be worth being considerate to people who want to use the package in Unleashed, and craft the pinstall.sh script so that it only brings up windows and stuff if it's being installed as a package, not during Unleashed.

Easy enough to do. If it's being installed as a package, pwd will return'/' because PETget runs them at /. If it's being run from Unleashed, it will return the path to puppy-unleashed/rootfs-complete/.

So do something like this:
Code:
if [ "$(pwd)" = "/" ]; then
  Xdialog --msgbox "Yo.  Go do stuff." 0 0
fi



As for batteries, JWM does it fine. I don't know where exactly the decision to show or not show it happens - never wondered about it before. If the applet itself doesn't handle that, then you could just look in /proc/acpi/battery/. If it's empty, then either there is no battery, the battery module isn't loaded (then there would be no /proc/acpi/battery directory either), or the battery doesn't use acpi.

I checked, /root/.jwmrc-tray. Seems to work fine for me either on laptop with battery or desktop. I will edit my /root/.icewm/preferences file on my desky just to see if it works as it should. Back in a sec...
done, rebooted desktop, no battery meter, just as in JWM. Wink

the battery meter is launched by jwm swallowing the script asapmshell.
Code:
<Swallow name="asapm">
    asapmshell -u 4
</Swallow>

This script contains
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#v3.99 bugfix by kirk
if [ -a /proc/apm ]; then
 if [ "$(cat /proc/apm | cut -d % -f 1 | awk '{print $(NF)}')" -lt "0" ] ; then
  exit
 fi
fi

#refinement by jeffrey...
# Skip loading apm for PC with no /proc/apm or if field 7 (battery percentage) is negative, eg
#    1.16ac 1.2 0x03 0x01 0xff 0x80 -1% -1 ?
#awk -F '[ %]+' '$7<0 {exit 1}' /proc/apm 2>/dev/null || exit

exec asapm $@

icewm can show batteries and network status by itself
look at the preferences file
the line with this words
(for battery)
show apm status

as for asapm it has -withdrawn option to tray isertion( for example, works good with stalonetray)

@ HairyWill, What kind of code (language? 'scuse my ignorance!) is this in .jwmrc-tray? I know a little html and it looks similar.

@ ttuuxxx, I have found to get the tray working exactly as I want on my lappy I must make sure this line =1 and uncommented,
Code:
#  Show network status on task bar (Linux only)
TaskBarShowNetStatus=1 # 0/1

and these lines look like this.
Code:
#  Show APM/ACPI/Battery/Power status monitor on task bar
 TaskBarShowAPMStatus=1 # 0/1

#  Show APM status on task bar in time-format
 TaskBarShowAPMTime=0 # 0/1


The 'time-format' line I don't like, I prefer a percentage. However it is easy enough changed.

The other thing is, to ensure it all starts at bootup, I created a symlink in /root/Startup/ to ~/icewm/startup Confused

jwm configuration files are written an xml like format

I'm not sure why you are mixing up icewm and jwm. They are both window managers and you only use one at a time.

Not mixing things up at all. I was earlier making a comparison. Thanks for your reply. When you say xml 'like', is there several formats like xml and html?
