Iconmenu (Puppy-Menu as Wharf)

#1 Post by MU »

Image

The "wharf" is an iconbar from the Afterstep-Desktop.

This is a clone based on imlib2, configured to display the entries from Puppys JWM-menu.

Install, and run it from the menu or by clicking "run-iconmenu" in Rox.
The first start takes some seconds, as it converts some icons.

Personal setup:
To change the backgrond-images and the Startbutton, replace
/root/.iconmenu/icons/background.jpg
/root/.iconmenu/icons/imenu.jpg
with own pictures.
I already added 2 darker ones.

To configure the size and position, edit
/root/.iconmenu/menu-template

Note if you set the last parameter there to "1", the Startbutton will autohide, there just remains a small "line" visible.
If you move the mouse on the line, the buttons apears.

To reload the menu (for example when you installed a new Dotpup), rightclick the startbutton.

Download (60 kb):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools/iconmenu.pup

Requires PuppyBasic and imlib2 (many people already installed imlib2, and PuppyBasic is part of Puppy since 1.0.6)
Imlib2: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/download.php?id=840

There also is a additional version where you may add own commands:

The quality of the Icons was not good, very blurred.
I corrected that now, also in the "personal Iconmenu".
