JWM Corrupt Config

#1 Post by UberNoob »

Just tried changing some JWM settings (specifically tray management) and got a
NEW CONFIG CORRUPT. KEEPING ORIGINAL.
All other JWM Config Manager settings work appropriately.
I'm running 4.3.1 Full on a Dell Inspiron B130 and have no idea how I did this though a similar problem is mentioned here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... bf14536f19
Is there a way to manually replace or repair my JWM config file?

followed by a fixmenus

jwm -p #tells you where it goes wrong

<!-- Additional TrayButton attribute: label -->
<TrayButton label="Start Menu" icon="mini-dog.xpm">root:3</TrayButton>

<!-- <TrayButton popup="Run commandline" icon="gexec.xpm">exec:gexec</TrayButton> -->
<TrayButton popup="Show Desktop" icon="mini-desktop.xpm">showdesktop</TrayButton>
<TrayButton popup="Free space in drives" icon="mini-hdisk.xpm">exec:partview</TrayButton>

<!-- Additional Pager attributes; width, height -->
<Pager/>

<!-- Additional TaskList attribute: maxwidth -->
<TaskList/>

<Dock/>

<!-- Additional Swallow attribute: height -->

<Swallow name="blinky">
blinkydelayed -bg "#DCDAD5"
</Swallow>

<Swallow name="asapm">
asapmshell -u 4
</Swallow>

<Swallow name="freememapplet" width="34">
freememappletshell
</Swallow>

<Swallow name="xload" width="32">
xload -nolabel -bg "#888888" -fg red -hl white
</Swallow>

<Clock>minixcal</Clock>
</Tray>
</JWM>
try copied this to your /root/.jwmrc-tray

to make it autohide, change false with true

<Tray autohide="false" insert="right" x="0" y="-1" border="1" height="28" >

@pri & technosaurus
Thanks for the ideas. Neither one helped with my odd problem HOWEVER in the spirit of making lemonade with those lemons I spent some time devouring the JWM docs I could find online and discovered that directly manipulating the .jwmrc-tray file was easy enough and gave me additional options left out of the GUI! Guess I liked my problem more than the original state!

BTW, all I got out of "jwm -p" was a pair of tag errors in jwmrc-theme

Thanks again for your effort!
Cheers.

A new version of "/usr/local/jwmconfig2/taskbarConfig".
It just changes autohide="false" to autohide="true" (or autohide="true" to autohide="false") and a JWM restart.

Often this is caused by a <corner> tag in the theme file. <corner> tags are no longer supported. Go to /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme and open it as text. (right click, select 'open as text'
Look for any mention of 'corners' Comment it out so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

    <Inactive>
    <Opacity>.8</Opacity>
       <Text>#000000</Text>
       <Title>#ebe4e4:#c0bebe</Title>         
<!--       <Corner>#ebe4e4</Corner> -->
       <Outline>#ebe4e4</Outline>
    </Inactive>
</WindowStyle>
Comment out each instance you find. Please report back if this is the case as there is another step to complete.

The 'Application launch buttons in tray' of JWM configuration did not work for a long time.
The Japanese Forum member, himajin and shinobar, fixed the code.
