I was updating a few things in a lucid-based derivative, so here's Wbar 2.3.0. It requires imlib2 as a run-time dependency.

August 27 - 2012
I've reuploaded the pets for Lucid. imlib2 is no longer statically compiled, and wbar as been modifed slightly to backup your old .wbar config file if it exists.
Also, I've made versions for Wary...compiled in Solidpup.

imlib2 for Wary
wbar-2.3.0-w5 for Wary

Is it possible to set wbar to automatically use the same icon theme I choose from the icon switcher? I mean, to modify the .pet so that after install it does that out of the box.

Here are the extra background pics, I used for my wbar, in case anyone wants them when compiling wbar themselves.

Laie, the reason wbar is not working is because you did not install the main wbar-2.3.0-s pet. The NLS pets are for locales (different languages) and the DOC pets just contain documentation. The DEV pets are for developers to use the during compiling process.

I am not sure why Clive deleted all his posts. Sad

Maybe he doesn't like me anymore?

Hi Tman

For some reason Wary 5.3 and 5.4 beta1 refuse to launch wbar 2.3.0, but I can use wbar 2.2.2 :

I just installed Wbar 2.3 and now I get this crazy configuration GUI (wbar-config). How can I get rid of it and edit my files the old way? I need to run two instances of Wbar and I can't see how to do it. My script to run two Wbars looks like this:

wbar -config ~/FluxboxMountainCabin.wbar1 -bpress -above-desk -balfa 50 nanim 5.0 -pos bottom -idist 8 -isize 32.0 -zoomf 1.1 &

wbar -config ~/FluxboxMountainCabin.wbar2 -vbar -bpress -above-desk -balfa 60 nanim 5.0 -pos left -idist 8 -isize 32.0 -zoomf 1.1 &

This is how it used to look with a bar on the bottom and a vertical side bar:

Can anyone help with this? Thank you : )

I changed Wbars and used this one: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/wbarinstall (1.3.3.pet patched)

It comes without the configuration GUI which is what I needed. I am able to start my two Wbar "config" files from the terminal using the exact code below but this script won't work. I can't figure it out.
