I have tried changing this:
<Desktops count="2"/>
but it stays at four. This is in Slacko but I'm sure it worked in Lupu.
Also, is there a keyboard shortcut to swap desktops?
How do I make fewer than 4 virtual desktops?
I don't know how it's done in later versions of Puppy, but under my 4.3.1 setup...
Menu > Desktop > JWM configuration
The JWM Configuration Manager should pop up. Make sure you're on the JWM tab, then click on the button next to "Tray management".
Another window should pop up with the "Tray Configuration Options". Click on the button next to "Virtual Desktops". Another dialog should appear that lets you specify the number of desktops you want (anywhere from one desktop to eight). Click all of the OK buttons to save.
I don't normally use the virtual desktops, but if I remember correctly, it's Alt+(the number of the desktop you want to switch to), to switch between them using the keyboard.

Yes I've done that, and I've tried the tray management option. Neither one works in the version of Slacko I'm using. It does work in the earlier Lupu version and other Puppies I have tried.scabz wrote:how i do it is manually in jwm
go to /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal and open with text editor, then edit line 6 to your liking.

Just in case it is not jwm but openbox that you are using...
