Hallo

Thank you for the attention but I don't know if it is really an excellent reponse because it does not work as easilly as you are saying :roll:

and in older doc's from jwm, is was explained that only binaries compiled for viewing some pictures can show them :idea: ...

it is the reason of my question, see above, the important word is YET :wink:

if you don't meet a binary compiled explicitely to show pictures (jpeg etc library are bound, ..., or, even, not in :x ) you have probably no chance! and as our binaries come all today from external binary depositories, it is well possible that the graphic libraries are not bound :idea:

(hm, I am actually more in DebianDog Jessie 32 or 64... but, as I know, the binaries from ubuntu are exactly the same...)

..just an idea..
is it possible to,
- write some script that, when clicked, selects settings (profile) for JWM-Desk?
Or..
Imagine a theme*.pet that installs JWM/Gtk2/cursor-themes/wallpaper/icons/.. in proper
locations, and then places a (profile) entry in JWM-Desk, or something similar?
Or is it too far off? :roll:

Hi torm,

If I understand correctly, your questions pertain to global theming profiles rather than configuration profiles such as jwmrc-tray and jwmrc-personal.

In fact, a global-theme option (with pre-configured individual themes) is a major feature of zigbert's jwm_config environment (currently available in Slacko-6.3.0).

So, yes it is possible. :)

On the other hand, JWMdesk is primarily for management of configuration profiles and individual settings in the JWM environment.

JWMdesk is not designed for global theming, though support is provided for quick access to existing global themes in the jwm_config environment.

Thanks for your questions!

From clock area size to whatnot..
jwm_config ?
huh, somehow I've overlooked it completely.
..even if there were few traces of pTheme in TahrPup that messed up some notebook widgets with any darker themes around... :?
Will check out Slacko then, to see what it does.
Thanks.

Edit:

Well, not my cup of tea...

I was thinking more of a " click-ok" installer, that does the magic under the hood, no matter if it accepts or ignores the settings provided by the script in the pet or not..
I don't really know what I'm talking about here,
nevermind :D

Hi radky,
Dangnabit, I installed Tahr pup 6.0.5, and am greatly enjoying puppy after a break for a couple of years.
The current JWMDesk manager is 1.3, and does not seem to support adding shortcuts for the mouse buttons.
Zigbert pointed me to this thread, and I find that you have withdrawn JWMDesk-2.1, which I believe supported mouse shortcuts.

Dangnabit, I say again !

Radky,

I'll agree with UncleBaldy here. At least please have it available for us to play with, even if you don't intend to proceed with it further.

I was hoping to use it with my Puppy T290 and thus allow adjustments easier to make, plus save some others from being needed.

JWMdesk is now available in the first post of this thread.

UncleBaldie, welcome back to the Puppy community. :)

Scsijon, the thought of a new T2-crafted Puppy is certainly intriguing. We look forward to your Beta release of Puppy T290.

Now jwm-2.3.6 is released. It can aerosnap window. Maybe jwmdesk could add this feature.
At window height, why i can not set it to 1? So I can make it like i3wm. Because i can move window by shortcut win+arrow using stickyjwm here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 550#910550
Or by alt+drag.
Thank you.

Clicktitle and sloppytitle window focus sounds exciting!

But radky, it seems you have access to info that we ordinary mortals don't have! Do you have a list of translations from the JWM vgit numbers to ordinary release numbers?
Why cannot the title of the vgit JWM contain a standard version number as well?

Hi tallboy,

In a terminal, you can type jwm -v to check the current numerical version of jwm. The value will depend on the type of release, either developmental (vgit) or official (standard).

When launched, JWMDesk checks the current numerical version of jwm (vgit or standard) and constructs the GUI with options supported by that version. The distinction is important since some Pups have vgit versions (such as the venerable vgit-976 of BK's current Quirky) while others have offical releases (such as 2.3.2 in the current Slacko and 2.3.6 in the current Tahrpup).

For the most part, I use the following changelog to determine the developmental (vgit) or standard version that supports a given option or feature of jwm.

Thanks for your comments!

Hi rufwoof !

Very interesting ....... exactly what i always missed in Jwm.
This could raise JWM into another higher Category .
Hope someone will integrate it into Jwm as a new future Improvement/standard .Needs more public relation IMHO.
