IceWM is a window manager, so IceWM themes only affect the windows i.e. the taskbar window, titlebar and borders, menu, etc.

The inside areas of the window are controlled by the Gtk-2.0 theme. I included a number of these in EZpup-4.0 and there is a Gtk theme changer on the menu>Xdesktop sub-menu

To change the wallpaper you need to use the background changer/setter from menu>Xdesktop sub-menu.

To change the desktop icons in Dingo you need to use the desktop icon changer in the same location.

Since you have downloaded and installed EZpup you can also change the mouse cursor with the cursor selector application - also located on the Xdesktop sub-menu.

Finally, you can change the ROX-Filer default icon theme by right-clicking any desktop icon, choosing ROX-Filer>Options>Types>Themes ... I think I included Ultimate Gnome as an alternative in EZpup-4.0 ... the others listed in the dialogue would be Xcursor themes for the mouse and won't work using this method.

Hope that helps

I thought I knew where to get it but I can't find it.... anyone have any idea where to get this? I think its called Smooth Emerald Theta. But I can't find it searching for that.

It's called Theta Space and I found it and downloaded it for you (attached). Simply download and click on the file and it will unpack wherever you have put it.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You have made me happier than a mere wallpaper should make a girl, but I have it on my desktop again and yeah! Its perfect.

Thanks for going to the trouble.

If you like "Theta Space" its part of a Fractal collection, Have a look here at maybe 100 different ones including Theta Space

Wallpaper doesn't change auto either. I have all the wallpapers, but I thought the whole thing would change together... but its not a big deal. I just wanted to know if it was possible.
Install EZpup-4.0v5 add-on and you should get a full set of new icons, extra wallpapers and a whole bunch of themes as well.


Hope that helps.
I just installed EZpup-4.0v5 and now I've lost a few things from my taskbar:
1. I can no longer click on the CPU-Load box to see the processes running
2. There's no longer a box showing the internet traffic
3. There's no quick-launch icon on the left for XTerm (Console)

How do I get those features back?

Howdy 6tr6tr!

That "Mac-style" dock bar/icon bar at the top of that screenshot is called "Wbar" and you may obtain a copy of it for your Puppy at this page in the software section here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=19742

It's great and I've installed it to all of my other distros as well! Can't be without it now. ;)

I hope this has helped?

Amicalement/Cheers!

The fractal wallpaper is a form created by 'fractal flames'.
Do a Google for 'Apophysis' and you will find many incredible examples. It might also prove to be an interesting experiment to run the Windows-based Apophysis executable under Wine.

Items 1 & 2 are found in the /root/.icewm/preferences file

Code: Select all

#  Command to run on CPU status
CPUStatusCommand="iu_gps"

Code: Select all

#  Show network status on task bar (Linux only)
TaskBarShowNetStatus=0 # 0/1
You can add a quick-launch icon for your console by editing /root/.icewm/toolbar file. Mine is below as an example - simply copy or move the terminal "prog" command outside the "}" that closes the quicklaunch menu list.

Code: Select all

#Quick Launch Menu
menu "Quick Launch" folder24 {
	prog Rxvt xterm_16x16 rxvt -sl 999
	prog "Rxvt black" xterm_16x16 rxvt -rv +sb -sl 999
	prog "Kill Process" mini-run /usr/local/pprocess/pprocess
#	prog Aterm xterm_16x16 aterm -tr -sl 999
	prog "Reload desktop" run1616 rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
	prog "Puppy Notes" mini-edit puppy-editor /root/my-documents/puppy-notes.txt
	prog "Internet Browser" mozicon32 puppy-browser
	prog Email mini-mail puppy-email
	prog "My RoxApps" run1616 rox /root/my-roxapps
	prog Rox home rox
        prog "edit quick launch" mini-edit leafpad /root/.icewm/toolbar
        prog "edit startup" mini-edit leafpad /root/.icewm/startup
#        prog "edit trayicons" mini-edit leafpad /usr/local/xystray-trayicons/run-xystray
#        prog "edit menu-preferences" mini-edit leafpad /usr/local/jwm2icewm-menu/menu.rc
#        prog "edit weather-app" mini-edit leafpad /etc/wmweather.conf
 }
prog "Shutdown" exit wmpoweroff
prog "Volume" mixer pvolume-mixer.tcl
prog "Screenshot" camera mtpaintsnapshot.sh
#prog "RDP Client" pc-2x remotedesktopclient
Your original "preferences" and "toolbar" files should still be in the /root/.icewm directory as backups. You could simply compare them with the new ones and copy back the differences, too.

Hope that helps

Q for WhoDo,

Whist trying to increase the text size of my taskbar clock (QuanX-Who theme) I came across this forum post
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/IceWM
where it was noted that only when copying Xft fonts into the default theme allowed font changes to be made. Which proved to be true in my case.(nice big clock now)
The change seems to date from 2003. I've looked at other themes and they don't have the font section.
So I'm a bit confused with whats correct. I know it worked in my case. but whats the correct way of setting theme fonts for IceWM in Puppy 4.1

thanks

DC

In order to change themes after installing EZpup, you need to use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit to a command line and then type:

Code: Select all

xwin icewm-session
That will start the IceWM window manager. Go menu>settings>themes to click on your new theme. Then choose menu>Window Manager>Restart IceWM to see the change.

IceWM settings are controlled by the preferences and prefoverride files in /root/.icewm directory (hidden. click on the eye icon in your toolbar to view hidden files).

In EZpup I have included tronkel's basic IceWM Configuration utility - menu>Xdesktop>IceWM Configuration - for some of the simpler settings. The rest involve manual edits to the preferences files as mentioned.

You might also consider a visit to the EZpup Help page of the wiki for more detailed advice.

Hope that helps.
