Some issues with IceKDE installed (anyone know how to fix?):

1. Clock is no longer clickable
2. When I set Network status to show in taskbar, it's invisible (but it is there and clickable, but the processes/cpu-load runs over the clickable space visually)
3. Seamonkey's icon space is still on the task bar but invisible (still clickable)

hello,
i don't think the clock thing is related to IceKDE. IceKDE just overrides TaskBarShowClock to 1 to be sure the clock is displayed, but for it to be clickable you need to look into your personal "preferences" file and set the line
ClockCommand="command_to_run"

i don't know what to tell you about icons and network status in taskbar... i guess i left it unchanged, because i used network and CPU status in JWM in the same way before switching to IceWM. you may want to look at TaskBarCPUSamples= and TaskBarNetSamples= if by any chance the dimensions are not correctly set.

Also, does anyone know how to uninstall ice-kde? It's different than just a theme. It made some other major changes that, even when I choose other themes, it's still controlling/forcing certain things.

that must be the icon theme. you can change it using ROX-filer configuration panel. (right-clic on a file in ROX, "Options", "Types" -> "Themes" and there select another icon set (ROX is the default).

Many thanks for this - it's seriously cool. I have a go with wbar myself.

I have another "Howto ..." request if I might presume on your patience.

After moving the Taskbar to the top it goes over the top of the top row of desktop icons - see screenshot. The rest of the desktop needs moving down by the taskbar depth. How can that be fixed?

Easy. You need Rox controlling the desktop. Right click any desktop icon and choose ROX-Filer>Options>Compatibility and check "Override window wanager wontrol of pinboard and panels" option.

This is as far as I've gone. I used a real Leopard screenshot for guidance, in conjunction with the two images you supplied. The titlebar buttons are active and show the x, + and - when you hover the mouse over them.

I also used Geko's-Leopard Gtk-2 theme to get a more realistic feel, but I'm sure you'll find something even closer to the look you are seeking.

You'll have to modify Wbar or Cairo-dock to suit yourself. I wasn't prepared to get my system looking too Mac-like in case the wind changed and it stayed that way! Razz

I have given you two choices of the menu button in /root/.icewm/themes/Abby-Leopard/taskbar directory.

Hope this is what you were looking for. I'm sure you can make some nice Crystal icons with reflections to make the Wbar effect even more Mac-like.

Cheers

Hi everyone, nice work WhoDo.
Could anyone tell me how to have that exact enviorment in icewm with the
upper bar in the bottom, without the wbar in the bottom and have icons
on my desktop in icewm.
A link to a how to or tutorial would be nice, btw i am using ubuntu (i do not have gnome installed just icewm).
Infinite thanks. Wink

Sorry WhoDo, but that setting is already checked. Is there anything else to look for?

Nope. What happens if you uncheck it and restart Icewm?

Use Puppy Google Search to find instructions on how to unpack the dotpet file attached to the post you reference.

1. Put the Abby-Leopard theme in your $HOME/.icewm/themes directory

2. Download Geko's-Leopard Gtk-2+ theme from gnome-look.org and place that where Ubuntu keeps its Gtk-2 themes

3. Edit your $HOME/.icewm/preferences file in the following line so it looks like this:

Code:

# Task bar at top of the screen
TaskBarAtTop=0 # 0/1

4. Search Google for Mac Leopard wallpaper

When you put that all together you should have the look you want. I can't help you with desktop icons under Ubuntu. You'd need to ask on their forum for that. One of the reasons I don't use Ubuntu is precisely because they deliberately make such things too difficult for ordinary users.

Hope that helps

Well I was used to seeing your old one for so long, It just became natural, I like your new one but the original was very how do you say"Original" lol
well I guess as time goes by, I'll get used to the new one, kind of like a trade mark.
I might have to build a new one for myself whenever I get some time.

It never even occurred to me to try anything else, such is my faith in WhoDo's omniscience.

You will have gathered by now that the simple expedient of changing the setting from on to off was exactly right. So now it's fine. Didn't even need to restart Icewm

Thanks.

Subject description: Based on Apple's Theme for Mac OS 9

Hello Everyone, I'd like to present one of my IceWM themes: Platinum-1

Click here for some waffle about my theming business.

A couple things I'd like to know how to do (for Release Two):
1. How can I remove the annoying border from the start button? I've seen IceWM themes without this border
2. How can I make the taskbar thinner?

Can't answer 2 from memory, but for 1 try editing the theme file and setting look="flat"

If I screwed up and "flat" doesn't work, just look up which one was used in one of the themes that have the smooth flat bar. Pretty sure it was "flat" though.

Yep. The line appears in the default.theme file for that theme.

On the question of task bar "thickness" aka height, choose the following option in either the Preferences or Prefoverride files:

Code:

SmallIconSize=22 #sets toolbar height, too.
