Excellent theme
Posted: Wed 14 Nov 2007, 23:47
There are several other older JWM themes floating around here on the forum. I had made a few dotpups for themes and put them here. I'm not sure if these will work with the current puppy, but maybe they could be modified into the current .pet format.

Rhino & Whodo, thanks for sharing the links, there are some excellent themes on there that blow the current themes in puppy out of the water. Whodo excellent artwork.

I don't think I understand the gradient post earlier in this thread. There's no gradient on the Menu, just the Menu button and the blue selection. Does JWM support a gradient on the menu itself?

jwm 2.01 is required for gradient support
if you menu does not have gradients then that part of the theme may be missing

I have Puppy 3.01. Which JWM is included?cb88 wrote:jwm 2.01 is required for gradient support

I unpacked the Vista theme from the pet file and copied it to the themes directory. It looks just like the screenshot posted earlier, which has no gradient on the menu.

Maybe it's just my imagination but on Tom's screenshot it looks like both the active and inactive taskbar buttons (is that what you call the things you click on to open a minimized button) have gradients. How would you go about setting the gradient for this?

For gradients in taskbar buttons edit the following bold, italian parts in .jwmrc
<TaskListStyle>
<Font>DejaVu Sans 12:bold</Font>
<ActiveForeground>black</ActiveForeground>
<ActiveBackground>orange:yellow</ActiveBackground>
<Foreground>gray60</Foreground>
<Background>gray50:black</Background>
</TaskListStyle>
menu doesn't have gradients
hope this helps

you need to set the background of your desktop to black and the writing under icons to green. This is done in the Rox filer options menu.Posted: Tue 20 Nov 2007, 03:42

</JWM>Start instead of menu
Posted: Fri 23 Nov 2007, 07:47
Something I have noticed with users is that the word "menu" disorientates them, when they are expecting the word "start"? Would someone do a theme with this change and report back how it is done?

Sure. Edit /root/.jwmrc-tray at the top where the word "Menu" appears.ecomoney wrote:Something I have noticed with users is that the word "menu" disorientates them, when they are expecting the word "start"? Would someone do a theme with this change and report back how it is done?
Code: Select all
<Tray autohide="false" insert="right" x="0" y="-1" border="0" height="26" >
<!-- Additional TrayButton attribute: label -->
<TrayButton label="Menu" icon="vincent-logo16.xpm">root:3</TrayButton>Hope that helps.

why are we worrying about the menu button when other stuff is actally broke... currently the olny thing I hate about my setup is the green "start" button.... didn't someone mention doing a new jwm config wizard if so add option to change the button name?
IMO "Menu" is about as logical as it gets because that is what it is ... "Start" doesn't really make sence what exactly is it that we are starting? I think M$ chose "Start" because... we'll it is hard to explain.... why copy a windows convention if the current one makes as much or better sence?
If the word "Menu" disorients people we should put a warning that they should not drink alcohol or smoke weed while using puppy...DUH! LOL
I just find it hard to believe that anybody has been "disoriented" by "Menu" how many experiences have you had with this ecomoney?
If people really are that "disorientable" (i'm not inclined to think so) they won't be able to figure out any computer stuff anyway Linux Mac or M$ ....or BSD or whatever Cameras use "Menu" just like practicaly all cosumer devices... are they more common than computers these days? that would make "Menu" a better standard (assuming most of them use it)...
PS. the start button wierds me out.....
