Thanks Tom I've finished my (quite shocking) theme. I'll go figure out how to make dotpups now!

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.

Start instead of menu

#36 Post by ecomoney »

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.

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>
Just replace it with whatever you choose. I usually add spaces either side, too, to give some room to the icon that is mentioned.

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.....

Ok I started messing around with one of the ones posted here, By the time I was finished it looked nothing like the original one which is good :) But unfortunately when I was finished I did the "fixmenus" thing and it reverted back to the original, luckily I was smart enough to save a backup version :) So here's my Question:
Q:How Can I make my theme default so it never reverts back to the original? Probably something easy. I'll include a picture of it :) Tell me what you thing, It will more then likely be the next release of "Fire Hydrant JWM edition":)

Ps the 2 "FIRE HYDRANT" menu items will be removed , that was just a testing thing i was doing.

The quicks way of getting all those icons would be ripping them out of one one of my fire hydrant distros, probably the jwm version i think the last one was 3.01c from www.ttuuxxx.com the JWM theme is new and not on that one, as for the rox theme, that is part of MU's/WhoDo joint venture thing, MU made the theme selector and WhoDo made a package with a lot of stuff in it:) here's a link
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 169#166169
but i will be posting a theme which i have in my head.:)

The EZgtk-themes which changes rox, I found I needed 2 other small packages to get it running on JWM. They were getdir & gtklist from
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Desktop-Tools ... mechooser/
Once Installed it works like a charm,
Also I Might release a pet package when finished with just about everything installed :)

I've just uploaded a revised EZgtk-themes.pet to our mirrors. It now includes getdir and Gtklist and will install them if they aren't already there.

Hope that helps.
