JWM Themes Exchange

[ttuuxxx]

as jwm goes that theme is a 100% keeper, Excellent stuff
I hope Barry kills that citrus theme and replaces it with yours:) Or if he kills JWM I hope he uses my icewm theme
once again top marks for your JWM theme. And "Glossy P" looks grand with it.

I hope the link is fixed soon as my main version of Puppy is 3.0.1 and that's the one I'd like to use this in.

Thanks for all of your hard work here DrNaBl! You are an astounding artist and themer!

the posted "old "link still marks an error


If you decide to uninstall you will need this to restore JWM completely

Hey DrNaBl I edited your first pet and changed the two icons and it works fine for me now with version 3.01 the uninstall needs my pet to correct JWM back to the orginal state

Note : you should build a repair uninstall for 3.02 since I dont use that version but the template of my pet shout be very close and easy to edit

Thanks for posting that BigBass and for bringing that to my attention. Oupsie! Yeah... I did install the other one here so "I would've been up the creek without a paddle" (as they say in English) had I NOT have had your correction file. Thanks again!

I actually HAD read what you'd written the first time but I'm much like the donkey, you know? Got to bat me between the eyes with a 2x4 to get my attention most times. LOL!

Thanks again everyone. And BTW: The link has been fixed to the theme.

Amicalement,

How can I make a new theme I've created default from the very fist launch of the CD?

[aragon]

hi steve,

maybe you'll try this

Code: Select all

<TaskListStyle>
<Font>FreeSans-12:bold</Font>
<ActiveForeground>white</ActiveForeground>
<ActiveBackground>black:#9dbbdb</ActiveBackground>
<Foreground>white</Foreground>
<Background>gray50:black</Background>
</TaskListStyle>

for tasklist.

cheers

put it in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme
If you want the user to be able to switch back to it after trying something else then you should pick a name for it and copy the format of the existing theme files.

The theme selector and jwm configurator do some on the fly editing of the jwmrc-tray so you probably should test that these work ok on your tray definition. My jwm config is usually so off wack that I don't trust the automatic tools to play with it, I currently have 16 trays defined.

[stevenbinion]

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions, I'll try them both out as soon as I get home.

[iwigo]

could yo make a dotpup for each theme? some of them are fantastic but i don't know how to install them

[magerlab]

i like the idea of having two trays like xfce
is it possible to have programms inserted into the upper tray?

i did not think jwm could be tweaked so nice!

[aragon]

dear magerlab,

yes, it is possible to insert programs to the upper tray (as both are theoretically the same).

if you look at the .jwmrc-tray, there are section like

Code: Select all

<TrayButton popup="Show desktop" icon="showdesk16.xpm">showdesktop</TrayButton>

with those commands you can insert buttons/programs in both trays (as i'm not posting this from my puppy, please check!).

as allways: please backup first.

cheers

In this topic I tried out the XFCE themes and I liked them at first. But then I started to prefer having all of my links and task bar on the bottom so I tried to uninstall the themes but only the icons would be uninstalled and under JWM config I would still see the XFCE option.

Is it just me or do others have a problem with this?
I also tried to change to other JWM themes but it only changes the color theme of the XFCE look.

I want the normal JWM look back but I've settled with openbox in the fatdog.sfs package.

Thanks

[magerlab]

it all can be done just by editing /root/.jwmrc-tray in geany( or leafpad)

say you have a line like this
Tray autohide="true" insert="right" x="0" y="-1" valign="top" halign="center" height="48" >
just change "top" to "bottom" and yo'll have tray at bottom

i'm sticked to 2 tray jwm
it 's cool

[Eyes-Only]

Nice shot magerlab! I really like the looks of that "Faux-XFCE" desktop of yours. So I've saved it in my Puppy Files directory to use as a shot of "What Puppy Can Do" when I go to show him off to friends.

I also like your menu button. I think you've used it as such? The "Puppy"? I done likewise with my LXPanel only I used the brown one as my desktop wallpaper is the old "Murkel 2.14" Puppy shot.

Thanks for sharing that screen-pic magerlab!

Amicalement,

I wonder if it's possible to use svg icons for menu and buttons?

i did not realize that jwm can be configured so nice!
the only thing i dislike is the bug with gxine full screen

[prit1]

@magerlab: I dont have the Gxine fullscreen problem in 3.01 and 4.00 when I use the light icewm package from Ttuuxxx. But with Jwm I do have this problem.

[magerlab]

yes, it's a jwm problem
but icewm for some reason( i still do not know) can not show window titles in unicode
so i now use more jwm and openbox +lxpanel
i hope that gxine problem will be solved ( or another player wiil be used in puppy )

gxine in puppy 4.00 is the best gxine yet ( Barry K did a great job with it )
it was downgraded and extra xine codecs were added
it is larger now but well worth the extra weight


I tested it with many formats all worked
*some formats you may need to drag and drop but thats an easy fix

open some more formats with gxine puppy 4.00
download these they are all tar.gz so you more control what to install
the first one on the list is instructions the rest are MIME-types
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ch&id=9911
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ch&id=9909
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ch&id=9908
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ch&id=9907

INSTUCTIONS where to place these mime types so you gain some more formats that you can open using gxine or any other media player

This will take you there fast

open console paste this

rox -s /root/Choices/MIME-types


open the folder
and place the three files (the above that you downloaded )there
now your default media player can launch them from saved files

Ok. I've tried several of these, and, though they show up in my JWM manager, they don't apply when selected, even after JWM and full system reboot. Any ideas why?

[vg1]

Here are some new themes for dingo4:
- black-IV - similar to icewm's Vista-Black-IV
- black-IV-slate - similar to above but with slightly livelier colours
- Lightlooks-Gold - for those who prefer lighter colours

Fonts are included. They may not render well on your screen, or if you don't like them, just comment them out, erase or change them. You can also override them in your jwmrc-personal file.

The themes can also be used in p3, or any version with jwm 2.0 or higher. In that case you need to manually apply the 'taskliststyle' colours to the blinker, xload & mini-volume in yout jwmrc-tray file.

For those who liked my 'black-vg' theme but found the fonts too big & imposing [as did I] I have also included a slightly modified - 'black-vg-sf' theme.I had my jwmrc-tray file set to override fonts and hadn't noticed while I was testing that theme. I have reduced them here. I like them better this way. Of course, they can easily be reduced as above, this is ready-made for those who prefer them that way.
