icewm menu
Hi! i just wanted to know if anybody knows how to modify icewm menu (edit) and also how do i change backgrounds ?
thanks a bunch (hey icewm it`s the best of two worlds never going to change unless i cannot change my menu ehehe) |
IceWM has a fairly simple help facility, but it does reference where the menu system is located. I'm not at my Linux box now, but the menu file is in a share directory under /etc, IIRC. The "preferences" file should be located in a .icewm directory (note the "dot" in the name) under each user name home directory. For preferences, you can either manually edit the file, or you can use icepref, which depending on your distro may have been installed along with icewm. If icepref wasn't installed, it's worth an internet search!!

sorry for taking so long to reply , hope someone sees this cause i`m going insane
i read your post jglen490 and did what you said , i downloaded icepref and pygtk -0.6.9 too cause i was i needed it . during pytgk , i got this at ``./configure`` step :

i just read the help notes about icewm instalation and i read this :
``Usually automatically generated menu configuration file of installed programs. The programs file should be automatically generated by wmconfig (Redhat), menu (Debian) or an equivalent program (kde2ice and gno2ice to convert GNOME/KDE Menu hierarchy are available). `` how can i find the right file on slackware ? this is the file that runs the menu , right ? i guess i`m going to do a manual config myself as i did with blackbox . Only problem don`t even know the name of the file i`m looking for . Is there anybody running slackware with icewm to tell anything ? thanks a lot |
