How can I set the "How many Desktops screens" to 4 or just 1 (LiveCD 4MLinux 30.0) ?
Hi, can you guys help me please with - where can I find the setting of "How many Desktops screens" so I can set it to 4 Desktops or just 1 Desktop?
And where in which file is this settings stored please?
The idea is when I boot pc from LiveCD > set it > find the "setting storage file" in / system > copy & backup that file on external hdd.
Then when I boot next time LiveCD I do not have to set it again - just copy with one click this my backuped file (by my bash script.sh) from external hdd back into system / (somewhere where it belong) - and it will be set.
(I do have successfully using this my script.sh with easy quick PCManFM & Chrome & Firefox settings ).
I was going through files in /usr/share/jwm/system.jwmrc & /usr/bin/4mlinuX but I'm just not able to figure it out by myself to which/where file in final it goes .
The number of desktops is controlled by the*Desktops*tag. The*width*attribute determines how many desktops are available horizontally and the*height*attribute determines how many desktops are available vertically.
In the*Desktops*section it is possible to specify a background for all desktops or each individually. Further, it is possible to set names for each desktop.

Both depend on which DE (Desktop Environment) you're running, so which pager is active. KDE 4 will do it differently from KDE 5, from Gnome or XFCE.
The best way to change it is through the settings program of your DE,
but for instance in my version of XFCE it is in the file
$HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml

With a normal install you'd just copy it to your home folder but running it live you may need to restart the desktop for changes to take effect; the man page may help with that? Been awhile since I ran JWM...

Thank you guys for your help. The fact is that I was on those JWM manual links before but when I did changed in 'system.jwmrc' file lines:
<Tray x="0" y="-1" height="32" autohide="bottom">
and also
<Desktops width="1" height="1">
... then after save and reload jwm no changes has been made on panel.
So now I after changes in 'system.jwmrc' file did:
reload jwm
exit jwm
startx
... and it works .
