Expand Theme Switcher for JWM
Expand Theme Switcher for JWM
Ok, all you script writers and remaster-ers this one's for you. Or just if you have an idea of how to fix this...
Running 4.0, JWM desktop.
The problem is that I have a lot of themes. When I click on the theme_switcher gui it shows all my themes but it runs out of the screen. I can't resize the window to include them, either.
How can I fix this? I am thinking add a scroll bar on the right hand side, or set it to have columns 1 and two, or something. I like the theme_switcher overall, 'cause it shows little pictures for each one and it fits well into the overall JWM Puppy presentation, but I am open to suggestions. I tried modifying the script a little but I have VERY limited skills writing script, so I am looking for help.
Another option is to do like some and have a themes menu in the right click menu. I may go that route if I can't figure this out, but I don't think that fits the overall feel of 4.0 as well.
Any advice would be appreciated...

You can also right click and drag windows in the desktop switcher (the little rectangles next to the taskbar menu button) to move them.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

We should really have scroll bars in our guis so they can fit on small screens though

...if it's an easy add to the script, I would love to put that on my version; I think it would make it simple for those that don't know about alt.disciple wrote:We should really have scroll bars in our guis so they can fit on small screens though
But, I gotta say, once you know the "alt" trick, it makes life easier.

There was a thread for JWM themes running in parallel with one of the threads for icewm themes.

However, I had been looking for something for the JWM themes. That one is just for Gtk, right? The Gtk viewer isn't the issue (I've got a lot of those Gtk themes too, though! )....oh, I had seen this one on one of your puplets...
Or are you suggesting modifying that script and using it?
It would be nice if gtkdialog allowed you to just create a scrollpane container and drop everything into it, but it doesn't. Fixing this requires some architectural change to the application's gui design.steve_s wrote:...if it's an easy add to the script, I would love to put that on my version; I think it would make it simple for those that don't know about alt.disciple wrote:We should really have scroll bars in our guis so they can fit on small screens though
