Pup 51 + pmenu

[800]

Hi All!

Pretty self-explanatory. I've searched the site but found nothing. I'd love to be able to trim down the unused menu items the way I did in prior pups. Didn't see it in package manager either.

Anyone have this particular knowledge to share?

thanks

800,

This is what I did for the app menu items in Puppy 431 which uses jwm. Make a directory /usr/share/applicationsX Move unwanted files from /usr/share/applications to /usr/share/applicationsX. Restart jwm.

I think you have to run 'fixmenus' before you restart jwm?

Thanks so much. I forgot to mention that I'm using IceWM, do the same directions apply?

I like Ice a lot... like JWM too, but the ability to switch around is great.

Thanks for the info.

the Pup rules the old boxes !

DaveS,
you're right about fixmenus

Code: Select all

# fixmenus
Generating /root/.icewm/menu...
Generating /root/.jwmrc...

800,
It makes the icewm menu too.

I was hiding seamonkey after I'd made a crude uninstall. What is your purpose? It occurs to me that a newcomer to PCs might benefit from a cut down menu. I myself don't use half the apps.

zygo,

thanks. purpose is to declutter. I prefer just having the items I use the most be in the menus. I can locate the programs where they live and link to them if I'm using them for something. Otherwise I'd rather not have the extra stuff.

I still have a few prog links on the desktop, but I may get rid of more of those, or maybe even all of them. With the autohide task bar it's clean, clean, clean.

thanks again for the info guys
