HowToDo: JWM graphic desktop buttons.?
HowToDo: JWM graphic desktop buttons.?
I was wondering how Puppy has the graphical desktop buttons setup.
Each desktop button 1-3 has a little graphic of the actual desktop on it.
I looked at as many JWM files as I could find but didn`t see much.

Barry first discussed overlay of icons here...

Then vovchik's png overlay was developed

I think you two are talking about different things. Sunburnt - what version of Puppy are you talking about? Are you sure it is running JWM?
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

So not a graphic in the sense of real thumbnails, just a symbolic representation of the windows on each desktop.

technosaurus means that the code is located in pager.c of the JWM sources -that's where the graphics are created. I don't use JWM so I don't know, but they may actually be dynamically-generated thumbnails of each desktop. The 'pager' feature is common to most medium-sized or larger Window Managers or IDEs. Really small WM's rely on an external pager applications which are not integrated into any panel. Many independent panels include a 'pager section' or plugin.

Hi amigo; Working in the DebianDog dev. thread, and it`s a nice feature that I`d like to add.
I also want to get transparency working ( xcompmgr ).
The JWM site speaks of transparency, but no mention of graphical desktop pager buttons.
I just downloaded jwm-2.2.2 and I see the pager.c file.
# Maybe some help with configure and compiling commands.?

Hi Terry, I'm not sure what you mean. I've been using jwm since Toni first included it in DebianDog and the default setup includes the pager functionality. My debiandog install shows the graphical representation of the desktop in the change desktop pager buttons and you can even drag windows about in them.sunburnt wrote:Hi amigo; Working in the DebianDog dev. thread, and it`s a nice feature that I`d like to add.

Hi William; Toni made numbered 1-4 icon buttons for JWM, that`s what I see.
Are you using Fred`s version.? Maybe that`s the difference. I`m reinventing the wheel...

@sunburnt why don't you stop beating around the bush and tell us what exactly you want to do. Current jwm can handle MxN desktops (see the configuration page)

technosaurus; Sorry, I thought I was being rather clear about the desktop pager buttons.
Apparently DebianDog has some level of this enabled, but it`s still not quite the same.

Its written in shell. I wrote it to be fast enough to generate menus on the fly. It is possible to use a jwm menu as an application ... a package manager was one example another was a drive mount utility. The package manager is instantaneous unlike PPM.
