I then used dir2sfs on the directory "tahr64_Config-tas" and renamed it "config_tahr64_6.0.5-tas.sfs.
Why did you create manually an sfs from directory "tahr64_Config-tas" and renamed it "config_tahr64_6.0.5-tas.sfs?
How did you get that directory "tahr64_Config-tas"?
Please, make a copy of config_tahr64_6.0.5-tas.sfs at same location, so you can boot next time to choose to not to use a config sfs module at boot up. When rebooted without to use a config sfs module remove both of the config sfs modules.
If you e.g. installing TaS und want to keep this installation, just go to the menu SFS P.L.U.S. and choose either 'Configuration SFS Management' or 'Save current Configuration'.
Both of them will execute the GUI for Configuration SFS Management (if no config sfs module was loaded). Just enter a name into the entry field and click 'Create'.
If you are e.g. entering
default the config sfs module will be created as:
config_tahr64_6.0.5-default.sfs. No need to do anything manually on this task.
However, shot (2) shows the changes to the jwm tray (loaded with landscapes per shot (1)) and the changes I wanted to make choosing the DeepBlueBold jwm theme, deleting the seconds from the time via .jwmrc.tray and increasing the text size in the tray display via jwmrc-theme. All failed - so I need and would like detailed advice.
Ok, I was sure the changes on the tray will not stay persistent as the
.jwmrc-tray is replaced at every boot.
Just setup the tray once again to your needs. If all is done, copy
/root/.jwmrc-tray somewhere to ext partition.
Then copy the
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs into directory
Update at the same location where the
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs is stored.
Open this directory
Update in Rox Filer and right-click the copied
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs.
Choose
Edit or
Edit SFS (or similar to that). You can choose RAM to extract the
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs.
Copy the edited
.jwmrc-tray file into
/root inside of the extraction directory of
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs.
Put also a copy of
.jwmrc-tray into
/etc/xdg/jwm-tray/Original inside of the extraction directory of
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs.
Then click the Ok button to rebuild the
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs. If it is rebuild and offered to copy, move or copy it into that directory
Update (just overwrite the existing copy).
At next boot the
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs from directory
Update will be moved to the original location of
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs before it will load (you can see a message at the boot screen of 'Updating T.O.P.L.E.S.S. System SFS Modules' then).
The your changes made should be persistent now.
Anything else you want to change on the jwm menu may need a similar procedure to do. Edit the files and put them into the appropriate paths inside of the extracted
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs.
Btw: the cool thingy is: T.O.P.L.E.S.S. LazY Puppy 5 has everything on board, what's needed to edit/create/extract/combine SFS and PET files by right-click options easily!
Edit:
Please keep in mind:
Themes for JWM, GTK, Desktop-Icon-Setup, Sounds and Mouse Cursor are setup and defined in the config files like: tahr64_6.0.5-Space.cfg.
What ever you will change on these settings during the session and probably saving it into the edited
windowmanager_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs or into the configuration sfs module will not stay persistent and therefor being overwritten by the values from inside of a config file like: tahr64_6.0.5-Space.cfg.
Everything what's defined in such config file is setup AFTER the Config SFS Module and all T.O.P.L.E.S.S. System SFS Modules are loaded!
