[SOLVED] How do I get my taskbar icons back?

[zapjb]

I was having a hardware problem that I though was a software problem. Mouse wouldn't move, stuck in center of screen. Just had to move to a different USB port.

So I rebooted Puppy Lucid 5.2 a couple times, powered off a couple more times. All by way of CTL-Alt-Bckspc.

Now the theme color of my rt clk menu is green in color. I like it though.

But now the sound, internet, & free space icons are missing on the taskbar to the left of the clock.

How do I get these icons back?

Thank you.

Mods if this is in wrong section, move at your discretion.

Code: Select all

less -N /root/.jwmrc-tray

23 <Swallow name="freememapplet" width="34">
24 freememappletshell
25 </Swallow>

there are also noted blinky and xload

Many of these tray applets are started by

Code: Select all

which delayedrun

which starts the entries in the $HOME/Startup folder

How glipper and retrovol are getting into the tray I don't know

Thanks I started over. I like Puppy Linux. Format USB flash drive & install takes 5 minutes. But if I bork this incarnation in the same way, I'll try it.

Was that the JWM menu?

You may have had a corrupted JWM configuration - in my experience normally when this happens the title bars and things turn red. For future reference it is almost always fixed by running

Code: Select all

fixmenus

(and restarting JWM).

In my case red was not the color. It was a nice emerald green which I rather liked. Anyway to get that back?

i'm not sure you are using jwm, maybe you are using openbox (the default) as window manager in lucid 5.2 .....

Yes, that's the general idea of Linux - giving you control over the computer.
Whichever window manager you have, there should be something to configure it under Menu-Desktop or somewhere like that. The hardest part would be finding the right green.
