 |
|
It's been a while since anybody posted icewm information so I thought I would add my notes on configuring icewm.
#System wide custom settings should go in /etc/icewm.
#User's custom settings should go in {$HOME}/.icewm.
# icewm-xdg-menu requires /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu file to be present
# /etc/xdg/menus/ has lxde, kde, gnome menu entries
# Try lxde menu categories:
| Code: | ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
mkdir /etc/icewm |
| Code: | echo 'prog Xfce-Terminal /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/apps/terminal.png xfce4-terminal
prog PCmanFM /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/apps/file-manager.png pcmanfm
prog Chromium /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/chromium-browser.png chromium
prog Leafpad /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/leafpad.png leafpad' >/etc/icewm/toolbar |
#Note: I had to modify the icewm-xdg-menu by replacing line 97 with 2 lines
#Line 97 -> | Code: | | execute = exec_clean2_re.sub('%', exec_clean1_re.sub('', de.getExec())) |
| Code: | deg = de.getExec().replace(r'%c',name)
execute = exec_clean2_re.sub('%', exec_clean1_re.sub('', deg)) |
# Some kde programs would not launch without it because the -caption switch requires a string to follow it.
echo 'menuprog Applications - python2.7 /usr/portage/x11-wm/icewm/files/icewm-xdg-menu --entire-menu' > /etc/icewm/menu
# Could not figure out how to set chromium as default browser globally.
# Tried | Code: | | xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-browser-chromium.desktop |
but it failed
# Set user default web browser to chromium so cups manual opens in chromium instead of links
| Code: | mkdir .local/share/applications
xdg-mime default chromium-browser-chromium.desktop x-scheme-handler/http
xdg-mime default chromium-browser-chromium.desktop x-scheme-handler/https |
#My user preferences:
| Code: | mkdir .icewm
echo 'TaskBarShowCPUStatus=1
TaskBarShowNetStatus=1
TaskBarShowCollapseButton=1
TaskBarDoubleHeight=1
NetworkStatusDevice="wlp0s19f2u4 wlp0s19f2u5"
TimeFormat="%T"
WorkspaceNames=" Sys ", " Web ", " IDE ", " Dates ", " Home ", " VM ", " Misc ", " Fin "
DesktopBackgroundColor="rgb:64/DC/DC"' > ~/.icewm/prefoverride |
#Use startx to launch icewm
| Code: | | echo 'exec icewm-session' > .xinitrc |
