Some have complained that the icons in the tray are too small. There are no mini-icons in DSL, one of the nice features of JWM is the ability to resize our standard set of icons. You can edit your .jwmrc-tray file and change the height to 32
<Tray x="0" y="-1" height="32">
Then restart the window manager. The icons will adjust. Perhaps I should make 32 the default?

That's a big tray. I pulled my icons off the .jwmrc-tray and set up a second tray that looks kind of like a NeXT/WindowMaker dock. I keep mine on autohide so it's out of the way and I don't lose any screen real estate. Here's the shot I took before removing the icons from .jwmrc-tray (so they're in both trays): http://lucky13linux.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/full-1.png
Size in the .jwmrc-tray, bottom-right tray is 36 pixels (which allows 32x32 without any scaling). I don't know if you want two separate trays, though, especially since (a) you'd probably want to leave autohide=false and (b) it would accordingly rob an area of 36x horizontal and 36x vertical with autohide=false unless you set its layer low so it's (almost) always on bottom.
EDIT: I just tried my second tray with autohide=false and with both the default layer (8) and with 0 to make sure what I wrote would work. On default, I can maximize between my trays -- robbing 20-something pixels across the top and 36 vertical and horizontal from the second tray, which would be bad on a small monitor. With layer="0", I can maximize over the second tray. So that's an option to consider if you're open to a second tray (and then maybe use some of the space on the first for "quick" menus like a MyDSL menu, net menu, etc.?).
(Edited again to reflect actual size of second tray at 36 instead of 32.)This is how it would look with a second icon tray in the top left hand corner (vertical and horizontal shots). http://lucky13linux.wordpress.com/jwm-tray-layouts/It becomes a personal choice. Like the MacOS-like one I had posted in a different thread
Top, Bottom, Centered, Left, Right, autohide, etc... But we are now getting away from the familiar which was the original intended purpose.

I quite agree. But then if one looks at the original RISCOS the bottom panel was/is huge. I also believe the default ROX has a similiar rather large bottom panel.Next Page...
