This is how it would look with a second icon tray in the top left hand corner (vertical and horizontal shots).

the tray's are just so versatile. it's one of the main reasons i love jwm now, i even use the tray's for desktop icons. here's what mine looks like.

i even use the tray's for desktop icons

Heh, brilliant. No need at all for xtdesk.

yeap, not needed. i came up with the idea when i was using dsl, that dfm just annoyed the hell out of me. i'm back on debian know though and just took the idea further. i'm not really a icon person, but the kids want icons to click on. i also chose to keep it all in 1 file instead of including other files for convince.

on my other install i had separate setups/styles set up and just did this for commands->

<Program icon="jwm.png" label="JWM">cp -f ~/.jwm/jwm1 ~/.jwmrc</Program>
<Program icon="kde.png" label="KDE">cp -f ~/.jwm/jwm2 ~/.jwmrc</Program>
etc...

jwm1 would be for example stock jwm
jwm2 would be a kde style look
jwm3 would be a apple style look
jwm4 would be a gnome style look
etc...

i used names, for the example i'm just using "jwm#"
you get the point, i could change everything with just a click.[CODE]

for you it would be easier in dsl, you just change jwmrc-style, i think it was.

That's impressive, kerry.
Icons aren't my thing, but you've done something unique and attractive here.

36 mHz is a really slow processor, though =o)

thanks, it still work in progress only installed like 4days ago. i should have put pics of the ones i did wth dsl in ram on 256mb ram.

my cpu is 450mhz, it just throttles nicely. i've got my setup so light it doesn't strain the cpu.
