This one was based on icegnome2, nice2 and the bluecurve like fluxbox theme

I think it is by far more beautiful than my previous one based on nice2

and now it has a menu item to go back to fluxbox and a mydsl entry so that you can alternate between icewm and fluxbox

have fun ;-)

Is there a way for the MyDsl menu to show up in icewm? Some programs do not have icons to transfer to the desktop.

I love how you have menu entries to go back and forth between ice and flux. Very nice!

Well, I wrote a Flux to Icewm converter:

Code Sample

#!/usr/bin/perl
$inp = `cat $ARGV[0]`;
@i = split("\n", $inp);
open(FH, ">$ARGV[0].icewm");
foreach $elem (@i) {
if ($elem=~/#/) {
next;
}
if ($elem=~/\[submenu\] $(.+)$/) {
unless ($1 eq "Styles") {print FH "menu \"$1\" \"folder\" {\n"};
}
if ($elem=~/\[end\]/) {
print FH "}\n";
}
if ($elem=~/\[exec\] $(.+)$ \{(.+)\}/) {
print FH "prog \"$1\" \"-\" $2\n";
}
}
close (FH);

Just give it the name of your Fluxbox menu file and it will output that file with the ".icewm" extension appended.

henrique,

i can not get used to fluxbox, so i was glad to find icewm in the myDSL repository.
i downloaded it, put in the root of /cdrom, it worked perfect.
i did not like the nice2 theme so i got some others from themes at freshmeat. i tried then the worked well but i did not like then.

Then came icewm-blue.dsl! I downloaded it put also in /cdrom. I like it. (although it overrides some of met settings in ~./icewm/preferences)

But NOW i have a problem: if i use icewm-blue.dsl my printer doesnt work any more, if switch back to icewm.dsl my printer works)

Henk.

It's a very curious bug !

I willl compare both dsl to (try) to find the reason of this

for now experiment it:

open the icewm-blue.dsl and copy only the theme (/usr/share/icewm/themes)

install the original icewm.dsl , copy back the blue theme and switch to it

try to print and tell us the result ;-)

if it works we can easily create a new blue one in the case of not found the bug

(sorry for my broken english)

as i like the theme very much i copied /usr/share/icewm/themes to ~/.icewm and used the "old" icewm.dsl and printing works ok.

i tried this yesterday immediatly after my post

the only diference i see in the two icewm*.dsl is: in blue there is an extra /tmp (owner dammsmall:staff) and the access rights to the icons is more restrictive

(me too sorry for my broken english)
