This is a complement to icewm-blue.dsl (install it first) that adds:

-a new menu from DSL 0.7.3

-now dillo starts with initial page

-icedock to use dockapps with icewm

- new set of icons (the old ones are deleted , make backup ;-)

-new interesting dockapps for everybody to test:

wmsmixer (very easy to use volume control)

wmusic (a xmms front-end)

wmcdplay (cd player)

wmmon (with uptime)

wmclockmon (you can set more than one alarm and execute programs at a given time)

wmtimer (timer, chono and alarm also)

wmdiskmon (to see disk usage, comes pre-configured to see how much space you have available in ramdisk when in live-cd)

the link to download is:

have fun ;-)

Cool. Did you really put the IEEEE icon and LookOut Express icons on the desktop for the package? It's funny, but I don't want people to think I have those on my PC.

You say you are getting a new 0.7.3 menu. Does this mean that all the stuff that is available under fluxbox's menu will show up in Icewm? Before, I tried the Icewm.dsl, but it had less functionality for me than fluxbox.

Yes, the icons are exactly as shown in the screenshot

if someone dont like them please make a copy of /home/dsl/.xtdesktop before because all the .lnk files will be overwritten ;-)

the menu of icewm try to reproduce the one of fluxbox as most as I could do, it may surely be improved by suggestions

have all fun using Icewm ! :-)

(sorry for my broken english)

Thanks for this Henrique

I personally don't like icewm, but I'm trying to convert some ms users to linux and they should feel comfortable with this.

i am a icewm user to. i use your icewm.dsl and icewm-blue.dsl.

i have bin looking for icedock myself but could not get it to work.
now i found it in this post. i tried it, il apears to work well.

do you now wich winoptions i have to set to make icedock stay on top and in the docklayer so it wil not be covert by other applications when maximized?

i will repackage your icedock.dsl for my own use. I think it is a little to agarisive to my current settings i.e
bin/df
home/dsl/.xinitrc
home/dsl/.icewm/menu
home/dsl/.icewm/startup
usr/share/icewm/toolbar

and you make using DSL fun by giving us usable windowmanager, thank you!

In .icedockrc uncomment the line ontop=on ;-)

I am very happy too with DSL and Icewm. It's very easy to use and can also be very beautiful depending on the theme

take a look at my current desktop on a remastered DSL

Wow! Nice desktop.

Posted by iscraigh2 on Sep. 08 2004,00:31

I have tried this and like it my only problem is it starts with no desktop icons and when I choose enhanced the dock apps appear on top of each other in the upper left hand corner. Also how could I get the IE icon to point to Firefox? How do I edit a .dsl file?

Thanks

PS: Great desktop, package it

One more thing i noticed, some menu items from the fluxbox list are missing. One that I noticed was the get flash plugin option. Cab we package flash as a separate .dsl ?

Nope..

Macromedia does not allow distribution..
That's why we have the script.
That's what the script does.. d/l from macromedia..

Besides, only one file is used...
Wouldn't make for a good .dsl file..
Keep a copy somewhere else.. and add it when you need it.
