\ i'll just use the menus for launch picking

For apps like open office, firewall, etc... the folder icon is useless anyway.

One possibility is a folder of wrappers.

Edit:  I just did that, creating a MyApps folder with a bunch of scripts to my favorite apps with pretty icons; very clean and took only a few minutes to create.

Edit2:  Unfortunately, dfm doesn't seem to work with some scripts that work fine with Rox (like a streamripper script); I also can't get it to load the vi editor.

Edit3:  The script IS running, but terminal output goes to ttyp0  Solution: put "aterm -e" in the icon shellcommand ( aterm -e !0! )
if you need to view the terminal window.

i got the xrsi working, but how can i change the icons and background? in 3.4 they where listed in the menu, but tey arent anymore, how can i execute them?

With v4.0 dfm is used. So it's drag and drop for icons and background can be set by right-clicking on dfm > DFM for X11 > Desktop Options.

i know...
but i already said that i cant get dfm working with jpg's and png's
so i try to use xsri but how can i get these tools back for the wallpaper and the icons

ImageMagick should be capable of converting png, jpg ->xpm. There's one in testing (ImageMagick.uci).

Edit:  Works very well. Load ImageMagick and run from the command line.  example:  

/opt/imagemagick/bin$ convert /tmp/Beaver.png /tmp/beaver.xpm

The resulting .xpm file will work with dfm.

Thanks Mikshaw!

What would be the advantage over xzgv for basic image viewing without the SDL library?


Xzgv is heavier, and requires X. Besides, the SDL lib is already in the core DSL.
