JWM right-click on the Window top bar. (have specific name for a desktop not just a number) (solved)

Post by RSH »

All of us know that one can send a JWM window to another desktop by right-clicking its top bar.
A "send to" menu appears where to choose from the different desktops.
I have ten different desktops in use.
The have unique names in my VarioMenu (some of you may recall this from murga-forum).

Is it possible to give this right-click-list of desktops names for each desktop instead the numbers from 1 to 10?
If so, how?

Thanks.

To change the names for desktops you can edit /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
from

Code: Select all

<!-- Number of virtual desktops -->
<Desktops width="3" height="1"/>

to

Code: Select all

<!-- Number of virtual desktops -->
<Desktops width="3" height="1">
<Desktop name="Desktop 1"/>
<Desktop name="Desktop 2"/>
<Desktop name="Desktop 3"/>
</Desktops>
