How to make a new submenu in the JWM menu

1. Create a new .menu file in /etc/xdg/menus for your submenu, ensure the categories you want are in the submenu are included.
2. Edit /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc to tell it about he new .menu file you made.
3. A program's .desktop file (in /usr/share/applications) sets its category and therefore which submenu it appears in.
4. To set the icon creat a .directory file in /usr/share/desktop-directories.
5. Enter the commands fixmenus then jwm -restart to update Puppy

create a file Puppy-Internet-login-sub.directory describe directory property in `/usr/share/desktop-directories/`

eg:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Putty
Icon=putty.xpm
Type=Directory

After fixmenu refresh, works perfectly.
