Jwm corner actions

[zigbert]

I am working on this feature in Woof-CE, and wonder if you have suggestion of actions that would be reasonable to offer.
By default no corners are active, and there is atm only 4 actions in the list. You can of course edit your own action, but for most users, I think it would be convenient to offer some presets.

pNote - My personal reason for making this framework. The simplest notepad.
FindNrun - Works really great with this concept. It's not included in Slacko atm. Maybe @01micko will consider it...
TimeBar - The clock/calendar/etc found in /usr/local/jwm_config/time
pWidgets - Only available if installed

I plan to include corner actions as a module in pTheme... But first do some work and thinking of how we best use it.

Test the concept in Slacko 8.0.1 (alpha2). FossaPup does not include jwm_config/pTheme, so it won't work there.

WOW! This is great, I have longed for this.
However, I use fossapup for need of debian packages..
Is there/ would there be a way to add it to this jwm setup? Or add the needed parts to fossa?

In any case, the first things I would use if possible would be,
-Show desktop
-Windows list (or similar) cycle open windows perhaps.
-Could offer some handy shortcuts like, screenshot, terminal, htop
Just some thoughts.

Very cool to see action on this, Thanks

@zigbert :-

Just for the hell of it.....how about "Nixieclock"? It's a wee binary that simulates the appearance of the clocks from years ago that were built from "Nixie" tubes:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube

Which look like this:-

(from the above article). The 'nixieclock' binary, when you click on it, looks like this:-

A right-click offers format options, and 'Quit'.

Someone offered these on the Forum last year some time, and I grabbed 'em. I've attached tarballs to this post in case anyone's interested.....some folks LIKE this kinda 'vintage tech'..!

Not exactly a serious function, I know.....but it's just an idea.

FossaPup uses the same jwm, but another setup (jwmDesk). This is a choice of look'n'feel, and I am sure Phil has a good reason for it. I am developing the jwm_config package in Woof-CE, and it is possible to grab from Github. But I doubt it will run without flaws in combination with existing setup in FossaPup. Slacko, Bionic32, ScPup, RasPup... all uses jwm_config

In any case, the first things I would use if possible would be,
-Show desktop
-Windows list (or similar) cycle open windows perhaps.

Just some thoughts.

Both 'show desktop' and 'window list' are both jwm functions, and as the biggest paradox, such functions will not work as corner actions. It basically executes a command, and since jwm does not support its function via a parameter (Eg. jwm -showdesktop), it won't work. Screenshot, terminal... would work! I'll consider those. Remember that user are free to enter its own command. It can start every program, but I will only add preset for some desktop-oriented commands.

Wonderful, but far beyond the scope of preset commands.

Everyone can add whatever command they like, so Nixieclock will work for you

Hi, zigbert
Where can I download pNote?
Thanks!

pNote is found at https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... sbin/pnote

But is not a standalone app as it is integrated with parts of woof-CE not found in all puppies. Slacko-8 is actually the only Puppy fully supporting pNote at current state.
