@josejp2424,

Thanks for upgrading to JWMdesk-3.5. By the way, your Devuanpup and Dpup releases are very good and JWMdesk integrates nicely with both.

JWMdesk-3.5.4
PupMates
https://www.smokey01.com/radky/PupMates.html

I installed 3.5.4 and curiously I don't know how to access the gui that gives me a choice of my saved JWM themes, so that I can switch from one to the other. I have a script to do that manually, copying my theme rc's to the current rc, but there used to be gui window to that showed the menu.png and window-button.png. Is that still available on my system somewhere?

I'm on Fossapup64

Thanks!

@geo_c,

For access to the Legacy JWM Theme Switcher, please go to the button shown by the red marker in the attached image-1.

The GUI of the JWM theme switcher no longer requires the original png images of the menu and window-button graphics. Rather the GUI automatically generates svg images from the hexadecimal color code of each JWM theme. See image-2 below.

Thanks for your question.

Thanks! that's where it is!

@radky

The JWM menu&tray.png feature is really sweet! Mine never looked quite the same as the built-in themes. This does a great job.

@geo_c, @backi, @josejp2424

Your evaluation and comments are very much appreciated!

Thought it might be helpful for potential users to see what's 'behind door number 2'.

@radky

Just wanted to let you know that it's things like this that separate Puppy from the rest of the "herd" Linux distros, We got better tools!

Thanks

JWMdesk-3.6

This is a great update, thank you very much for this.

@Sofiya,

Thanks for testing the new features of JWMdesk-3.6. Your comments are much appreciated.

PupMates

I downloaded and installed. Seems to be running smoothly in fossapup64.9.5. A very valuable tool for me, especially in combination with JWMtheme maker.

geo_c

Thanks for testing.

One of the new modules of JWMdesk-3.6 is the 'JWM Theme Builder' which is similar to the JWMtheme Maker that you currently use, but with several new features.

I'm just looking at that, didn't notice it before. That's great. A lot more control. I always had to go back into the themerc files to set the tray colors and all after making one with thememaker.

You mentioned the updated JWM in another topic. Where do I find that? Is it in the package manager repo?

@geo_c

The updated JWM (2.4.3) is the version currently included in Woof-CE Pups, and should be available in the new FossaPup64 9.6.

@radky IMPORTANT!! Some of the links on PupMates are depreciated!!!

Change any link that looks like this example -> https://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=56077
to this -> https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=56077

Notice that the directory /puppy/ does NOT EXIST in the oldforum URL's so please replace any link with http://murga-linux.com/puppy/ (or https in it) to the current URL form like -> https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/

@rockedge

I found three incorrect links in the PupMates.html stored at smokey01.com, now fixed and correctly linked to oldforum.puppylinux.com.

Thanks
