Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Starting my own thread for this as I am uploading a package.
Strictly for testing only - install at your own risk.
IceWM Window Manager version 2.9.1 released December 02nd 2021
Compiled from source in BionicPup64 and probably only suitable for BionicPup64
Menu seems OK, fixmenus script works to produce menu structure similar to JWM menu
Configured to make noises (event sounds) when you click on some window and tray buttons
Usage (after installing the .pet) is easy:-
From JWM, click on:-
Menu > Desktop > Switch To IceWM
To return to JWM from IceWM:-
Menu > Shutdown > Restart with JWM

NOTE
I am personally happy with JWM and I was only looking at this out of curiosity as it was mentioned in other threads.
Feedback is welcome, but most things will be user configuration. I have included the HTML documents in /usr/share/doc/icewm

Thx Oscar. Seems pretty neat, especially the sounds. Takes me back to those 1980's sci-fi movies. I'll try it out a few days to see if

grows on me. I like jwm too, but this might change my mind.

This little pet compliments yours perfectly. I can't recall where it came from.

Hi Oscartalks,
tons of thanks for those two pets!
As I'm found of icewms look, I could'nt resist to load them into a pristine bionicpup64-8.0; and it worked OOTB, even for the belgian (fr_BE ...i.e. french) NLS translation !
Bookmarked for my next bionicpup64-8.0 puplet ! I'll give it a try to add a few Mac themes like the «Leopard» one from an earlier icewm version.
Best regards, Charlie
