How to change the name for each workspace on the fly?

Rate this Message:
Hi,
Since I'm not sure what the technical term is for what I want to refer. I will use the term "name" for now. By "workspace name", I mean the popup notice (right now, I have something like "Workspace 1", "Workspace 2", etc), when my mouse is on (without clicking) the workspace button on the toolbar. I feel that it would be convenient if the names ( "Workspace 1", "Workspace 2", etc) can be changed to some more meaningful while I am still in the same icewm session. Even if I can not configure it on the fly, at least I want to change them to some more meaningful words next time when I start a icewm session. I'm wondering if any of my request is possible.

Look for the line beginning with "WorkspaceNames". Change the names as you like. To put the changes into effect, either kill and restart the icewm session, or simply call pkill -HUP icewm Hope that helps.

Please see the above figure for what I mean. When my mouse on top of "2" on my toolbar, icewm will pop up "Workspace:2". I still want to maintain the numbers 0 to 9 on the toolbar. But I want to change the pop-up words, such as "Workspace:2", to something more descriptive. Also, since I can put anything on a workspace while I am using icewm, I am wondering if I could change the pop-up words without restarting icewm.

The text appearing in the popup is hard-coded in the .po file correspondig to your language; default is "en". The only way to achieve this would be to get the source, edit the file po/en.po, and compile and re-install the language file (make nls; make install-nls).

That is OK, if I can not change it on the fly. But as long as I can change the corresponding popup message for each workspace, that will be OK with me. I have found the file 'en.po'. What I should do to customize the popup message for each workspace? Regards, Peng ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Icewm doesn't support different popup strings for different workspaces. You could of course try to patch the sources for that. Good luck!
