Layering of dialog box

2009-11-20T01:05:06Z

I am developing a java application with 2 dialogs, both appearing on the screen.
I need to apply a particular layering logic to both the dialogs, individually.
For e.g., dialog A should always be above dialog B. But on an event like mouseMove, dialog B takes over the layer of dialog A.
Using xprop, I get the same class names for both the dialogs. How should I go about it?

Hello Frank,

I have solved it with

`````````
# Bitmask of buttons that raise the window when pressed
ButtonRaiseMask=4
`````````````

When I click on a window with left mouse button then only it focused. Hence I can keep my other terminal open and can copy from with out focusing them. If someone has any better/other idea please post here.

cheers.

about idesk

2009-11-11T06:04:46Z

Hello,

icewm+idesk is a great combination. I have debian squeeze but idesk can't use the multiple wall paper feature. If you point a folder then idesk should display the images in that folder after a regualr interval defined by you. I have no luck yet. Any success from anyone ?

Please let me know.
Thanks

There are a bunch of preferences you can set in the preferences file in the
~/.icewm directory:

Focus windows by clicking
# ClickToFocus=1 # 0/1

# Focus windows when application requests to raise
FocusOnAppRaise=1 # 0/1

# Request focus (flashing in taskbar) when application requests raise
# RequestFocusOnAppRaise=1 # 0/1

# Raise windows when focused
RaiseOnFocus=1 # 0/1

# Focus window when client area clicked
FocusOnClickClient=1 # 0/1

# Raise window when client area clicked
RaiseOnClickClient=1 # 0/1

# Raise window when title bar is clicked
RaiseOnClickTitleBar=1 # 0/1

# Raise window when frame button is clicked
RaiseOnClickButton=1 # 0/1

# Raise window when frame border is clicked
RaiseOnClickFrame=1 # 0/1

# Lower the active window when clicked again
# LowerOnClickWhenRaised=0 # 0/1

# Pass focusing click on client area to client
# PassFirstClickToClient=1 # 0/1

# Change to the workspace of newly focused windows
# FocusChangesWorkspace=0 # 0/1

# Focus normal window when initially mapped
# FocusOnMap=1 # 0/1

# Focus dialog window when initially mapped
# FocusOnMapTransient=0 # 0/1

# Focus dialog window when initially mapped only if parent frame focused
# FocusOnMapTransientActive=1 # 0/1

That's just some of them. I'm sure you'll find what you need in there
somewhere.

Icewmtray-1.2.37 segfaults on exit

2009-10-29T11:12:07Z

Has anyone seen messages like this in /var/log/messages on exit from icewm-1.2.37 back to a console:

"icewmtray[2502]: segfault at 8000000 ip b7baffe7 sp bfcae8b8 error 4 in libc-2.7.so"

Since icewm has exited the segfault seems to cause no problem. Or does it? Solutions?

How to prevent click on focus in client area ?

2009-10-25T07:22:14Z

Hello list,

Hope you all are well and doing well. I am seeking some help on icewm focus management and here with hope :-)

Sometime I need to copy codes from web-browser to the console located just next. But clicking on the browser focuses it and I need to focus the console again. I can remember in the old days with kde I could prevent the focusing and it only focused after clicking on the menu-bar. Can I do same here in icewm ? I have done some experiment with IceWM GUI icewm configuration tool but it is not successful. May be I missed something !!! Any clue ?

Thanks

New versions and other questions

2009-10-17T09:55:58Z

I am running IceWM 1.2.32. I notice on the web site there are 2
different versions for download.

icewm-1.3.4pre2.tar.gz and
icewm-1.2.38pre1.tar.gz

SInce I am having absolutely ZERO problems with 1.2.32 is there any
good reason to upgrade to either one of the newer versions? I mean
like new bells or whistles or anything such as that??

Just wondering. :)

Thanks

App Starts Iconized

2009-10-16T13:04:52Z

Running icewm-1.2.37.

I start an 'su' login xterm with this command in 'menu':

prog "SU-ROOT" xscreensaver xterm4 -fn "fontname_string" -e su -

The xterm starts as an icon on the toolbar instead of full screen. This didn't happen with icewm-1.2.23.

Suggestions?

Probably.

Exactly how do you expect someone to give you a workaround for something
that "does not work"? When you visit your doctor, do you just sit there
and wait for his diagnosis or do you tell him what the symptoms are?

I use gnome-terminal in icewm.

Under
Edit->Current Profile->Title and Command->Run a custom command instead
of my shell

I have 'ssh hostname' for "Custom command".

Under this setting, wmctrl does not work. I'm wondering if there is a
walk-around for this problem.

Peng

Re: nees a taskbar locker

Hi,
as far as I know, there is nothing like that in IceWM. But it would be
nice to have more than one menu button on panel and different keyboard
shortcut for each of them.

Locker's main disadvantage is/was no keyboard control -- mouse only. So
it is useless for many users.

Dear list,

Hope some of you are familiar with gnome taskbar locker. sorry if I mention the wrong name but as I recall from memory it is called something like that. It is a very useful feature. You can put your favorite application or alike application in taskbar locker. Say you put filezilla, pidgin, firefox, claws-mail in a locker called net. Now when ever you click on that locker it will expand and you can select any application in that locket to start. Hope I can explain the concept. It is available in Gnome. How can I get that type of locker for icewm ? any clue ?

kaffeine size changing after fullscreen

2009-10-01T17:46:07Z

Hello,

I have Debian lenny. On it, I have icewm built from etch (1.2.29pre1),
and the rest of the stuff native to lenny: Qt 3.3.8b, KDE 3.5.10,
Kaffeine 0.8.7.

(Icewm was built from etch because I was told of the icewm tray bug
that affects lenny and even sid.)

I find that if I set kaffeine to full screen and then back, it will
change size in bizarre ways - sometimes becoming very small, sometimes
very big, and sometimes small one way and big another (like a thin
horizontal or vertical strip).

This does not happen to kaffeine under other WMs. Checked with XFCE.

I found an old bug report on this, closed as Invalid with no explanation:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100031&aid=1567566&group_id=31

Is there a way to fix this? Or a workaround?

(As a workaround I tried setting kaffeine.geometry in winoptions, but
it did not work).

I didn't know that I should use the first one. I thought the entry
"X11::WMCtrl Download - Softpedia" is relevant. I finally figured out
that it is not working. Thank you for your reply!

Peng Yu,

Please try google or use your favorite search engine before posting to the mailing list. A simple search of "wmctrl" would have gotten you exactly what you needed. You have had multiple postings where a quick search would have yielded you exactly what you needed.

The unspoken law of mailing list etiquette is to search before posting.

Please understand I'm just trying to educate and not "flame" you.

Thanks,

This prints the workspace number:

wmctrl -d | awk '$2 == "*" { print $1 }'

If you need the workspace name, try this little script:

============================================================
#!/bin/bash

no=$(wmctrl -d | awk '$2 == "*" { print $1 }')
line=$(grep '^WorkspaceNames=' ~/.icewm/preferences)
IFS=,
names=($line)
name=${names[no]}
name=${name#?}
echo ${name%?}
============================================================

How to get the workspace number from the command line?

2009-09-27T18:38:00Z

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a way to get the workspace name from the
command line. This would be useful when I send an email when a program
finish in a terminal. Based on the workspace name, I can find out the
terminal more easily.

Regards,
Peng

I have no idea how icewm works. Could the developer put this request
in the to-do list?

Unfortunately, changing the message in the po file will change it for
_all_ workspaces. Icewm doesn't support different popup strings for
different workspaces. You could of course try to patch the sources for
that. Good luck!

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?

Peng

OK, now I understand. You can't do that on the fly. 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).

I don't think that you understand what I meant. 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.

Peng

Edit the file ~/.icewm/preferences. 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.

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

2009-09-18T08:23:29Z

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.

Regards,
Peng

Xinerama

2009-09-17T18:38:21Z

Hi,
In ~/.icewm/preferences, i have:

# Primary screen for xinerama (taskbar, ...)
# # XineramaPrimaryScreen=0 # [0-63]
XineramaPrimaryScreen=1

which stopped the task bar from stretching across both
monitors of my dual-head setup.

After a debian apt-get dist-upgrade, it stretches across
both monitors again. How can i stop that?

Hi,

I want to compile icewm-1.2.37, which requires imlib-config. I can not
use any package managing program (such as rpm) to install packages on
my linux system. Can somebody let me know where I can download the

Can somebody also let me know what other packages that icewm depends
