Release icewm for pandora

[sirtobi]

Here it is: IceWM WindowManager for Pandora.


I really love IceWM especially on systems with low ressources. It is fast, very free configurable and has a lot off cool themes.


Attached is icewm with graphical installer. Give it a try.


There's no configuration tool in the pnd because they are all outdated. But configuration is easy via $HOME/.icewm/preferences once you copied the configuration over to this place. (The installer could do this for you)


Further short documentation is included as usual...


And last but not least you could have a look at www.icewm.org before trying out this pnd.


Have fun with your fast Pandora ;-)


greetings,

The PND has changed:


- missing new line in gui.conf added


- remove nub setting in startup


- Pandora-Keys opens men now


- added xev to get Keynames

Ok, you hit the first bug, I'll fix it tomorrow.


If you put a line feed before Icewm it should work...

great working now. some more questions:

• can't seem to get nub settings to stick after exiting and re-entering icewm, i use right nub as mouse movement and left as click.
  
• how can we get a pandora menu shortcut from pandora button uncer icewm?
  

thanks!

Hi!


The p-nd is fixed and attached to the first entry now. Sorry for that issue.


For the nub settings. I set them hard in /opt/icewm/bin/start-icewm. I´ll fix it somehow. I'll have to find out where the right values are stored on the pandora...


For the pandora-key: You can address it in the preferences with its XF86-Keycode.


For example:


KeySysMenu="XF86MenuKB"


This will bind it to the Menu-Button. I think I´ll set this switch in the next version...


Have a good night...

I've also added xev now to get the keycodes to configure icewm. You can call it in a xterm...


I removed setting the nubs completly. I had added it because of problems but it seems to work now... I hope vor everybody...


... new pnd above ...


bye;
