Some Ideas #7

Hi, I'm slowly working on creating a antergos jwm configuration so that hopefully even more people start using jwm 😄 anyways I've been doing a lot of research trying to create the ultimate setup and I thought I'd let you know some of the stuff I found out.

1. I've tried all the jwm menu generators and the best one is is called mjwm all you have to do is add:

  <RootMenu onroot="12">
      <!-- Other Menu Entries -->

      <Include>$HOME/.jwmrc-mjwm</Include>

      <!-- Other Menu Entries -->
  </RootMenu>

and then run mjwm && jwm -reload after a new program is installed or removed and all your menus are update automagically 😃 or you can add a menu button like <Program icon="system-restart.svg" label="Reload Menu">mjwm && jwm -reload</Program> and let the user reload the menu whenever they want.

2. The arch wiki on prelink seems to advise against using it.

3. There seems to be a promising currently being developed project to create a JWM Settings Manager to allow users to edit jwm without editing any xml files. The maintainers contact details appear in the Revision ID on this page you may want to get in touch with him about the project status and including it in Manjaro-JWM

P.S. Hope you are enjoying the aerosnap feature from v2.3.6. that was me 😃 If you want I will keep you informed of any other discoveries I make on my journey.

hello, how are you! i'm happy with the growth of JWM. i'm also happy the possibility of having a Antergos with JWM. perhaps i will leave the Manjaro JWM project. i'm in problems with the graphical installer (Calamares) and can not solve. interesting menu manager. but always i liked to let the user edit the menu. always i used the prelink and never had any problems. the maintainer of JWM Settings Manager is Israel. i know he is the maintainer of the ToriOS. i need to see the aerosnap and we will talk.

vlw fwi, Holmes :)
