Toolbar icons deletion

macondo@foo:~$ cat /usr/share/icewm/toolbar
# This is an example for IceWM's toolbar definition file.
#
# Place your variants in /etc/X11/icewm or in $HOME/.icewm
# since modifications to this file will be discarded when you
# (re)install icewm.
#
prog XTerm xterm x-terminal-emulator
#prog FTE fte fte
#prog Netscape netscape netscape
prog   "gvim" /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/vim.xpm /usr/bin/gvim -f
prog   "Iceweasel" /usr/share/pixmaps/iceweasel.xpm iceweasel

It doesn't show the entries for the icons:
Quit
Control Center
Volume (abs)
Text editor
Show Desktop

I only want to leave the ones for the absvolume and iceweasel, did the devs forget to enter them in the /icewm/toolbar file? It looks like it was never touched. It shows fte, netscape, gvim, etc.

Thanks bud, but it has very little to do with .icewm/preferences, i already got:
TaskBarShowShowDesktopButton=0

here's the rest of them:
OpaqueMove=0
OpaqueResize=0
SmartPlacement=1
MenuMouseTracking=1
ModSuperIsCtrlAlt=1
UseMouseWheel=1
QuickSwitch=1
AutoReloadMenus=1
ShowProgramsMenu=1

the icons i'm talking about are antiX's.

This is what the default antix file should like:

Code: Select all

# This is a default toolbar definition file for IceWM
#
# Place your personal variant in $HOME/.icewm directory.

#prog"Home Folder" folder rox
prog"Home Folder" folder pcmanfm
#prog"Terminal" xterm rxvt-unicode -tr -sh 65 -fg white
prog"Terminal" xterm roxterm
prog"Text Editor" /usr/share/icons/OxygenRefit2-black-version/32x32/apps/accessories-text-editor.png leafpad
prog"Browser" iceweasel.png /usr/bin/iceweasel
prog"Volume" /usr/share/icons/OxygenRefit2-black-version/32x32/apps/multimedia-volume-control.png absvolume
prog"Control Center" //usr/share/icons/OxygenRefit2-black-version/32x32/categories/applications-system.png antixcc.sh
prog"Quit" /usr/share/icons/OxygenRefit2-black-version/32x32/apps-extra/gnome-panel-force-quit.png exitantix.sh

Well, I changed the icons a bit, but otherwise it's the default layout. So maybe yours didn't get copied properly during installation? Maybe anti could explain why the default file didn't get copied to ~/.icewm/toolbar.

It is in the ~/.icewm/toolbar file not /usr/share/icewm folder

anti: you're right, my bad, my apologies __{{emoticon}}__
Thanks for the clarification.

PD: I commented the ones i didn't want on the toolbar, but the 'Show Desktop' icon is not there (which i wanted to comment), so i had to leave it on the toolbar.
Thanks again.

For many/most icewm themes the"show desktop" icon is a breed of it's own....not sure why...another one of those strange little icewm idiosyncracies. In many themes you can find it in the particular theme in the taskbar folder...e.g. /usr/share/icewm/themes/bluecrystal/taskbar/showdesktop.xpm

You can change it to something else or even eliminate it. I've noticed a small artifact in the toolbar when eliminating it with light colored toolbars.

Thanks impuwat

If you don't want to display the"show desktop" icon, you need to edit ~/.icewm/preferences. Around line 235.

Code: Select all

#  Show 'show desktop' button on taskbar
# TaskBarShowShowDesktopButton=1 # 0/1

Thanks John: the thing is that i already have it disabled:

Code: Select all

TaskBarShowShowDesktopButton=0

In Debian, this icon does not appear once you have it disabled, is this an antiX thing?

Check your icewm theme's default.theme file. Sometimes the author has icewm preferences within the file and if so, they will override your ~/.icewm/preferences file. For example, the icegil grey theme has these preferences within the default.theme file:

Code: Select all

MenuMouseTracking=1 
ShowMenuButtonIcon=1
