All icons disappeared from the desktop
I installed two X win managers, afterstep and blackbox..
Blackbox seems to be great but all icons just disappeared after i installed it, or maybe after afterstep was installed.. I also got xicewv or whatever the name is and some other manager too.. Not gnome and KDE tho Are icons put in a special folder somewhere? How do i get them back? Im using slackware (vector) |
there are not desktop icons in blackbox and afterstep
|
oh ok.. blackbox functions without them, no problem there...
but the icons also disappeared from icewm and cde but ill just use blackbox.. Another q; how do i add programs to blackbox's menu? Is it possible without bbconf, i coulndt get that one to install.. |
you need to edit the file
.blackbox/menu in you home directory if you want to add a program you need to add a line like this [exec] (netscape) {netscape} the syntax is [exec] (program name) {command to run program} most of the programs are in submenu's, they are written in this format [submenu] (submenu name) program commands in here as above [end] it will be easy to understand once you look at the file. nb. info should be right but i use fluxbox, it is based on the blackbox code and virtually the same but with a few improvements. i reccommend you try it. |
i don't think icewm or cde have desktop icons either
