Especially autostart (which isn't handled by > /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop files) I like to separate things into various files, so the structure could be ~/.jwmrc ~/.tori/panel ~/.tori/autostart ~/.tori/windows ~/.tori/keyboard etc... And in the .jwmrc we'd just need something like: <Include>~/.tori/panel</Include><!-- configuration for the Panel(s)-->
It is really fairly easy to configure. http://www.joewing.net/projects/jwm/config.shtml for autostart you need something like: <StartupCommand>rox -p ToriSession</StartupCommand> Though I do want to have a GUI configuration tool. the .jwmrc file is an XML file so we can parse it with an XML parser. I have been trying to work on an FLTK/TinyXML program, but I am not extremely good at programming yet, and have run into some issues... If there is a programmer around who knows C++ really well, we can work on something for this. Isn't Alex the lead developer/programmer? >> 1.

Could be better. I don't like that it says 'Debian' not that I dislike Debian. I suppose we could download the source for that and modify it to put things in different categories, etc.. I do think the Debian menu has a bit too many categories/subcategories. >> Maybe you think of the menu in the OBI-9w system of Ubuntu minimal text >> only system that comes with >> >> http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/9w/obi_Trusty-npae124-txt4-9w.iso >> >> as described in >> >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w >> >> That installer is independent of ToriOS, but the same idea can be >> applied (to ToriOS). >> >> >> 2.

I will check this out, when I get some time to.

But decisions should be made by Ali > (hope you are healthier now :D ). Any volunteers on this? I think we need to divide the 'branding' tasks into smaller portions. One task will be *_configuring JWM_* to our likings. It will be easy to include this, as it will only need to install to the $HOME So I think some _design mockups _would be nice. If we aren't going to have a GUI to configure it, we need to make sure it looks AWESOME out of the box. We could potentially make a ~/.tori/theme which could have one include... something like ~/.tori/themes/default Which could have the colors of the panel, and windows, etc... and have a GUI that simply runs a script that grep/sed the .jwmrc to use a different scheme, and restarts JWM. Any thoughts? The other tasks would be***_Icons _*what icon theme do we use? We should try to avoid one that is in use by another Distro (at least a major one). Sam Hewitt has a pretty popular Moka theme that a lot of people seem to really like. Or there is Numix. I'd like to avoid using Lubuntu's Box theme, because it is a part of their specific 'branding' even though I like it quite well. *_Desktop backgrounds_* should be simple to do, as I have quite a few photos that I think are nice that I have taken myself. I am sure others on this list have some things they can contribute. We can also hold a contest for Backgrounds at some point. I would like to avoid using the logo as our background, since it most likely will be the Apllication menu button *_Plymouth Theme_*, of course :) *_GTK theme_*... there are so many available in the Ubuntu repos, and so many in places like gnome-look.org etc... We should choose a really nice one that fits with our color scheme. *_COLOR SCHEME_*!!! What colors are we using? Black, Red, White, Grey? I like those colors. Here is a mockup :) > > Regards, Jörn >
