The files here are included to show +you how to write menu-methods, or to copy them to the +window-manager you're maintaining (please check them if you do!) +if you're not interested in all that, but just want to have menus +you're probably better of using any of the window-managers that +work together with menu already (olvwm, fvwm2, afterstep, wm2, pdmenu...) + +The menu-methods in this directory, all use the "!include" feature, which +means, that by changing the definitions in /etc/menu-methods/menu.h, you can +change the look of all menus in all window managers (that use these new +features). + +For more info on the menu-methods themselves, read /usr/share/doc/menu/html. + +Some of the menu-methods in this directory use the "rcfile" stuff +(grep "examplercfile" $f; to see). If they do, then you'll also need to +copy the corresponding system.$wm-menu file to the right directory +(see "examplercfile" def, along with rootdir). + +*************************** +The 9wm window manager: + If you want to get Debian menus, you should type + + /etc/X11/9wm/system.9wmrc --start /Debian + + and the menus will appear in the 9wm menu (mouse 3). + + Also, if you, for example, select Apps/Games/Puzzles/xtriangles, + then, apart from MainMenu, you'll also have an entry for + Apps, Games and Puzzles in your 9wm menu. I don't know + how to fix this (or if it should be "fixed"). |
