NAME

icemc -- Edits IceWM menus and toolbars

SYNOPSIS

icemc

DESCRIPTION

icemc allows you to easily edit IceWM menu and toolbar

files.

When you first run icemc, it presents you with an empty

document. Choose File->Open and open either ~/.icewm/menu or

~/.icewm/toolbar. Even though they're visually very different,

menus and toolbars are edited in exactly the same way.

If these files or the ~/.icewm directory don't exist, then

you need to create your local preferences. First mkdir ~/.icewm,

then cp /etc/X11/icewm/* ~/.icewm.

Now, make your changes. To add an item, right-click on

the item you'd like it to go after and select either Insert Ap

plication or Insert Folder. If you're editing a menu, Insert

Folder inserts a submenu. If you're editing a toolbar, Insert

Folder inserts a drawer. You can drag the items to rearrange

them, and right-click->delete to get rid of them. To duplicate

an item instead of moving it, hold down control when you drag.

The text boxes in the bottom part of the screen specify

the name, icon, and command for each application.

Name Name can be pretty much anything. It will be

displayed in the toolbar if IceWM can't find the icon for the

item.

Icon You may use icons from anywhere on your hard

drive -- they don't need to be located in

/usr/lib/X11/icewm/icons. However, they must be in .xpm format,

and follow the proper naming convention: iconname_16x16.xpm (or

32x32 or 48x48). If icewm was compiled with --use-imlib (like

icewm-gnome), then the icons may be in just about any popular

graphics format.

Exec This tells how to run the command. It is not

necessary to specify a full path, but if you supply one, IceWM

will use it. You may also specify any number of command-line ar

guments. If icemc is displaying an item in red, it means that

IceWM will not be able to find it. Either you should add it to

your $PATH or you should refer to it with an absolute path.

When you're satisfied, save the file, quit icemc, and

restart IceWM. You can now use your new menus.

OPTIONS

icemc doesn't accept options on the command line.
