Hi Nio, I ran a few commands to help things along in the vdi you posted.... sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade this will install the new jwm-settings-manager 2.0 so trusty will be a bit experimental at this point.. though AFAIK 2.0 works at least as well as 1.1+ It works much better in some areas than the old version, and may be missing some things that sort of worked in the 1.X branch I also ran cp -R /etc/skel/.config/* ~/.config cp /etc/skel/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/ sudo cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0 /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc then logout and log back in to test a nicer looking version :) you might need to also cp /etc/skel/.jwmrc ~/. since the menus are different. This will make firstrun show up the first time, but you can close it if you like and move on. -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev Post to : torios-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
