My understanding about the warning is that it tries to warn the user about a mistake he's doing. The user is saying "I want wmaker to ignore the client icon and use the icon I set up for it". But at the same time he's not saying which icon wmaker is supposed to use instead (ie empty textbox). > So I think the option should only be enabled when the file textbox is > set and disabled if the user removes the file. No, the option should be enabled when the user ticks the option and disabled otherwise. It's supposed to be simple and have no correlation to the textbox. However, if the user ticks the 'ignore' option but does not define which icon to use, that's a mistake and it better be warned. No? -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
