Desktop Icon Arrangement 1.8.1 & 1.8.2

[trio]

v1.8: wallpaper is not saved, will set current wallpaper when appllying. compatible with tahr pup also (different wallpaper setter/doesn't register in $HOME/.config/walpaper/bg_img)

see main post.

Note: better if you re-save your existing arrangements

Hello trio.

I'll try to change the script v1.8.1 to allow the user to indicate if he wants to save/restore the wallpaper.
It will be available during the weekend.

Hi Asri,

Hehehe this time I don't agree with you, for these reasons:
1. This spp supposed to manage how the icons are placed, not more. If added a function for wallpaper, next thing you know, it will become Desktop Global Theme Profille Manager (I did that already)
2. I exclude wallpaper when saving intentionally. Because it is kinda strange,when the icons changed and the wallpaper too
3. And I was thinking that if a saved wallpaper is already deleted, when set, rox will give error message

Hello trio,

I understand your point of view.
However, I have some arguments to explain the interest of safeguarding the wallpaper.
One example: at home, I use your utility to offer appropriate interfaces to different users. I have three backups: one for my son and one for my wife and one for me. Icons and wallpapers are different because our needs and aesthetic choices are different.

Desktop Global Theme Profille Manager responds to different needs and is only usable with GTK & JWM.

I modified the script to avoid errors even if the wallpaper was removed.
So I would like to submit you a version 1.8.2. You can obviously ignore it or test it.

Nice app! Some familiar ideas! I picked up a few tips too. And it goes nicely with my own app, which didn't create permanent historical backups of the PuppyPins (until now). I'm going to incorporate some of your efficient code to flesh out my own app.

Cheers!I

Hi stemsee - any chance of a link to your app? Is it publicly released? cheers

Hi greengeek

It's called Nicons (No Icons) for jwm. Rox is used to place the icons.
