Open this file in the editor (geany):
/root/.jwmrc-tray

Add after the tag <JWM>:

Code: Select all

<Tray autohide="false" height="50" x="0" y="0" halign="center">
	<TrayButton icon="www48.png">exec:/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser</TrayButton>
	<TrayButton icon="edit48.png">exec:/usr/local/bin/defaulttexteditor</TrayButton>
</Tray>
Look in "/root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin" for the icons you want in your top panel.

Restart JWM to see the result:
Terminal:
# jwm -restart

Download launchbar.pet (look for it with the puppysearch in my sig) and install it.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's puppysearch
