There are new IceWM apps in the latest update, I like the “IceWM remember setting”, to save window position and “IceWM manger” easy way to change the setting.

Thanks Lead Farmer, missed some of the shiny new tools,

still post may be useful for users of older antiX versions
and those who want to know how things work in the background :-).

While I definitely appreciate all of the work that went into each of the tools, and I assisted in their testing, in every day use it’s faster for me to edit and update configuration files; I can get the exact behavior I want and it’s much faster than using any GUI-based tool for someone who has used the configuration files for at least twenty five years (or more!)
