RE:
cd /usr/share/wallpaper/ ; mywallpaper=$(yad --file --width=800 --height=600 --add-preview --text ="Selecione imagem ou texto:":FL "@kill -USR1 YAD_PID" --file-filter="Image Files (*.jpg *.jpeg)| *.jpg *.JPG *.jpeg *.JPEG *.png *.PNG") ; echo $mywallpaper ; mywallpaper_conf="DesktopBackgroundImage = \""$mywallpaper"\"" ; echo $mywallpaper_confI copied this code and checked it out from the command line. Just copying it and pasting, then running it in a terminal, it worked fine.
I also tried, while still in the script, navigating to another folder, my own personal ~/Pictures folder, and that also worked.Thanks for the quick wallpaper switching script; it’s handy and it works.

Hi Brian … You’re welcome.
PPC
There are some important zzzfm features that need my attention, but my focus went to fixing and adding a few more features to the IceWM Manager GUI script:
Fixes:
– It now always starts maximized
– The function to change Themes is not perfect, but I removed a bug that allowed for an empty space at the top of the list of available Themes, that had unforeseen effects, if clicked…New features:
– Added a “Show collapse button” to the toolbar toggle – this is very handy on small screens, like netbooks, or screens with low resolution- it allows the toolbar to be rolled up instantly to the lower right side of the screen, releasing screen real-state without “auto-hiding” the toolbar.
– Added a not so well named “Show only used network devices”- what this does is fix the default Icewm toolbar configuration, that shows “info squares” for each of the available technologies to connect to a network- if your computer has a Ethernet card and a Wi-Fi card, by default, the system tray will show a square with info on each of those cards- which for me, does not make sense- most people only use a kind of network connect at a time (either cable or wireless connection). This option, when on, makes the toolbar display only info on the network connection technology that is being used – releasing a bit of toolbar space and making the info squares easier to read (by default I use only 2: network and CPU/RAM/SWAP)Note: if this new version of the script is accepted by anticapitalista, the names of the 2 new buttons will have to be localized- thankfully, this is easy, since all text is inside variables- this means only 2 new texts will have to be localized, no further change is needed. To get the correct translation for “Collapse Toolbar”, please run the script and enable that feature. If you over the mouse over the arrow that appears next to the toolbar clock, a tool-tip will show the exact translation for that feature…
Please test the new script, the only changes are those referred above, everything else remains the same.

I downloaded the file and tried most of the options; only omitted one or two that I’ve definitely checked before (that didn’t appear to be changed). In any case, it looks good to me, it does come up maximized, explicitly tested the “Show only used network devices” and “Show collapse button” to the toolbar toggle. I think I clicked everything now too; my use cases all work.
Hopefully others test too in case 1) I missed anything or 2) the behavior differs, depending on equipment.
Anyway, looks good to me!

I also ran the other icewm-manager-gui from my 03-21 test instance. It still works, and I noted that by default it comes up in a much smaller size, so that’s one of the 3-4 differences between the tools; for my needs, either of them get the job done; nice to have the choice and now I do since I kept both of them.
