<H2><A NAME="s10">10.</A> <A HREF="IceWM-FAQ.html#toc10">Example: configuration A-Z</A></H2>
<P>This is sample of possible configuration you need to do to have IceWM
running with all you need. Following applies for RedHat(9). Placement of files can be
bit different.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss10.1">10.1</A> <A HREF="IceWM-FAQ.html#toc10.1">X window login</A>
</H2>
<P>To have possibility to switch to IceWM in GDM greeter (after start to runlevel 5 = Xwindow),
then you need to do following things:</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>Add to <CODE>/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/</CODE> (gdm is default greeter) file <CODE>IceWM</CODE> with content
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
#!/bin/bash
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession icewm
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</LI>
<LI>Modify <CODE>/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession</CODE> to understand what "icewm" is (this is not necessary)</LI>
<LI>Add to <CODE>/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/</CODE> file <CODE>Xclients.icewm</CODE> with content
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/local/bin/icewm-session
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss10.2">10.2</A> <A HREF="IceWM-FAQ.html#toc10.2">IceWM configuration</A>
</H2>
<P>To configure all of IceWM options go to sections about configuration.</P>
<P>Generally all you need to customize IceWM globaly, is to edit <CODE>/usr/local/share/icewm/preferences</CODE> etc.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss10.3">10.3</A> <A HREF="IceWM-FAQ.html#toc10.3">Additional applications</A>
</H2>
<H3>Icons on desktop</H3>
<P>Usually people want to have icons on desktop. One of most simple applications that can
satisfy this need is <CODE>idesk</CODE> (see Tools to find it). I personaly recommend
to use 0.3.x version - this has almost no requirements and is really simple.</P>
<P>Configuration of idesk is almost as easy as configuration of IceWM, but has one disadvantage:
idesk does not have in version 0.3.x global configuration file - therefore each user needs to
have proper configuration file in his/her home.</P>
<P>To configure idesk you need to:
<UL>
<LI>Add <CODE>~/.ideskrc</CODE> file with content like this
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
table Config
FontName: Helvetica
FontSize: 9
FontColor: #ffffff
PaddingX: 35
PaddingY: 25
Locked: true
HighContrast: false
Transparency: 50
Shadow: true
ShadowColor: #000000
ShadowX: 1
ShadowY: 1
Bold: false
end
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</LI>
<LI>Add <CODE>~/.idesktop</CODE> directory</LI>
<LI>Add <CODE>whatever.lnk</CODE> files into it, with content like this
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
table Icon
Caption: Mozilla
Command: mozilla
Icon: /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-icon.png
X: 22
Y: 13
end
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</LI>
<LI>Do not forget you need to start idesk at the beginning of the session.
Best to achieve this is using your <CODE>~/.icewm/startup</CODE> file (for details see Configuration section).
In case of idesk you can add line:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
idesk > /dev/null & # start idesk - desktop icon manager
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<H3>Control tools</H3>
<P>To have some "control center" like application you can use Vadim A. Khohlov's <CODE>icecc</CODE> -
IceWM Control center. (see Tools to find it) His utility is also very simple, fast and has editors
for all of the IceWM options.</P>
<P>To integrate it into menu you have to edit <CODE>/usr/local/share/icewm/menu</CODE> and add there line like this
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
prog "Control Center" "icecc_icon" icecc
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>Please note that icecc needs some other programs like gvim and python to work properly.</P>
