Hi Paulo
I think you want to use the download option in Apps, then replace jwm.tcz with jwm-snapshot.tcz in your onboot.lst.

Files in jwm.tcz and jwm-snapshot.tcz have the same paths, so it might not be easy to switch in a clean way without reboot.

OK I think I got it.
Download snapshot
modify onboot.lst
save and reboot.

Thank you.

Oh, BTW you can keep your config files, they should be compatible (not absolutely sure about .jwmrc-theme).

Hooray, all sorted.
jwm-snapshot.tcz did the trick.
Thanks for all the help guys.

I did some search in change logs, and it looks like the version of jwm-snapshot.tcz as found in repo is 4 years old and predates jwm.tcz by 2 1/2 years.

Rather unexpected that fullscreen would work in the former while not in the latter...

Hi tinypoodle

Something in the newer version definitely got broken as the old version as per jwm-snapshot works very well
so too does the older jwm found in Puppy Linux 4.3.1

I also noticed that the older jwm has been compiled with more options which the newer version does not have.
If memory serves me correctly, xinerama is one of them.
If you do a jwm -version you will see what I mean.
Perhaps the exclusion of one or some of these options created the problem?

I don't believe that xinerama compile option could influence fullscreen in context of a single screen.
