To see more options for wbar, type wbar -h. Made all the difference for me once I knew the options.

I don't get any options from this command. My semper noobians status confirmed :D

<CLI_output>
  ~$ wbar -h
  Using /home/tc/.wbar config file.
  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*'
  Aborted
</CLI_ouput>

That is all I get trying to restart wbar or ask it for options: Aborted.

What I would like is to reduce the number of applications showing icons. Don't like the clutter.

I like having a few icons there, but mostly I call apps from command line or menu.

As I do like some, noicons is not a good choice. have tried reversing the procedures for adding icons to wbar, but no success -- s'pose I read those instructions wrong.

I hate to ask for someone to throw me a line, but if you could just point me to the appropriate set of instructions I would be happy to sharpen my own pea-brain  :P

Thanks!

wbar entries are rebuilt at every boot from the entries found in /usr/local./tce.icons. I stopped using the defaults and made my own wbar configs using noicons and invoking wbar in ~/.xsession.
Code: [Select]
wbar -bpress -vbar -pos right -nofont -config /home/tc/.mywbar/tce.wbar >/dev/null
