[SOLVED] menu at bottom of tinycore
« on: May 01, 2011, 10:06:58 AM »
How does one make the icons on the bottom menu stationary?  The roll-over effects are likely cool, however, they wreck havoc on cataracts.  Thanks.

perhaps the wbarconf menu in the control panel is the solution?

If wbarconf the gui app doesn't let you configure that, you can edit the wbar options in its start file. Can't recall the exact name though.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

~/.wbar
The settings of interest are zoomf, jumpf and nanim.  I think the control panel tool lets you set zoomf, but I've always just locked it down with -zoomf 1.0 -jumpf 0.0 and -nanim 1.

If you want to, you can use some of the other settings to color-highlight the icon under the cursor once you get them to all just hold still.

'-nanim 1 -zoomf 1' works here.
Sure you have restarted wbar to reflect the changes?

Try putting everything on one line?
Perhaps easier if you just try parameters while starting wbar from CLI.

The one to modify is /home/tc/.wbar

You'll have to edit that into ~/.wbar yourself and then right-clicking the wbar on screen isn't enough to really restart it - that just re-reads the icons file.

If you open the wbar tool on the control pannel and just click the "Apply" button it will restart the wbar completely and re read your ~/.wbar file.

FYI wbar is not unique to Tiny Core and can be easily googled for support configuration options.

Perhaps this would be worth to be [part of] a sticky post?
