Other Help Topics :: Icons gone after install icewm.dsl

have you copied /usr/share/icewm/preferences to ~/.icewm?

i just found out in preferences there is a line:
WorkspaceNames=" 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 "
i added ,"b", "c"
and to my surpise i had 2 more desktops

Great! I've added 5 en 6!, Strange thing though, after a while (or when i check my mail on workspace 4), i end up on workspace 3 (which remains "empty"/i can't assign applications to that workspace)

good morning,

Strange!.
i dont use more the 1 workspace.

just for test i altered preferences to:
WorkspaceNames=" 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 ", "fm", "net"
when id do: icemenu - Logout - Restart Icewm
i get 2 more workspacebuttons with "fm" and "net" on then

altered winoptions to:
emelfm.icon:folder
emelfm.workspace: 4
aterm.icon:xterm
aterm.workspace: 3

when i start emelfm it opens in workspace "fm"
when i start atem it opens in workspace "4"
press on button "fm" i get workspace with emelfm
press on button "4" i get dsl-terminal
press on button "1" i get firefox so i can keep typing this

in preferences i see there are keys ( KeySysWorkspace1="Alt+Ctrl+1" to KeySysWorkspace1="Alt+Ctrl+]") so it is clear icewm is designed to have at least 12 workspaces.

maybe you can change preferences:
TaskBarShowAllWindows=1 #0 # 0/1
just for test so you can see all programs running on the taskbar and if one is missing find whats wrong
