How to create your own menu

Puppy uses JWM (Joes Windows manager) as windows manager. You can adapt JWM to your needs. If you want to change the program-menu follow these commands:

Start the program "Menu | File managers | puppyROX file manager"

Change to the directory /root

Click on the symbol "Show all files"

Right-click on the file .jwmrc and select "Open As Text". The .jwmrc-file is opened with Geany text editor now.

Edit the file. The file .jwmrc has the following structure:

Save the file and quit Geany.

Restart JWM: "Menu | Shut Down | JWM restart"

Hint: installing a new PetGet program rebuilds your programs menu automatically. This will overwrite your personal settings, so if you want to keep them, backup your /root/.jwmrc file beforehand and restore the settings after the installation.
