This directory contains some configuration files for the debian menu system. These files should be edited to fit with your system and copied to either /etc/menu-methods/ if you are root or to ~/.menu-methods/ as a simple user. * wm-icons.h contains functions that you may used in any "menu method" script. You should edit/check the systemFindIcon function. * wm-icons-data.h contains "data functions" used in wm-icons.h: a map from the "standard sections" and wm-icons icons and a map from packages name to wm-icons icons. * wm-icons-fvwm2rc-menu is a menu-method script for FVWM. You should edit the lines: rootprefix="/usr/local/share/fvwm/debian-menu-system/" userprefix="/.fvwm/debian-menu-system/" replace "/usr/local/share/fvwm/" by the FVWM configuration directory and ".fvwm" by the FVWM user directory. Then, you should add Read debian-menu-system/wm-icons-menu in the configuration file and bind it in some ways e.g.: add: + "menu system%menu/programs.xpm" Popup MenuFvwmDebianMenuSystem in your root menu or add say: Mouse 1 R A Menu MenuFvwmDebianMenuSystem You should also use the configuration file "this dir"/../fvwm2rc * Other window managers: just (copy and rename and) edit the correponding menu methods script; you should add "!include wm-icons.h" and then you can use the functions wmIconsFindSectionIcon($section,$icon,"menu/") for the section icons and wmIconsFindIcon($section,$package,$icon,"menu/") for the application icons. Good luck!
