2 Close Buttons (icewm)

[zGoRNz]

<flame>icewm is the best wm</flame>
but i always get anoyed that to close a window i gotta go all the way to the right side.
so i switched to the left, then got anoyed with that too.

so i tried editing my pref file to have close on both sides, then the title bars we screwed up and the one on the left didn't work

so i went to the source, the icewm source

I never use the hide button so i used that as my victium, but you can use any.

in file icewm-1.0.5/src/wmframe.cc
line 129

it reads:
fHideButton = new YFrameButton(fTitleBar, this, actionHide, actionHide);

if we change the first actionHide to actionClose, and put the hide button on our window title, we can now close from the hide button or the close button!

and i don't even know why but it even gets the close icon!

kick butt

Icons are probably assigned by button action... You may want to write the IceWM team, and ask them about the possibility of having multiple buttons of the same type on titlebars in future releases.

Yes, icewm is very cool.

(y'know, you can just hit alt-F4 to close anything, just like in Windows)

[zGoRNz]

depending on your config it might not be alt f4, mine is alt-w (like the /mac/, it's easy to hit, alt-e rollsup, alt-r maximize, it's all good)

but if the window isn't active then you gotta move the mouse a long way....

Or you can just switch to it using the keyboard...
