wbar question

[UUUnicorn]

Please, I downloaded and installed (through Software Manager) wbar, but it is not showing up on my desktop.

I have Linux Mint 9 "Isadora" Xfce.

Please, any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,

UUUnicorn

wbar is a CLI app. It is launched and controlled from terminal. Open a terminal and enter "man wbar" (without quotes) for a list of commands and options.

When wbar is started from terminal (command "wbar"), it will only run as long as the terminal is open. When you have the bar set up the way you want it, go to Menu=>Preferences=>Startup Applications and add a launcher for wbar to start automatically at boot. The launch command will be "wbar + (whatever option suffixes are needed)".

Hello,
here is my wbar command line used in fluxbox (Linux Mint 10 Main, with fluxbox 1.3.0 as alternative window manager):

wbar -above-desk -isize 36 -zoomf 1.8 jumpf 0.5 -bpress -balfa 50 -falfa 70 -nanim 3

In the "help" as previous stated by Aging Technogeek you will find the significance of the items. Just a remarque: -above-desk MUST be in command line to have wbar visible. There is also wbarconf, a program that help to add comands and icons in wbar:

Hope it works!
