IceMe

---

A graphical menu editor for IceWM written in Python and GTK.

Features

• Tree editing with Drag'n'Drop and Cut'n'Paste
• Shortcut editor
• Icon selection dialog
• Tries to mimic IceWM's idea of getting icon resources as closely as possible
• Edit the "menu", "programs", "toolbar" and "keys" files
• You can either edit the local menu in your home or the global menu (usually in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm; IceMe searches for it!)
• GPL

Requirements

• IceWM 0.94 or higher
• Python 1.5.2 or higher
• GTK+ 1.2.6 or higher
• PyGTK 0.6.6 or higher!

PyGTK is a python module with bindings for GTK+.

Attention! Most Linux distributions (RedHat, SuSE) only provide the old version pygtk-0.6.4, which will not work. You can get a Linux/i386 RPM for the newest stable version pygtk-0.6.6 here (source: here).

• Runs on any Unix (hopefully!)

Download

• Binary: iceme-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
• Source: iceme-1.0.0.tar.gz

Notes

• Documentation is not yet done, and maybe never will, sorry. But I think the program should be pretty self explaining.
• Please send suggestions, bug reports and comments to Dirk Möbius <dmoebius@gmx.net>.
