Hi Mark!

I am having a problem with my Deskbar. I still have the folders
Applications, Demos, Desktop applets and Preferences, but they are
empty. They are also no longer blue and point to their folder in
home/
config/settings/deskbar/menu.
The Deskbar entries are a virtual union of what's in:
1. /system/data/deskbar/menu/
2. ~/config/data/deskbar/menu/
(both read-only, virtually filled by hpkg packages)
3. ~/config/settings/deskbar/menu/
(writable, for you to augment what's been virtually filled by
those
hpkg packages)
There's another mode, where you by-pass this automatism of hpkg-
filled
entries. Then those folders in the Deskbar are no longer blue, which
suggests that you triggered just that.
This manual mode, where only appears in the Deskbar what you put in
~/config/settings/deskbar/menu/ is activated by placing a link to the
"menu" folder named "menu_entries" there. Clearer described as:
ln -s ~/config/settings/deskbar/menu ~/config/settings/deskbar/
menu_entries
If you have that link, for whatever reason, deleting it should bring
you back to auto-mode.
It's described in the user guide, which has yet to be exported to
show
up in trunk and the website. And yes, customizing the deskbar like
this should be part of the Deskbar prefences eventually. :)
Hope that helped!
I was hoping it would be something as simple as that, but I don't
appear to have that link. In ~/config/settings/deskbar I only have the
menu folder (and a few settings files).
I aslo tried changing the deskbar settings hoping something would be
off there, but that also does not seem to help.
Kind regards,
Mark
