JWM: You are not wrong. It's basically an old school X window manager that you configure through modifying it's config file and .Xresources, .xinitrc, etc. Sure, it's not as easy as a built-in "preferences/settings" widget, but I think for the basics that are in .jwmrc it would easy/feasible/trivial to create one. It's XML so by definition, it's well formed. There are standard X tools like xfontsel, probably color pickers that could be pulled in.

So it's not really a problem, it's part of the distinction between a "Window Manager" and a "Desktop Environment"

CTWM: go to the homepage and it talks about themes. Looking at what is "a theme" you see it's the .ctwmrc config file, .xinitrc to start things and any custom images/icons. One could easily do something similar for jwm.

teo : would you be willing to post your .jwmrc? Your tray configuration looks interesting. I'm assuming the icons on the left side are "click to launch an application" like terminal, web browser?

The system is not just about RAM; the machine has other hardware components like processor cores, clock frequency consumption, temperature, etc. The system internally processes whatever you throw at it, and not everything is visible in Neofetch's details. The RAM display is simply a clue to what the system is consuming.

Can you share what kind of settings you have for monitoring laptop battery, please? I am done with settings and just comparing with Openbox.
 
I try to setup my printer and I use like:
Code: 
<TrayButton icon="hp_logo.png">hp-systray</TrayButton>
<Spacer width="2"/>
but doesn't works:
Code: 
jwm -p
JWM: warning: invalid action: "hp-systray"

If I run hp-systray in terminal than works.

Any help, please?
Thank you.

Try specifying the full path, e.g. /usr/local/bin/hp-systray

If you want the battery icon to appear on the taskbar as shown in the screenshot, you must add the content to the .jwmrc file, within the <StartupCommand> tag

For example:

<StartupCommand>cbatticon</StartupCommand>

Follow the instructions in the Joewing handbook .
