Soad Linux

[Jetbird]

Hello!

I have Soad Linux installed. E17 environment really works fast for me. But I have a question, how do the one make window manager to be more feature filled? For example other e17 Linux distributions has a full path of file directory on the window tools frame so you can simply click on any directory from this list like "Home/Media/Movies" and you are brought back to the selected directory (Home for example). I managed to find how to enable it, but that section of windows manager doesn;t seem to work well, it is too small horizontally so in order to see other directories the one has to click small arrows and scroll. Resizing doens;t allow to make it bigger, how could I fix that?.

Also how do the one make the mounted mediums list on the left, similar like in gnome windows manager? I found a control panel which lets you choose between KDE, Gnome and LXDE (I think) for e17 But changing between them doesn't seem to change anything. Yes I rebooted the pc so it could take the effect, but no changes were made.

If you would happen to have any recommendations I would be very grateful if you could share them.
Thank you for your time!

Hello and welcome to the forums!

I'm not familiar at all with Soad Linux, and some digging around at DistroWatch.com revealed nothing about it. Can you tell us more?

Regarding increasing window manager features, a window manager should have the same features in one distro that it has in another, unless the distro developers have patched the WM or compiled it to include certain features that otherwise wouldn't be present. Many developers will consider patches if you submit them for their consideration, and if they like the idea they might add your patch to the window manager in a future release.
