Documentation missing to replace clock icon about nscde HOT 4 CLOSED

FrontPanel.actions on page 27 of the NsCDE.pdf should explain how to add custom applets by editing $FVWM_USERDIR/FrontPanel.actions. This should work for you, assuming you are on x86_64 Linux.

Btn1,__APPLET__,M1,"Swallow (Respawn) \\"pclock\\" \\"Exec exec $NSCDE_ROOT/bin/fpclock-Linux_x86_64 -H red -S white --hands-width=4 --hour-hand-length=15 --minute-hand-length=20 --second-hand-length=22 -w -B $HOME/.icons/DtEarth.l.xpm\\",Exec exec firefox

... of course, replace "Exec exec firefox" with with whatever you want, and restart Front Panel, or complete FVWM.

I have found someware my old DtEarth.l.xpm in 48x48 format suitable for pclock background. Here it is. Maybe I should include it in icon dir in the next release, together with this FrontPanel.actions line above as example in the docs. Ungzip before usage, github does not like XPM ...
SDtEarth.l.xpm.gz

Thanks a lot for providing more details. What I've found out so far about fpclock:

ERR: pixmap must be 64x64

So I think including SDtEarth.l.xml wouldn't help that much, as long as it's not provided in 64x64 pixel.

Wrong XPM. Try again. I have replaced attachment. You can also refresh pending_release with git. I have put it in $NSCDE_ROOT/share/icons/NsCDE.

Thanks a lot. It works perfectly. Only for the record my current entry:

Btn1,__APPLET__,M1,"Swallow (Respawn) \\"pclock\\" \\"Exec exec $NSCDE_ROOT/bin/fpclock -H red -S white --hands-width=4 --hour-hand-length=15 --minute-hand-length=20 --second-hand-length=22 -w -B $FVWM_USERDIR/icons/NsCDE/SDtEarth.l.xpm\\",Exec exec firefox-bin

I will close this issue. Thanks again :-)
