Hi Nio,
I'll give more detailed instructions soon.
I am finishing up some tweaks, and trying to make sure major bugs are 
out of the way initially.

Also, I do not plan on abandoning jwm-settings-manager I mostly mean to 
get something simple and stable that does not require compilation, and 
will run on a variety of platforms using multiple dialogs.
One of the main issues I will face is color choosers that are not yad.
Yad is nice and returns html colors (basically hexidecimal color values).

I will devote time to jwm-settings-manager in the future, but currently 
i have been programming in bash so much that I decided this was the 
easiest way to make something cross architecture that will work 
regardless of distribution (jwm-settings-manager uses cmake which has 
issues with fltk on certain distros)

This will allow us more flexibility (ToriOS as a DE running on any 
distro) and allow the users to hack things, and learn from the OS.

Once I get a few more things in place (basic panel editing) I will send 
an e-mail with more specific testing.  There is a newer version now, but 
I will be rebuilding again periodically.
