MX Linux Forum

I think many users don't know what those features do and how they relate to desk and window management. What do iconify and tiling do, and where to edit icon and desker buttons?
There are many open questions. How about making one short video? And, is there an Fvwm respin? A 5-minute video and ...

From there. I hope I pointed you in the right direction.

Thanks for the direction. Several things to be taken into consideration.

Not to waste time, does xystray work or not???? Did some digging. I found rpm package by Fedora. I converted it to a deb package sudo alien --to-deb x_xystray-1.0-6 ...

Question; which Window Manager or Environment you're using; FVWM or GNOME or KDE?

I am using FVWM. Stalonetray is the recommended tray but earlier trayer and xystray were common. Got interested in xystray because it can be copied anywhere, hopefully to /home/<user>/.fvwm. To become part of the ...

I want to replace Stalonetray with Xystray, a simple systray (notification area) for XWindow system.

It says installation is simple: download, untar, make and copy xystray where you like. But make command gives error ...

Version 1.7.0 has feh --bg-scale which scales wallpapers with screen resolution.

This also fixes the problem with tiled wallpaper on different Fvwm versions and also some distros. In the new update, 1.7.2, the startup tests different options. If feh is installed, it handles the wallpapers ...

@rasat did you see Mjaakko's screenshot that he posted on Fvwm Forum? He made one great transparent desk with Fvwm RootTransparent colorset. The window has Picom shadow but all other things and icons are fvwm.

One of the written comments is not correct:
The only down side is that it is the slowest to boot of the four different flavors of Linux that I run. Manjaro, Gecko Rolling, and Cachy OS are all substantially faster to boot.
I don't think @user-hv9sg5pl8b is using MX Linux boot setting but something ...

I tested MX21-Fvwm3-myExt-3.1.4-x64.iso, works well. I am waiting for Kise scripts. For the respin, I suggest to update Fvwm3 to version 1.0.8. In 1.0.6, FvwmConsole has problems. For general use, nobody will notice it. But for script testing.

MAIN FEATURES:
* Desk Launcher (includes): Iconfied Thumbnails, Windows Overview, Tiling, and Work Desk.
* Icon/Application Panel

* Calendar/Day/Time Panel
* 4-button Window Title Bar
* Desker Buttons and Pager
* Page Indicator
* Elegant transparency and shadows.

This is great ...

Thanks, @artytux, didn't know Gwenview resizes images and does quite well. Gimp gives poor quality.
@siamhie, nice Tux collection. The 64x64 png is also there.
