MX-Fluxbox 2.0 beta testing thread

Glad you like it, thanks again for the suggestion.

in your startup file, try exporting the gtk variables instead of just making variables. similar to the qt plugin variables.

Do you mean like this?

Code: Select all

export gtk-theme-name="Adwaita"
export gtk-icon-theme-name="hicolor"
export gtk-font-name="Sans 12"

Nope, that makes FB choke and screen cycles back to login.

might as well take them out then, because they are not doing anything.

[dolphin_oracle]

is there a reason for the crazy launch command for apt-notifier?

[Jerry3904]

I checked that with Kent, and he said it was good. Took it right off Application Autostart IIRC

I have the doc set so that it starts automatically on logon. However, every time I log on, the icons on the dock appear in a different order. Is there any way to ensure that the dock always starts with the icons in a set order, preferably the order that you want them to appear?

[Jerry3904]

Not the way we have it. The fluxbox documentation talks about how to do it if you set it up yourself. Don't have that reference right now but I think it's one of the links at the end of the Help document (F1).

I had that very same problem when testing wmalauncher, David, Jerry...
The way I solved was adding a sleep command after each wmalauncher command (if you want to be on the safe side, add it also before the first command). Sleep 0.5 works, you may try with a ever smaller value.
Example:
wmalauncher --command firefox --icon /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/apps/firefox.svg & sleep 0.5 &&
wmalauncher --command thunar --icon /usr/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/apps/thunar.svg & sleep 0.5 &&

That would be cool, thanks

Just discovered that I can lock the 4 beautiful default Moka icons in place by changing the line in ~/.ideskrc

Code: Select all

locked false

to

Code: Select all

locked true

I would like to do this b/c it is so easy to get them out of line when clicking them. But then all iDesk icons would be locked in place until the user changed the line back again.

Hmmm, what to do?

LATER: going to do it, users can always delete the icons and start again using mx-idesktool
