Panel Icons right click behaviour

#1 Post by vp_72 »

Hi all, I just wondering if there is a way to change the right click response for those icons on the panel, instead of showing "Launcher, Properties, Move, Remove and panel" options, it could show the options for a specific app, in example for a web browser, could it be "open a new window, open a new private window"
Thanks!

That's the only behavior one gets with xfce4-panel, unfortunately. I also wish there was a way to get the auxiliary actions into a right-click menu, for things like "open a new private window". My workaround is to add more launchers, or use one launcher with multiple entries that do actions like "open a new private window".

You may also choose some other stand-alone dock (like cairo or plank), but above-mentioned combination will blend nicely with xfce4 panel.
DockbarX and the plugin should be in the Test Repo still... not the Main repo.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy dockbarx
dockbarx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.93+git20190103-1~mx19+1
  Version table:
     0.93+git20190103-1~mx19+1 500

        500 http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo buster/main i386 Packages
Well, I'll be damned, it is. When I packaged it, it was in the Test Repo, and I didn't ask for it to get moved lol.
