MX-21 fluxbox beta 2 feedback thread

[Jerry3904]

PPC: great stuff but little time or personnel on this end to pursue for Final as we are all pushing toward an RC so everything except bugs is frozen. But afterwards...!

[Jerry3904]

So Adrian has put through a new Custom Toolbox, the app that underlies Settings Manager, and it looks like it takes care of the resizing problem.

I applied an update (just 1-everything has been up to date) 10 minutes ago but I can't honestly remember what it was. I'm still seeing the problem.

I logged out and back in I think before it took effect.

I've re-booted twice now. When I get the LightDM to show fully, the Network Assistant moves up a row and it's name disappears.

[Jerry3904]

What's your screen resolution? I just use the scroll bar on the right side of the app on small screens.

AMD ATI Radeon R7 240 2GB (1920x1080)

[Jerry3904]

Are you making it wider when that happens?

[siamhie]

Are you making it wider when that happens?

Yes. I just wanted to get the vertical scroll bar to disappear. So I would widen the window until it was gone.

EDIT: here is the MX Tools window and Settings Manager window at the same size. 693x871

I just installed it on my old netbook. Installation took around 40 minutes due to the slowness of this machine but it boots up and seems to work. I'll need to set it up like I had it before with MX-19.4, preventing unneeded services from starting and installing Falkon then configuring Fluxbox to use it instead of Firefox. Meanwhile it doesn't seem to be any slower than MX-19.4 with Fluxbox.

Quick System Info's not being copied to the clipboard if I close the terminal before pasting for some reason, or it is but won't paste. Not sure what's up with that.
