Playing with @sleekmason's 'random wallpaper changer'.
The script allows 'random-setting' of wallpapers at a selected time interval.
Still finetuning it for use within my mxfb setup, setting up the keybinds for starting and exiting the script action, should be easy peasy.
...Fun!

Now with an alternative yad-script version, setting an icon in the systemtray.
Leftclicking the icon tells feh to randomly fast-flip through - and instantly set a background from the selected image folder.
Rightclicking invokes a menu, from where an interval time can be set for the random wallpaper changer.
Works a treat...

@@Jerry3904 forgot to put gtk-menu-images=1 in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini in Flux respin.
That's why you couldn't see the icons in right click menu for the script to shuffle desktop backgrounds.

Code: Select all

cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini 
[Settings]
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-cursor-theme-name=breeze_cursors

Hey Misko, how nice to see you around! Not sure what you're talking about here, or why I would want to use breeze as theme, but I'll take a look.

What do you think of of the respin more generally...?

Nice to know you are still here Jerry.
I haven't tried it yet. I think I had glimpse of it even before the release,
when that icon configuration script for iDesk, if I remember the name correct, was in the early alpha stage.

Going for maximum desktop real estate. I've got three tint2 panels going. Far left is the apps panel, dead center is the transparent toolbar and far right is the systray. Up top is a simple conky with just enough info needed.

This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

Well, it seems that you can enable/disable this 'gtk-menu-images=1' setting, by ticking the box for "show icons in menu" in the 'other' tab of lxappearance. It could well be that this setting is enabled by default in mx-fluxbox ...
Anyway, am pleased that the issue is now resolved for me: icons are showing up correctly in the yad-notification menu - as you can see in above screen grab

My simple-minded approach to a beautiful FB desktop using a NASA image and recoloring the rootMenu with the new "MX Comfort" tool from @Melber that is coming through today with mxfb-accessories.
