Then, of course, we will need to modify the @import codes in the default config.rasi.

Good morning MX'ers.

This is the second edition of Conkymania for my new " dev punk" desktop theme which I'm building without any methodology, just by overriding everything I could.

Enjoy the paradox



Thank you.

Winter has come to Poland (snowing, -12*C) bringing a solution for sorting rofi drun by categories.













Wanna try it with your rofi?
Just create a categories file in your ~/.config/rofi folder. Here's the content:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

if [ x"$@" = x"Accessories" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Utility,Accessories" -display-drun Accessories
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Office" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Office,TextEditor" -display-drun Office
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Graphics" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Graphics,Image,Photo" -display-drun Graphics
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Games" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Game" -display-drun Games
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Internet" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Network,WebBrowser" -display-drun Internet
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Multimedia" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Music,Sound,Video,Audio,AudioVideo,Multimedia" -display-drun Multimedia
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"MX-Tools" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "MX-Setup,MX-Maintenance,MX-Software,MX-Utilities,MX-Live" -display-drun MX-Tools
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Settings" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Settings" -display-drun Settings
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"Development" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "Development,TerminalEmulator"  -display-drun Development
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"System" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "System" -display-drun System
fi

if [ x"$@" = x"ALL APPS" ];
then
killall rofi
sleep 0.25
rofi -show drun -drun-categories "" -display-drun drun
fi

echo "ALL APPS"
echo "Accessories"
echo "Development"
echo "Graphics"
echo "Games"
echo "Internet"
echo "Multimedia"
echo "MX-Tools"
echo "Office"
echo "Settings"
echo "System"

Edit the modi line your config.rasi file like that:

Code: Select all

modi: "drun,categories:~/.config/rofi/categories"

You can of course edit this code, translate the category-names to your native language or add the Awesome icons to it, change the display-drun names etc for the better effect.

Cool. Very cool...

[Jerry3904]

Truly awesome.

If it's such serious winter in Poland, I don't even want to think about your poor neighbors to the East.

Truly awesome.

If it's such serious winter in Poland, I don't even want to think about your poor neighbors to the East.

A typical day in December in the lowland in Poland is about +2* or 0*C with only a little bit snow. But sometimes we've got a couple of winter days. The photo was taken last year in mountains (there is always a little bit colder), there were 3 or 5 days in December of a real winter with -15*C but January and February was rather warm without any snow at all. I think after a couple of days the winter and snow will be over.

Hello JayM

hello ceeslans, the fbpanel menu is flexible; it takes commands. six of the example entries are not .desktop files.
Application systemmenu is menu. With xfce panel on, the mx menu editor add entry+, turn off xfce panel, turn on fbpanel, there is the added+entry in fbpanel application systmmenu and in Applications Finder menu.

sample: featherpad as a launcher is not on the launchbar, so add to menu. moving apps to a submenu. custom toolbox is the most.list example of favorites, load yours. There is talk of rofi, so it is on the example menu. End session is exit-options.
Modified window menu with right-click on taskbar tab.

On fluxbox i use right-click and middle-click for everything. fbrun too. everything starts with rootmenu.
Just showing things of interest, variety, because my fluxbox desktop is just too empty to be interesting.
i run system tray and notifications in a xfce panel that there is not need to turn on in fluxbox. no tint2. i must watch that [single]systray situation with tint2 and fbpanel tray and xfcepanel and fluxbox systemtray.
MX has a lot of tools and choices.
