I didn't know the new mx-tweak had a preview. I'll try it out later. I kind of figured overlay would be edited by GUI.

Oh, you're talking about the All Apps menu, I forget. To get that we should need to edit the desktop file, hence my question. I'll put it on my list.

3. Addition of Appearance > Font, using a lost little app that needs updating of form and content--and perhaps an eventual expansion

Code: Select all

  [Exec] (Font) {mxfb-menufont} 

I didn't know this app even existed!
Just for info, I have started fiddling...
So far options to override fluxbox style font settings for window title, menu title and menu text.
Changing gtk-font setting still to come.

Terrific, thanks!

[kobaian]

But what about the fonts within application window (gtk/qt) that are managed by lxappearance?

[edit]
Ok, sorry. I see now the answer - work in progress.

I'm not seeing it. Is the menu entry not included yet?

@siamhie In development, not packaged/released yet.
@i_ri Lots of possibilities to be sure, but not for default IMO.

Thanks for the update to the font app @Jerry3904. I only want to test what's available to us.
