Hello Everyone.
Just for the fun of it a minimalist Mac Os layout, featuring fluxbox and fbpanel...
- GTK theme: Matcha Sea (light & dark)
- Icon theme: Simply Circle (white & black) + some custom icons
- Wallpaper: "minimalist_water-green_strawberry"

That is a lot of fun, thanks for posting.

@purplemoon That looks great.
Are both toolbars (top- and bottom) fbpanel bars? Does fbpanel allow executors, like in tint2?
Would appreciate if you could kindly share its configuration file(s) - thanks a lot

@ceeslans
Yes, both panels are fbpanel. To save space, the bottom bar is set to hide, as there are no options for autohide.
As for executors, the output of a command / script can be displayed via the "genmon" plugin. I use it to display the name of the current focused window and the title of the songs played in Clementine.

Requirements:
- I use Simply Circle icons. If you use another theme, some icons might be missing and the items using these might not be visible/work or break the configuration.
- You also need "xdotool" to display the focused window name in the panel...
- and "gxmessage" for the session scripts to work as intended.

Folders & Files:
- "my_scripts" folder goes into ~/.fluxbox/ (logout scripts)
- "mediaplayer.py"goes into the "home" folder (music player script -- clementine (& audacious, vlc...)
- fbpanel config files go into ~/.config/fbpanel/
- "fbp_icons_dark/light" folders go into ~/.config/fbpanel/

Fluxbox-remote actions should be set to "true" in Fluxbox init file.

Code: Select all

session.screen0.allowRemoteActions:	true

If you are interested, I can also share my main setup (Unity inspired).

Bellow are fbpanel config files and the required scripts and extra (required) icons.

hello purplemoon and everyone
love the fbpanel.

mediaplayer.py is in
$HOME/.conky/MX-Bridouz/mediaplayer.py

@purplemoon thanks for the config+script files - and your clear instructions re paths, requirements and icons.
Gonna have some fun playing with fbpanel...

I used it at the beginning a lot, but switched to tint2 for wider audience appeal when fb became an official MX product especially for older machines.

@i_ri Thank you, I forgot to mention that.
Same for the session scripts that are inspired by this topic https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... ox-864919/
@ceeslans You are welcome. Hope you'll enjoy it!
@Jerry3904 I also have used fbpanel for years with Fluxbox. Came back to it, a few years ago, because it is lighweight and easy to configure. It probably is less powerful than Tint2, but really does the job: you can get much out of it. My work set up is inspired by Unity DE.
