mxfb-2025 development ideas

It's been a while since I looked at it, but I seem to remember that some tabs are irrelevant. Will look in the next couple of days, thanks.

Back to topic: this "music showing on panel" could be worth consideration IMO

viewtopic.php?p=773738#p773738

I should chime in on that thread and find out if the script would work with XMMS users.

thanks, but not quite what I need. I don't really need mx-tour reviewed, just need to know if mx-fluxbox UI configuration will be changing.

Don't even need to know "how" right now, just "if".

[Jerry3904]

Oh--not in the available time.

Not sure I understand what you're asking.

Do you mean small stuff like, and just an an example, adding a new exit options tab to the app-finder, or do you mean some major change like, just to make something up, ditching tint2 and using the fluxbox native toolbar as a panel?

Or do you mean something else entirely?

Oh--not in the available time.

Does this mean we won't be able to have an MX Tools sub menu like XFCE and KDE has?



(I grouped all the MX Tools that comes with MX Fluxbox together)

Code: Select all

[submenu] (MX Tools)

As I posted earlier, you are quoting from the "Menu" subfolder. But that menu is generated (and re-generated) by a pretty complicated script from PPC that is not going to get changed this week--at least not by me.

[dolphin_oracle]

Oh--not in the available time.

Never mind I’ll ask again in 6 months.

mx Tour is fantastic and attractive. a good project.
mx-tour fluxbox if the major components do not change
the help tab might include a link to mxfluxbox manual
and additional tab about idesk, idesktool might be included (?)

can links go into tour pages?
tab App Dock a link to mx dockmaker,
tab Conky has three possible links listed at the bottom, a link for toggle conky might be fun useful appropriate here,
tab mx tools a link to mx tools,
tab mxfb settings a link to mxfb settings,
tab mx tweak a link to mx tweak,
tab mx snapshot a link to mx snapshot,
(maybe the tab mx snapshot can be dropped off of mxfluxbox tour?)
tab get help a link to mxfluxbox manual,
?

It definitely needs revision before MX-2025. When we're ready to work on it, we'll set up a dedicated thread.
