Hello Jerry3904 and Everyone
When trying dolphin_oracle's current mxfb-menu-generator (the dEfbmEnu.zip)
try this Reload / Category All checkbox for Show (?) uncheck for unShow. (?)
(Show is password twice,, unShow is once,, simple edition,,)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# for latest mxfb-menu-generator newer than 24.09.02
# reload mxfluxbox menu without or with Category All 
export DIALOG=$(cat <<End_of_Text
<window title="Category All" icon-name="cab_view" window-position="1" allow-grow="false" border-width="8">
<vbox>

<frame   mxfluxbox menu       >
<checkbox active="false">
<label>" Category All  "</label>
<variable>CategoryAll</variable>
<default>false</default>
</checkbox>
</frame>

<button ok></button>
</vbox>
</window>
End_of_Text
)

I=$IFS; IFS=""
for STATEMENTS in  $(gtkdialog --program DIALOG); do
  eval $STATEMENTS
done
IFS=$I

if [ "$EXIT" = "OK" ] ; then
pkexec sed -i 's/for i in.*/for i in {1..16};/' /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator
        if [ "$CategoryAll" = "true" ] ; then
pkexec sed -i 's/16/17/' /usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator
        fi
/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator
else
exit    
fi

Since I started using dock-dualum-tint2rc as my app launcher, the weather wouldn't show up (after booting up) unless I either log out and log back into the desktop or disable then re-enable the dock.

I found that if I edit the executors command line and add a sleep command before the curl command, then the weather is displayed after booting up.

Code: Select all

curl wttr.in/?format=1

Code: Select all

sleep 2 && curl wttr.in/?format=1

Can dock-dualum-tint2rc be updated to include the sleep command? I copied the original and renamed it so that I wouldn't mess it up.

You mean updated for the skel? I'd want to check with @kobaian who is the dev of that theme.

Is that where it is located? I thought there was a program that will update the tint2 docks.
Btw, this is my tint2 toolbars. I moved the weather to the toolbar and my dock has all my programs along with buttons for suspend, reboot and shutdown.

I thought it was in one of the mxfb apps. That is all.

That's interesting...
I know two cases, when the weather widget does not show.
1. No Internet connection or bad quality of the connection.
2. The number of queries exceeded and you have to wait for the wttr.in server gets its permissions back to share the information from other weather services.

In the first case the widget will appear after connecting or improving the connection quality. If there is a delay between your logging in and connecting to the Internet you have to wait about 10 minutes for the widget to refresh automatically.
