mxfb2025: Menus

[Jerry3904]

Thanks. There's another one I don't see being located in top level...

Looks good in test, I like the new category names. 2 comments:

1) I thought we decided that mxfb-workspace-settings was redundant given the Workspace menu available off a middle mouse click (and we might want to add that to the Root menu somewhere). ATM it's not even in any repo, is it?

2) I really don't want to include mx-tweak under Fluxbox Tools, given the existence of the MX Tools category. What about instead creating a new desktop file named something like "Fluxbox settings" that opens the "Fluxbox" tab in Tweak?

Code: Select all

mx-tweak --fluxbox

That option is not currently recognized in bash, but I imagine that @dolphin_oracle would be willing to add it sometime.

Sorry for the delayed response, was busy this weekend.

1) OK with Workspaces being added to FB Menu > Settings
2) Think there should be a direct link to mx-tweak from the mxfb-settings, regardless whether using mx-tweak.desktop or a new fluxbox-tweaks.desktop.

Thanks, agreed.

After people upgrade to get the new mxfb-accessories (25.02.01mx23), you should be able to see the new "MXFB-Tools" entry in All apps with the following steps:

1) Click Menu > Settings > Configure > Menus > Main, and replace the existing All apps section at the top with this:

Code: Select all

   [submenu] (All Apps)
        [include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/full_menu)
        [separator]
        [include] (~/.fluxbox/full_menu)
        [exec] (Update)  {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}
        [exec] (Disable) {mx-tweak --other}
   [end]

2) log out and back in, and click All apps > MXFB-Tools at the top of the rootMenu. Notice in particular the new "MX Fluxbox Tweaks" and "Appfinder Setttings"

NOTE: there are still a couple missing from the menu and the dashboard--working on that this weekend. But I have crossed out this item on the mxfb2025 Index.

I don't have that file listed.

MX Fluxbox Tweaks opens MX Tweaks. Is that the intention? Just asking.

"All apps" is at the top of the rootMenu and we had a long discussion about this (maybe in this thread)

Yes, there is a discussion between @Melber and me on this somewhere in this (?) thread.

I'm referring to this file. This isn't in my fluxbox home folder.

Code: Select all

~/.fluxbox/full_menu

I'll go looking for it. I am subscribed to all of the MXFB-2025 threads.

Your looking in the wrong place, it's in

Code: Select all

~./fluxbox/submenus

I'm referring to the code you want us to replace in post #45.

1) Click Menu > Settings > Configure > Menus > Main, and replace the existing All apps section at the top with this:

Code: Select all

[submenu] (All Apps)
        [include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/full_menu)
        [separator]
        [include] (~/.fluxbox/full_menu)  [b]<-----------This is the entry in question[/b]
        [exec] (Update)  {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}
        [exec] (Disable) {mx-tweak --other}
   [end]

[Jerry3904]

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are not getting here. Right-click the desktop and follow those directions. The text editor will pop up with the main menu (=menu-mx) and that section is at the top.

Full-menu is generated and has nothing to do this.
