MX Fluxbox Screenshots

>snip<
Would you mind sharing the Minimo fluxbox theme? It doesn't seem to be anywhere in the Internet.

@orcrist It's not found on the internet no, 'cos I never published the style :)

Attached zip contains the ~/.fluxbox/styles/Minimo folder, with the theme.cfg and the required pixmaps for the rootmenu (the style basically uses Fluxbox' default min/max/close buttons). Of course, the toolbar is configured using colors matching the rootmenu and window decorations.

Two further observations:

- the style obviously only configures the native fluxbox toolbar - and NOT the (MXFB default) tint2 panel --> latter needs its own tint2rc .

- when applied on a more-or-less-vanilla MXFB fluxbox install, the toolbar will likely only show tasks, systray and time/date (see below screenshot).
All additional elements as shown in my March10 (Devuan) screenshot, will need to be added/configured in your ~/.fluxbox/init and ~/.fluxbox/overlay files.
I'm referring to items like:
- application menu button
- launcher buttons (file mgr | terminal | browser)
- workspace switcher
- logout|reboot|shutdown button
- hide|show desktop button
- toolbar spacers etc
Let me know if you need some further information or suggestions for such additional configuration.


EDIT: Sorry.... the 'theme.cfg' file in the zip is an older version - and not displaying the correct style colors in rootmenu.
Attached please find the updated zip

Thanks a lot for sharing, very polite of you.
Your Minimo theme looks great on my setup. I use also the minimo tint2 theme.
Concerning the fluxbox toolbar tweaks, thanks for your offer to further help, I don't want to put you in further trouble as I am not sure that I will use it.
Sharing the way you have managed to use the Archcraft rofi would be very very interesting though...

Sharing the way you have managed to use the Archcraft rofi would be very very interesting though...

Here's how:
- I created 'launcher' + 'runner' folders in ~/.config/rofi/themes/archcraft/ directory and copied Adi's launcher.rasi + runner.rasi files there accordingly

- After modifying the settings to personal preferences, I created separate dark+light.config files in each folder
The dark or light color mode is read by the scripts from ~/.config/rofi-mode.conf textfile. The current mode can be set manually - or by script (see below)

- Launcher scripts for 'archcraft-launcher' and for 'archcraft-runner' should be executed from your ~/.local/bin/ directory.
Make sure this directory is in your $PATH - and reboot (or at least log out/in) before using the scripts.

Likewise, the rofi-mode toggle script must be located in that very same directory. Execute that script whenever you want to toggle the dark/light color mode;
perhaps best to create a keybinding for this (I use [ctrl+alt + M] for this, but feel free to use whatever you consider best).

EDIT:
ps: don't try to set or select above archcraft rofi's through rofi-theme-selector, because the main rasi files were alteredmutilated by me when setting up the light/dark-modes.
fwiw, I'm running my favorite rofi's mostly from individual launch scripts anyway...

Good luck!

Hello JayM and everyone
A favorite window tiling command?
Add menu items to /windowmenu.
sample

Code: Select all

[begin]
  [shade]
  [clientmenu]
  [Exec] (screenshot) { mxfb-quickshot focused jpg }
  [Exec] (pad) { featherpad }
  [showdesktop] (showdesktop)
  [rootmenu] (rootmenu)
  [stick]
  [maximize]
  [iconify]
  [raise]
  [lower]
  [toggledecor] (ToggleDecor)
  [settitledialog]
  [sendto]
  [layer]
  [alpha]
  [extramenus]
  [submenu](hello){everyone}
    [nop] (mx)
  [end]
  [separator] (- - - - )
  [close]
[end]

Thank you, it worked just as you said. Much appreciated.

Here's another fluxbox style that I really like: NakedNord

Got the original style theme from an early version of the terrific nakedeb fluxbox distro.
Reworked it a bit and added a few settings, mainly related to toolbar.buttons and bevel+border values.
The style files are attached.

Currently running on fluxuan [ devuan 5 daedalus ]
gtk2/3 theme: Olympic-Dark
conky: Date&Time | ScratchMusic
wallpaper setter: modified|miniaturized early-version XwWall (using gtk3dialog)

[AVLinux]

Great Easter-y Vibe!

[wdscharff]

For a change, a barely modified Fluxbox, both monitors active
Style FT10Dark (from the Tenr style collection, if I remember correctly), only slightly adapted to my system.
Tint2, the button icons are from different icon sets :-)
My default Conkys (system and music display)
XFE file manager
wallpaper : waiting for summer ;-}

Started up MX-Fluxbox today for an (overdue) update. Ran through the tint2 and fluxbox-styles, of which many seemed long forgotten...
Below two screenies showing some of my fb-styles + tint2 sidebar panels, conky widget and wallpaper creations :

-> fb-style + tint2 panel = "launchy"

-> fb-style + tint2 panel = "concept-dark"

nice. i wish i had the patience. or. not had adhd and all that. its fascinating that i accomplish anything to be true.

Since using fluxbox' native toolbar as default panel (instead of tint2), I needed to find an option to substitute tint2's internal low-battery warning setting.
I tried 'cbatticon' systemtray application, and a well-tested 'batsignal' script - but those still consumed more memory than I liked.
At the moment I'm using a modified version of @CharlesV's excellent 'BatteryNotification' script. I've adapted this script in such a way that it will only send low-battery-level notifications at critical levels - and only when battery is discharging. Running this script at startup, which consumes only 250 kb....

While working on it, I find fluxbox' basic tiling possibilities (using keybinds to resize+move windows to the screen corners/sides) extremely useful...
