Re: MX Fluxbox Screenshots
@ceeslans Have you found a way to get the glyphs centered in the button rather than left justified?
Re: MX Fluxbox Screenshots
Thanks. I didn't know we had right-click available as an option.

Yep... I've removed the toolbar.button.borderWidth (or you can set its value to 0) - and using the fluxbox' toolbar spacer_[pixels] setting instead:Melber wrote: Thu Aug 21, 2025 8:48 am@ceeslans Have you found a way to get the glyphs centered in the button rather than left justified?

Well, not only left- and rightclick, but also mousewheel-up and -down.Jerry3904 wrote: Thu Aug 21, 2025 9:44 am>snip<Thanks. I didn't know we had right-click available as an option.
Check out how my button.volume is configured:
Code: Select all
session.screen0.toolbar.button.volume.label: \357\200\250
session.screen0.toolbar.button.volume.commands: :exec volumeControl mute : :exec pavucontrol :exec volumeControl up :exec volumeControl down

Re: MX Fluxbox Screenshots
@ceeslans @Melber So how would I add a right-click function to a button? Is there a standard reference now for toolbar buttons? I'm only finding scattered posts.
I'm thinking about documentation here, and have added a new entry to the Wiki to beef up support for the "traditional" mode MXFB; want to include a good section on the new toolbar (will also be doing a video). ATM that entry simply repeats the minimal text that is in the MXFB Manual.

Was struggling with the correct setup myself (hence your 'scattered posts' remarkJerry3904 wrote: Fri Aug 22, 2025 6:47 am@ceeslans @Melber So how would I add a right-click function to a button? Is there a standard reference now for toolbar buttons? I'm only finding scattered posts.

Code: Select all
session.screen0.toolbar.button.[name].label: [glyph/text]
session.screen0.toolbar.button.[name].commands: :[leftclick] {command} :[middleclick] {command} :[rightclick] {command} :[wheelup] {command} :[wheeldown] {command}
if you want to enable only leftclick and rightclick for two internet applications (e.g firefox and thunderbird), it could look like this:
Code: Select all
session.screen0.toolbar.button.internet.label: (or: internet)
session.screen0.toolbar.button.internet.commands: :exec firefox : :exec thunderbird
[EDIT] corrected some errors in the quoted session.screen0.toolbar.button.[name].commands code...

Re: MX Fluxbox Screenshots
Thanks. I was actually referring to the absence of information online.

Re: MX Fluxbox Screenshots
So I just realized that @Melber has a right-click on the Appfinder icon of the MX toolbar that brings up the settings app for it: It never even occurred to me to test that ...
So that colon: in the instance above, how does Fluxbox know thatindicates a right-click and not some other mouse action?
Code: Select all
session.screen0.toolbar.button.appfinder.commands: :exec rofi -show drun -theme ~/.config/rofi/themes/appfinder/mxfb-appfinder.rasi : :exec appfinder-settings
So that colon: in the instance above, how does Fluxbox know that
Code: Select all
: :exec appfinder-settings
