What does your hash button launch?

left click = terminal // right click = root terminal

@ceeslans Have you found a way to get the glyphs centered in the button rather than left justified?

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:

Code: Select all

session.screen0.toolbar.tools:	spacer_8,button.homenu,spacer_12,button.filmgr,spacer_6,button.termin,spacer_8,button.browsr,spacer_6,prevworkspace,workspacename,nextworkspace,spacer_6,iconbar,spacer_6, systemtray, clock, spacer_6,button.calndr,spacer_8,button.volume,spacer_8,button.dsktop,spacer_8,button.logout,spacer_8

Fyi: Using different button names, but take it you get the picture...

Well, not only left- and rightclick, but also mousewheel-up and -down.
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

Even possible to apply middleclick, but I left this one open (I don't particularly like that action...)

Very cool, thanks.

@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' remark ) but it is actually quite simple:

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}

Note the existence of the colon ' : ' even for mouse actions without an assigned {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

HTH

[EDIT] corrected some errors in the quoted session.screen0.toolbar.button.[name].commands code...

[Jerry3904]

Thanks. I was actually referring to the absence of information online.
