Hello Everyone.
Just for the fun of it a minimalist Mac Os layout, featuring fluxbox and fbpanel...
- GTK theme: Matcha Sea (light & dark)
- Icon theme: Simply Circle (white & black) + some custom icons
- Wallpaper: "minimalist_water-green_strawberry"

@purplemoon That looks great.
Are both toolbars (top- and bottom) fbpanel bars? Does fbpanel allow executors, like in tint2?
Would appreciate if you could kindly share its configuration file(s) - thanks a lot

Yes, both panels are fbpanel. To save space, the bottom bar is set to hide, as there are no options for autohide.
As for executors, the output of a command / script can be displayed via the "genmon" plugin. I use it to display the name of the current focused window and the title of the songs played in Clementine.
Requirements:
- I use Simply Circle icons. If you use another theme, some icons might be missing and the items using these might not be visible/work or break the configuration.
- You also need "xdotool" to display the focused window name in the panel...
- and "gxmessage" for the session scripts to work as intended.
Folders & Files:
- "my_scripts" folder goes into ~/.fluxbox/ (logout scripts)
- "mediaplayer.py"goes into the "home" folder (music player script -- clementine (& audacious, vlc...)
- fbpanel config files go into ~/.config/fbpanel/
- "fbp_icons_dark/light" folders go into ~/.config/fbpanel/
Fluxbox-remote actions should be set to "true" in Fluxbox init file.
Code: Select all
session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: true
If you are interested, I can also share my main setup (Unity inspired).
Bellow are fbpanel config files and the required scripts and extra (required) icons.

Gonna have some fun playing with fbpanel...

I used it at the beginning a lot, but switched to tint2 for wider audience appeal when fb became an official MX product especially for older machines.

@i_ri Thank you, I forgot to mention that.
Same for the session scripts that are inspired by this topic

@ceeslans You are welcome. Hope you'll enjoy it!
@Jerry3904 I also have used fbpanel for years with Fluxbox. Came back to it, a few years ago, because it is lighweight and easy to configure. It probably is less powerful than Tint2, but really does the job: you can get much out of it. My work set up is inspired by Unity DE.
