Hello JayM and Everyone
It is a Redbud day. In the pink, Cercis canadensis surrounds us.

Pointer hover gumby idesk ToolTip
is printed from $HOME/.fluxbox/init session.screen0.toolbar.tools:

Taken shortly after systemboot; viewing Lake Tahoe's sundown in nightly sissy-pink.
fluxbox menu/toolbar style is 'rugosa' by @packrat (slightly modified)

[Jerry3904]

Both terrific looks!

Another winner!

... yad galore!

[Jerry3904]

Nice! The scrot one particularly interests me...

YAD is awesome! Cool stuff in the Screenshot! Even people with rudimentary scripting abilities (ie me) can manage to make useful utils and convenience features. Fortunately for us @Melber here is also a black belt YADmaster and when you see some of the BunsenLabs and LiliDog stuff it's pretty inspiring!

Hello, gorgeous theme. 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
