@i_ri: I like the traditional look of your fluxbox desktop. Are toolbar and/or wma-dock hidden, or intentionally left out?
Also noticed you have icons in the rootmenu. Do you know if there is a way to 'toggle' these icons by means of a command - or setting in the theme config file or overlay file?

Icons are available by just adding my<icon path> to the menu entries. A toggle might be doable by replacing all "<' with "#<" using sed and the "'g" switch.

Fehlix said once there is a toggle capability within sed itself.

@ppc: Nice! Can you please provide the button commands and/or scripts?

Would love to know about the 'toggle' in sed. Or do you have an example script for replacement using seed and "g" switch?

We have a sed toggle in one of our existing scripts, will look. For the use of "g" see if this is useful:

Hello JayM and ceeslans , I always jump to see your screencapture often showing the root menu.
((__)(Right extension display; ))
That rootMenu continues to show elements of first-edition mxfluxbox. Pixmaps in that menu portion by several selection and manual input. The new edition mxfluxbox is just beautiful; I like it with Shade Style

At some point I will have to tidy up, at the moment I use all the usual possibilities, so an actually unnecessary high redundancy :)
rofi, rootmenu (fbmenugen 0.85 and additional starters/scripts inserted by me) , Tint2 Taskbar/systray and three tint2 docks (hidden).
I also like to do feasibility studies, what works and what doesn't work, this doesn't always have to be useful, but it helps me on my way to find the best solution for me :)
(I think the three docks are not really necessary for me :-D )
