@ppc: Nice! Can you please provide the button commands and/or scripts?
Hi:
1-the full debian menu: the script to generate this is over at viewtopic.php?f=143&t=60848 , you can download it from https://github.com/jerry3904/mxfb-goodi ... -generator

2-The "XFCE menu"- I discussed it on the forum, but, long story short:
The right click on tint2's "MX start" icon points to this script (that toggles the "menu" on/off):

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
# run xlsclients to see if appfinder is running
current_windows=$(xlsclients)
	if [[ ${current_windows} != *"xfce4-appfinder"* ]];then
    echo "appfinder is not running, starting it" & xfce4-appfinder ; exit
    else 
   	echo appfinder is already running, checking if it has focus
 	 	 #check if appfinder is active:
 		 app_name="xfce4-appfinder"
 	 	focused_app=$(cat /proc/$(xdotool getwindowpid $(xdotool getwindowfocus))/comm)
 	   	 if [  "$focused_app" = "$app_name" ]; then
		    	echo "appfinder has focus, killing it." & killall xfce4-appfinder
			else
    			echo "appfinder is running but has no focus, changing focus to it" & killall xfce4-appfinder && xfce4-appfinder
	 	 fi
	 fi
I also edited ~/.fluxbox/apps and added this section, to remove xfce4-appfinder's window decorations, and choose it's placing, adapt as according to your needs:

Code: Select all

[app] (name=xfce4-appfinder) (class=Xfce4-appfinder)
  [Dimensions]	{55% 84%}
  [Position]	(UPPERLEFT)	{0% 16%}
  [Deco]	{NONE}
  [Hidden]	{yes}
[end]

@ppc: that part I understand.
But what puzzles me, is the 'command' that you bind to the 'start' button (lckick or rclick) in tint2.
Could you please help me out?

Oh, sorry, I missed that one : it's simply "fluxbox-remote rootmenu"
:happy:

Thanks @ppc for the correct command :shakehands:

Still some issue bugs me: rofi-menu can be correctly positioned above the tint2 toolbar (using its geometry settings), whereas the root-menu doesn't (and covers the tint2-toolbar) --> see below screen clipping.
Is there a geometry setting for rootmenu - or perhaps for workspace size-limitation?

My today's MX-19 fluxbox desktop.

Tint2 toolbar includes a few executors (memory | cpu | network | volume | system monitor) and battery state.
In this setup, nm-applet and volume-icon are disabled (memory usage is idling at ~235 Mb at bootup). The system tray is 'empty' at startup, being populated upon initialization of an app (e.g. audacious as in this case).

Neat! PPC has been urging me to look at executors and your screenshot reminds me that I can finally do that this week.

TBH I never spend time with tint2, but will certainly dig down more as the next dev cycle opens up.

My current Fluxbox, without all the blingbling, which is anyway limited to conky. The two additional Tint2 Docks (left and below) invisible as usual.

I've switched to celebrate the release of MX-19.3. Used the new mxfb-appearance to adjust toolbar transparency (which looks a lot less massive at a setting of 100) and width, a wallpaper of AKS that I love, my dock (normally auto-hide) and the "fb" version of the BritPanel conky which puts everything there but not in my face.
