Thanks, ceeslans.

And on that screenshot there is only current weather, so you can just look through the window to get the same information. So is it really worth registering and installing the dependencies?

left-click: shows current weather conditions in popup window
right-click: opens the 8-days forecast in a browser window
middle-click: opens 'wttr.in' 3-days forecast in terminal window.
or any configuration you want.

it is meant to be a 'goodie', that's all... nobody is forcing you to download/install or register anything

Missing my beloved vertical panel, so starting to work on a config for a future possible set of default configs for mx-fluxbox (dock is always autohide)

Nice vertical setup! Certainly does fit the MX look ...

If you want the weather icon and temperature (or any executor) to show up centered in a vertical bar, then you can set this in tint2rc file:

Thanks for that suggestion. I'm still stumbling around ATM with the settings, especially for executors, but I think it's a good start.

BTW: I've found it handy to have a tint2 refresh since I use the config file a lot, so changed the refresh entry in the menu:

Hello JayM and Everyone
The moon is roundish.
wine by ant is fitting for fluxbox. beautiful image for fluxbox.
.curves of fluxbox logo,
you previously caught me showing only the right extended screen; that is my workarea, kept clear of anything on the desktop. On right screen the middle-click and right-click start me in a direction.
here is the left screen with fluxbox toolbar all windows. Style Twice. ( i shade windows, so unfocused window title text has been brightened.) idesk is autostart. moon in slit. mxclocky and GKrellM shown for screencapture admiration, not usually remaining active. my cursor rarely visits screen left.
I have been trialing with fluxbox toolbar at the top showing only iconified windows; complement middle-click in desktop navigation, that layout type is starting to work for me. the mouse can keep to the upper area. So-many apps are tabbed that this feels like where to tab multi-tabbed apps. instead of drop-down terminal minimize terminal to top-down taskbar(?) it has its habits. minimized app finder habit? i do root menu. still shading. toggles? keyboard? layouts take a term of use to determine suitability. taskbar and titlebar for window control; placement near each other can reduce mouse area, or opposite sides of the screen has both sides covered for nearest mouse area. habits will come to suit yourself. ((eyelevel is the bottom of the screen, so reading taskbar is easier at the bottom choice on this display.)) that's for us mousers. i click for everything. left-click action; right-click menu; middle-click navigates special control properties determined within the area clicked. The keyboarders too know where they want the clicky things. to pop-up.
In alike manner to coinciding panel, sometimes desktop, of xfce, kde, mswindows, the
fluxbox toolbar taskbar showing all windows is best for overall window management control using windowmenu in taskbar; it creates a center of windowmenu control near the titlebars or across the screen, to optimize your workflow or otherwise satisfy your habits.

Hello Jerry3904
I am waiting to see what ceeslans does with CustomMenu. How about You? I mean the waiting on others; You are the default guy; , for You, there is no universal default CustomMenu is there (?) ox-yi-somehow that is just not right …

The vertical panel is ingrained in us!
The launchers at top of tint2 is only a short step from the top fluxbox toolbar that you previously showed chosen, so that kinda makes sense. top. upper. even if it is on the side. maybe you like a top panel, Jerry3904.? can You like the vertical placement of where things pop-out? I never tried a full tint2 vertical. only at vertical a tint2 pager only icons, once upon a time. can you manage where the menus show? how is it working for you? pixmap only? or text?
Your screencapture published op under "Nov.22 … with tint2" is really nice; when stark is beautiful in fluxbox, with everything desktop, unseen, available, start, with a click. [keystroke.] Maybe panel going to the bottom was too much for You. You responded to yourself with the vertical panel(?) Don't work too hard.. It all works great. can't choose? hide where? what? goodies . transparent eliminates a couple choices… (?)
When showing tint2, I better like showdesktop on rootmenu leaving tint2 in normal Layer.

You tempted me with showing of the MX Linux Wine wallpaper. captivated since the initial mxflux release …


mxlinux.org/mx18-official-wallpaper ;, MX Home, Products, Art, Wallpaper,

Thanks--and that is still the most gorgeous wallpaper (I want to improve the logo in my capture above)

Jerry3904, this is an interesting setup, but raises a question in my mind if this becomes the default config for MX Fluxbox. You have changed out the default Fluxbox toolbar for Tint2. You have added the dock at the top. Are there Fluxbox features that you are still utilizing? I'm not super familiar with Openbox other than the time I spent in Bunsen Labs, but this current incarnation appears more Openbox like than Fluxbox, perhaps because Tint2 is often paired with Openbox. I guess I'm wondering if this is the direction you would like to move the project, would a move to Openbox better fit your long term goals for the project? Just kind of wondering which Window Manager would offer your the most bang for your resource usage, especially if you are moving away from using the Fluxbox built in tools. I haven't done any tests, perhaps Openbox takes more resources out of the box than Fluxbox, that alone might be a good reason to stick with Fluxbox.
