Support for MX and antiX Linux distros
http://www.forum.mxlinux.org/
Let me make sure you understand: MX-Fluxbox is an "overlay" for MX-19 and its Xfce, not an alternative to it. It is only a Window Manager, and does not provide the elements of the Desktop Environment that come from Xfce....as an alternative for xfce...
Understandable. I agree that out of the box, MX-fluxbox may be too "different" from mainstream to what users expect... If you want to, doing stuff like adding a start menu, putting the toolbar on the left or on the bottom, with the clock to the right, can be very easily achieved. You can also have direct access to all your applications on the menu, etc... you may miss regular desktop icons and also quick launch icons on the toolbar, tough.Ruud_Kuin wrote: Wed Jan 08, 2020 12:23 pm Hi Jerry,
Thx for your reply! It worked quite okay on my Netbook, but it's "not my cup of tea"... I'd rather stick with xfce!

Oooh, I'm looking forward to that!Jerry3904 wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 4:45 pm I'm working on a "traditional" option for people committed to comfort, and have come pretty close. The start icon ix actually a dockapp in the slit. It was created with a new app that will soon be in the repos called wmalauncher; it's not easy to figure out, but it is very powerful.
Welcome to the Forum! Nice desktop--glad you like MX-Fluxbox.ceeslans wrote: Wed Feb 19, 2020 4:09 pm Very happy to discover MX Fluxbox flavor only today. Pleasant look & feel - and very configurable...
It's in 2.0, as are docks created from it. Check out the <cough> documentation for details--we have a wmalauncher gui in beta, too.JayM wrote: Thu Feb 20, 2020 2:06 amOooh, I'm looking forward to that!Jerry3904 wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 4:45 pm I'm working on a "traditional" option for people committed to comfort, and have come pretty close.
