MX-21 fluxbox beta 1 feedback thread.

[oops]

5. I think it would be useful adding GTK-greeter preferences to MX-Fluxbox-Settings.

It should show up in MX Tools, where it belongs IMO as an advanced tool. But it's not there so will have to look at the desktop file.

Maybe a link can be added into the "about-mx-fluxbox" item ?

Back to the battery: I haven't found anything yet in a web search or looking at the man file.

I can't test, but can someone try filling the last two fields in the config file like this (this is a wild guess!):

Code: Select all

# Battery
battery_tooltip = 1
battery_low_status = 10
battery_low_cmd = xmessage 'tint2: Battery low!'
battery_full_cmd = 
bat1_font = Noto Sans Bold 12
bat2_font = Noto Sans 9.5
battery_font_color = #df3030 100
bat1_format = 
bat2_format = 
battery_padding = 1 9
battery_background_id = 3
battery_hide = 25
battery_lclick_command = 
battery_rclick_command = 
battery_mclick_command = 
battery_uwheel_command = 
battery_dwheel_command = 
ac_connected_cmd = battery_hide = 101
ac_disconnected_cmd = battery_hide = 25

On the low battery message: this band-aid should work (on my laptop early in the morning, can't test).

1) open /.config/tint2/tint2rc in geany or featherpad
2) search for

Code: Select all

battery_low_cmd = xmessage 'tint2: Battery low!'

3) delete the message so it looks like this

Code: Select all

battery_low_cmd = 

4) save and close

Still looking for the desktop low message problem itself...

I did the same thing using Tint2 Manager>Config!

There's a bug in "nobattery-tint2rc" - no "exit-options", browser icon instead. Probably there is one "P" missing in the config file.

I'll have to wait to see if anyone else reports this b/c the icon link is correct and I've not had a problem on the various machines I've tested on so far.

I can confirm the wrong icon shows. If you copy and paste the icon address from the config, or from the text file, into Thunar, it shows the correct logout icon - weird!

Edit:

OK, I figured it out.
Button 3 is in the wrong place, and button 4 is missing.

5. I think it would be useful adding GTK-greeter preferences to MX-Fluxbox-Settings.

It should show up in MX Tools, where it belongs IMO as an advanced tool. But it's not there so will have to look at the desktop file.

About Fluxbox has been replaced by the About tab in Welcome.

Settings Manager would be more appropriate, as lightdm-gtk-settings is not a MX tool. That is also where it is under Xfce.

Nope; didn't fix it.

Thanks. I installed it and ran a test: moved the login box to the screen bottom, rebooted but no change. Will pursue., worked fine.

BTW: @Adrian's custom toolbox is terrific--having the edit button right on the main screen saves a lot of time for everybody.
