Dolphin has a tutorial on how to make/edit your own custom toolbox from 5:08 of this video introducing MX Workbench :
https://youtu.be/zwLz2vLc_qg
But the instructions there need to be fleshed out and adapted, since he was making the custom toolbox from within Workbench which runs as root so allows root menu entries to not ask for root password.

Thanks. I vaguely remember seeing that, but Adrian's app is so simple that any user can change what s/he wants, and I find that very attractive.

Hello Jerry3904
i echo simple. like a template - ish.
custom-toolbox is svg menu in fluxbox.
I tried to drag and drop links is the only thing simpler.
fluxbox rootmenu where i can find it for opening, settins menu,
with the .list list acting as a type of submenu mixed with launchers
this custom-toolbox has no limit on being a full-blown menu tree.
(?)

Thanks. I thought you meant you had a way to add the Fluxbox settings to the Custom Toolbox--which I am trying to do.

this custom-toolbox is really cool...
it's so easy to create a categorized list of tools for immediate execution, be it as normal user or root.
@Adrian: 'customs-toolbox' does sort the categories alfabetically - but the app names list is read from bottom-to-top... How to correct that?

@ceeslans If you already created a desktop file for tint2manager could you pm me with it?

OK, I am finished with a
Beta version--need to move on to other topics. Here is the GUI:
We'll keep the thread open for questions, comments and suggestions.
@dolphin_oracleI'm going to upload this into
my mxfb-accessories repo, and we can talk later about whether that will work from your packaging perspective.

I pushed a new custom-toolbox build:
https://github.com/MX-Linux/custom-tool ... aster/debs
* Preserve order from list when adding buttons
* Add "alias" option to change displayed name of program, just add "alias new name" after a name (but after "root" specifier if you need that)
* Don't ask for root access if .list file is editable by user
* Faster and probably more complete icon search
* Save config file under ~/.config/MX-Linux (each custom toolbox has its own config file that looks like with "custom-toolbox_name.conf"
