An FB-impression with an "Office" submenu created in YAD. The bash-script is simmilar to mxfb-appearance, uses smaller Obsidian-icons and it is launched by right-clicking on the Tint2's "Office"-button.

@kobaian: kindly share the yad script for your office submenu launcher, thnx a lot!
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
yad --undecorated --posx=1 --posy=950 --borders=8 --title=Office --skip-taskbar --close-on-unfocus \
--text="Aplikacje biurowe:" \
--button="!/usr/share/icons/Obsidian/apps/32/libreoffice-main.png!Libre-Office":libreoffice \

First of all you should change the position
to fit your screen resolution and the position and size of your tint2-panel, and then you should change the text and the description to your language.

Hey, I wrote that! Nice to see it put to some use.
I really appreciate your work, and I like the idea of having YAD-quasi-menus YAD very much.

@kobaian: thanks for the yad script, that was helpful...
To set the yad box next/above the toolbar, irrespective of screen resolution, you can use a negative position value. I prefer to use the geometry (WxH+x+y) option, e.g:
Not being a fan of iconized menus, I created a text-styled popup in form format. Libreoffice is not installed on my system, but I used its icons for an optional icon menu. The script is called from a tint2 launcher - see below screenshot.
That said - and mostly based on my extremely-limited yad-scripting skills - I don't think I will pursue its menu-style customizing. I'm not aware of possibilities for automatic recognition of tint2 theme colors&opacity (it now follows gtk-theme colors) and/or offset settings. In that respect jgmenu does as much easier/better job...

I have played for a while with "fields" instead of "buttons" in YAD, and I really dislike the centered layout. It doesn't look good to me especially while using text with the icons. And I don't know how to move the icons and the text to the left.
There is another advantage for me to use horizontal layout instead of vertical. When I use a horizontal panel and I place the horizontal YAD dialog-box above my quick-launch buttons, I can use one and the same position for all menus - Office, Graphics, Music etc., because every time the dialog-window is directly above the button. For a vertical menu I will have to define the position for every menu and I will have to change it every time I add or remove a button from my panel.

May 6th screenshot - with Fluxbox 1.3.7 running on MX-19.4
WM theme = 'Shiki-Stadler-Dark' --> which came with legendary Crunchbang distro). It's gtk2 only, and regretfully I've been unable to create a gtk3 version for it...
Fluxbox style = 'Shiki-Stadler-Dark' (my own creation)
Tint2 toolbar = 'Lilidog-Dark' by Sleekmason
Conky = 'Date-Time' by me - and 'BuildingConky' by Jesse Avalos modified by me

Think I have reached the end of my fiddling with this one. No major changes, just tweaks.
Got sick of looking for icons that I liked for the bottom launcher, so I ended up fudging together some of my own. Played around using google and guesswork until I got the executors in top panel showing the info I want. Settled on Flatery Blue for the system icons, orange was just a little too much.

Now have to decide what direction the next desktop is going to go. Perhaps a little more restrained, but then again, a funky highlight colour is hard to resist...

New look is more subdued with a take on the MX sidebar.
