Thanks. There's another one I don't see being located in top level...

Looks good in test, I like the new category names. 2 comments:
1) I thought we decided that mxfb-workspace-settings was redundant given the Workspace menu available off a middle mouse click (and we might want to add that to the Root menu somewhere). ATM it's not even in any repo, is it?
2) I really don't want to include mx-tweak under Fluxbox Tools, given the existence of the MX Tools category. What about instead creating a new desktop file named something like "
Fluxbox settings" that opens the "Fluxbox" tab in Tweak?
That option is not currently recognized in bash, but I imagine that @dolphin_oracle would be willing to add it sometime.
Sorry for the delayed response, was busy this weekend.
1) OK with Workspaces being added to FB Menu > Settings
2) Think there should be a direct link to mx-tweak from the mxfb-settings, regardless whether using mx-tweak.desktop or a new fluxbox-tweaks.desktop.

After people upgrade to get the new mxfb-accessories (25.02.01mx23), you should be able to see the new "MXFB-Tools" entry in All apps with the following steps:
1) Click Menu > Settings > Configure > Menus > Main, and replace the existing All apps section at the top with this:
Code: Select all
[submenu] (All Apps)
[include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/full_menu)
[separator]
[include] (~/.fluxbox/full_menu)
[exec] (Update) {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}
[exec] (Disable) {mx-tweak --other}
[end]
2) log out and back in, and click All apps > MXFB-Tools at the top of the rootMenu. Notice in particular the new "MX Fluxbox Tweaks" and "Appfinder Setttings"
NOTE: there are still a couple missing from the menu and the dashboard--working on that this weekend. But I have crossed out this item on the mxfb2025 Index.

MX Fluxbox Tweaks opens MX Tweaks. Is that the intention? Just asking.

"All apps" is at the top of the
rootMenu and we had a long discussion about this (maybe in this thread)

Yes, there is a discussion between
@Melber and me on this somewhere in this (?) thread.

I'm referring to this file. This isn't in my fluxbox home folder.

I'll go looking for it. I am subscribed to all of the MXFB-2025 threads.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are not getting here. Right-click the desktop and follow those directions. The text editor will pop up with the main menu (=menu-mx) and that section is at the top.
Full-menu is generated and has nothing to do this.
