Jerry, the second [include] line should be deleted:
a) the full_menu file is already called in the first [include] line, and
b) the second one states an incorrect path anyway

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are not getting here.
I pointed it out in your code you asked us to change. Here I'll explain it in quotes.
[submenu] (All Apps)
[include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/full_menu)
[separator]
[include] (~/.fluxbox/full_menu) <-----------This is the entry in question
[exec] (Update) {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}
[exec] (Disable) {mx-tweak --other}
[end]

The last commit on GitHub added a second incorrect full_menu entry

So the correct entry should read like this?
Code: Select all
[submenu] (All Apps)
[include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/full_menu)
[separator]
[exec] (Update) {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}
[exec] (Disable) {mx-tweak --other}
[end]
I misunderstood the script's instructions, I guess.

Thanks for the clarification
@dolphin_oracle.
Sorry for the confusion
@Jerry3904. I was just trying to point out the duplicate entries.

I restored a lost entry under Settings (don't know where it went, or when exactly)
Code: Select all
[submenu] (Toolbars)
[exec] (Fluxbox) {toggletint2}
[exec] (tint2) {toggletint2}
[end]
Also followed advice to change "Browser" to "Web browser," primarily to parallel "Icon browser."

One of the things I don't like about the All apps menu is that it requires that the user already know what category the app has been put into, which is often not clear with the 3 big ones: Accessories, System and Settings. I would like to see a Search box for that situation, and decided this morning that I would make use of rofi for that. Came up with the following as a proof of concept, and am throwing it out here as an idea. If we like it we could perhaps specify a theme to use that would be appropriate.
Code: Select all
[submenu] (All Apps)
[exec] (Search) {rofi -show drun}
[separator]
[include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/full_menu)
[separator]
[exec] (Update) {/usr/bin/mxfb-menu-generator}
[exec] (Disable) {mx-tweak --other}
[end]

Open the root menu (All Apps) and click on Update at the bottom. Does that fix it?
