Do you want me to create a .desktop file for quickshot, based on the command and icon from the default toolbar?
I probably should have one. If you have time to put one together that would be helpful--I'm in the midst of trying to finish a Proposal for next year's business that is already late...I hate doing office work on a sunny Saturday!

You can use mine if you like. I created one for my second panel that runs on the left side. The icon I used is /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/32x32/legacy/camera-photo.png

Thanks. We're using Papirus in MX-21 so I'll switch to that icon set.

I've tested PSP and Endnotes via Wine, although adding winetricks manually didn't enable any of the associated wiki suggestions I usually adopt eg corefonts
Apart from perhaps needing to edit fstab? to automount internal partitions like 'Data', lacking DIsk Manage, I did notice one peculiar screen artifact on my secondary display only.
In FF or Chromium, showing a forum post containing a code field causes flickering aqua/blue lines resembling disjointed ruled lines on a writing pad.
**this effect also appears in the Menu/tab area as well
This effect overlaps and scrolls with the web page, although primarily extends to the right and beyond the browser itself. I haven't previously noticed odd screen artifact on this system.
Agree with some Panel tooltips being extended below screen edge (horizontal panel), noting this when it first appeared via xfce.
I reduced Window Switcher to 1 as I could no longer set it to show rows=2 for compactness. It's probably not that useful to me with two displays connected in practice though.
Little vertical dividers between panel icons, no big deal, easy to change....something new.
The installer seemed simpler than B1 and provided Aust-Melb for timezone, for a HDD install, although had to choose Sydney in a live persist setup in B1, from memory, thus needing adjustment later. Guessing this is the same....
Live changes carried over nicely upon installing and updating grub then booting back to B2.
I do find some title bars a bit dark but am not that inclined to tinker with themes anyway. Possibly, look for greybird light or similar if needed, noting some discussion re changes to these sorts of settings, and passwords, etc by reading through the thread and B1 feedback.

Disk Manager is not available to MX-21, but that automount function is available in MX Tweak, which is on the Settings Manager screen.

Nobody else has reported this, so you might might want to check your graphic settings. Post back QSI if you want specific attention from us.

Will do, I did intend the above for the corresponding xfce feedback but misread such fast moving happenings in posting....I'll give live persist a whirl in the meantime.

@Jerry3904
I saw that you now have a .desktop file for quickshot...
I was busy adapting my preferred tint2 config to work with MXFB... I call it "ft10-dark". If you like it, feel free to include it... Let's say that probably some 80% of computer users would find it very familiar...

With a quick look I like it. I do see some things that have to be adjusted for our context (what I do to everybody), and it resembles one we already have: traditional-tint2rc, but will consider it carefully for inclusion.

Nice, Jerry, thanks! The config is nothing fancy, I put it together from several sources and added some tweaks to make it all fit my needs. I had to tweak it a bit more to work with MXFB icons, etc... You probably saw previous versions of this script here in the forum... I think some users may find this handy, specially if they have to switch between MXFB and Windows...
The features I like best, in order of use, are: the "find" button (using Rofi to locate apps/files), "Simple Weather" button and the "window thumbnails". (in my regular OS I also have an icon for skippy-xd, next to the "find" icon- do you want me to add an icon with a fluxbox or rofi command to list all open windows? My "find" icon has that feature already- left click it and then click the "window" tab)
I posted a screenshot, on the mxfb screenshots thread, showing the script using my "cpu" script, to show CPU and RAM usage (replacing any conky/monitor, for my usual needs). I also moved my "show desktop" "button" to the further right...
P.
