Here are some initial remarks re MX-Fluxbox beta1
Error messages in ~/.xsession-errors
----------------
Fluxbox is logging a long list of '
Failed to read: session.*' values in ~/.session-errors.
Solution
Add these variables to ~/.fluxbox/init as suggested by @siamhie
Code: Select all
session.screen0.struts: 0,0,0,0
session.screen0.struts.1: 0,0,0,0
session.screen0.iconbar.iconifiedPattern: Relative
There is a warning re
language locale: "Warning: Failed to open file(fluxbox.cat). For translation, using default messages."
This can be resolved by executing following commands:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/fluxbox/nls
sudo ln -is en_US.UTF-8 $(locale | grep LANG | cut -d= -f2)
Also seeing following warning in ~/.xsession/errors (probably also fluxbox-related):
Code: Select all
WARNING: More than one Desktop window found:
0x 1200036 3
0x 1200021 3
0x 1200008 3
Tried to google for possible causes/solutions, but didn't find any....
And finally various (harmless?) messages:
- rtkit- and libcamera related errors after pipewire startup
- xfce4-clipman errors
~/.fluxbox/apps
-------------
Suggest to reduce the number of entries to installed applications only. And clean out double/incomplete entries.
Default dock (wmalauncher)
-------------
Default dock is NOT showing up on session start. following errors appear (one by one) in ~/.xsession.errors
Code: Select all
--background-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
--border-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
--hover-background-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
--hover-border-color: Argument '<COLOR|GRADIENT>' is missing.
These arguments could instead be added to the TTIPS+ items
Also, mxdk script is missing a sed command, something like:
Code: Select all
#set up slit location
sed -i 's/^session.screen0.slit.placement:.*/session.screen0.slit.placement: LeftCenter/' $HOME/.fluxbox/init
Presumably mx-dockmaker has not been updated yet to set the above?
mxfb-font
-------------
Not yet updated to 230526 version?
As it is now, selecting the gtk-font does not execute the requested change.
mxfb-appfinder
-------------
Some applications show up without icon:
- MX apps: Background/Font/MX-User-Manual/Tint2-Manager
- non MX : Grsync/Py-Loader
Perhaps set
fallback-icon option in ~/.config/rofi/themes/appfinder/mxfb-appfinder.rasi:
Code: Select all
application-fallback-icon: "/usr/share/icons/Papirus/symbolic/mimetypes/application-x-executable-symbolic.svg";
-------------
Needs to be updated to allow (additional?) setting of *.svg icons and width/height
tint2
------------
Launching mxfb-appfinder from default tint2 looks great (though perhaps a bit oversized).
But calling mxfb-appfinder from elsewhere-positioned and/or otherwise-colored/transparent panel should open mxfb-appfinder (or an alternative rofi appfinder) in a neutral position --> centered ??
sort order folders-first
------------
When searching files/folders in e.g texteditors, preferably show folders-first before files :
Code: Select all
open dconf editor --> org --> gtk --> settings --> file-chooser
scroll down to 'sort-directories-first --> set Custom value to: True
Then hit the clock icon in top-right corner and select 'Apply'
EDIT: Sorry
@Eadwine Rose , here's the obligatory QSI:
