upgrading fluxbox to version 1.3.7+git20220731 is messing up the position of tint2 toolbar. After reboot, it shows up in topcenter (where apparently fluxbox legacy toolbar is expected to appear. When setting this to 'BottomCenter in' ~/.fluxbox/init, then tint2 panel is floating 30 pixels above bottom screen edge.
This needs to be checked by the devs. In the meantime,
DON'T upgrade to this new version.
ps: I am sure that fluxbox 1.3.7-antix is working perfectly. Will set this up asap and revert with outcome

I just saw this, yuck. I think we may need a alpha3 build to continue, but let's wait a bit.

It may be that @timkb4cq will need to check his procedure, or just start again. In any case, I believe he should remove it from the pool for now.

Perhaps for now (until @timkb4cq has sorted this out), one could also downgrade to fluxbox-1.3.5 in synaptic (force version)

Thanks. @ceeslans and I can force version or just restart for now (I was running Live) so we can continue while we figure this stuff out.

@timkb4cq do you mean the sid version won't build?what about the bullseye version (
http://la.mxrepo.com/antix/bullseye/poo ... f/fluxbox/ )
If I remember correctly, it was exactly the antix version that was offered in MX21 testing repo. And that one runs fine in MXFB23

I booted back to original, installed that antix version you linked to, logged out and back in: and everything looks normal. Panel in its correct location.

Yes, you can install the bullseye version on bookworm. But it won't build on bookworm - too many things have changed since 2015.
The current git version has those things fixed and will build on bookworm. If you check the man pages, they have changed also as options have been added and changed.
