Fluxbox Windowmanager |
|
Home: http://www.fluxbox.org/
Version: 1.3.2
Quote: | Fluxbox is a windowmanager for X that was based on the Blackbox 0.61.1 code. It is very light on resources and easy to handle but yet full of features to make an easy, and extremely fast, desktop experience. It is built using C++ and licensed under the MIT-License. |
Compiled and tested in 4.31.
To start, exit to prompt and type
Notes:
- Additional Dependency: imlib2 (attached).
- Configured to build a regular XDG-Menu (thanks to Rarsa).
- All default styles moved to extra pet. Included is only a slightly modified style called ArchGreen.
- Manpages moved to extra pet.

Cool aragon, I was planing to make a package with my usual hacks.
Good to see fluxbox is back in development.
BTW, speaking of rarsa's xdg menu for fluxbox did you happen to find the source code for it? Links that rarsa posted are now dead. Binary still works fine but might be times when you need to recompile it.
It's the most functional menu generator for fluxbox on net - small and efficient, non-dependent on python and stuff, perfect for puppy.
I only found source for some other version of it that someone edited but doesn't really work the same.

yesno...
the sources for the xdg-menu-apps is at
http://bkhome.org/sources/alphabetical/x/
but it does NOT include the sources for fluxbox...
sorry

Yeah, Barry's site has sources for official stuff only, that jwm xdgmenu source doesn't seem hard to edit though, I'll try later.

johnnyw from IRC channel kindly pointed me to this post where Nathan has attached source for menu generator, haven't compiled it yet to see if it's same thing.

It works with rarsa's fluxbox_menu_refresh script and menu.base!
I had to comment few lines in source because menu layout wasn't in submenus, but now works, ok, here is source with bash script and menu.base included and I added line to Makefile to install them in correct places on "make install"

Hi, I'll look for the latest source I can find.
That link was working up until a few days Ago (I had a couple of presentations there too!
I will upload it to some other place and post it here.

Is there a place for me to upload the source for all the menu generators?
I haven't been following the forum so I don't know how that works now.

Are they too big to attach them here? I will mirror them on my site.
Glad you're back.

No, individually the files are small, but I'm wondering if there is a source repository now so they are easier to find.
(I'm not back, I've never left, just don't have as much time as I once did. I still carry puppy with me wherever I go. I also try to keep an eye on how it's going)

thanks rarsa - a traditional pupmenu is still favored by many (respects layout and etc in regard to Puppy-*.menus and directories. Of course it can be convenient to customize a bit for specialized needs or subvert a .desktop entry or so with a multi-wm setup (no wm-specific items in the prime rootmenu when they should be in a 'base' or on a template .. but some few releases of window managers and other standalone add-ons just don't make provision for that and give me things to do and puzzles to solve when they don't play nice in a multi )
thanks also aragon - fairly disappointed with two or three addon wms, etc for lupu (it was like .. this isn't quite the nice fluxbox I'm used to, fast and light but I like the imlib2 stuff as well along with little conveniences like shading windows by mousewheel). Refreshing an 'iconized' menu has been solved? Good if so, even if I'd gotten used to doing it manually to keep the order correct (some alphabetizations didn't respect the subcategory order or even the main (and excellent that there are experts to do such, I've been puzzling in another puplet that seems to have corrupted plinej's heretofore unshakeable blackbox_menu_refresh in some odd manner, but that could very well be just my trifling mess..).
kudos
