Openbox+Extras 1.1.2 (2013-03-01)

Openbox+Extras Fat Edition now available, see first post

For Spanish speakers, this tiny .pet translates the Shutdown entries in the Openbox menu. It is not included in the package because these scripts haven't got an internationalization method applied yet:

Para hispanoablantes, este .pet diminuto traduce las entradas de Apagar en el menú de Openbox. No se incluye en el paquete porque estos scripts no tienen un método de internacionalización aplicado todavía:

Where is my sda1 icon ?

Where is my sda1 icon ?

I'm sorry, the Tint2 panel does hide an icon, which for most users happens to be the floppy drive icon -- no one uses it, and few people remove it from the Event Manager. But, you can change the panel to bottom position from the Menu > Desktop > Tint2 configuration, then you will be able to see all drive icons above the panel.

--- and why does CTRL-Alt-BACKSPACE not work ?

That's a heavy one, I'll investigate. What Puppy are you running? Does it happen with both panels or just with Tint2 panel?

BTW, for Wary 5.3 Tint2 requires libjpeg.so.8 to work, the libjpeg.pet from the Wary repo doesn't solve this. I haven't found a suitable package yet (all I find is 64bit packages, I need a 32bit one). Meanwhile, for Wary/Racy users Lxpanel is recommended.

[vicmz]

I have just noticed that two launchers in the Tint2 panel lack icons.
I have uploaded the main openbox_plus_extras-1.1.pet package again with a fix for that. Those who have downloaded the fat edition, however, will have to download the Tint2 panel .pet ↓.
You can also open the launcher files in geany:
/usr/share/tint2/facebook.desktop
/usr/share/tint2/twitter.deskop
And change the icon path to:
Icon=/usr/share/tint2/FaceBook_48x48.png
Icon=/usr/share/tint2/Twitter_48x48.png
Until I manage to get a broadband spot where to upload the 24MB .pet file with the fix.

why does CTRL-Alt-BACKSPACE not work ?

Sorry, I wasn't able to reproduce the bug, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works for me in Precise (I assume you're using Precise or a Precise-based derivative because of the speaker icon -- Tint2 doesn't work in Wary/Racy and Slacko doesn't have that speaker icon design). Could you give more details?

These could automatically be moved to right! Right

Do you mean you can't see the panel launchers, you want to move the panel vertically to the right of the screen, or you want to move the launchers to the right of the panel?

I'm using Precise 5.4.3, too. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace works for me. I wonder what's wrong?

[vicmz]

The Tint2 configuration file is /root/.config/tint2/tint2rc, if at line 49 you set this value:

panel_position = top center horizontal

and restart X, the panel moves to the top of the screen, making all drive icons visible. I tried to move the panel to the right but I got a broken left panel instead. I'll ask nilsonmorales and josejp2424 how to include top and right position options.

[josejp2424]

las configuraciones están en , /root/.config/tint2
para poner la barra arriba .

para poner la barra arriba

tint2rc

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL

panel_position = top center

panel a la izquierda .

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL
#---------------------------------------------
panel_position = right top vertical

vicmz traducelo amigo.

[vicmz]

the configurations are in /root/.config/tint2

to put the bar to the top


tint2rc

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL
#---------------------------------------------
panel_position = top center

panel to the left (you mean to the right, don't you? - quieres decir a la derecha, no?).

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL
#---------------------------------------------
panel_position = right top vertical

It's what I explained above. The only position that doesn't work is Right, after applying the panel stays on the left and becomes ugly. Else work well.

Es lo que expliqué arriba. La única posición que no funciona es la Derecha, después de aplicar el panel queda a la izquierda y se pone feo. Las demás funcionan bien.

add width of new panel to every x in $HOME/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

I edited PuppyPin so that the drive icons start at 96, then restarted X. Back to the desktop, the floppy disk icon was missing, and the sda icon behind the panel. I'll keep testing.

vicmz, thank you for this! Downloaded the fat pet version, using LX panel, working well on Wary5.2.2. Problem free at this stage.

That's good news!

Remember you can customize the panel by right-clicking it then choosing Panel Configuration. In the Appearance tab you can choose between apply the current GTK theme, apply a solid colour with opacity (set opacity to zero for a transparent panel), and apply a background image (for this one you'll have to set the panel height to fit the background.png because the latter has a lower height).

You can also right-click the panel then select Create New Panel, put the new panel opposite the taskbar, add the Application Tray plugin and put your favourite programs, the new panel will act as a dock (see the screen captures in the first post).

[Tote]

Yes, thank-you, this is just what I wanted. I've been making changes, trying things out. Just what my Wary install needed to spruce it up.

Thanks again!

anda muy bien el script de L18L .

Thanks for packaging this, great to see good Openbox support on Puppy.

new version 1.1.2
lxpanel bug fixed by 01micko (lxpanelctl breaks the panel when reloading in transparent mode).

I was unable to update the fat version, still no broadband spot available for me. Downloading or uploading files heavier than 10 MB overheats the battery of my phone and is a difficult task on a very slow connection.
