Other Help Topics :: minidock/wmbutton/wmdrawer



I am looking for a replacement for wmbutton (starting up app's with one mouseclick on a picture from the slit)

I tried minidock but i can't compile it. wmdrawer seems to work in debian but i miss a lot off stuff (pic's, .wmdrawerrc, etc..) to make it work.

Anybody know any good replacements (or just good tips?)

All this could be avoided if i could install the latest fluxbox (has icons in the menu!) but i am not that smart  :D

I have been able to use bbdock.

here is a screenie with it being used on one of my remasters.

Did you got it as a tar.gz or as a deb? (i assume you had to compile it)
I have been using the wmdrawer successfully..
It seems to run a whole slew of apps with no issues..
I replaced the "drawer" icon with a homebrew "Damn Small Linux" text icon.

I have a better screenie at home, with many more icons loaded,
like xine, mplayer, and the Openoffice suite..
Maybe when I get home tonite..

I'll be happy to send you my .wmdrawerrc to help with
setting up the stock DSL items, if necessary..

I have this working as a .dsl, with a preset wmdrawerrc.
I will upload soon..

Nice screenie, clivesay..  :)
You should post it up in the SCREENSHOTS thread,
so others can find it..

Patrick:
Using the fluxbox-0.9.9.tar.gz from the repository is very easy.
Once you've "mydsl-load"ed it , exit X , then type
"start_fluxdev" to begin using the development version.
exit again, and use "startx" to return you to the stable version.

Perhaps you were refering to an even later version...
