Fantastic, it's exactly the only thing missing to Tint2, and now Tint2 could have a menu !
I test your menu, no bugs for the moment ... good job !
I keep it on my systray, thanks you ADcomp wink

Edit : I just change the logo for a more "CrunchBang" one

It is good i really like it, but when i have a web browser open for example the menu pops up behind the window.

Great work as always big_smile Works flawlessly on default 9.04 install cool

craigh · 2009-12-15 18:58:58

I have got htop in my system menu but when I click on it X crashes, the mouse moves but i can't click on anything or use any keyboard shortcuts. I am still testing it to find bugs.

rizzo · 2009-12-15 19:02:32

^ ah, you found a bug smile X doesn't crash for me but htop just doesn't launch.

Yes me too.

@ADcomp : why you don't create au launchpad page, in order to put all your project ? It's could be great ! smile

ADcomp · 2009-12-15 22:02:21

Hello .. thanks for feedbacks big_smile

So , here first update : adesk-menu_0.1.tar.bz2

* htop should work fine now ..
* menu should always appear above other windows ..
* adesk-menu -s => save menu to ~/.config/adesk-menu/config. So you can modify it to custom menu
* ..

Bye

craigh · 2009-12-16 00:12:20

I have tested it again and it appears above all other windows. I generated the config file using the command so I could change the command to get htop working because nothing happened when I clicked on it in the menu.

Hi craigh,

One question .. Do you have x-terminal-emulator on your system ? ( I use it if 'Terminal=true' in .desktop file .. like htop )

david@acer-desktop:~$ which x-terminal-emulator
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
david@acer-desktop:~$ ll /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator -> /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
david@acer-desktop:~$ ll /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator -> /usr/bin/terminator

if not , you can modify adesk-menu ( line 83 ) .. simply change x-terminal-emulator with your terminal app. ( terminator ? )

            cmd = "x-terminal-emulator -e %s" % cmd

to

            cmd = "terminator -e %s" % cmd

i love it! this is going straight into my autostart. many thanks ADComp!

tawan · 2009-12-16 07:21:54

It really is very good, works very well in an instant smile

As you know with openbox the menu is always just where you want it - right click anywhere and there it is.. Could this menu somehow be called up also by clicking on the desktop? - say with CTRL+Right click, or middle click or something?

no .. not yet, anyway.

ADcomp · 2009-12-16 11:00:53

Hi tawan,

Here for you : adesk-menu_0.2.tar.bz2

Video : ADesk Menu v0.2 ( youtube )

adesk-menu -t

So now you can call up menu with any key|mousebind you want .. big_smile

Bye

hey nice!

I have added it to CTRL+ALT+m - it works perfectly.

I'd like it on a better combination but that is a minor detail for me to work out, thanks a lot, it works great.

@ADComp, there is a slight problem with your adesk-menu -t feature....it won't work unless adesk-menu is already running. I find this to be a problem because I'm using your cbpanel program (which I enjoy very much, thank you) and I wanted to get the menu button to display adesk-menu. There is already an icon in the systray, however, making it redundant. I'm sorry if this seems petty but I rather like my menu buttons to be on the corner of the screen, which with cbpanel, adesk-menu is not...could you help me out?

I was also curious as to whether cbpanel was still in development....I don't know python myself but am willing to learn if you don't mind me taking it over. Could you point me to some good resources, please? Thanks.

ADcomp · 2009-12-16 18:47:00

Hi mahatman2,

Ok .. I guess so, like add an option to not show icon in systray. I do it when I have some free time wink

cbpanel is more like a 'proof of concept' .. Most people here use tint2

Python is cool cool

Aight, THanks! THis will come in handy.

would you mind if I tried my hand at cbpanel? I don't know what I'd do, but I thought your permission might be nice.

@mahatman2: go smile .. but take care! I'm not a guru coder .. so perhaps my code isn't a good example hmm

send me a PM is you need more info.

harii · 2009-12-22 00:12:24

Its better than thelauncher - better memory usage.

option to not show icon in systray

- super
and an option to control placement of the menu.

Would be great for my oroborus + tablaunch desktop.:D

cbrunos · 2009-12-30 19:26:46

It doesn't work for me sad
I execute the script, the systray icon does appear, however whenever I click on it, the menu seems to appear but it appears off screen (I don't know if I explained clearly...my tint2 systray is on the bottom right, when I click on ADesk Menu, it seems to appear but under the icon...which makes it appear off screen!)
I'm using Compiz as a standalone WM.

ADcomp · 2009-12-30 20:17:12

@cbrunos : menu works fine with openbox / tint2 ( top or bottom ) .. so it's maybe compiz and I can't help you. sad
but if I have time , I install compiz ..

cbrunos · 2009-12-30 20:48:57

I tried to put my tint2 on top of the screen. This time it works perfectly! The menu comes down and I can see it. It seems to be an orientation problem.
But what I'm interested in, is being able to ctrl-right click anywhere and summon the menu.
But the

adesk-menu -t

doesn't work, even when adeskemnu is already running...do I have to put the adeskmenu executable somewhere specific for this function to work?

Hi,
adeskbar is beatiful app. Still i have some questions (i am newbie here, so maybe these questions are answered):
1) how can i run multiple docks (and can i configure each one separate)?
2) how can i set them to work at startup?

Thanks and regards
