My little adeskmenu project.

I found an old version of adeskmenu on launchpad and figured it would be nice to take advantage of tint2's new launcher feature. So with a help from MoD from silver.irc we re-worked the script to just open the menu when clicked. Here is a screenshot.

All you need is the single page menu script and a .desktop pointing to it.
Here is the code for the menu script.

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

##
#  ADesk Menu
#   - v0.2 : add signal , get cursor position and show menu whith it
#   - v0.1 : check if 'Terminal=true' in .desktop file, always above other windows

#   This script was edited from the original by sliphot and MoD from silver irc.
#   I thhought it might come in handy with tint2s's new launcher feature.
#   We re-worked it so it will open the menu in a designated area of the screen when the script is executed. 
#   by default it opens in the top left corner of the screen. To adjust go to line 369 and adjust x= and y=
#   Make this script executable and move it to /usr/bin after that make a .desktop file pointing to it.
#   Point tint2 to the .desktop file and presto! tint2 desktop menu. It can be a little slow to load.
#   It helps to run it once in a terminal with the -s option. it saves a config file of all your .desktop files.
#   If you install a new app after you have ran the -s option you will have to run it again to update the config.

        g_menu.run()

and here is the .desktop file.

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=menu
Exec=/usr/bin/adesk-menu2
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png

Make the menu script executable and move it to /usr/bin "sudo chmod +x adesk-menu2 && sudo mv adesk-menu2 /usr/bin/"
After that put the .desktop file somewhere like ~/.scripts and point tint2 to it. After that you should be good to go. By default the menu opens in the top left corner of the screen. If you need to adjust where
the menu opens edit line 369 in the script.

Re: My little adeskmenu project.

Dumb question:  Is adeskmenu different from adeskbar?

Looks nice what version of tint2 is that?

Can you show me the tint2 config?

@ Sector11
ADeskmenu is the menu for ADeskbar, although it will work independently.

When one downloads ADeskbar the "ADeskmenu" is with it?

I don't know I don't use it but I have a link to ADeskbar on Conky PitStop as ADComp is gone and some, ie mrpeach for one, have come up with scripts for using ADeskbar interactive with conky.

Do I need anything else? I'm collecting any and all links of what is available out there as I find them.

It is ADeskbar 4.2

If anyone knows any python and can make the script run better are more than welcome to do so. Might be fun to tinker with.

Re: My little adeskmenu project.

Sorry i aint posted. life gets a little crazy sometimes.

Happens to the best of us, I blame my mind - it's going!
Or as my friend use to say:  My forgetter is getting better!

Just my looking at yours, I fixed a problem I was having with mine regarding the launcher.

Thank you.
