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

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...

Gimme gimme gimme! Beautifulll... (ps: i was indeed refurring to fluxbox 0.9.10 (with icons in the menu!). I use flux 0.9.9 now (without icons on the desktop because i use chbg to change the background every minute with a picture from my archive, that way i get to see old pictures from the photoalbum)
Nice desktop!

Another shot..Here is the wmdrawer as I have it now..
When retracted, it leaves the desktop very open..

is that a media player docked there?
