Adding a custom menu to Fluxbox is very easy, this is how.
The default ~/.fluxbox/fluxbox-menu file looks like this, it reads the /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu file to create the root menu for Fluxbox.
[begin] (fluxbox) [include] (/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu) [end] |
But if you add a simple submenu to it like this, then you get a more useful Fluxbox menu that can be personalized with more of your favorite applications.
[begin] (fluxbox) [submenu] (Favourites) {} [exec] (Xterm) {xterm} <> [exec] (Terminal) {mate-terminal} <> [exec] (Audacious) {audacious} <> [exec] (Firefox) {firefox} <> [exec] (Smplayer) {smplayer} <> [end] [include] (/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu) [end] |
This way, you may add your favourite applications to the menu. I found it annoying that the Terminal and Firefox entries were not on the menu for Linux Mint 16. But this fixes this issue easily. Just add this to your ~/.fluxbox/fluxbox-menu file and restart Fluxbox.
