Had a chance to go back to my brother's house today and took a "leap of faith" and installed antiX. The Kodak printer was recognized right away & printed just fine. Couldn't scan, but it's not a deal-breaker for him. I'm going to close out this thread, since "greyed out" is t...

Okay. Thanks for sharing that information, anticapitalista.

Watched one of Dolphin Oracle's videos and he has the control center open for longer time, so I see the grey color is normal. Is it something to do with running in virtual box? This is the first time I've tried to use virtual box (followed another one of Dolphin Oracle's videos to set it up for anti...

I was concerned about the operating system (antiX), not the printer. I was wondering if it is normal behavior on the live CD (and once installed) for the control center NOT to give you the option to add a printer? It may be the case, and someone can quickly tell me it's normal and I have to add pack...

I'm wanting to install antix on an old desktop but only if I can confirm the printer/scanner will work first. From the live CD for antix 16.2 386 (full), under the control center, the option to setup a printer is greyed out. I went ahead and installed antix onto a virtualbox on my laptop hoping it w...

Can't figure out the xclock, but managed to come up with a solution that works nicely. I went ahead and added a second panel in DESKBAR MODE, centered it at the bottom of the screen and clicked to hide the panel intelligently. gave it two rows, increased the font size, and added the Orage panel cloc...

Got the placement to bottom, center, with this: -geometry -500+1000.

So now I've got: xclock -d -update 1 -fg cyan -bg black -geometry -500+1000

And it runs with a keyboard shortcut! Sheesh, maybe I can figure this out...

So if I use my shortcut to bring up the xclock, I can enter "wmctrl -r xclock -b toggle,above" in the terminal and get the window to be "Always on Top" like I want it, but I can't figure out how to do it all as one line. Maybe I need a "sleep" command in between (like x...

Since it doesn't stay on top, I had the idea to just hit my keyboard shortcut to call up the xclock again whenever I want to see it and use "Alt-F4" to close the window it's in when I'm done. But "Alt-F4" doesn't have any effect on the xclock window (it just closes out my web bro...

I have added a keyboard shortcut to display the date and time but would like for the window to open as "Always on top" by default. Not sure how to do this. I've tried the following in the terminal: xclock -d -update 1 -fg cyan -bg black && wmctrl -r xclock -b add,above (and also tr...
