Dedoimedo review of MX-18
Re: Dedoimedo review of MX-18
Great review, we also should not be complacent and try to improve things.
Re: Dedoimedo review of MX-18
I agree. I've been banging around a bit playing with things....

Re: Dedoimedo review of MX-18
Always room for improvement. Perfection is an elusive goal we should aspire to. One comment, an application only panel can be achieved by adding a second xfce panel without needing plank or other panel apps. But that is not obvious and maybe an MX Tweak option could be developed. Thinking out loud.

Re: Dedoimedo review of MX-18
I have been prototyping that (multiple panels) in the children's MX Desktop I'm building. There's good and bad news to using xfce-panels rather than Plank.richb wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 7:28 pm Always room for improvement. Perfection is an elusive goal we should aspire to.

- Plank doesn't come through on a snapshot always. I don't know why.
- xfce-panel looks really old school because the icons do not change size as you Mouseover them....
- xfce-panel though is stable, survives snapshots nicely and just works.

Re: Dedoimedo review of MX-18
The thing is that people younger than we are... yes, there are a few :lipsrsealed: ... are used to having certain icon behaviors. Xfce-panel doesn't have them.

You are right and I was going to refer to my old fa%^ism but desisted.

Re: Dedoimedo review of MX-18
Yes... perhaps best left as it is. As my oldest grandson said this week (he's 5.5), "opa (that's me) I love you, even if you are old."
