I don't see anything that I know which to change.
Where are config partners?

Sort of where you'd expect: .config/gsimplecal/config

Check man gsimplecal to see your options

Obviously you are running the MX21 Xfce version --> and then installed mx-fluxbox from MXPI afterwards. That's why gsimplecal and config was not installed.
As it is now, your gsimplecal is undecorated and opening centered under mouse pointer by default.

Suggest you create a "config" file in ~/.config/simplecal/ ~/.config/gsimplecal/ with below basic settings:

config

Code: Select all

    show_calendar = 1
              show_timezones = 0
              mark_today = 1
              show_week_numbers = 0
              close_on_unfocus = 0
              external_viewer = featherpad
              clock_format = %I:%M
              force_lang = 
              mainwindow_decorated = 1
              mainwindow_keep_above = 1
              mainwindow_sticky = 0
              mainwindow_skip_taskbar = 1
              mainwindow_resizable = 1
              mainwindow_position = none
              mainwindow_xoffset = 0
              mainwindow_yoffset = 0
Above 'mainwindow_decorated' and 'mainwindow_position' settings will ensure that you can drag it to where you want it - and tell fluxbox to remember its position (as described in post #187).
Change the other settings to your own preference.

Hope this helps

As you mentioned, there was no config file created when gsimplecal was installed?
Neither in /simplecal nor /gsimplecal?

With the slight change show below, this works perfectly.
-- Suggest you create a "config" file in ~/.config/simplecal/ with below basic settings:
+ Suggest you create a "config" file in ~/.config/gsimplecal/ with below basic settings:
And all is well.

You betchum, Red Ryder!
Perhaps this can be included in the bundle in MXPI.
Thanks for the guidance!

@Richard Sorry for the typo; New Year celebrations probably proved too intense...
Anyway, pleased to see you solved the issue

Hello Jerry3904
Do you have a wood-burning fireplace in your home?

shot.sh is 851bytes.

my last Quickshotshot.shscript of 4.4KiB with console fallback values
when stripped of interactive console echoes
and stripped of all gui messages
and no need of a configuration file,
change of fun changes to clean fun,
it is 1187bytes.
It silently delivers a screenshot.

Help file comprehensive ="click Quickshot Launcher." EOF.
basename command configured to -s timestamp.jpg.
console encompasses key and menu item commands.
console Usage: basename command [OPTION] [SUF]
note Usage not include input OPTION blank;
not full screen, blank is conveniently reserved for
launching the basecommand blank definition default -s.
(though note fallback console is a blank. Familiar can advantage the expected fallbacks, but You did not want to hear of console; the click Launcher gives always a screenshot. one line 36bytes amongst all this stuff.)
From console command exceeding two fields will fallback screenshot.
truqe or truqu or truq indicator in the namestamp after console use of fallback value.
bonne aventur~

Hello Everyone
With The word numerous, combinations when writing about
Quickshot
excitedly overstated a number.
Jerry3904's latest has two options and two suffix.
four combinations. plus one default can be five combinations.
I scripted with three options and with jpg and png can be
six combinations.
Added some SUF.
Four or six Quickshot combinations are not really numerous.
The truth was stretched at the time.
