Items now included on the antiX setup by default:
From within tint2:
-- meteo-qt: weather app (I'm not very excited about this app; other recommendations are welcomed)
-- orage calendar (click the date)
-- kupfer (semantic launcher search/ function. It is activated by the <Insert> key.
From within autostart script:
-- tint2 is started
-- feh (wallpaper) is started-- it is set to randomly change backgrounds
-- jgmenu (it is modified to closely resemble Whiskermenu available on xfce)
-- numerous icon application launchers
-- date & time (clicking on the text activates 'orage'
-- Volume master (sadly the icon is black)
-- tint2 is started & positions itself, currently, at the screen bottom
-- compton is started (default settings are established/ set from within compton-conf.)
Current Bugs:
-- fluxbox, the non-icon friendly wm (does not display icons for kupfer or meteo-qt) on the toolbar. I think it's probably a jpg/ png/ svg thing.
-- the meteo-qt iconset is itty bitty!
Desktop icons... I'm still trying to figure out what to do with them. I plan to hack around with the antique iDesk code to see what is able to do. I really am not happy with what spaceFM, PCmanFM do to (with?) wallpapers. Ideas here are welcome.
Performance---
-- Description of the VBox platform I'm using for this effort may be found at the end of this message.
The base desktop (as described above, according to htop, seems to idle on:
-- iceWM at about 360 MB . Conky reads out at under 600M (Somebody -me?- needs to fix conky, I guess).
-- fluxbox at about 330 MB (probably because they don't waste any memory on displaying icons correctly.)
-- jwm at about 322MB
-- openbox idles at just under 350MB
I am considering creating an optional taskbar that mimics MX's standard left-side layout. The tint files I develop will be equally usable on antiX and MX. My fees for either are identical.
If you have materials you'd like me to consider adding to this mix of 'tiny tools'. Please make them available via download (from somewhere easily accessed). Any information you can provide will be helpful. I promise I'll check them out. I won't promise to add them to what I'm buiding, but you will be able to add them to your setup soon!
