Which software/apps do you use most on MX?
Re: Which software/apps do you use most on MX?
You guys convinced me to give TheWord app a shot. Looks good so far. Wondering how you get the app to fill the screen though, maximize doesn't seem to work.

+1 -- theWord on Wine is definitely the best Bible study solution that I've found, its amazing!!! https://i.imgur.com/ZgWvQZk.png I used to use e-sword, but theWord is much better IMHO. Gone are the days of spending hundreds of $$$$ on Bible programs/modules, for me anyway.

On mine, I use the three-column layout, which is the max. The column on the right is really two floating windows.

it's very similar to eSword, in that the Base program is Free, & then there is some paid Add-Ons.
NB: due to popular demand, the Author of eSword has ported the program to to other Platforms,
& including iOS - which is, of course, a Paid Version.
- it's a Good Program, & the Guy has ben working pn that project, for many, many years, now.
also2: I've got both of these programs, working under Linux & have exported them both to an Archive,
as an back-up, too.

Do make sure that you UNcheck "Use skinned window border" (setting under View/Skin on menubar) as it will potentially cause problems, especially if you use multiple monitors.
There's lots of tweaking to do...I found all the diff features just by clicking around on all the little icons and drop-arrow buttons, etc.
EDIT: ya once you set it as I stated above you''ll be able to just double-click on title bar and theWord will then properly full screen maximize.

Guys, we are sort of taking over this thread with the Bible software, so I'm starting a dedicated thread to Bible software where we can discuss this topic thoroughly. Thanks!

I use pretty much the same programs with any distro. Mageia is my main OS. Firefox, filemanager(PCmanFM-Thunar), hexchat, terminal, VLC, Audacious, to name a few the most.
