(SOLVED) Add/Remove application task bar Openbox Salix 14.1

[miracleman]

Hi All

Since yesterday I'm looking for how to remove / add application in the task bar on the SalixOpenbox 14.1 release.

If anyone has an idea I'm interested. I search in vain on the web but there nothing clear about it unless I become very old. I use Linux since 2005

Thank you in advance

As I think I more or less said in the French forum, the best way with Openbox is probably to use the menus. WHile it is possible to do what you're asking, it isn't straightforward, whereas the menus configure themselves automatically when a new applicaiton is installed.

thank you for your reply ...

I posted on the forum French but it does not seem reactive.
To return to my topic, add / remove applications in the taskbar does not seem to go through the menus. I tried this way and there is nothing on that side.

thank

Edit the file ~/.config/fbpanel/default
e.g. to add gimp add these lines after line 226

Code: Select all

button {
            icon = gimp
            tooltip = Gimp
            action = gimp
        }

to autohide fbpanel, change line 122 from autohide = false to autohide = true
save the file then logout and login openbox

Ok now when I fix like this I see the icons in taskbar but the launcher doesn't work

icon = libreoffice4.2-writer
tooltip = LibreOffice 4.2 Writer
action = libreoffice-writer


Well if I just put at line ( action = libreoffire ) it's work partially I can run general board of libreoffice and then I need to select the appropriate soft. Good but not the best I can live with that little inconvenience.

thank

Hi,
I'm not Openbox user, but in Xfce4,from a terminal,one can open Libreoffice writer using the
command "libreoffice4.2 --writer".

hope this helps

Should be

Code: Select all

lowriter

for 'Action'

Hi All,

Exactly my friend ! line action is: lowriter

Recap:
If someone need to add/remove soft in Openbox Taskbar

Step by step:

1. Go to /home/salixisgreat/.config/fbpanel
2. Open the file * default * with geany ( root is not necessary )
3. Go to line between 42 at 93 (for me)
4. Change what you want with exactly description
5. Logout and Login
6. Congrats


My example code in Default file :

Code: Select all

Plugin {
    type = launchbar
    config {
        button {
            icon = user-home
            tooltip = File Manager
            action = spacefm
        }
        button {
            icon = utilities-terminal
            tooltip = Terminal
            action = lxterminal
        }
        button {
            icon = gimp
            tooltip = Gimp
            action = gimp
        }
        button {
            icon = vlc
            tooltip = Vlc
            action = vlc
        }
        button {
            icon = galculator
            tooltip = Galculator
            action = galculator
        }
        button {
            icon = libreoffice4.2-writer
            tooltip = LibreOffice 4.2 Writer
            action = lowriter
        }
        button {
            icon = libreoffice4.2-calc
            tooltip = LibreOffice 4.2 Calc
            action = localc
        }
        button {
            icon = libreoffice4.2-impress
            tooltip = LibreOffice 4.2 Impress
            action = loimpress
        }
        button {
