Will there be a openbox edition

[Partha2003]

I was wondering if you will ever consider a openbox edition.

[Syndrizzle]

I don't think so, because currently FVWM does everything that openbox can do, infact its even more extensible, so I'll never have to use openbox :) but I will try, thanks for the idea!

[Partha2003]

Ah well even if you don't make the entire thing from scratch again for openbox, i was wondering if you could make a control center applet maybe which might work on openbox, i absolutely love the one you have made and i hoping to see the same possible in openbox. A humble request from my end, if you have a moment for this endeavour. 🙂

[Syndrizzle]

You can use the control center on openbox as well, since these are just eww widgets.

Actually properly installed eww and copied the config files now but i do not know how to exactly launch it everytime. 😅

[Partha2003]

I found the launch script but the widget itself appears broken.

[Partha2003]

Fyi there was no .config/eww, i manually copied the files and i confirmed use/bin/eww exists. Is there a different config location present?

[Syndrizzle]

Nope, it's just .config/eww, can u share the screenshot of the broken widget?

Issues

• Missing functionalities
• On clicking the arrow of wifi connection, i don't get to change it unfortunately, in fact none of the other arrows really work except for sound.
• Also is there a way to make it appear smaller? Messing with any of the geometry appear to do nothing, except for positioning which appears to work fine.
• None of the control changes colour to blue or grey upon interaction
• Do not disturb is not really toggling

Possible fixes by me

• Icons appear properly now

• For bluetooth you obviously need bluetooth installed
• For the wifi connection arrow, you need the networkmanager_dmenu package
• For changing the geometry, you can change the width and height of the widget in defwindow
• You are missing programs, rfkill for airplane mode, redshift for night light and dunst for do not disturb

Ah well then I'll apply fixes and get back to you.

Again on a unrelated side note, may i request something that you might be able to help me with in openbox? I am really grateful for the help you have provided, but there's one thing i am missing which i haven't been able to obtain, I don't have a disk and drive manager applet, i was hoping if you could help me with that.

[Syndrizzle]
