Openbox UI feedback

Post by bark-woof-fetch »

Just listing my user experience using your default Openbox settings for FossaDog and DebianDog.

FYI only, can edit to my own prefs of course but thought you'd might find a user report useful anyway.

some features I'm missing:
a clever launcher alt+F2 alternative, dmenu, rofi, etc.

I'm constantly going through the menu and can't recall what's in either
Accessories
FossaDog Special
Module Tools
Settings
System

a keyboard layout switcher that can be assigned a keyboard shortcut combo, with dock indicator

conky pinned, ie. not hidden when alt+D'ing to show desktop

*edit: a better screenshooter, with copy to clipboard

suggesting moving <item label>:

RemasterCow
RemasterDog
Make ISO from frugal install
FossaDog-Frugal-Install
FossaDog-Full-Install
Fix USB (reclaim the space after...

to <menu id="FossaDog Special" label="FossaDog Special">

and perhaps <menu id="Module Tools" label="Module Tools"> as a submenu under there

@fredx181 are my desktop pref. notes of any use to you? Would you prefer github issues instead if they are?

Hi bark-woof-fetch, yeah, sorry for not replying earlier, I'm in a rather inactive period these days.
(need to put my energy and time in other things than computer)
Maybe later I'll pick up development again and look at your suggestions, thanks anyway !
