LXDE Forums

I have run LXDE without PCmanfm controlling the desktop. When PCmanfm controls the desktop you can drop/create icons on that desktop, with no desktop control you lose that option (unless you install another program to do that job). Personally I like a clear desktop and have no icons at all ... which...

Just a suggestion, not really tried it myself, but .desktop files can include a OnlyShowIn or a NotShowIn line/value. Something like NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE; or OnlyShowIn=KDE; I've not seen one for LXDE; however so I can't say if LXDE will correctly parse that ??? Most dynamic menus tend to be bui...

Another nice (dynamical) menu showing just "Categories", which comes free with pcmanfm, is the pcmanfm applications menu. You can put a panel launcher for it by using "exec=pcmanfm menu://applications Nice! I've added it as just a 'A' label at the bottom of my (mostly icons only) menu

For instance for one item (lxt...

Is there any way I can replace this "component" or at least make it more functional? LXDE is pretty separated, lxappearance, lxinput, lxpanel ...etc can all be run individually on top of openbox ... or not. If you switched out lxpanel for Xfce's panel then that has a whisker menu choice ....

Try creating a openbox menu with just icons seppalta. For a single layer it looks quite nice - a column of icons to choose from. When there are further layers/sub menus ... not so good as you have a arrow pointer to the sub menu alongside the column of icons. I have the menu pop up by default when t...

I use /etc/fstab also, and for NTFS I have to add the permissions option otherwise I can't set the permissions using chmod on NTFS folders/files
