Thanks @Caprea, but I must respectfully decline your offer to continue such discussion with the said user in private… No interest on my part…

“Toogle toolbar’s window previews on/off“ The script is working fine here, thank you.
BobC
That’s slick, PPC 🙂 I was wondering where that came from the other day (because I liked it), and caprea chimed in he wanted to turn it off, LOL.
It is OK for people to have different ideas. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But we should all at least think about the ramifications for others as well when we are working on stuff.

@BobC: yeah, I saw your post about that – I forgot to explecitly reply to it – sorry about that: FT10 provides 2 kinds of “window thumbnails/previews”: one kind if straight from the toolbar (you hover on the icon for a running window and tint2 tries to display a preview for it) and the other one (from the window switcher button, next to the Menu button) is done via an external program (by default skippy-xd)… The funny thing is that, with window previews toogle to off and toggle the toolbar to display names of running windows next to the icon, tint2’s toolbar looks like the default antix toolbar 🙂
To all: Proposed script to change FT10’s toolbar’s settings in a easy way (toggle 12/24h; toggle show seconds on/off; toggle the way the date is shown). The only thing I want to add to this is “toggle show date on/off”.
The code:
#!/bin/bash # Small script to manage tint2 toolbar clock settings ### # The script was created by PPC #Manage format of clock hours clock-12-24 (){ original_time_format=$(egrep "^time1_format =" ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc | cut -d'=' -f2) SUB='%H' if [[ "$original_time_format" == *"$SUB"* ]]; then echo "currently showing 24h" seleccao="%I:%M" else echo "currently showing12h" seleccao="%H:%M" fi #Edit changes in tint2rc config file sed -i "/^time1_format =/s/$original_time_format/ $seleccao/g" ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc # restart tint2 killall -9 tint2 nohup tint2 & exit } #Display/hide seconds in toolbar clock clock-show-seconds () { original_time_format=$(egrep "^time1_format =" ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc | cut -d'=' -f2) if [[ $original_time_format == *":%S"* ]]; then echo "Clock IS displaying seconds!

I think you are right, Ile, thanks. Which brings me to a until now not seen problem.
Sure I’m blind but I can’t make changes there, being under the impression on my screen the “OK” (or something similar) button is missing.Even if scrolled down till end.See screenshotEDIT: Ok. I solved this by using the “full screen” option from the top bar by right clicking mouse or Alt+F11.
The window decoration buttons did not work for that.See scrennshot 2- This reply was modified 3 months, 4 weeks ago by caprea.

The “Apply” and “Ok” buttons are on the lower right (on the unscrolable part of the window). Try Alt + F11 to put the tint2conf window in full screen mode.
Like I said, I find that tint2conf is not that intuitive to use… That’s why I developed FT10’s very own toolbar configuration scripts…Edit: Nijaed on this, of course…
New version of the script that manages the Toolbar’s Clock (very nearly finished, it’s missing localization and some extra details- I’ll also clean up all the “echo” stances, they are there only for troubleshooting during development). I also thought it was logical to add the choice to set time and date from this configuration window:

Like I said, I find that tint2conf is not that intuitive to use… That’s why I developed FT10’s very own toolbar configuration scripts…
Ah, I see, in the end it would might be better if not reachable from menu or is it only a problem here on my laptop?
in the end it would might be better if not reachable from menu.
I kind of agree – the tint2conf desktop file is automatically made available when tint2 is installed (and it’s installed as a dependency of FT10’s package).
I can change the “Enable FT10” so it deletes that .desktop file… But I deslike changing user’s systems more than strictly needed. and also, it’s part of tint2 package – for advanced users it’s great that it’s available- an user that knows that FT10’s toolbar is in fact a tint2 toolbar (and what that means) and masters that configuration program, they can tweak even more of the toolbar’s features that my scripts allow- since the app allows to change literally all aspects of tint2 toolbar, create multiple toolbars etc… You can, for example, create a tint2 toolbar, call it “dock” and configure it to display only quick-launchers and currently running windows. You can then configure FT10’s toolbar to be placed on the top of the screen, and run the secondary “dock” tint2 toolbar on the bottom – This gets you a more MacOS look and Feel. As you see, the possibilities are endless- so endless that I still am not comfortable using tint2conf.
My aim is making the menu and toolbar easily configurable by a regular user that does not want to deal with very complex configuration screens. Also, I tried to implement the configuration windows like they are all part of the “system” – an easy to use and easy to configure system. Tint2 toolbar is not as powerful as the default IceWM toolbar, for example. But it all the configuration scripts I wrote, it’s very easily customizable and offers some nice extras (like the window previews, that some users like, others don’t).
The single feature I miss from tint2 toolbar is that it does not allow access to the “Window” menu – on FT10 it can only be reached by right clicking the title bar of the window. Then again, most times that folks right click the icon/title of an open window, on the toolbar, is to close it. So, on FT10, I configured right clicking an icon on the taskbar to simple close the related window- it’s a time saver, once the user gets the hang of it…P.
The latest ft1010, version 1.5 is now in beta: https://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/ft10-transformation/-/raw/main/ft10-transformation_1.5.b1_all.deb
Please, if you can test it, and report any bugs here.
Remember it’s a beta, it may be buggyChanges:
-Fixed bug that did not allow to correctly add favorites to the menu
-In the Categories Menu – now the first entry is “All” and the last entry is “antiX” – it makes sense, since the first categorie looks selected when users open the menu.
-In the Tiled Menu – removed the torrents icon and replaced it with the DDG web search
-Added the GUI to search the web without a browser, using ddgr – this can be handy for old computers that don’t run modern browsers that well
-The tint2 configuration window now has 2 columns
-The tint2 configuration window now lets users toggle window previews on/off
-The tint2 configuration window now lets user change the clock and date: 12/24h, change date format, hide clock and date, hide clock, and even set time and date (it’s a logical place for it, like in Mobile Devices)To do:

we need the .pot files in Transifex for the final version of the 1.5
So, please let me know when there is something stable and finally checked, ready for uploading to transifex, then I’ll update the outdated existing FT10 resource on contribs immediately. When ready, please point me to the .pot file to use.
Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.
Thank you, Marcelo and Robin, and the rest of the translation team
PS: I forgot a change that can be handy, specially for users of virtual desktops- if you install the package “xfdashboard“, it will be used as default FT10 window switcher – and it allows to drag and drop windows between virtual work spaces, close windows straight from the previews- it also works as an app launcher / temporary dock.
This tiny change will make FT10 much more usable with virtual work spaces- one feature that I’ve been wanting to add for ages…P.
