Questions about fluxbox

1.Is there a 'Run Program' menu like that in xfce?

2.What's that bar in the right side of the screen? I can see a bar in many screenshot. It's so cool.

gkrellm is a System monitor package for GTK2, it has a number of little plugins you can use.  I use conky for that type of info myself.

They're all either in the repo or AUR.

gkrellm is in the current/ repo:

pacman -S gkrellm

will get it for you.

conky is in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … _Orphans=0

Re: Questions about fluxbox

I fail to see how that answers the question...

To pronounce GKrellM say the "G" then "krellm" as in bell. The name stands for (with a little flexibility, take your pick):

      GNU (or Gtk) Krell Monitors (or Meters).

If you have seen the movie Forbidden Planet, you might recall the Krell had a room with wall to wall meters for monitoring their power systems, and that is what I was thinking of when I came up with the GKrellM name.

Re: Questions about fluxbox

Anyway, your answer does some help for me to remember the software.

Re: Questions about fluxbox

To jackmetal, I can't install conky because my system is lack of mdsplib.
And I find it is not in the repo.

mdsplib is in aur. Build that first then conky.

fbrun is what you're after. Might need to put a shortcut in your menu if there isn't one. fluxbox-generate_menu should add one though...

Re: Questions about fluxbox

Yes, I generated my menu with fluxbox-generate_menu, but I still havn't the fbrun.
I can only run it from terminal.
Can I add fbrun to my menu by edit any config file?

Re: Questions about fluxbox

fluke: add this to your menu
[exec] (Run) {fbrun}
that will give you the run command.
