ADesk Menu .. a menu for your systray (Page 3 of 4)

Thanks. BTW would it be possible to have the applications sorted alpabetically?

Also can you make adeskmenu use the current icon theme for the applications? Im using the Gnome-Brave icon theme but adeskmenu is using the Gnome icons.

for testing : adeskmenu-0.3.2.tar.bz2

Now adeskmenu should use the current icon theme for the applications/categories.

- gnome-brave

- elementary

- simplygrey

Would it be possible to add a "refresh" action to the right-click menu?

What I mean with refresh is to recheck the available .desktop files. After installing/removing an application, the files may change.

I have this desktop file:

However I noticed that Adeskbar doesn't respect the last line "TryExec=gnome-terminal". What should happen is the program/menu checks if gnome-terminal is present on the system. If it is present then the desktop file will be displayed in the menu (as normal). If it is not present then the item should not be displayed in the menu.

True .. I only check 'Name", "Exec" and "Icon".  ( added to my todo-list )

@doomonyou : Thank you 

Wonderful tool. Very functional. However, I have an issue.  I am running Mint (sorry CrunchBang) and ran your menu.  The icon is in the systray in the tint2 at the bottom of the screen.  When I click it, it attempts to display the menu below the panel, which of course, is off the screen.  When I move it to the top, it still only displays about the cursor size of menu.  I tried to run from the command line with the -t option, and it still only shows the partial menu.  If I kill the the menu and restart it, it displays correctly, but still not if the tint2 panel is at the bottom.  Please help.

Thanks.  I made it sleep for 5 seconds and that is sufficient.  However, I have two issues to evaluate:

1) If I place the tint2 panel at the top of the screen, the menu works perfectly.  If I place it at the bottom, it attempts to display below the panel, which is only a pixel or two.  I tried your code, 0.3.2, in another distro and it works fine.  How can I analyze why it will not display above the tint2 panel?

2) This is very curious but not really an important issue for me.  If I run the command 'adeskmenu -t' from the command-line, adeskmenu begins seems to process out of control and utilizes 100% of one of my processor cores.  This does not happen if I click on the icon in the system tray.  Even when I click away from the menu, it still takes 100% utilization from one of my cores.  Very strange.

Love the menu.  Would prefer to have my tint2 panel at the bottom of the screen so if you have any ideas i can test, i would be happy to do it.  Thanks in advance.

AdComp , one of my fav programmers, who made adesk-menu, adeskbar and madbox has disappeared from the internet radar; his site is down.
Lets hope this will be only a temporarily loss.
Try adeskmenu:
download: http://www.cstrois-lacs.qc.ca/chenebleu … k-menu.zip
and install instructions:
after download extract and put it as root in /usr/bin/
make it executable: sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/adesk-menu
Edit with leafpad /home/user/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
add this line: adesk-menu &
Restart openbox or reboot and it will show up on the right in your taskbar.

I found this, it is a project which started as a patch for ADesk-Menu

       http://code.google.com/p/snapfly/

the developers are Russian but some of the site is in English

I just tried to download pierre_morissette_adesk-menu.zip and it is 404
Did anyone ever find out what happened to ADcomp ?
Do they have a witness protection program in the EU, or alien abductions ?
