 Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2024 1:38 pm Post subject: Help with Xfce feature [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I tried to search for it, but I think it is too specific.
On my whisker menu used to have a button to turn off and when pressed appeared a little window showing 6 possible options I think, like:
Turn off, Hibernate, Reboot, Suspend... If I remember correctly was 6 possible buttons and now I can't find it anywhere and I don't know how to configure it back.
Anyone knows how to make it happen again?
[SOLUTION]
I just emerged xfce4-meta and the feature reappeared.

It is called "Action Buttons"
Right click on the panel bar-->>Panel-->>Add New Items-->>Action Buttons.

If it's about the button in the menu, right-click on Whisker menu icon --> Properties --> Commands tab --> check the "Log Out..." case, associated command should be "xfce4-session-logout"

Yes, almost it! But it was under whisker menu. It functioned almost like gnome/kde when you click it and appears a little window showing these action buttons, as if it was to confirme what to do.
It appeared as a button like you get when follow
| Code: | | Right click on whisker menu button -->> Properties -->> commands. |
And it appends a little button on whisker menu. The difference is that before when I clicked the button, appeared that little window in the middle of the screen, showing all the buttons like a little confirmation dialog
Is it some kind of bug, some missing library? some use flag i did not use?
anyone out there is using xfce and know what i am talking about?
Other thing I noticed, when right clicking on whisker menu button appears a little menu, on this menu there is one option that I can't click, it is greyish like it is unavailable.
The option that is unavailable is Edit Applications.
Is it normal? Anyone out there can click on it?

For "Edit applications" to be available, you need a menu editor. I don't remember what's the default on Xfce, but you can use alacarte.
Emerge x11-misc/alacarte, then go to the commands tab (as explained in my previous post), check the Edit applications case, and set associated command to alacarte. |

It's not about the button. The button is there, is about the little window that does not appear anymore.

I just installed alacarte, but the button "edit applications" keeps unavailable. |
