Fluxbox menu icons (Applications + OnDemand)

[Misalf]

These are modified scripts from the Fluxbox extension, which will generate menu / submenu entries with icons for the 'Applications' menu (if defined via .desktop files), and for the 'OnDemand' menu (if loaded and defined via .desktop files).

I know, icons can look pretty bad in fluxbox but it still makes it way easier to quickly find an app in the menu without using your brain a lot.

I'm not sure if the scripts will be executed directly from  /usr/local/bin/  so the extension might better be rebuild (for personal use).

Works for me.
However, I didn't test it in every possible scenario so don't hesitate to complain. q:

Will do the same for Openbox later.

Why are spaces removed from names in menus?

Code: [Select]

gsub(/ /, "", name)

Great, maybe this would work in hacked box also

Tryed it.
Hackedbox seems to be unable to display icons (?).

[coreplayer2]

Pity, thx for trying
