How to replace menu in fluxbox
SuSonicTH:
HI!
First of all I want to say thanks for that great distribution! I tried many different small and live distributions and I like Tinycore best for it's size, performance and flexibility.
But now to my Question:
I have Tinycore 3.0 installed and I'm using fluxbox as my windowmanager because I like to have a taskbar. I would like to replace the standard menu with my custom one to have a submenu with some scrips for wifi or connecting to some smb shares and so on.
The editing of ~/.fluxbox/menu is no problem but it gets overwritten on every startx. How can I prevent that automatic menu generation?
Thanks in Advance for your help,
Michael
P.S.: Please excuse my poor english.

Has it been added to your /opt/.filetool.lst file?

Actually the window manager's _initmenu is called from startx.
This allows for easy switching of window managers and occurs after restoring from backup or bootlocal.sh.
If your goal is replace our dynamic menu with a custom static one, then I would think a copy should work from within .xsession after waitforX and before the call to "$DESKTOP".
Using a custom static menu will likely break any further automatic updates to such menu.

Thanks that did the trick!

I just experienced the exact same problem, as I prefer to edit the fluxbox menu to suit my particular needs and then keep it that way, so I was very happy to find this thread . . . But, I'm not sure what you mean by putting "a copy" in .xsession. I see the "waitfor X" and "DESKTOP" is the next line in my .xsession -- so something goes in between. What exactly goes there? Thanks.
