Have a Full openbox TC????
« on: December 02, 2025, 09:40:35 PM »
Mods ? , can I post this here???

I have a 700mgz laptop that needs a job to do , I've posted already about how to have xscreensaver working https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27873.0.html , maybe it's resolved now ? I dunno.

But I'd like a more full openbox install on my TC for this dumb laptop.. I'd like to have tint2 as a panel , but I'm not really understanding everything , Also the extra components of openbox..

I don't want a "heavy" openbox , just something that looks better than the out -of-box- experience with TC ..

Maybe something like that????  how do i do that???   any advice on what I could do for something that looks good , plus works good????

BTW , i have tint2 installed , but it doesn't do anything right now...

Hi Richard Cranium
... BTW , i have tint2 installed , but it doesn't do anything right now...
Information on its use appears to be here:
https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/blob/master/doc/tint2.md

According to the  .info  file:
Code: [Select]
Configuration gui tint2wizard depends on pythonFound here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/tcz/tint2.tcz.info
So it sounds like after installing python, you can execute:
Code: [Select]
tintwizard.py
Also, the  .list  file shows the man page is included:
Code: [Select]
usr/local/share/man/man1/tint2.1Found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/tcz/tint2.tcz.list
So if you install  man.tcz , you can view the man page for tint2:
Code: [Select]
man tint2
