saturnian 615 Posted May 19 One complaint I have about Fluxbox: The list of windows on the iconbar is arranged by the order in which each window was opened. The window buttons on the iconbar can't be rearranged, as far as I can tell (if anyone knows differently, please leet me know!). I like to have windows open on different workspaces, and I want the windows on Workspace 1 to be listed before (to the left of) the windows on Workspace 2, for example. I found an old feature request here: https://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/feature-requests/94/ But they got the terminolgy wrong. "Rearrange toolbar buttons order" should have been "Rearrange iconbar buttons order", or "Rearrange iconbar window list order", according to how those things are named in man fluxbox.

Hedon James 887 Posted May 19 I am the same way. Which is why I disable the fluxbox taskbar and use Tint2 instead. FWIW... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saturnian 615 Posted May 19 I've been doing the same thing, but I'm playing around with a new Fluxbox setup and haven't disabled the toolbar and installed tint2 (yet). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saturnian 615 Posted May 19 So that this wouldn't annoy me anymore, I switched the iconbar mode to show windows from the current workspace only. I can use the middle mouse-click on the desktop to bring up the Workspace menu. Showing KDE apps running here on Workspace 2: Maybe someday that feature request will be taken care of!

I don't think much has changed with Fluxbox since I used it 15 years ago. Actually it hasn't been updated in 5 years.

saturnian 615 Posted May 20 A workaround I found: https://bgstack15.wordpress.com/2019/09/05/rearrange-windows-on-iconbar-in-fluxbox/ Moves the current window's button on the iconbar to the end of the list. Not the ideal solution, but it does work for rearranging those window buttons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
