I find this very handy, it saves me having to remember where things are located in the menu.

Click Menu --> Settings --> Config - User --> Edit Fluxbox Menu

Add a line to the bottom of the first section so it reads:

Code:

[exec] (Terminal) {wterm -tr +sb -fg white -T "antiX"}
[exec] (Browser) {opera}
[exec] (Email) {claws-mail}
[exec] (Files) {rox}
[exec] (All applications) {rox "/usr/share/applications"}

Clicking this entry will open a screen of all installed applications listed alphabetically

Edit: just realized I have Opera as the command with browser--sorry, that was not the change I intended to highlight (although for me Opera is a perfect match with antiX).

That's a great tip Jerry, thanks for that. I love finding out all these little things that make the whole Fluxbox experience even more fun than it already is! Smile

I'm glad you like it too. Maybe anti will consider it for the next release?

Didn't *find" that exactly--I got the idea of adding such a link from one of the discussions here a while ago about menus, and have grown to use it a lot.

Not to knock you great tip jerry but it you want to add this to the menu why not just edit the menu to suit you needs?

Again I don't mean to offend and it is a great tip.
