ADesk Menu .. a menu for your systray (Page 1 of 4)

Fantastic, it's exactly the only thing missing to Tint2, and now Tint2 could have a menu !
I test your menu, no bugs for the moment ... good job !
I keep it on my systray, thanks you ADcomp

Edit : I just change the logo for a more "CrunchBang" one

Great work as always Works flawlessly on default 9.04 install

^ ah, you found a bug X doesn't crash for me but htop just doesn't launch.

Hello .. thanks for feedbacks 

So , here first update : adesk-menu_0.1.tar.bz2

* htop should work fine now ..
* menu should always appear above other windows ..
* adesk-menu -s  => save menu to ~/.config/adesk-menu/config. So you can modify it to custom menu
* ..

Bye

Hi craigh,

One question .. Do you have x-terminal-emulator on your system ? ( I use it if 'Terminal=true' in .desktop file .. like htop )

david@acer-desktop:~$ which x-terminal-emulator
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
david@acer-desktop:~$ ll /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator -> /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
david@acer-desktop:~$ ll /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
/etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator -> /usr/bin/terminator

if not , you can modify adesk-menu ( line 83 ) .. simply change x-terminal-emulator with your terminal app. ( terminator ? )

            cmd = "x-terminal-emulator -e %s" % cmd

to

            cmd = "terminator -e %s" % cmd

i love it! this is going straight into my autostart. many thanks ADComp!

no .. not yet, anyway.

hey nice!

I have added it to CTRL+ALT+m - it works perfectly.

I'd like it on a better combination but that is a minor detail for me to work out, thanks a lot, it works great.

Hi mahatman2,

Ok .. I guess so, like add an option to not show icon in systray.  I do it when I have some free time

cbpanel is more like a 'proof of concept' .. Most people here use tint2

Python is cool 

@mahatman2: go .. but take care! I'm not a guru coder .. so perhaps my code isn't  a good example

send me a PM is you need more info.

It doesn't work for me
I execute the script, the systray icon does appear, however whenever I click on it, the menu seems to appear but it appears off screen (I don't know if I explained clearly...my tint2 systray is on the bottom right, when I click on ADesk Menu, it seems to appear but under the icon...which makes it appear off screen!)
I'm using Compiz as a standalone WM.

I tried to put my tint2 on top of the screen. This time it works perfectly! The menu comes down and I can see it. It seems to be an orientation problem.
But what I'm interested in, is being able to ctrl-right click anywhere and summon the menu.
But the

adesk-menu -t

doesn't work, even when adeskemnu is already running...do I have to put the adeskmenu executable somewhere specific for this function to work?
