: **Compiz Boxmenu** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to have an xdg menu in compiz-boxmenu. The first one, |
|
|
|
auto-updates the menu, every time the menu is called. The second one, |
|
|
|
updates the menu only when the user wants to. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, keep in mind that Compiz Boxmenu supports multiple formats. Thus |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Dynamic Menus** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit your //~/.config/compiz/boxmenu/menu.xml// file with your favorite text |
|
|
|
editor and add a block of code like this inside the root //<menu>// element: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
<item type="launcher"> |
|
|
|
<command mode2="pipe">xdgmenumaker -nif compizboxmenu</command> |
|
|
|
<icon>applications</icon> |
|
|
|
<name>Applications</name> |
|
|
|
</item> |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can also run //compiz-boxmenu-editor// and click the |
|
|
|
dropdown for new menu files or menu items. Select launcher to create a |
|
|
|
new launcher. Set the name of the launcher to whatever you want. This will |
|
|
|
be the display name for the pipe menu. Then enter in: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``xdgmenumaker -if compizboxmenu`` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the command entry. Click the combobox |
|
|
|
next to the command text box and switch that to "Pipe". |

|
``xdgmenumaker -if compizboxmenu`` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into //~/.config/compiz/boxmenu/menu.xml//. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can also run //compiz-boxmenu-editor// and click the |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``xdgmenumaker -if compizboxmenu`` |
|
