A follow up to my previous post…
Stuff I would change in antix 19.4 (and probably 21 too):
– The default icewm toolbar would not have the root file manager (dangerous in newbies hands, and I think that more advanced users don’t really need it there)
– I would add antiX updater/the GUI updater icon and “Toolbar Icon Manager for Icewm” icon (so users can, at a glance, know how to add/remove icons to the toolbar)- this last part is not treating users like babies, but to allow a faster and more intuitive management of the toolbar (Adding icons there should not have to imply searching the menu, the forum or the wiki…- first gain the users trust, making essential features easy to use, them dump all the power and customization goodness of antiX on them)
– Once again: what’s the refresh menu entry doing on the first layer of the menu? Move it to the “applications” submenu, since it refreshes only that particular menu”- also, both this menu entry and the GUI update app having the same icon can be confusing…
-Why the separator on the start of the menu between file manager and web browser» Why is it separating Main application shortcuts?
– fix the recently reported bug in antiX updater- that does not allow it to correctly display a message when the updated is successfully performed (my bad, sorry)- and add it’s icon to the title of the window, I can do that also- that way it ends up looking more professional.
– Use zzzfm as a replacement for spacefm as a secondary file manager choice- it has some bugs flushed out and is better localized, it’s lighter on system resources…
– Use an alternative GUI program to gdebi, as installer for .deb packages (I developed a GUI script, similar to yad-updater, that allows to install or purge .deb packages- it’s a light alternative, maybe there are others out there).
