Description
KBFX FOR LINUX
KBFX is an alternative to the classical K-Menu button and its menu. It improves the user experience by enabling the user to set a bigger start button, replacing the Win95-like K-Menu. If you still prefer the old menu, it's available as an option, but we recommend trying the Spinx bar.
Key Features:
- Selecting an application group
- Locating and logging out of the desktop
- Locking and launching KBFX settings manager
- Scrolling up and down the list
- Extra features: double-buffered widgets to minimize flicker, animated bars, new tooltip, GIF, MNG file support
Installation Steps:
- make -f Makefile.cvs
- ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
- make
- make install (AS ROOT)
Workaround for Suse and Gentoo:
- Download automake 1.6 and install
- Run kde-config --prefix to find out your KDE prefix
- Open kbfxconfigapp/Makefile.am
- Replace $(KIO_LIB) with -L/opt/kde3/lib/ -lkio
- Compile as normal
What's New in Stable Release:
- Changed layout and font
- Updated configfile specs
- Added fade transition effect on the KBFX button
- Install guides for using checkinstall
