Hi everyone,
I'm liking AntiX so much that I'm installing it on my faster computers, not just my slow one! __{{emoticon}}__

I just wanted to ask a few things; any quick links are appreciated if people don't want to explain too much.. __{{emoticon}}__

1) I've installed Thunderbird as my email client. How do I make it the default app, and appear in the menu? (I've set it in the control center, but it still defaults to Iceape Mail.)

2) Can Iceape Browser default email links to Thunderbird? If so, how?

3) I know that I'm using AntiX 11, and it seems my default session is rox-icewm. Are there advantages to using icewm vs. fluxbox or others? Or is it just a matter of taste? Is there a big difference in terms of cpu/ram usage?

4) Does conky"remember" the settings of IceWM if I log in under Fluxbox?


Any help much appreciated. I'm been reading much, but some answers are hard to find..

brian

Type in terminal

Code: Select all

which thunderbird
That shows the launch path for Thunderbird.
You can add thunderbird to the Icewm Taskbar or Fluxbox Menus via the Control Center in AntiX.
I am on my LXDE Laptop right now so I can't show you how to edit via control center.
I think there is a menu editor also in the menu for stock AntiX 11 full iso also.

As far as Desktop Environments go. It's like taste in women. Depends on a persons tastes and perceptions.

Conky remembers in AntiX 11 from Icewm to Fluxbox.

Thank you for your replyrokytnji. I've tried setting Thunderbird as default through the control center but when I click on an email link it opens Icemail, so there must be something missing somewhere. I've had this same problem on other distros too, and I've never been able to resolve it.

In a few hours I'll be at my AntiX PC and I'll try the command you gave above. I'll also look for a"menu editor" to see if that helps.

I tried the command but it didn't produce any results. Also, I canot find a menu editor. I'll keep trying...

I also forgot to mention what shows when you use

Code: Select all

locate thunderbird
also.

I'm on my Stock AntiX 11 full install on my IBM A22m while I am posting.

In the Menu under Desktop>Icewm>Icewm Control Center is a toggle mailbox status.
That was what I was referring to earlier.

I don't run Thunderbird but I run Iron Browser and have edited menu and toolbar in Icewm for that. My example
Menu:

Code: Select all

Thunderbird did not get installed.

In antiX and Debian, the equivalent to thunderbird is icedove.

Install via synaptic or apt-get

where did you install thunderbird from? in debian thunderbird is renamed in to icedove. my suggestion is to install that one and use it. the menus have an auto update feature and there is a program in the latest antiX that sets the default browser and mail client. iceape is seamonkey rebranded, if you don't like it, you could use iceweasel (firefox). i would like to help you more, but i use gmail not a mail client. good luck.

rokytnji,

I DID IT!!! __{{emoticon}}__ )
I followed your suggestion to edit the menu file and now it appears in the menu bar!! __{{emoticon}}__ __{{emoticon}}__ (Ok, it still isn't the default mail client, but it's where I like it to be, and I'm sure there'll be a way to make it default later. (I prefer thunderbird simply because email is very important for my work, and thunderbird has a"delivery status notification" option under Options. If Icemail had it, I'd probably just as soon use Icemail.)

Thanks much for your time! --I think I'm learning what using Linux is all about!

Thank you to anticapitalista and darkd, too! __{{emoticon}}__
