Brother, 2 things.

Thank you for such a beautiful project.

The first is that I don't understand why it looks like this after having installed everything, is there a solution? (Attached image)

Yes - you need to install the forked XFCE panel under /submodules, it contains a fix for this backported to 4.16.

The second is that I made a bash installer (tested on Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa").

Could have a look - I'm not sure when I'll start working on an installer atm. Needs to be distro-agnostic and whatnot - I have a lot of notes in my head I should write down on #81 .

Then maybe it can help you extract the dependencies, it's for all ubuntu based :P I will try the panel

The problem with the gray background was solved, I only have that space left, that with other themes (like adwaita) the menu opens well. 2022-09-16_09-38

Yeah I'll have a look it might come in handy for 'post-install' tasks. I've been kind of brainstorming how the project can try to support whatever distro the user is running (and how to handle various setups - if they have no DE installed yet or if they are not on XFCE). It's kind of complicated but I should write some thoughts down.

Weird... does this happen if you adjust the default system font in XFCE settings to Tahoma Regular 8pt?

wow beautiful! "Normal Ubuntu 8". 2022-09-16_10-13

I began to investigate to adapt the script that I made, it is possible, the problem comes when you have to play with the arrays of the panel, although I suppose that there must be an option to save the config and restore it on another computer, I don't know, I have to do tests, but I'm not sure, It's more of a hobby than a job. and I'm very lazy xD

Hmm, maybe I'll have to check if there's a widespread bug with larger font sizes then. I know winver has issues with large font sizes but didn't know about the Start menu.

Still need to fix #153 as well

chmodmasx commented 2 years ago

take it easy, don't stress and do it to be happy, as a hobby, otherwise you'll end up hating the project xD If I knew how to program I would help you, but what I know is very basic. Maybe if you need to test and don't have time, I can help. Telegram chmodmasx

Yea don't worry I 'chip away' rather than work on this flat out. It's just good to keep bugs in mind so I don't forget to sort them out eventually. :grin:
