Something else I'm working on ATM are links to rox filer compatible icon sets. Please add your links!
Of course the first place to go for info would be the ROX desktop home page.

Not everything you need is posted there however.
*Note* These scripts are rather rudimentary and surely someone better at BASH scripting than I could probably come up with something much more clever and useful but these do get the job done.
Installing .debs
To install .debs with root privilages simply call gksu to execute a dpkg -i script. Here's mine:
Code: Select all
aterm -bg black -fg green -tr +sb -geometry 145x5 -bl -e dpkg -i $1
Now all you need to do is make the script executable and set the run action for all .debs to
Code: Select all
gksu dpkgi "$@"
I have a strong dislike for any and all archive managers. They waste my time with unnecessary questions and ideally they should just unarchive the file and get out of the way. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to get rox filer to unpack your archives without ever answering a single question or clicking any buttons. First, create a script:
Code: Select all
cd "`dirname $@`"
unp "$@"
Then, simply set rox filer run action (for all archive types) to
Code: Select all
unarc "$@"
Burn CD images
Make a script that calls your favorite terminal emulator:
Code: Select all
xfce4-terminal -x wodim dev=/dev/scd0 driveropts=burnfree,noforcespeed fs=14M speed=10 -dao -eject -overburn -v $1;eject /dev/scd0
Burn DVD images
Make a script that calls your favorite terminal emulator:
Code: Select all
xfce4-terminal -x growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=$1;eject /dev/scd0
You must then of course customize your right click context menu under the 'Send To' item and simply add burndvd & burncd.
