What is KBFX FOR LINUX?

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:

1. make -f Makefile.cvs


2. ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`


3. make


4. make install (AS ROOT)

Workaround for Suse and Gentoo:

1. Download automake 1.6 and install


2. Run kde-config --prefix to find out your KDE prefix


3. Open kbfxconfigapp/Makefile.am


4. Replace $(KIO_LIB) with -L/opt/kde3/lib/ -lkio


5. Compile as normal
