Donation request

1

don,t ever send me a request for donation again,i gave a donation before but have had issues with mabox such as tint2 panel system tray ram usage showing double what ram actually is,after new install on a new laptop cursor changing size and color when i open browser,any browser.this all occured after 12/8/25 update/upgrade and has not been addressed as of yet.and since when did developers send request for donation directly to a user,this request appeared as a notification on top of a weather app i was viewing at the time,doesn,t this go against the linux philosophy?don,t intrude into my personal life.

Hi @coffeejohn

How to avoid donation notification after 100 day’s.
Hack mabox mb-status…

cp  /usr/bin/mb-status ~/bin
geany ~/bin/mb-status

This is the snipped code for the notification and showing icon in panel.

#updates=100
status(){
if [[ "$DIFF" -gt "1" ]];then
if [[ $((DIFF % 100)) == "0" ]] && [[ ! -f "$CFGDIR/.$TODAY" ]];then
touch "$CFGDIR/.$TODAY"
dnotify &>/dev/null
fi
fi

#disk space
dirty=0
if [[ "${disk_limit}" -gt "0" ]];then
	while read DEVICE SIZE USED FREE PERCENT MOUNT
	do
	[[ "${PERCENT::-1}" -ge "${disk_limit}" ]] && dirty=1
	done < <(df -h | grep '^/dev' | grep -v 'boot' | grep -v 'loop' | grep -v '/run/media')
fi
[[ "${dirty}" == 1 ]] && msg="<span fgcolor='${WARN_BGCOLOR}'> 󰻌 </span>" || msg="<span fgcolor='${OK_FGCOLOR}'> ${OK_ICON} </span>"
[[ "${updates}" -gt 0 ]] && msg="<span bgcolor='${WARN_BGCOLOR}' fgcolor='${WARN_FGCOLOR}'> 󰮯 <sup><small><b>${updates}</b></small></sup> </span>"
echo "${msg}"
}

Change it to

#updates=100
status(){
if [[ "$DIFF" -gt "1" ]];then
if [[ $((DIFF % 100)) == "0" ]] && [[ ! -f "$CFGDIR/.$TODAY" ]];then
touch "$CFGDIR/.$TODAY"
dnotify &>/dev/null
fi
fi
}

#disk space
dirty=0
if [[ "${disk_limit}" -gt "0" ]];then
	while read DEVICE SIZE USED FREE PERCENT MOUNT
	do
	[[ "${PERCENT::-1}" -ge "${disk_limit}" ]] && dirty=1
	done < <(df -h | grep '^/dev' | grep -v 'boot' | grep -v 'loop' | grep -v '/run/media')
fi
[[ "${dirty}" == 1 ]] && msg="<span fgcolor='${WARN_BGCOLOR}'> 󰻌 </span>" || msg="<span fgcolor='${OK_FGCOLOR}'> ${OK_ICON} </span>"
[[ "${updates}" -gt 0 ]] && msg="<span bgcolor='${WARN_BGCOLOR}' fgcolor='${WARN_FGCOLOR}'> 󰮯 <sup><small><b>${updates}</b></small></sup> </span>"
echo "${msg}"

Use in tint2 executer :

mb-status

The diffrence is the } at the end moved after ‘fi fi’.

Save it and no more DONATION notifications in the future.
Your Mabox system is probably 100 day’s old. It would notify after 100 days again.
