Installing Mabox tools and configuration on other Arch‑based distros?

Let’s experiment and share what we discover.

I will play with CachyOS and Openbox.

A freshly installed CachyOS with Openbox. I like it. It reminds me of the days of my first experiments with Openbox, and the excitement I felt back then :slight_smile:

Thunar and xfce4-terminal is here.

It’s not easy at the moment, but I’ll do my best to make this process easier.

So far… so good… everything seems to work as usual.
Some changes needed in mabox tools… but mostly cosmetic one.

Another thing for me on EOS, i only can trigger auto-theming direct click, automatic auto-theming is not working.

Update test:

After an update i need manually do checkupdates.sh, so the status icon gets back to ‘all up to date’.

When there are new updates, mb-status behaves as expected.

Did a new installation. KeepinOn testn…

I will try to prepare metapackage with all Mabox’s initial configurations and all packages needed as dependencies + maybe script to copy needed settings into user home directory.
