The March 2025 ISO refresh of Mabox Linux Istredd has been released, featuring the latest LTS kernel 6.12 along with the slightly older LTS kernel 6.1.
The update introduces a new custom tool named AreaClick, enabling users to initiate programs or commands through clicks on designated desktop areas. AreaClick segments the screen into nine distinct areas, allowing for customization of area dimensions and associated commands. Furthermore, enhancements have been implemented in SuperClick, a utility designed for moving or resizing windows on the grid, as well as in the Window and Workspace switcher.

March ISO refresh with latest LTS kernel 6.12 is ready to download.
ISO with slightly older LTS kernel 6.1 is also available.Some noteworthy new features…
A brand new Mabox’s home-made tool…
AreaClick
Launch programs/commands by clicking on desktop areas (mostly side and corner areas). Idea is similar to hot corners, but you need to click to launch actions so you don’t run programs by accident.
AreaClick divides screen to 9 areas…Configurable area size, and commands.
Openbox’s margins are already set to 2px – to make areas clickable even if some windows are maximized.
Basic configuration is available from Windows & Desktop menu super + alt + d.
See also config file: ~/.config/areaclick.confYou can launch configured actions also by keybinds: super + alt + Keypad1...9.
Some improvements in SuperClick – our other home-made tool – used to move/resize windows on the grid.Now should calculate better WM margins and work better on 2 monitor setups.improved skippy-xd
