xde-run

Provides a run command dialog for running applications from the command line using a graphical utility.

Figure 1: Run Command – Centered xde-run.png

Figure 1, above, illustrates the run command dialog centered in the middle of the screen. This is the only placement. Placement cannot be controlled with options.

The image shows the run command dialog launched with the adwm window manager and using the squared-blue GTK (window contents) and ADWM (window decorations) theme.

Figure 2: Run Command Dialog xde-run.2.png

Figure 2, above, shows how the run command dialog appears.

The image shows the run command dialog launched with the adwm window manager and using the squared-cadet GTK (window contents) and ADWM (window decorations) theme.

As with a number of other XDE applications, the dialog attempts to get it’s theme settings from the ~/.gtkrc-2.0.xde file instead of the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file so that it can maintain consistency with the window manager decorations instead of the applications.

Figure 3: Run Command Dialog – Command Selection xde-run.3.png

As illustrated in Figure 3, above, when the drop-down selection for the command is invoked, a history of recent commands is shown. The number of recent commands shown and stored, as well as the file from which they are shown or to which they are stored, can be controlled using options. See man xde-run for a list of options.
