Original entry from 18th of March:

Postx-programs package is now upgraded. Kernel will happen next week – since this time coding and tweaking took a lot more time than expected.

PostX-programs brings new versions for:

PostX-Calendar, which is now QT5.

Quick Terminal, which now has a cleaner interface. Also, some commands like copy and paste are now living within a right click menu.

Power-Manager is also now QT5 and it has some Openbox related and PostX Gnu/Linux related integration in it(lock screen=i3lock, quit desktop=openbox related etc.) Power-manager still uses only sudo. I will integrate su features in the next version.

Upgrade for PostX Gnu/Linux users (in  terminal): sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Volume-scripts released

During the PostX 0.4.2 development I made scripts, which enabled the user to control the volume of multiple sound devices with the same key press. The end result is that you can adjust the volume of Bluetooth headset, HDMI audio source or a standard volume output with the same keys.

These scripts are written with Bash and you should have pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and xfce4-notifyd installed in order to use these. I also recommend that you install xbindkeys so that you can easily map your keys.

Here is a snippet from my my .xbindkeysrc file:
