I often run programs maximized (leaving no desktop area). I want to be able to use my mouse alone to open the menu, and my mouse has no scroll wheel. I'm just going for a simple old school windows look.
How can I put a menu button on the fluxbox toolbar?
In your
$HOME/.fluxbox/init
file, look for the line that defines the tools on your toolbar, and add a "RootMenu" item where you want it to appear. Here's what mine looks like:Edit: Solution at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3551120&group_id=35398&atid=413963#
there's the Fluxbox Tray Menu http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftmenu/ but unfortunately it has to be in the system tray...
right now I'm using "Mod4 Mouse3 :RootMenu" and "OnToolbar Mouse2 :RootMenu" in my keys file

Then you need to follow this steps:
1.- Edit "menu" file under .fluxbox hidden folder:
2.- Delete manually all text and copy and paste this:
save and close
3.- Restart fluxbox or close session.
4.- Activate menu, right clic in desktop and clic in "Update Fluxbox Menu"
Here an snapshot of all menu apps when you give right clic:
