Manjaro-based Mabox Linux 25.12 introduces panel and menu improvements, a revamped update notifier, and completes the transition away from the aging GTK2 toolkit.

Mabox Linux, a lightweight, rolling-release Linux distribution based on Manjaro and designed around the Openbox window manager, has released version 25.12.

One of the most visible changes is the improved panel and its dynamic menus. The volume icon by the system tray now works more consistently: left-click mutes or unmutes, the mouse wheel changes the volume, and right-click opens pavucontrol.

To recall, the right-click action was previously tied to the Music & Sound menu, which remains available via the W-m shortcut or by clicking the top-right corner of the desktop.
