Visit Chapter 7. The Slit of the Fluxbox manual to learn more. I found a batch in my Debian repos by running apt-cache search dockapp. Mine looks like this:. Be sure to read the man pages for your individual dockapps because they usually have multiple useful options.
You can easily test them first on the command line. For example the wmweather dockapp needs to know what your local four-letter weather station is, and man wmweather tells you how to find out.
Some dockapps require the -w option to dock properly, and again the man page will tell you. Run the fluxbox -i command to see where configuration files are, compiled options, and version number.
This is my favorite feature of all. Figure 4. To remove an app from your tabbed group, simply middle-click drag it on out of there, or click to bring it to the front and click the close button.
Each app operates normally with its own tabs. Notice how the window titles display full titles and file paths. OpenOffice for one. Come on folks, we dumb lusers really do want to know where our files are. The default Fluxbox fonts on my Debian system were not pleasing to my eye, so I changed them. XDM To run Fluxbox from xdm you should setup a. From Commandline To run Fluxbox from the commandline login, setup the.
Another option is to use lxappearance. To change gtk theme for root, simply run gtk-theme-switch2 or lxappearance from root terminal. This shows you how to edit GTK settings without any extra application installed.
It's a matter of readability in this case. Slit The slit is a special window frame that can contain dockable applications, e. When applications are run in the slit they have no window borders of their own; instead they are framed in the slit, and they are always visible in the current workspace. You can click button 3 on the edge of the slit window to get a menu to configure its position, whether the applications it contains should be grouped horizontally or vertically and whether the slit should hide itself when the mouse moves away.
Most dockable applications use the -w option to run in the slit. To use the slit you must have it compiled into Fluxbox, this is the default configuration.
When you first log in, the screen is mostly empty because all Fluxbox provides are panels for a taskbar, system tray, and so on and window decoration for application windows.
If your distribution delivers a plain Fluxbox desktop, you can set a background for your desktop using the feh command you may need to install it from your distribution's repository. This command has a few options for setting the background, including --bg-fill to fill the screen with your wallpaper of choice, --bg-scale to scale it to fit, and so on.
By default, Fluxbox auto-generates a menu, available with a right-click anywhere on the desktop, that gives you access to applications. You can:. The text configuration files are easy to reverse-engineer, but you also can and should read the Fluxbox documentation.
The menu also provides a few preference settings, such as the ability to pick a theme and restart or log out from your Fluxbox session. I launch most applications using keyboard shortcuts, which are entered into the keys configuration file.
Here are some examples the Mod4 key is the Super key, which I use to designate global shortcuts :. Between these shortcuts and an open terminal, I have little use for a mouse during most of my workday, so there's no wasted time switching from one controller to another.
And because Fluxbox stays well out of the way, there's little distraction. Fluxbox is very light on system resources, yet it has vital features to make your user experience easy, blazingly efficient, and unduly fast. It's simple to customize, and it allows you to define your own workflow. Post by acemi » Post by contredire » Post by Bro. Tiag » Post by izar » Privacy Terms. Debian User Forums Skip to content.
