X and Fluxbox :: Fluxbox funkified?



ke4nt just added a fluxbox-dev extension to the MyDSL Testing Area
Feel free to test that out....with a liveCD preferably, just to be safe.
Goody! testing it now :S
Seems to work well. Thank you!!

I have to figure out how to configure everything. I already like the transparent menu! :)

There is some documentation for fluxbox-dev at http://www.fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php and
http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/en/faq-dev.php

I don't really care for the menu item as it is.  I'm thinking a future package will have:
A wrapper instead of the long menu/xinitrc line.
An easier way to switch between versions.
Maybe include fluxconf or whitebox specifically configured for fluxbox-dev.
Hide the "enable fluxbox-0.9.9" menu item while flux 0.9.9 is running
or
Find a different/better way to enable it
or
Just let the user manually edit .xinitrc

From the rate of development, though, it seems like the big 1.0 is just around the corner...they might have that out by the time I get around to updating this package.
Then again...they may just go to 0.10.0 instead....
Erm, not to sure how to get the flubox tar.gz to unpack properly. Managed to use emelfm to unpack it to my dsl directory, but i had to manually copy it to the /opt directory. This meant that there were no config files added to the 'home/dsl' directory. Is there a proper way to unpack the file ???

Nevertheless managed to load up the new xwindow, but had virtually no menu items. Is this what was intended or should the original menu items and other programs like the slit etc... be there ???

Sory for the nooblike questions, but well done milkshaw :D
