X and Fluxbox :: Fluxbox funkified?



libretto -

Once you installed the .dsl there should have been two items added to your myDSL menu to configure flux and restart the WM. Did you see them?

Well can't see any .dsl just found dsl-fluxbox-0.9.9.tar.gz

or do i just rename .tar.gz to .dsl ??? :laugh:
you don't have to rename it.  The mydsl-load script will handle it in the same way as a .dsl file.
The difference is that .tar.gz extensions are packaged so that they install only to directories which are already writable when you first boot up the liveCD: /opt, /tmp, and /home.  This helps with RAM usage and prevents accidentally writing over system files.

The menu item won't be there in the next version of flux extension.  I repackaged it last night to use a shell wrapper instead, and it's much less sloppy this way, in my opinion.

BTW, I was trying to figure out what happened to the tabs.
It turns out that they're still there, but instead of being a separate object sticking out of the window they are fused with the titlebar...pretty cool.
When will the revised package be ready in the testing repository?
No idea.  Ke4nt has to check out all the submitted extensions, plus he's testing DSL 0.8.  In addition, since it's a Fluxbox replacement he has to be extra certain that it won't mess with the current one.
But I should be sending it out tonight...just have a couple of modifications to make first.
