X and Fluxbox :: Fluxbox 0.9.10 NEW



Thnx for all the inout Mikshaw..

I actually  figure it all out before i read your latest replies but was confused because my fluxbox appearance was just the same as before with 0.9.10 (no icons in the flux menu for instance) . I guess i have to start reading manuals more... (i assume i have to edit some config-files to get icons there)

Something else: The reason for me wanting to "upgrade" from 0.9.9 to 0.9.10 is because 1) i want icons in the fluxmenu's and 2) I want the fluxmenu to autohide/send to bottom when i open some other application. (but i am not sure that is possible with 0.9.10) With your help i now know how to bind keys (which is great! I use it a lot now) But i am still not sure how i can use that to "kill" the rootmenu (i can open the rootmenu now with a "hotkey" but i still don't know how to kill it using a "hotkey")

Anyway: You've been a great help.. Thnx man
to the second one add bsetbg -solid yellow to change the background colour. and you can put xtdesk after firefox to put the desktop icons there :)
ico2,

Can you be a little bit more specific? Right now i am editing the file: menu (fluxbox) and adding <~/pixmaps/pixname.xpm> to the end of all lines so that i get icons in the fluxmenu. (is working)

I can't make up from your comment wether you know a way to auto-hide/send to the back, the fluxmenu when i am opening an other application.
I included a style with 0.9.9 to show a few of the new features.  I was in kind of a rush to get this one out because I'd put it off so long, so I didn't bother with the style and just used the same one that DSL uses by default.

You say you got icons working in the menu?  That's what it sounds like.

I don't think you can bind a "menu close" to a hotkey, but you should be able to right-click on the menu's titlebar to close it if you don't have any visible desktop space.  This works for me on my suse box, but I haven't tried it on DSL yet.  There are a couple of apparently minor things left out of the extension to get it working in DSL (xft and randr), and perhaps this feature was affected.
Yes icons work in the menu! (but is a lot of work, only xpm-files are allowed so i had to convert the png and gif files from xtdesktop to xpm)

Something else: eversince i choose a style for fluxbox (and saved it with filetools.lst/backup) that style overrules xplanet which i run in the root background.. (because i added -wait 60 my xplanet does show after a minute). Xplanet used to show right away at boottime...

Something else:  part of my filetools.lst

(changes i make in fluxbox only stay after a reboot because i back these maps/files up)
