X and Fluxbox :: new themess
hi
is there a way to instal the themes from the fluxbox website to use in DSL?
thanks
Sure.
Style file goes in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles/
Background goes in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds/
Typically these directories are already in the archive, so you should be able to extract it into /home/dsl/.fluxbox/ without trouble.
You may need to change the "rootcommand" line in the style file because most of them probably use fbsetbg, which doesn't exist in DSL. Try bsetbg instead.
Thanks for the suggestion Mikshaw!
But how can I edit the commandline to install the theme? I can download the file to usr/share/fluxbox/styles but I also cant unpack it using the bunzip2 command
Thanks for your help!!
not sure what you're asking....
Can't unpack it because you don't know how, or because it doesn't unpack?
.bz2 = bunzip2 -d filename.bz2
.tar.bz2 = bunzip2 -c filename.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -
.gz = gunzip -d filename.gz
.tar.gz = tar -xzf filename.tar.gz
If the directory structure is set within the archive you don't want to extract it in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles. Doing this will create extra styles and backgrounds directory inside the existing styles directory, and the style won't be found.
use the emelfm after the and go where you have downloaded the file and then double click on the file
the emelfm prog will open the archive and put it on temp directory
after you opened the archive on the other window go to /home/dsl/fluxbox/and there you should see two directors with names backgrounds and styles...put the files from the archive into directoires where you need them and then go to styles and open the style you are interested in
...at the bottom you will find a comand : rootCommand...there you will put the
command for your picture if you have one...bsetbg -f /home/dsl/backgrounds/name_of_the_file_.jpg
hope you are satisfied...
