X and Fluxbox :: Dockapps



Hi!
I want to add some new dockapps, but I dont know how!
Please help me!
Thanks!

Step 1:

Visit a site like:

http://dockapps.org/

to learn about your possible dockapps.  WindowMaker or "wm" dockapps should work fine with DSL/Fluxbox.

2) Choose Synaptic from the menu. Exit the program after installation is complete.

3) Open an xterminal and type:

sudo beaver /etc/apt/sources.list

Place a "#" at the beginning of the "stable" line
Remove the "#" from the beginning of the "testing"line.
Save and exit beaver

sudo apt-get update

Then start up Synaptic again and look for your desired dockapp in the list of programs.  Hopefully, it is there.  Select it and install it.

Go back to your xterminal and type:

wmdockapp

where "wmdockapp" is the name of your new dockapp.
See if it works OK.  Then press CONTROL-C to exit the dockapp. Then type:

beaver .xinitrc

Add a new line immediately before the "fi" line and type

wmdockapp &

where "wmdockapp" is the name of your new dockapp.

Save and exit.

Exit the window manager from the menu.

When you get back to the command prompt, type:

startx

and your new dockapp should be there.

If you are not running from an hdinstalled system, you will need to use the dsl backup/restore process or your changes will be lost upon reboot.

great!
it`s easy!
thanks
