HiJust got some questions about the DSL desktop:
how do you modify the system monitor in the top right of the screen?
how can you get rid of the boxes that show multiple desktops?
and how can you make windows to not cover the toolbar when they are maximised and how can you keep the toolbar always on top?
thanks

#1. "how do you modify the system monitor in the top right of the screen?"the file is called .torsmorc its a hidden file in your home directory, you make most of the changes in the bottom half.
#2. "how can you get rid of the boxes that show multiple desktops?"
you need to comment(#) out the line in .initrc.-> fluxter &>/dev/null &
you could also put it in the dock instead by changing it to this -> fluxter -w &>/dev/null &
remove it completly by changing to this-> #fluxter &>/dev/null &
#3. "how can you make windows to not cover the toolbar"
rightclick desktop>desktop> configuration>unclick the full maximization
#4. "how can you keep the toolbar always on top?"
same place as #3

Are talking about the toolbar? I just changed the line in /.fluxbox/init to this-> session.screen0.toolbar.tools: iconbar, systemtray, clock

What style are you using? How did you remove the Workspaces frm the toolbar and then move the workspace boxes to the right middle? That is adecent rendition of Fluxbox and I usually hate using Fluxbox.desNotes

The style i'm using is called "Xbox" . The workspace name is removed by changing the line in .fluxbox/init to "session.screen0.toolbar.tools: iconbar, systemtray, clock". The boxes are moved to the dock by changing the line in .xinitrc to read like this "fluxter -w &>/dev/null &". Right click the dock and choose placement right center.Here's the Xbox style with the original background->

Here's the background you can right click and save as ->

Here's the style you can copy and paste to a empty text document->
