Hello again...When i have installed DSL 3.01, there is an older fluxbox installed. with this one, when i mximize my windows, all the windows are placed automaticly OVER the toolbar (taskbar). with the one from the repository (i think 0.9.14) , when i mximize my windows, they will pe placed BEHIND the taskbar or with other settings the taskbar is behind the window... is there a way to have the window again OVER the taskbar ?

right-click on the taskbar and toggle "maximize over" if it's there. I'm not in fluxbox at the moment, so I'm not sure it's available from the gui. If not, edit the init file:
That last one might actually need to be "true". I always get confused with MaxOver You'll probably need to reload the fluxbox config after making changes. Posted by Johnnie Price on Oct. 16 2006,23:13
session.screen0.toolbar.maxOver: true would be correct for what you want.Myself, I pefer setting onTop as true, and auto hide. The same with the slit. Speaking of which, is there a way to simply not have the slit load like, ever? Posted by mikshaw on Oct. 17 2006,01:30
If you don't run any docked applications, the slit will not show.

Oh....I think i got confused about what you wanted.
The second option will prevent maximized windows from going beyond the top of the toolbar. Fullscreen windows will still stretch the whole height of the sreen, as far as I know. Posted by bilbo_b on Oct. 20 2006,17:36
ahh this works .... thanks a lot, the only one, that is now NOT placed OVER the toolbar, is the slit... is there a way to place the slit also other the toolbar ?all my elements are now layered at the normal layer. Posted by mikshaw on Oct. 20 2006,18:02
Try right-click on the two objects. I believe there are layer settings that address this specific issue...."above slit" or "above toolbar" or something like that?

There is a line which reads something like 'session.screen0.slit.OnTop'. I'm not sure if this will allow to slit to be over the toolbar or not. Then again, I'm not sure if I actually understand the question. Speaking of questions, since I already asked one, how can one configure the slit? I'm familiar with the file to add dockapps, but I'm more concerned with configuring the actual appearance of the slit. I haven't noticed anything useful in the /.fluxbox directory...

I don't know which takes priority either...never paid attention to it myself since the slit had always been apart from the toolbar on my desktop. I'll check it out next time i'm in fluxbox.Configuring the slit visuals is done in the style file.
Placement, size, etc can be configured by right-clicking on the slit frame. Setting are stored in .fluxbox/init |
