fluxbox 9.0.11Forum: X and Fluxbox Topic: fluxbox 9.0.11 started by: mrs peanut Posted by mrs peanut on Nov. 26 2006,13:47
i want to try out a newer fluxbox so i can have transparancy etc.the my dsl info says to edit the line in xinitrc with fluxbox to opt/fluxbox9.0.11 but there is more than one reference to fluxbox. do i change them all ? and will it be worth my while, much difference etc? also, will this need to be added to bootlocal.sh?

By default I think there is only 1 reference to fluxbox in user dsl's .xinitrcexec fluxbox <-- replace this Well, no harm in trying it and seeing if you like it. bootlocal.sh will not have to be modified since xinitrc takes care of X startup apps. Posted by mrs peanut on Nov. 26 2006,20:38
ok, thanksi will give it a go! Posted by mrs peanut on Nov. 26 2006,21:40
i got it and i love the transparent menus, but it seems to use a bit more ram and slowed things down which i cant afford on this wee toshiba.so back to the default! still it was a learning experience! Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Nov. 26 2006,21:46
Heh, there are some other useful features in this version, but yes, transparent windows and such do take more memory.

is there a guide tp using all its features somewhere?i could keep it for now to show off how nice it is to the hubby(a diehard windows fan!) compared to windows(then sneak it onto his pc!) oh, and i changed the theme and cant get back the new one! Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Nov. 26 2006,23:56
yes, you can check out the changelogs, etc. on the official site. (fluxbox.org)
