for some random reason my firefox now takes up the whole screen and i cant see the blue bar at the bottom on damn small linux, where the minimized aplications go. Also i cant minimize my firefox window casue the top bar of firefox is not there anymore. I used to have it but now its all messed up. I looked through preferences and such, and saw a thing to make it ful screen caus ei though maybe i clicked it on mistake. so i clicked it again, and it changed a little and showed the minimize button and x out button in a strange location. But the minimize button didntwork so i can only x out. I tried restarting it but it didnt fix the problem

I had the same problem some time ago after messing up with xetup.sh.
Sometimes pressing F11 twice sorts the problem.

Hi there,

I have this in my /home/dsl/.fluxbox/keys file :

Mod1 n :Minimize
Mod1 m :MaximizeWindow
Mod1 c :Close
Mod1 t :ToggleDecor

Alt+n minimizes, Alt+m maximizes, Alt+c closes, Alt+t removes the title bars !

Here's more options of what you can put in that file (look for the chapter KEYS FILE) :

If you use jwm, then simply press Alt-f2 to bring up a menu to move, min,max. etc. Nothing to edit. It's there already.

If you are in fluxbox another handy tip is to press alt and the left mouse button and drag the firefox down so you can see the window top..then click maximixe box to set to the screen or use alt and the right mouse button to resize..some programs are designed for different screen resolutions like 800 *600 or 1024..and require manual resizing..some will mauintain the resize some are not capable of saveing and will need resize each session.
