Fluxter.
That "little annoying thing" that people always come begging me to make go away.
Has finally found a spot to be useful.
In the slit.
You can see what I'm talking about here.
It's right next to the sound control ap, Wmix.
Doesn't it look cool?
And it doesn't pop up on top of everything.
Want to make your's look like mine?
Here's how.
Open up /home/dsl/.fluxbox/fluxter.bb with an editor. (I use Scite, you can use whatever)
Change the lines in your config to correspond with these.
Code Sample | fluxter.desktop.width: 30 fluxter.desktop.height: 30 fluxter.columns: 2 fluxter.rows: 2 |
Save it and exit your editor.
Next, head over to /usr/bin/ and use sudo to open "enhance" in an editor.
The 3rd or 4th line should be the one for fluxter. Make it look like this.Code Sample | system("fluxter -w &"); |
Not the "killall" line. Don't touch that. Bad things will happen.
Now, left click on the "workspace 1" (or 2 or 3) in the slit and create a new workspace. (workspace 4).
Exit and restart X, and you should have Fluxter, the "Little Annoying Thing", sitting pretty in the slit.
You can still move windows around with it, and switch between desktops with a center click.
The damn thing does have a use!
Wouldn't it be nice if it wan in the slit by default?
