How can I change the desktop style with my own style I got from internet, but outside the myDSL panel?
So, I add a theme that I don't get from myDSL extension tool.
Help me.

background image, if any, goes in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds
style file goes in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles

The style should automatically show up in the fluxbox menu.

You may need to edit the style file a little. If it uses fbsetbg to set the background, you'll need to change the rootcommand line to use a program in DSL, such as xsri. If the style was written for fluxbox 0.9.15 or newer, it might require some additional modification.
