Does any one know how to get a program to not show in the slit/toolbar? I have Xmms dock-plugin and Eterm set to be on my desktop that looks intergrated but I don't want them to be shown in my slit/toolbar...

does anyone know how to auto update the menue of fluxbox ? i dont want to do it manual stepbystep thats boring and very time consuming... ? i merged fluxbox before any other package so my menue is sooo empty... on other machines i have at least the firefox and some other tools in the menue, is it enough to just remove and then remerge fluxbox ? thx a lot

SOLVED : fluxbox-generate_menu

Mini tip:

I find assigning a key to 'Shade' very useful indeed,

Another one:
as I discovered earlier (nod to e5150) the arrangement of buttons on a window's titlebar is not controlled by
session.titlebar.left and session.titlebar.right any more!

Use

maybe You will be able to tweak it a little with these from man fluxbox:

Thanks vermaden,

unfortunately none of these options worked...
In fact, they seem confusing for me: what does "Skyp lower tabs" mean? Is "lower tabs" the same of "minimized windows" ? How about "stuck windows"?
This is my current keys file:
!mouse actions added by fluxbox-update_configs
OnDesktop Mouse1 :hideMenus
OnDesktop Mouse2 :workspaceMenu
OnDesktop Mouse3 :rootMenu
OnDesktop Mouse4 :nextWorkspace
OnDesktop Mouse5 :prevWorkspace

#Mod1 Tab :MacroCmd {Deiconify LastWorkspace} {NextWindow 3}

#Mod1 s: Shade

#Mod1 Tab :NextGroup
#Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevGroup
#Mod1 g :NextTab
#Mod1 Shift g :PrevTab
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow 7
#Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow

Mod1 F12 :ToggleDecor

Mod1 F1 :Workspace 1
Mod1 F2 :Workspace 2
Mod1 F3 :Workspace 3
Mod1 F4 :Workspace 4

Mod1 a :ExecCommand aterm

#Mod1 a :ExecCommand aterm

#Mod1 a :ExecCommand aterm -tr -bg black -fg yellow -fb Artwiz

# if you have aterm (emerge x11-terms/aterm), then this opens a really

# resolution, while still leaving room for torsmo. Once again, feel

# +sb -sr -sk -bg black -fg \ white -fade 90 -bl -tn xterm -fn \
# -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 -g 116x57

# similar to the above, but opens a transparent rooted terminal. you
# must, of course, know the root password to use this #Mod1 s
# :ExecCommand aterm -name aterm -sl 3000 -tr +sb -sr -sk -bg black
# -fg \ #white -fade 90 -bl -tn xterm -fn \
# #-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 -g 116x57 -e
# su -

#locks X11 display to the current user
#Mod4 l :ExecCommand xlock

Any more help is very welcome!

Cheers.

You can get fluxbox SVN version just BEFORE ALT TAB fix then get SVN version just AFTER and create diff file, then get newest fluxbox and bring back old behavior with adding this diff patch with patch -p0 < diffrence.diff

to check which versions You need read this:
http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/fluxbox/trunk/ChangeLog?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

Hi vermaden,

this solution sounds interesting... but I believe that it will need to be redone each time fluxbox is upgraded, right? Can you see a way to solve this permanently?

Cheers.
