I'm trying to make two transparent aterms NOT show up on my Fluxbox toolbar and I can't figure out how. There is a thread on this that suggests using the program devilspie. I've tried that, with no success. After configuration I run devilspie and launch atermst (alias of aterm used for sticky state in fluxbox that I made) and it does not show on the toolbar. Good. The problem is I have two of these atermsts in my .fluxbox/startup and they both show on the toolbar. Bad. Using just aterm shows the same results. Does anyone have this working? Ideas?

I am using something like this for fluxter.
The key is to create a .fluxbox/apps file (guess you have this when you autostart apps with the start of fluxbox)

In that file you have to create an entry for you app just like this:
Code:

[app] (fluxter)
  [Hidden]   {yes}
[end]

Replace according to your wishes.
Is something doesn't work as intended look at the fluxbox manpage, it has some references on this matter.

Aha! Thanks, I got it working. One thing to note, if there are any other parameters, such as [Sticky] or [Position] for the app you want to hide it only seems to work (for me) if [Hidden] comes first:
Code:
[app] (atermst)
  [Hidden]  {yes}
  [Sticky]   {yes}
  [Layer]   {12}
[end]

Also, this works if I have an app in the ~/.fluxbox/startup file OR have something starting in the ~/.fluxbox/apps file (as described in man page).
