So I like Fluxbox so far but I have a bit o' beef. I size a window (say my web browser) to 1024x768 and I like it. Then, if I maximize the window and close it when I open up a new window its full screen again, not the size I set it to. Is there any way to set a default window size for all new windows?

Right click on the title bar of the window, then select Remember -> Dimensions

Odd, I see the option but it doesn't let me click on it.

What do you mean "doesn't let you"?

It doesn't respond when you click on it (for some reason Fluxbox doesn't allocate toggle buttons to these options), but be assured that it does work.

You can also edit:

~/.fluxbox/apps
here is a sample of one of my entries:

Code:

[app] (firefox-bin)
  [Dimensions]  {1277 996}
  [Position]    {0 0}
[end]


Actually doing what chunderbunny said has the same net effect, but it will work if you're having the problems you mentioned.

Unfortunately neither works. The small squares are present beside 'deminsions' and 'position' and 'save on close' but unchecking them, checking them, closing the program out and adding whats said to under /apps doesn't stick either nor does it work. I can remember a time when the first solution, right click on the top bar, and selecting things under 'Remember..' did work, but now since the latest emerge it doesn't. :/

Code:
[app] (opera)
  [Dimensions]  {1188  600}
  [Position]    {0 0}
  [Close]       {yes}
[end]
[app] (Eterm)
  [Dimensions]  {822 347}
  [Position]    {250 254}
  [Close]       {yes}
[end]


Eterm works, opera doesn't.
