PostPosted: Mon May 20, 2002 10:42 pm    Post subject: Fluxbox question Reply with quote

I'm completely new to Flux, so here are some (hopefully) easy questions.

1) How do I make vertical tabs long enough to hold the whole title.
Curerntly, it says "Gentoo F" and i want it to streach to hold "Gentoo Forums"

2) How do i change the background.

3) How do i add a menu item?
I n ~/.fluxbox/menu nad /usr/share/fluxbox/menu i changed the browsers submenu to include galeon. It didn't work.

Code:

[submenu] (Browsers}
     [exec] {konqueror) {konqueror}
     [exec] (galeon) {galeon}
[end]


4) What does Flux support in the way of global cut and paste? How is it activated?

the konqueror isnt starting up becuz the command to start it isnt 'konqueror'

the correct command is 'kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing'

OOPS, i should have clarified. Konqueror works. I just don't like it. Galeon doesn't work. It doesn't have a menu icon.. It runs fine from an xterm, but thats a nuicense.

See this thread for a dockapp:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=2961

And to paste you simply click your middle mouse button, if you don't have a wheel mouse make sure you have emulate three buttons enabled in your /etc/X11/XF86Config and to paste you would click the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously.
