FluxBox Question

Omega21 · Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 12:14 am Post subject: FluxBox Question

Im sure I will get laughed at this, but hey.
I just downloaded FluxBox and am wondering how to change the wallpaper?
Also, Can you somehow get icons on it?
Can you theme it in anyway, besides the color schemes it has came with?
Does GDesklets work on it?

Thanks!!
Ian

There's also an app written specifically for fluxbox called fbdesk (info & screenies at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/fbdesk/ ) which is also available through portage.

Another really popular way to put icons on your desktop is rox-filer. You can find some info & screenshots here http://freshmeat.net/projects/rox-filer/ and here http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ROX-Filer I don't see rox-filer specifically in portage, but I'm willing to bet it's a component of rox-base/rox, so if you emerge rox I think that'll give you rox-filer (plus some other stuff).

Fbdesk is a bit buggy try idesk its on portage , about themes there arent only the ones in portage you also have lots of them in here http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/962/ you could try fbpager also i think you may like http://fluxbox.org/fbpager/ and finnaly the idesk http://idesk.timmfin.net i like idesk because its less buggy and allows more features enjoy
