Annotation of wikisrc/tutorials/x11/fluxbox.mdwn, revision 1.1
1.1 ! nia 1: Fluxbox is yet another windowmanager for X.
! 2:
! 3: It is based on the Blackbox 0.61.1 code. Fluxbox looks like blackbox and handles styles, colors, window placement, and similar things exactly like blackbox (100% theme/style compatibility).
! 4:
! 5: # Install Fluxbox
! 6:
! 7: To install fluxbox use its package provided in pkgsrc [wm/fluxbox](ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/wm/fluxbox/README.html):
! 8:
! 9:
! 10: # cd /usr/pkgsrc/wm/fluxbox
! 11: # make install
! 12:
! 13:
! 14: When installation is finished, define fluxbox by creating _.xinit_ file in user home directory:
! 15:
! 16: # cd /root
! 17: # vi .xinitrc
! 18:
! 19:
! 20: The typical contents of this file is:
! 21:
! 22: exec fluxbox
! 23:
! 24:
! 25: To make further tunes per your needs, you can create fluxbox directory and place into it your configuration files.
! 26:
! 27: # mkdir /home/myuser/.fluxbox
! 28:
! 29:
! 30:
! 31: Tipical configuration is _/root/.fluxbox/menu_ file, with following contents:
! 32:
! 33: # Generated by fluxbox-generate_menu
! 34: #
! 35: # If you read this it means you want to edit this file manually, so here
! 36: # are some useful tips:
! 37: #
! 38: # - You can add your own menu-entries to ~/.fluxbox/usermenu
! 39: #
! 40: # - If you miss apps please let me know and I will add them for the next
! 41: # release.
! 42: #
! 43: # - The -r option prevents removing of empty menu entries and lines which
! 44: # makes things much more readable.
! 45: #
! 46: # - To prevent any other app from overwriting your menu
! 47: # you can change the menu name in .fluxbox/init to:
! 48: # session.menuFile: /home/you/.fluxbox/my-menu

! 236: # Additional features
! 237:
! 238: * You can add kxkb language keyboard layout switching, by inserting into _/home/YourUser/.xinit_ file additional line. It would looks like this:
! 239:
! 240: kxkb &
! 241: exec fluxbox
! 242:
! 243:
! 244: * To setup desired background, you have to install image viewer first, for an example:
! 245: <pre><code>
! 246: # cd /usr/pkgsrc/graphics/feh
! 247: # make install
! 248: </code></pre>
! 249:
! 250: Your background file should be of *.png or *.jpg format. It has to be downloaded into _/home/YourUser/.fluxbox/backgrounds/_ directory.
! 251:
! 252: Further you have to insert following line into _/home/YourUser/.fluxbox/init_ file:
! 253:
! 254: session.screen0.rootCommand: fbsetbg -f /home/tnt/.fluxbox/backgrounds/TN0uLb.jpg
! 255:
! 256:
! 257: where _TN0uLb.jpg_ is your wallpaper file.
