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](//cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/wm/fluxbox/):
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.
