This is a development version of Fluxbox.

Fluxbox is a fork of the original Blackbox 0.61.1 sourcecode with
different goals.

Compile and Install:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  and then as root
  # make install

Configuration options:

  For KDE slitsupport (default): (Allows kde tray icons to be placed in systray inside the toolbar)
    ./configure --enable-kde

  For Gnome support (default):
    ./configure --enable-gnome

  Use ./configure --help to see the full list of options



For former blackbox users:

 - You can use your old blackbox configuration file too. Just copy
   .blackboxrc to ~/.fluxbox/init . The same goes for menu file.

 - You can also use the Blackbox themes in Fluxbox. Fluxbox has a few
   extra styleoption for the tabs but they don't have to be specified.

 - The keys file is no longer compatible with bbkeys. There's a
   convertkeys script at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ that will
   convert the bbkeys format to the fluxbox format.


A few extra notes about the new features:

 - To disable tabs and/or iconbar just change it in configure menu.

 - To work with tabs, use the third mouse button to drag a tab to
   another tab.  This will group the two windows together.

 - With 'Sloppy Window Grouping' turned on (in your configure menu),
   you can drop the tabs anywhere on the target window to group
   windows together.

 - The 'Maximize over Slit' option means that maximized windows will not
   stop at the outside border of the slit, and will instead cover it.

 - In the init file, the session.screen0.rootCommand: option will
   override the rootCommand option in a theme, keeping your background
   the same, no matter what the theme says it should be.
