|
To disable tabs and/or iconbar just change it in configure menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use your own configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
Create a directorory, in your homedir, called .fluxbox
|
2002-03-02 10:34:55 +00:00
|
|
|
and copy: init, keys and menu from fluxbox datapath.
|
2001-12-11 20:47:02 +00:00
|
|
|
Dont forget to change session.menuFile and session.titlebarFile
|
|
|
|
|
in the file init.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
If there isn't any format for the tab in the theme then
|
|
|
|
|
the tab will have the same theme as the titlebar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-01-11 11:59:54 +00:00
|
|
|
The keys config file can be selected in the file init:
|
|
|
|
|
session.keyFile: <filename here>
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
2002-01-11 12:35:36 +00:00
|
|
|
- The 'Maximize over Slit' option means that maximized windows will not stop
|
|
|
|
|
at the outside border of the slit, and will instead cover it.
|
2002-01-11 11:59:54 +00:00
|
|
|
- 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.
