.SS What is a Style?
A style is basically a theme for the
.IR Fluxbox(1)
window manager. It is a simple ASCII text file that tells Fluxbox how
to generate the appearance of the different components of the window manager.
The default installation of Fluxbox is shipped with many classic styles that
show the customization of current Fluxbox versions. They are usually located in
.IR ~/.fluxbox/styles
and in the global Fluxbox share directory
.IR @pkgdatadir@/styles
which may vary depending on the method of installation used. To use one of
the styles shipped with Fluxbox, look in your root menu under the configure
part of the menu for 'System Styles'.
.PP
Fluxbox uses its own graphics class to render its images on the fly. By using
style files, you can determine at a great level of configurability what your
desktop will look like. Fluxbox styles are compatible with those of the
Blackbox window manager (where Fluxbox originated). Users migrating from
Blackbox can use their current favourite themes.

.SS What is a Style?
Styles, sometimes referred to as Themes, are a graphical overlay for the
.IR Fluxbox(1)
window manager. If you wanted to get to know Fluxbox, the styles
would be the 'look' of the 'look and feel'.
.PP
Styles are simple ASCII text files that tell Fluxbox how to generate the
appearance of different components of the window manager. The default
installation of Fluxbox is shipped with many classic examples that show a
great deal of what one could do. To use one of the standard styles navigate
to the 'System Styles' menu under your main Fluxbox menu.
.PP
Fluxbox uses it's own graphics class to render its images on the fly. By
using styles you can determine, at a great level, of configurability what your
desktop will look like. Since Fluxbox was derived from Blackbox many often
wonder if old themes will work on the latest releases of Blackbox. Well they
basically do, but you will have to tune them since the Fluxbox code has
changed quite a bit since the initial grab.

We'll cover quickly where styles can be found and placed after you create your own. There are many places to store your styles, the most common is in your
.PP .IR ~/.fluxbox/styles
There are a number of default styles that come with the installation, while we have already directory. The initial installation will place the default styles in

Once you create your own, you can create a directory in When creating your own style, create a directory (normally the name of your
.IR ~/.fluxbox/ style) in
called 'styles'. While there isn't an official structure of how to package your style, one way that is recommended is creating a directory named after your style and placing your pixmaps directory in there along with a theme.cfg. The theme.cfg file being your created style. So for example if I created a style called 'MyStyle' I would create the following: .IR ~/.fluxbox/styles/
(If the 'styles' directory doesn't exist, create that also). While there
isn't an official structure, it is common to create a directory named after
your style and place your pixmaps directory (if required) in there along with
a file called theme.cfg (may also be named style.cfg). This file is where you
will construct your style using the components covered later in this manual
page. An example of steps taken when beginning a style project of your own
may look like:
.EX .EX
mkdir -p ~/.fluxbox/styles/MyStyle $ cd
cd ~/.fluxbox/styles/MyStyle $ mkdir -p ~/.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps
mkdir pixmaps $ cd ~/.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle
vi theme.cfg (this being where you design your style with $ nano theme.cfg
the necessary components)
.EE .EE
If you follow this, the path to your pixmaps will be: Output of a packaged style should look like the following:
.IR ~/fluxbox/styles/MyStyle/pixmaps .EX
which makes it a bit easier to setup up and distribute your style. $ cd
$ tar -tjvf YourStyle.tar.bz2
.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/theme.cfg
.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps
.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps/stick.xpm
...
.EE
Of course, all of these are just preferences, Fluxbox allows for the
customization of many things, including how you handle your styles. Just
remember, however, that if you plan to distribute your style you may find some
community bickering if you don't follow practices. :)

There is a command that is
