If <application>Fluxbox</application> is the only Window Manager
|
|
you want to use, you can start it with an <filename>.xinitrc</filename>
|
|
file in your home folder. Be sure to backup your
|
|
current <filename>.xinitrc</filename> before proceeding.

Or alternatively, if you use a login manager like
|
|
<xref linkend="gdm"/> or <xref linkend="lightdm"/>,
|
|
and would like to be able to choose <application>Fluxbox</application>
|
|
at the login prompt, create a <filename>fluxbox.desktop</filename>
|
|
file. As <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:

<para>
|
|
If you didn't install <xref linkend="gdm"/> or <xref
|
|
linkend="lightdm"/> in <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>,
|
|
then change that command to fit the prefix you chose.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Now create the <application>Fluxbox</application> configuration files:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mkdir -v ~/.fluxbox &&
|
|
cp -v /usr/share/fluxbox/init ~/.fluxbox/init &&
|
|
cp -v /usr/share/fluxbox/keys ~/.fluxbox/keys</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To generate the application menu, first you may wish to run
|
|
<command>fluxbox-generate_menu -h</command>, in order to choose any
|
|
<replaceable><user_options></replaceable>, then issue:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cd ~/.fluxbox &&
|
|
fluxbox-generate_menu <replaceable><user_options></replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Alternately, copy a pregenerated menu:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>cp -v /usr/share/fluxbox/menu ~/.fluxbox/menu</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Menu items are added by editing <filename>~/.fluxbox/menu</filename>.
|
|
The syntax is explained on the <command>fluxbox</command> man page.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you want to use an image as your desktop background, copy the
|
|
theme you like into <filename class='directory'>~/.fluxbox</filename>.
|
|
Then add a line to make it use the correct image. In the following
|
|
command, change <replaceable><theme></replaceable> for the name
|
|
of the theme you want and change
|
|
<replaceable></path/to/nice/image.ext></replaceable> to point to
|
|
the actual image you want to use, where <replaceable>ext</replaceable>
|
|
must be <quote>xpm</quote>, if <xref linkend="imlib2"/> is not installed
|
|
to allow other image formats.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cp /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/<theme> ~/.fluxbox/theme &&
|
|
|

sed -i 's,\(session.styleFile:\).*,\1 ~/.fluxbox/theme,' ~/.fluxbox/init &&

[ -d ~/.fluxbox/theme ] &&

echo "background.pixmap: </path/to/nice/image.ext>" >> ~/.fluxbox/theme/theme.cfg</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In some locales the font specified in the theme may not contain the
|
|
needed characters. This results in menus with blank items. You can fix
|
|
this by editing <filename>~/.fluxbox/theme</filename> with a text
|
|
editor and altering it so that it names a suitable font.
