I installed fluxbox and could use slit via ob-mda, wich are openbox dockapps. So slit is working. I can start wmnetload without any error but also without any effect. Do I have the wrong informations or is it generally not working, what I am trying to do?

Hehe, well, some of these plugins are a bit weird. Also, make sure you check the command line options, some of them might need to be launched with a special flag (usually -w) to be in withdrawn/ embeddable mode. -- Jesús Guerrero ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

This may be irrelevant since you say it works now, but I prefer wmnd. Just add it in ~/.fluxbox/startup like so: wmnd -c orange -I eth0,wlan0,irda0,ppp0 & with your relevant ifaces that you want to monnitor. -- Regards, Mick [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part. --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 198 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Furthermore, > I have no ~/.fluxbox/startup file. > > ? Hmm, it's been years since I installed fluxbox so I can't remember the details and anyway the installation methods may have changed since. I thought that every installation has a startup file where you define your different background images/styles for each workspace and any applications that you want starting up. There is a script you can run which will scan your path to find applications and create a menu for you. It may be that the startup file is created by this? In case it is not clear: there are dockapps (like wmnd) which are usually placed at the corner of your screen and there are tooltray icons that are placed in the slit (right hand side). The latter are application specific - so unless you are running an application that owns them they won't show up there - see attached screenshot. You'll also need to have configured fluxbox with the necessary USE flags (like gnome - if you're using gnome, slit, toolbar). Have you looked at the fluxbox documentation? -- Regards, Mick [-- Attachment #1.2: slitanddockapps.png --] [-- Type: image/png, Size: 12762 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part. --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 198 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
