how did it work out?

[zi99y]

Nice! It's now my main style - I've set the translucency on the panels and my mrxvt terminal and it's looking too hot!

I can't believe how nicely everything is running now, fluxbox rules! Things even seem to load quicker than they did previously in openbox..

[cal]

Openbox was pretty fast too, when it didn't have matchbox on it.  It might be a memory thing.  Did you use the fluxbox_generate-menu command for your menu, or did you make a custom one?  I'm thinking about having tinkering with ipkg to get it to run fluxbox_generate-menu every time I install or uninstall somthing.  I might expiriment with py-panel as well.

[zi99y]

No, I just update the menu file manually - it's a bit labourious but I hope one day I will have every app I need there and ready so I don't have to keep installing/testing new stuff!!

(yeah..... right!)

An example of how it's speedier is the virtual keyboard xvkbd opens very quick now, before it took >2sec

Should we make a wiki or add to the oesf.org wiki?  


Also, can we use this?  https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...c=17950&hl=xorg

Hi,

I'm using pdaX 1.1.0r121. I tried to install fluxbox using the one in the r121 feed. However, so far it doesn't work or at least I don't know how to make it work
I followed the instructions (without installing feh or vdesk) and changed the .xinitrc. I got into the WM without wallpaper and the garbled font. Is there any chance for r121 to use fluxbox? Thanks

I had a simular problem with my C1000 and beta3.  I had to steal a theme and init from my desktop.  I think the default font has problems on some machines.  If you want, I can send you a replacement .fluxbox directory to get started.  Also I had better luck when logged in as a user other then root.

I would like to try it. Please post the file. Thank you:)

Hmmm...I'm having some font problems.  The artwiz fonts in the .xinitrc got commented out because all I could see was was numbers!

While I can see letters now all of them have a sort of square between them...I heard a while ago it was some unicode thing but how would I fix that?

Thanks,
Frank

Try switching on anti-aliasing. You'll find it under fluxbox menu - configure. It worked for me and at least one other with the same problem.

Yup, mjotad's solution worked for me.

Here is the link for the font-problems specific thread that I started if you want to continue posting there: [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21829]Font Problems[/url]

[BarryW]

That would probably work if I could actually read any of the text on screen.  It's all just garbage.


Nevermind, found it!

[klatt]

congrats

as a suggestion for those who are having trouble looking at the menus you have two options:

1) .fluxbox/init has the settings for antialiasing (search for it in the file).  Edit this from the terminal if you can open one.

2) ssh in and edit the init file from another machine

[edit]

Correction, you have 3 options -

3) keep clicking all over the menus until you get it right

How'd you know??  

Nother quick question, when I try to start up torsmo is can't load the artwiz-glispbold fonts.  I can't get it to load any fonts.  Any quick tips?  Why don't we use conkey?
