I always log in as root. I have a user acct but I always get denied access for everything, even though I told it to give me permission to everything so I just stick with the root. I think it makes it a little easier for a noob like myself. The fluxbox was the first thing I have done on linux without any hiccups, just took me a second to realize all the file paths were messed up for like the menu and init file and stuff, bc roadie's guide has it as "~/.." so I just had to change it to "/root/". Now I just have to find where it put the last two steps, the ones for SlicknesS and the black and white thing. Also to figure out how to get my NES to work from the fluxbox menu
And another addition. I played around with a theme, actually I created my own theme using the link roadie gave us to look at to better understand fluxbox, http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/ . I just used the page they have on Theme directives and copy pasted into a blank file in my /.fluxbox/styles path. Played around with it a little then decided to get some .xpm images to spice it up even more so I thought it would be a good idea to throw it into a folder, so I don't a bunch of random xpms floating around in the styles folder. so I created the folder and it no longer will link it to the fluxbox menu. Yet i already have a folder in there from one i downloaded during roadie's guide, the path looks like this "/.fluxbox/styles/PS3 Theme" and it has a link on the fluxbox menu, but the new folder I created doesn't even though the menu points to "/.fluxbox/styles".
Also, I can't figure out how to use different fonts in fluxbox, i think they are lost somewhere in my mayhem that is linux. I think it is currently running the default fluxbox font.
Sorry I am currently playing with my desktop and I keep running into different random things so I just keep adding them as I go. For some reason my keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work. I have no idea what is going on with this one, for example i was trying to make a shortcut to the gnome print screen app and one for pidgen as well
" Mod1 F4 :ExecCommand gaim
Mod1 F5 :ExecCommand gnome-panel-screenshot "
But Neither of those commands work, I am at a loss for this one.
