you might be also able to achieve this with rbworkspace

   http://www.darkshed.net/files/ruby/rbworkspace-031219.tar.bz2

it was initially made for something else but iirc already inlcudes
the code for "different wallpapers on different workspaces"

thank you all for your help! i'd hoped fluxbox had some features like
enlightenment, which i didn't know off.
the fbpager thing didn't work, for some reason or other, and i don't use
fbpager anyways. had some problems compiling fluxstyle, so i use
rbworkspace.

I used to do this by using the "rootCommand" config setting for fbpager
(or fluxter):

fbpager.workspace0.rootCommand: xsetbg /path/to/image1.png
fbpager.workspace1.rootCommand: xsetbg /path/to/image2.png

I stopped doing this because it took a noticeable part of a second for
each workspace change.  Something to do with having to parse a large
.png file every time...

try to add gnome-settings-daemon to your ~/.fluxbox/startup if you do 
not have it there yet.

Hi,

it change nothing.

I try to add to .xinitrc (point 24. in the FAQ) :

#load this to have gtk2 apps look ok
GSDPID=3D`pidof gnome-settings-daemon`
if [  "x$GSDPID" =3D=3D "x" ]; then
gnome-settings-daemon &
fi

But same problem.

Hum I am going to see OO.org is again with Motif theme :) The GTk theme
disappear I don't know why...

this is only needed if you run fluxbox manually from console in runlevel 
3. If you run it from GDM, the right place for this is ~/.fluxbox/startup

what happens if you run gnome-settings-daemon in xterm (or whatever you 
use as terminal emulator)? Is there any output?

more importantly: after you have started 'gnome-settings-deamon', do gtk
themes show up correctly? if yes, you need to add this command to your
~/.fluxbox/startup file (assuming 'gdm' is configured properly), if not,
well then fix 'gdm' and configure it properly.

No it's always the same problem.=20

I am going to test again under Gnome, here is my reflexion :

1/ I start with Human Theme (Ubuntu Defaut skin)
2/ I change for a another theme. Ardour take his own value, his
clearlook defaut theme and not the new theme. At this stage, all is
normal.
3/ I change again for Human Theme. Big problem : Ardour diplays with
Human Theme and not the Ardour theme (remember my screenshots).
4/ I change for a gtk theme : same situation as stage 2/.

My conclusion : something is wrong with the Human theme.

Under Fluxbox when I apply a GTK theme, it's not very clear. Sometimes
Ardour displays correctly (=3D Ardour theme), sometimes not (=3D same
attitude like the Human Theme).

It seems to be a problem with Human Theme but too with Fluxbox. I really
don't know how to resolve this. Fluxbox problem / GTK problem / both
together ? Should I post on the Ubuntu List ?

Stan.

I forgot the result with OOO :

Under Gnome : with any gtk theme, it displays correctly.
Under Fluxbox : the horrible Motif Theme is the defaut theme.

I have got the answer.The file flubox.cat under 
/usr/share/fluxbox/nls/zh_UTF-8has some problems when displaying the 
chinese characters.Someone has found the problem and modified the file,I 
downloaded  it and covered the old one ,then the garbled text is 
absent.The article can be visited from  the following links:

For some reason it just stared working, and I do not remember changing 
anything... except maybe tweaking xorg.conf in order to make aixgl work 
under gnome (I run it under separate user to scare the hell out of 
windows people :)). But it should not matter, should it?

/The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./

i think there's no fluxbox internal command to do this, but you could
do a simple script with wmctrl and attach it to a key. that's what i
like about it all =)
good luck!

Thanks Valter for the info about wmctrl, it's a really nice program. I was
able to write a simple script that uses it... it's not elegant but it works
:)
