Hey all, I've recently installed idesk on fluxbox/fluxspace, and subsequently ROX-Filer, and overall it all (almost) works great. However, there are two issues that still remain for me. The first is the panel configuration, I've been poking around /usr/home/.../.config/ rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer and I found the configuration files but there are no options to configure, well, what I'm looking to configure. How do I change the look and feel of the Panel? I'd like to change the colour for one and I'm having a hard time believing this isn't possible, I'm hoping this is an oversight on my part. I've scoured the net and I really can't find much if anything on this, which is leading me to believe it's just not possible, which in turn is making me believe as I just mentioned that I'm overlooking something. The ROX website has been less than helpful on this subject as well and I just don't know where to look next. My second question, which I'm unsure fits the scope of this mailing list, however, considering how closely related these programs are I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. If not, let me know and I'll harass the idesk people. :) Anyway, the question pertains to putting icons on your desktop. ROX-Filer uses the pinboard to place icons on the desktop, but as a known issue prevents the fluxbox menu from working, it's replaced by the icon/pinboard menu when right clicking. Reading the fluxspace docs suggests that I use the idesk icon method of placing icons which, from what I understand uses fluxspace-add- idesk-icon command. However,I have been unable to find any sort of supporting documentation on how to use this command, nor have I been able to find examples of it used elsewhere so I'm really unsure of the format. Off the top of my head it's something like this... fluxspace-add-idesk-icon <workspace #> <Caption> <program to run> <icon path> I'm simply unsure on how to apply this format to my own usage. For example, would it be: fluxspace-add-idesk-icon -workspace=1 or... fluxspace-add-idesk-icon 1 captaion ... At this point I hit a wall because of the syntax. Regardless, any insight would be appreciated and I appreciate the time you've taken to read this. .phil |

Look in Options - Compatibility in the filer. 'Pass all backdrop mouse clicks' and 'Blackbox root menus hack' may both do interesting stuff. --=20 Lennon Victor Cook "He who receives an idea from me receives without lessening, as he who lights his candle at mine receives light without darkening" -- Thomas Jefferson |
