Now that I have Antix 13.2 installed. I need to know how to change the font size of the clock in the taskbar. It's so small I can't see what the time is. I'm using the Radiant Antix style. Do I just duplicate the style and modify it? If so I need to know where the styles are located and which files I modify. Also I need to know how to increase the height of the taskbar as well as the font size of the Radiant Antix style for the menu.

I'll poke around and see if I can locate the file and see how far I get. Any tips suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

ALWAYS read the help files.

I think it is Control Center --> Desktop --> Change GTK2 and Icon Themes where you can change the Icon Theme which will also change the size of some numbers/letters. I think this will also change the size of some numbers for better reading.

EDIT: for idiocy..

Go to them main menu (or Right click on the screen) Settings --> Themes --> select what you want. this will change the Menu Bar.

Styles are in /etc/skel/fluxbox

You can copy and paste those files/folders into /home/username/.fluxbox/styles.

Editing done by me is usually poke and hope experimenting after making a backup of the config file I am going to modify. So I have the original.





Like I said. Just poke and Hope. There is a Fluxbox link in bookmarks, No?
Otherwise I will post some links that helped me below.
PS: The taskbar in fluxbox is called a slit.

"This is my Fluxbox. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless. Amen."

If you want a change to the clock to survive style changes, then put the modification in the ~/.fluxbox/overlay file. This will change the clock
the example uses the sans font, size 10, bold style. remember to restart fluxbox (there is an option in the fluxbox setting menu) for the changes to take affect. You don't have to close your text editor to restart but you do have to save the file.

Thanks!! I will take a look at all the suggestions and see how things go.
