In my new m12 test install, I am trying to figure out the new way to choose what window manager to use.
I want fluxbox-rox, and the xinitrc looks familiar-ish, but it says I should edit xinitrc-custom, which I am not used to.
Should I just add fluxbox-rox to the xinitrc-custom?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# File .xinitrc-custom
#
# This file is called from ~/.xinitrc and is run every time X starts.
# Put custom commands in here that you want to have run when X starts.
# Called from .xinitrc.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------

[color=#FF0040]fluxbox-rox[/color]
# Uncomment to report and automatically mount removable drives upon plugging in
 which devmon &>/dev/null && which udisks &>/dev/null && devmon --info-on-mount &
Or something like that? Or do I need exec fluxbox-rox, or???


And to mess this post up, the volumeicon...
Is there a way to adjust the volume by scrolling, like in icewm? In fluxbox, I just scroll between the workspaces.


WOW! I actually managed to figure out the volumeicon, by editing the fluxbox/keys!

copy the text below to the".xinitrc-custom" file for a simple default fluxbox desktop. You can cut and paste the other fluxbox entry from".xinitrc" if thats the one you want.

export DESKTOP_CODE="rox-fluxbox"
echo"rox-fluxbox" > $HOME/.wallpaper/session
rox --pinboard=antiX-fb
exec startfluxbox

The latest antiXcontrol centre has an option that can do this automatically now.

You can update it as it is in the repos.

rust collector - It is in antiX control centre -> Session -> Edit login options.

I just did an update, and I like the changes to the control centre.
Seems to be useful stuff, even if I have not tried all of it yet.

goodtimes!
