Anyone got a quick and easy explanation of what a"Slit" is in Fluxbox? Or a link to that information?

I tried searching on YouTube but got nowhere fast on that one.

No rush on this. This is in the"nice to know" category.

Thanks!

I just wanted to see if I could find a video showing how it works. No joy there, though.

I'll read through that link you posted and see if I can figure it out.

its an invisible area of the fluxbox desktop. Its designed for things like dockapps, originally window maker dockapps, plus some other things.

Just a quick piece of advice (if you don't already do it);

when"tinkering" with desktop elements, create a new user and use him/her/it for the tinkering. If you stuff it up, can't recover old desktop or worse; just blow the user away and start again.

good luck,
greywolf.

That's a good idea!
Never thought of before. __{{emoticon}}__

I'll do that if I start experimenting, though.

Thanks for that.
