About the fluxbox docs.

[Shriphani Palakodety]

Hello,

First off, sorry for not corresponding. I haven't kept good health
over the last couple of days. I am working on the docs now. I am
attaching my preferred style of docs. If there is something terribly
wrong with the style please bring it to my notice.

Thanks,
Shriphani Palakodety

So you are eager to try this thing out. You can't wait and we know it. This tut-
orial will help you get fluxbox up and running on your box.

The version of fluxbox offered in the Ubuntu repositories are as follows:

	feisty: 0.9.15.1+1.0rc2-1
	edgy: 0.9.15.1+1.0rc2-1
	dapper: 0.9.14-2

To install fluxbox on your box enable the universe repository in your sources.l-
ist file located at /etc/apt/sources.list. Then type the following command:

	sudo aptitude install fluxbox

Congrats! Fluxbox is installed.

You will be greeted by a plain screen like this:

To open your applications, right click anywhere on the desktop. 

Let us now try to figure out what the components of a default fluxbox install a-
re.

<insert image. Gimp to be used to draw arrows pointing to different components.>

(1). This is called the slit. It is where minimised windows go. It is also desi-
ned to hold windowmaker dockapps.

Now that you know how to use your apps in the fluxbox window manager, let us mo-
ve to the customization part.

Customization:

(1). Well in the fluxbox menu that appears when you right click on your desktop,
 you see a submenu called styles. The styles submenu contains all the fluxbox t-
hemes present in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/. You may of course want to add more
themes to your collection. You can just untar your tarballs in the above mentio-
ned directory. Some places where you can find very good themes are:

	--> http://dugnet.org/klown/wallpaper/
	--> http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/themes.php
	--> http://customize.org/fluxbox
	--> http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/962/

(2). Damned background won't stay? Don't worry. Just look around for the *.cfg 
file in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/<lame_name_of_theme>. Open it up with your fa-
vorite text editor and look for a line that goes like this:

	rootCommand: ##

Edit this line to read;
	
	rootCommand: fbsetbg -l <path to the background>
