I really only used Fluxbox for a while. Tried Blackbox and Openbox, but didn't like them as much. I didn't have any problems in Fluxbox. I could still use cool KDE apps like K3b and Kopete (though I use Gaim now.) I could even use Konqueror as my file manager. I think I might have had problems with SuperKaramba, but I can't remember. It's been a while since I've used Fluxbox. I use Enlightenment now.
Just give it a whirl and see how it works for you You've got nothing to lose!
exactley thats what i like about linux, nothing cant go "that bad"
everyone -nonlinuxusers- says linux only has errors and problems, but they are just used to the windoze problems and doesnt anymore dedicate them as problems, just as "normal day happenings"
Originally posted by phsythax slackhack, its ugly, yes, but the window manager as it as there, i think its easy use and doesnt have many unneeded icons, i like my desktop clean :P
if you think that was ugly, i would like you to post a link to a best looking screenshot you can find
Originally posted by phsythax i agree, the theme coler and wallpaper aint the best i ever seen too.
just woundering, how do you manuver and start apps on a desktop like that you posted?
right clicking for a menu?
yes, it's just basic fluxbox. everything is in the right-click menu or just launch it from a terminal. and you can maneuver with keystrokes or the pager in the right corner to get to different desktops.
Originally posted by jmr71769 It looks like it *could* be Blackbox. Black/Flux/Openbox, all pretty sweet.
All kids of distros have nice window managers. The choice, is yours - and that's the beauty of Open Source.
:-)
yes that i was tolled too..
and about open source, i agree 100 %
