What Apps do you use/start with Fluxbox?


Just wonderin from members what apps they use to enhance Fluxbox?

Examples I sometimes use are

fbpanel
lxpanel
tint2
conky
gvolwheel
wbar

I was wondering how many other useful apps there are also?

and if you have enhanced/modified your apps please post that as well
like your tint2rc, etc

thx

I use openbox but programs are interchangeable.

feh - setting background image
xlock - part of the xlockmore package for a very lightweight screen lock.
adesklets - widgets embedded into the background for my system.

Here's some commands I use for launching them so you don't have to do too much research. I have the xlock command setup as a keyboard short cut [WindowsKey]+L which is the same on Windows.
Code:
xlock -mousemotion +description -mode blank -bg black -fg grey30 -font -adobe-helvetic
feh --bg-scale '/home/sam/Pictures/1024x600/one-piece-beach_1024x600.jpg'
It is best to crop images to your screen size using Gimp before using the feh command for best results.

Here's some screenshots of my setup using those utilities and some utilities which you've already mentioned.
