Wow, don't want to sound repetitive, but fluxbox is da bomb!

Is that an xmms skin?

Openbox! Here is a screenshot that shows transparency and such:

And another that I did to prove that I can do everything needed to run Linux at my university, including the crappy First Class email client:

ps. I just looked at these again, and they are saved a low resolution so my fonts and such look crappy. Take my word for it, they're actually quite nice.

Flux 0.1.14 with remember patch...

Small, fast, robust, no geeky-fancy stuff ;)

Cheers,
Tink

Tinkster are you calling yourself a guru?

Tinkster · 03-26-2003, 09:21 PM

nope ... why?

Openwindows. Fast, easy, no cruft.

Coz I'd call you an LQ Addict rather than a guru. That's all.

Hey otbibb, nice screenshots. If I may how did you get first class going? Are you running it in Wine or is there a *nix version? (my crappy school has it too)
Thanks

Heh ... thanks :)

Since I can apparently only chose between Guru
and Addict I'll stick with the default ;) despite your
categorization.

Your opinion is appreciated, though :}
Are you doing that to everyone around?

Cheers,
Tink

Here you go:

First Class Linux Beta .

If that doesn't work, you can go to www.centrinity.com and look about 1/2 page down for the Linux Beta link.

It works pretty well, though sometimes it crashes HARD. I use it just for the conferences and things, and use fetchmail to bring my messages via pop3.

I didn't want to make a new thread for my question, so I'll post it here since there seem to many fluxbox fans here.

How do I select a new theme for fluxbox? I have nothing to choose from under the styles menu.

That's odd ...

how did you install flux?
Source, slack-package?
Have you got anything in
/usr/local/share/fluxbox/styles/
?
