LinuxQuestions.org - Fluxbox Transparency

I use Esetroot, here is my ~/.fluxbox/startup

Code:

# fluxbox startup-script:

#

# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.



# You can set your favourite wallpaper here if you don't want

# to do it from your style.

#

# bsetbg -f ~/pictures/wallpaper.png

#

# This sets a black background



#/usr/bin/Esetroot -scale /root/.fluxbox/backgrounds/cool.jpg

/usr/bin/Esetroot -scale /root/.fluxbox/backgrounds/background.png



# This shows the fluxbox-splash-screen

# fbsetbg -C /usr/share/fluxbox/splash.jpg



# Other examples. Check man xset for details.

#

# Turn off beeps:

# xset -b

#

# Increase the keyboard repeat-rate:

# xset r rate 195 35

#

# Your own fonts-dir:

# xset +fp /root/.font

#

# Your favourite mouse cursor:

# xsetroot -cursor_name right_ptr

#

# Change your keymap:

# xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap







# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.

# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.

#

# unclutter -idle 2 &

# wmnd &

wbar  --isize 48 --pos top --jumpf 0 --balfa 0 &



conky &



#mpg321 -o alsa /root/mp3/pilots/sourgirl.mp3 &

mpg321 -o alsa /root/sounds/011_login\ B.mp3 &

# And last but not least we start fluxbox.

# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.



exec /usr/bin/fluxbox

# or if you want to keep a log:

# exec /usr/bin/fluxbox -log ~/.fluxbox/log

If you use any gnome apps like nautilus and want to change the theme or icons make a file named .gtkrc-2.0 and add something like this to your home;

Code:

gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango-OldPlainGray"

gtk-theme-name = "Clearlooks"

If you want a transparent aterm create the file .Xdefaults and add something like;

Code:

aterm*cursorColor: green

aterm*colorMode: true

aterm*borderwidth: 0

aterm*pointerColor: yellow

aterm*transparent: true

aterm*shading: 60

aterm*background: black

aterm*foreground: white

aterm*scrollBar: false

aterm*fading: 60

aterm*saveLines:4500

aterm*geometry: 100x25+20+5

aterm*loginShell: True

aterm*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

What disro are you using? For debian or debian based (ubuntu) I think the file name is .Xresources
