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
