You can put
[nop] () that will leave it blank
[nop] (----------) that will leave a brokenline
[nop] (**********) that will heck you get the idea
have fun

Both work exellent.... Thanks guys

happy now ... WAHOO!!!

Next problem is the toolbar... well not so much of a problem just bugging me a bit. The toolbar has the clock and the desktops on it. I recently updated my fluxbox to the latest one, and the clock is now on the Left and the window name is on the right, does anyone know how i can change this?, and i want to add the date to the side with the clock on it, does anyone know the format for the date?

Thanks a lot,
Colonel-1990.

Most configs in Fluxbox are done in $HOME/.fluxbox/init

Toolbar:
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbo...p-toolbar.html
Check out some of the other docs at this site for more help.

The clock uses strftime format
Using the latest fluxbox you can right-click on the clock to change its format.
for example, %a %b %d %I:%M would display "Tue Feb 22 11:38"

When i remove clock and put ' %a %b %d %I:%M ' it buggers everything up and wont boot.... am i right to remove the clock part and replace with that?

Right click on the clock and select edit clock format,in the box put %l:%m %D here is my init;session.screen0.strftimeFormat: %l:%M %D
