hi guys,

finally installed slack couple of days ago and enjoying it a lot :d

i edited the menu of fluxbox, saved it, and then rebooted, but the menu is still the same...
usr/X11R6/share/fluxbox/menu

do i have to load it somehow?
what could be wrong?

thanks in advance

When you run Fluxbox it creates a hidden folder in your home directory called .fluxbox

Edit your menu from there- you don't need to re-start fluxbox for the edits to take effect.

... and certainly never ever a reboot..... this isn't Windows

hi guys,

as a slack noob i can't find the hidden file. i use gvim editor to search for it but there is nothing like .fluxbox around my home directory.

do i have to do something to make it visible?

just open a console and run:

gvim ~/.fluxbox/menu

A ls -al in your home directory will reveal a great deal- or just toggle the "Show hidden files" in the KDE "file explorer".
