In reviewing many "googled" sites about customizing fluxbox,
it seems the "development" version, currently 0.9.6 or higher,
is much more adept at being manipulated than the stable 0.1.14
that DSL is using. The 0.9.X versions include many more
options for fluxbox changes than the stable version does.

This is correct.  I'm a Fluxbox junkie, and kinda miss some of the features from the development version in DSL.  However, the stable version is noticably faster than development, it's smaller and uses less RAM.

Some things you can't do with Fluxbox stable:
transparent menus
rounded corners
remember per-application settings

What you CAN do:
transparent terminal (DSL-aterm extension)
toggle decorations (~/.fluxbox/keys)
Root-tail!

What I'm still trying to figure out:
Mod3 and Mod4 hotkeys
place a terminal at +0+0 or +0-0

Try out a ~/.Xdefaults file for your aterm settings...it's much simpler than using multiple command options.

Thanks for the tip, mikshaw........

I'll include it in the next revision of DSL-aterm...

I was thinking about building a "fluxbox 0.9.6.dsl" ...
Just to play around with...
What do you think?
Do you anticipate any troubles?

I'll seocnd that, if the nice graphics of the unstable fluxbox can be made to work it would be soo cool :cool:

BTW what sort of files would this fluxbox.dsl change?
