yup! it works perfectly, except the icons, but I made myself a nice menu so it's okay :D (I'll give a screen soon :D

in order to solve your icon issue why not install idesk? Just install this rpm here

,it's a reliable source.

Doing a google search I found this place that will help you a lot.

 

Just create a file named ".idesk.rc" in your home directory, and paste the following lines:

table Icon 
 Caption: Mozilla 
 Command: /usr/bin/mozilla  
 Icon: /usr/share/icons/mozilla.png 
end

Pls, notice that in the "Command" line, you should put the whole path to the application and and for Icon the entire path to the icon you want to make visible.

Here more advanced options for your .idesk.rc set up:

table Config 
 FontName: verdana 
 FontSize: 11 
 FontColor: #ffffff 
 PaddingX: 25 
 PaddingY: 25 
 DoubleClick: false 
 Transparency: 100 
 HighContrast: false 
 Locked: false 
 Shadow: true 
 ShadowColor: #000000 
 ShadowX: 222 
 ShadowY: 22 
 Bold: false 
end  

and play around.

Good luck guy.

PS: I haven't noticed in you sreenshot any "set up backgrounds" menu in flux. Try that trick!!!

 

A complete .idesk.rc would be something like:

 [CODE]table Icon 
Caption: Mozilla 
Command: /usr/bin/mozilla  
Icon: /usr/share/icons/mozilla.png 
FontName: verdana 
FontSize: 11 
FontColor: #ffffff 
PaddingX: 25 
PaddingY: 25 
DoubleClick: false 
Transparency: 100 
HighContrast: false 
Locked: false 
Shadow: true 
ShadowColor: #000000 
ShadowX: 222 
ShadowY: 22 
Bold: false 
end

ok I'll try those, you're of great help, thanks!

 

edit:

for the bg on the fly, the command line doesn't do since I'm using my own customized menu...could you get me the menu entry to do this? thanks :P

have you tried to type in terminal: fluxbox-generate_menu -help?

if you don't get any output it means that only with CVS it will work.

The style menu doesn't have anything to do with that.

command not found, I guess I'll just have to wait huh :P
