nice goin bvc. i still get an error "no modules loaded", but that just means I gotta tell fluxspace what I want it to do, no?

 

cheers!

 

p.s. Waimea is really pretty, but I think the functionality of fluxbox is still better, and this fluxspace will take it right over the top. different dockapps on each workspace?! wow...if only I could change workspaces in fluxbox like in waimea (just a flick of the wrist...)

Correct! Go to ~/.fluxbox/fluxspace.xml and change "no" to "yes" for the modules you want to load.

Glad you like it. :-)  Google won't be much help yet.  You're just one

of a few early adopters (that I know about).

 

It isn't running Esetroot itself.  It's directly calling a library I

built using Esetroot source code.  There are options in the library to

support a background color, scaling, centering, fitting and mirroring.

I just didn't make them into configuration options.  This will be so

easy to do, it should be in the next version.  Thanks for reminding

me. :)

 

Cheers,

Steve

 

I see in the doc

Module: painter

===============

 

Displays wallpaper on each workspace. Uses the Enlightenment code so

that most image formats are supported and pseudo-transparent terminals

display correctly.

 

Option: wallpaper

-----------------

One wallpaper option element should be provided for each workspace.

 

Attribute: workspace

--------------------

A number from 0 to n selecting the workspace to receive the

wallpaper.

 

Attribute: image

----------------

The path to the image displayed as the wallpaper. '~' expansion

is performed to substitute the full path to the user home

directory.

This attribute is required.

 

Attribute: bgcolor

------------------

 

The optional name of a background color using standard X color

names or RGB values. You can use a tool like xcolors to display

the named colors. Standard RGB values are also excepted, e.g.

"RGB:FF/00/00" for bright red. See X documentation for more

information.

 

Attribute: scale

----------------

If "yes" stretches the image to the full screen size. Can alter

the aspect ratio.

 

Attribute: center

-----------------

If "yes" centers the image on the screen, rather than tiling it.

 

Attribute: fit

----------------

If "yes" fits the image to the screen without changing the aspect

ratio.

 

Attribute: mirror

-----------------

If "yes" flips some tiles to show mirror image.

 

 

 

 

But I haven't figured this out yet and Steve talks like it still needs to be implemented. ????? One thig about this .xml file, is that if you have one little error....nothing works.

If anyone is sending me pm's.....I have received 2 emails saying I have pm's, but when I come here to get them they're not there. The message at the top says I have one, but I can't get them in galeon or opera. I 'll contact the admins, but in the meantime, just post here that you want the file or you want to contact me and I'll email you. I can see your email, as a Mod. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

You shouldn't need the file...just change the to / in the idesk section. I'll send it though if you want it.
