a few cosmetic probs...

[iphitus]

well not problems, more cosmetic tweaks.

 

1) How can I change the bash prompt?

eg: [james@dhcp-796-117 downloads]$

to: @downloads $

(downloads being current directory)

 

2) In screenshots of fluxbox 0.9 unstable, you see a term with rounded corners and no WM decorations. How can I get these? I use aterm. if not aterm, where can it be done?

like here: http://fluxbox.org/zoom.php?shots-dev/alec...pka_fluxbox.jpg

 

3) bugger, i forgot it!!

 

I'll post 3 when I remember it......

 

Thanks.

1.

export PS1='@W $'

put this in .bashrc or .bash_profile (I forget which one)

Don't know about 2, and maybe I can answer 3 when you think of it, but for your #1 question, check out this thread: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...5416&highlight=

 

I think it was Steve that gave me the link that I used on my laptop to change this:

[liquidzoo@laptop liquidzoo]$

to this as user:

[ liquidzoo ]$

and this as root:

[ liquidzoo ]#

 

By the way, that's the folder name, not the username.

you can't do rounded corners in the current stable. fluxbox still puts a line around the outside of a term (the stable) even if you tell it not to put a border.. see this old screenshot of mine: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/m/t/mth1.../screenshot.png

notice the blue line around the outside?

 

for the exact command switch you need, check out: man aterm

 

i think it's --no-border but i can't remember

[iphitus]

I'm running the latest rpm for the unstable fluxbox, and it is very stable. And I tried man fluxbox, found something there,

The ~/.fluxbox/apps file. There you can set properties for programs so say everytime nautilus starts it is a certain, width, is on a certain desktop, or has a certain WM decoration. However this won't work for aterm. It is supposedly transient. Grumble grumble.

 

And tyme, i don't care really if it has a small border still, so long as the title bar is gone.

I'll try it now.

Wow, I just brought up a term then and all wm decorations were gone. Didn't even have a border!!

 

Here are the lines out of my ~/.fluxbox/apps file if anyone wants to copy.

[app] (aterm)

 [Deco]        {0xbffff160}

 [Close]       {yes}

[end]

Be damn! i just love the effect! (on the pic ;))

 

I think i will copy and send my self that code so i can try it as soon asi i get back to my Linux Box.

 

Thanks James! i will have to research a bit to fit it to my liking but i think i will find it very pleasing...

[iphitus]

I think it only works in the development version.

Fortunately tou can get a mandy rpm from here:

oh wait, the link i was going to give you is dead. Some asshole ruined my site's downloads

 

So here is another link: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/contr...-2mdk.i586.html

I remember 3!!!!

 

When I run OOo it looks ugly, it isn't styled like all my GTK apps.It's just a horrible grey, remeniscent of Windex 95.

How can I change it? The Appearance options in the prefs don't do much
