[Fluxbox-users] Few Beginner's Questions

[Steven Woody]

Hi,

I am new to Fluxbox, but I found there seems no a user-guide, only
wiki and FAQs.

Now I have few questions:

1. I downloaded a style and happy to use it. But I want to set the
wallpaper to my favorite one. This can be done in ~/.fluxbox/overlay.
But I want to know how to do it in the style file, i.e.,
~/.fluxbox/styles/a-style/theme.cfg. I put a line in the theme.cfg
file:

rootCommand: fbsetbg -f ~/.wallpaper/good-world.png

but it takes no effect even after I restart the X.

2. I feel the font size of my style is too small, I then opened the
~/.fluxbox/styles/a-style/theme.cfg, and I found some font definitions
such as:

menu.frame.font: xxx
menu.title.font: yyy

But I don't get how to change the font size.

3. Is fluxbox using tranditionaly X fonts or fontconfig fonts?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, thanks!

Dude, you can't thank in advance and then proceed to thank afterwards,
it's just not done.

I know this is OT, but you criticize something I frequently do, and so
I feel guilty.

I suspect this double "thanks" habit goes way back when people still
wrote letters. In business correspondence, it was conventional to
insert the formula into an initial inquiry like, "Thank you for your
kind consideration." And when the party did in fact respond, you thank
them again for doing so.

That is, the two "thanks" serve different purposes. Am I wrong here,
or just very old fashioned?
