I think dunst is a good fit for a fluxbox notification daemon. It has a
per-user, text config file and it is desktop agnostic. It is pretty
configurable too. It is a drop-in replacement for the other
notification daemons (but may take a minute to set up a config you
like). All the normal notify-send commands work with it. It's been
around a few years, but I recently discovered it and am loving it.

My point is, that you can configure synaptics or libinput through Xorg
configuration files, without the need of manual utilities to tweak
configurations afterwords (like synclient).
Other than that, I've never used that synaptics utility. I've always
configured the Xorg drivers from the Xorg configuration files...
Something on top of the prior, what Xorg version are you using? Can
you check if using libinput rather than Synaptics (you can always
specify the driver you want on the Xorg configuration files)? You can
grep -e "Using input driver" <path_to_Xorg_log>/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
As suggested by [1]. Depending on your Xorg, and the drivers you have
installed, it might be you're using libinput rather than synaptics...
And if that's the case, you can configure libinput as commented
before, or you can configure Xorg to use synaptics instead as also
commented before.
Hope it helps...

Hi all,
in order to obtain notification on fluxbox, did you use notify-send or
something else?
I'm sure there is something better not related to gnome.

Hi,
I'd like to resize the windows like it is done in MS Windows 7 and

Mod4 Up :Maximize

But it would be nice to have `Mod4 Down` to resize and move the window

Any ideas?

Hey Thomas,
It didnt take too long to discover `xdotool` is *the* tool for the job.
I've written a script around it that mostly does the job. Since it doesn't
contain fluxbox-specific script, I'd reckon it would work just as well (or
badly) with any other window manager.
I've put it up here for anyone interested
https://github.com/rohit-h/window-resizer/blob/master/resizer.sh
Do report bugs/improvements. I'm interested to see what use cases others
might have.
Cheers?!

Nice idea! but I think there are a couple of gotcha's - things that plague
any kind of scripting approach to this (as opposed to having built-in
functionality in the WM).
o it doesn't understand multiple monitors
o it doesn't take struts (slit/toolbars) into account
o it doesn't always get the right window for 'restore'
I've struggled with these things for a while myself and while I haven't
tried to copy the windows behavior, I have some scripts that I find useful
in fluxbox and other EWMH-compatible window managers - I've been able to
get them to work on KDE and gnome.
Note that instead of xdotool I use the older wmctrl utility.

I'm pretty sure you could cobble together something to do what you want
