bbkeys and multi-head displays

2001-10-22 Thread Marc Wilson
Is there something I'm missing about bbkeys that would make it behave properly in a multiple-screen environment? Blackbox is more than willing to manage any and all screens it can find on the server, but bbkeys If only run on one screen, it can manage keys for that screen. Run another copy

Well, when I try to run it with -i command, nothing happens ... -h option is completely ignored ... i compiled this from source, and there were no errors. also, when i change the position of the app in bbappconf.bb file, that is also ignored as well. looks like bb is ignoring all display options

No, I'm not running Xinerama. I don't WANT to run Xinerama. I HATE Xinerama. I *want* the screens to be two separate logical entitites. Ahem. Doing that makes everything work, I admit, because then you have the X server treating everything that goes on as though it were taking place on a

Becuase, usually, when it's not under development, after a year or two of stagnation, it starts to become obsolete. Blackbox is awesome, but i doubt i'll want to still be using v61.x two years from now... ...that's just me, though. On Friday 19 October 2001 23:36, you wrote: * Eric Christian

BBpager is an essential one for me, too :) One thing that i would also like to see is something similar to the KDE/gnome/windows task bar... only really stripped down and fast... ;) when i've got a lot of windows open at once, and i'm switching between them all, sometimes i wish for the

Ah yes. i've got a few minor gripes also with the way ROX handles things, but that's probably becuase i'm used to the Windows/KDE file manager conventions and keyboard shortcuts. I'd really like to see more keyboard shortcuts put into ROX... like (for example) to be able to hit F5 and have

Have you taken a look at fluxbox (fluxbox.sourceforge.net), it have PWM-like tabs, and it is very useful when you have alot of windows opend and want to easyly switch between them. But I can agree, I do miss a windows-like taskbar. BBpager is an essential one for me, too :) One thing that i

that's what it sounds like to me too -- that the person wants to be able to run an arbitrary program, and have it's position on the screen remembered and preserved. (not to have to manually enter it into .xinitrc and have the program run only when BB is started) i certainly do not want that to

Well, I tried it, and it's nice enough, I suppose, although I really don't see what's all that different about it from blackbox. Except the tabs are kind of nice... they need more work, though. They don't have a consistent background, so they come, they go, they come again. The text is always
