Gui config? Why? Use xterm and vi! :-)
I prefer config files.

 anther wish is a panel/launcher. i think bbbutton would do that, but it's
 been listed on the bbtools site as a wish for over half a year now, and i
 have not seen it yet.
Just go and write it! A lot of peolple will say many thanks for that!
(btw. the root menu is the best launcher i've ever seen. I don't like
icons.)

 i'd aslo like to see something like bbmouse and bbsound for controlling
 mouse speed etc and the sound volume. most other apps i can think of are
 already there.
A well-configured x environmend does not need a bbmouse-like solution.
bbsound is already done: it is called 'xmix' or 'xqmixer' or whatever.

 finally, i'd love to see fundamental session management ... just something
 that will remember what dockapps i had in the slit and what applications
 were running when i logged off. or at least something that would let the
 slit remember what was in it at the time i logged out.
I prefer xinitrc.
Session management cannot be clean.
Session management caused most of my KDE problems.

 so there's my wish list for bb. I'll have to get back home and give bbconf
 a try for sure now - can't wait :)
Xterm and vi ;-)

 hello mark,
 
 in your ~/.blackboxrc you see a line like this:

 this is the style file for your the style you actually use and
 there is the font specified in:

 [SHIFT]+G (you jump to the ground of the file)
 
 there you can see:
 
 *Font:  -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*
 
 here you can put in whatever fonts you have installed on your
 machine. blackbox does not bring it own fonts.

 Why not just put your regular slit occupants in your .xinitrc or .xsession

well, sometimes i do want to change dockapps often ... i wish slit worked

Re: Question about initialization

John Marr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I am running blackbox on debian unstable. I would like to have gkellm and a
 background be added to my desktop whenever i boot up into my system.

You don't mean boot.  Booting is the process of starting your
machine. Your machine can sit there for hours (days, weeks) without
anybody being logged in -- you want this to start up when you log in.
In particular, you probably only want these to start iff you log in
locally and you use X (in contrast to logging in on the console or
remotely).

 I am
 using gdm. I have been told that by editing my .xinitrc or my .xsession file
 that I can have these apps load on boot. My problem is that I have added the
 correct commands to both of these file, yet nothing automatically starts
 when I boot into linux. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something
 messed up with my system.

I believe if you use [k|g|x]dm, it should be in your ~/.xsession, which
must be world readable and executable IIRC (man chmod for that).  They
also log their errors into a file, per default it's in /var/log/gdm/, I
think (though the location of that file can be found in
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf).  If you don't have read-permissions on the
log-file, ask you Sytem Administrator to investigate.

 I will bbe reading documentation tomorrow to solve this.

You should _always_ read the documentation first, then search the web,
search groups.google.com and then iff you don't find the answer or need
more information should you post to a newsgroup / mailing list.

In defense of myself Jan, this is what I did. Perhaps I mistyped my
intentions. Up until now, I have been reading the blackbox FAQ and other
online documentation at bb.themes.org. Last night, when I went there to
try to read up on my problem, I discovered that all the documentation has
been removed and a Come back later sign was put in its place.

Now, I did a google search to find other documentation for blackbox, but
every link I found was back to the bb.themes.org site. I even read the man
page for blackbox again, but it only says to edit the .xinitrc file. 

I am sure that you are just being helpful to me, and I appriciate it. I just wanted to 
point the lack of documentation at bb.themes.org. 

I will try your suggestions and see what happens :)

Thanks for all who are helping me

Success with startup.. I think

2001-10-08 Thread John Marr

I managed to get gkrellm and a background to load up on start, but I did
it in an unorthadox way. In order to have blackbox as an option in gdm, I
had to add a Blackbox script to the /etc/gdm/Sessions/ directory. I added
gkrellm -w  and a background command to the /etc/gdm/Sessions/Blackbox
script and it worked.

I am happy.

Really.

Is there some way that I can have the /etc/gdm/Sessions/Blackbox script
parse (I think that is the word-[read]) another file, possibly the
.xsession file?

Since I am the only user of this machine, it does not really matter, but I
would like to be able, if I log in as another user, the have a different
background.


Thanks in advance

a few bb questions

2001-10-08 Thread Jared Kidd

I love blackbox and would love to use it but it still has a couple of 
problems (on my pc):
-if i mswitch xawtv to fullscreen (xawtv just switches the res to 512x384) x 
will crash (reset to the login) or xawtv will just not show.
-x will sometimes reset when switching xine to fullscreen
-3d games will sometimes not work right, like the display will be big blocks 
of colors instead of the menu of the game.

I'm not sure if those are blackbox issues or related at all but I NEVER have 
any of these problems when in ximian gnome.  Gnome is just so much more 
stable on my system.

blackbox specific:
-The only thing that drives me nuts is the way windows are handled.  I have 
to click on the titlebar or bottom border to bring a window to front.  Is 
there not a way to set it to raise a window if any part of it it clicked on?
-i just wish there was a stick/unstick button on the titlebar but that is 
probably a programming thing to change.

Those are the main issues i have with bb, there are other things like 
loading things on bb startup and specifying a slit location but those are 
easy to find out by looking around.  I'm also sorry if the above questions 
seem simple but I can not find ANY documentation besides the man file and an 
FAQ online.  The doc links on bb's main site just link to themes.org with a 
sign saying come back soon.  Is there any other place these docs are 
located?  And if any of my above questions can be answered somewhere online, 
please point me there. Thanks.

How about using the following:

| # it contains all the stuff they want to start up before blackbox.  We

| blackbox=/usr/bin/blackbox
|
| # uncomment the following if you want $HOME/.xsession to be executed no
| # matter what
| # if [ -x $HOME/.xsession ]; then
| # exec $HOME/.xsession
| # fi
|
| if [ -x $HOME/.startbb ]; then
|   exec $HOME/.starbb
| else
|   exec $blackbox
| fi
|
`

Then each user can put whatever they want into ~/.startbb (which needs
to be chmod 755), and if a user does not have such a file, blackbox is
started all by itself.

(Note: this script is not tested -- I just wrote it down from the top of
my head, might need tweaking.)

Easiest way would be to start it in withdrawn mode -w which should put
it in the slit.  I've had some difficulty with this with regard to
GKrellM's display getting corrupted (images available on request) with
the majority of themes (including default).  I have however found a few
themes that work correctly.

 - bug fixing -- in menu editor... fixed segfault if user inserts an

 - feature request--setting showHiddenFiles(true) for each file
   dialog we do so people can browse to
   ~/.blackbox/{backgrounds,themes,bin}, etc. [vanRijn]

 - bug fix (thanks, Daniel Klein (bildzeitung) ) for this report on

   ~/.bbkeysrc or it couldn't be opened, etc. [vanRijn]

 - cleaning up garbage from kdevelop's environment--annoying as heck
   [vanRijn]

 - removing all automake/autoconf/autoheader stuff--since we have to

Themes

2001-10-08 Thread Josh Gates

hey

   Im trying to edit some themes to look better with transparent
terminals. Ive noticed that on most themes, there is a white/black border
around the inside of the window frame. when its focused its white, and
when its unfocused its black.  This is fine for normal use, but it doesnt
look good (IMO) with transparent terminals (like aterm) 
I have found two themes that do not have this white/black border in the
window, Artwiz' 'Minted' theme, and The 'Verona' theme by someone who i
dont remember (sorry!!) anyhow, this leads me to believe the setting for
this is in the theme itsself. But i cant seem to figure out what setting
exactly controls this. If anyone can clue me in i would greatly appreciate
it =)

you
  have to click on it.  Is that possible?

Try ALT+Clicking anywhere on the window.

 no, that doesn't work either.

Works here.  My guess is that you have one of the following active:

Num Lock
Caps Lock
Scroll Lock

Make sure they are off and try it again.

Jared,

Look at all the messages sent to you today (one of them had the answer).
Or search the archive -- this has been discussed probably over fifty
times.

Hmmm. The archive hasn't been updated for a while.

ps. I make sure caps lock, num lock and scroll lock are always off.

  A well-configured x environmend does not need a bbmouse-like solution.
  bbsound is already done: it is called 'xmix' or 'xqmixer' or whatever.

 This is what I use in my blackbox menu:

 [submenu] (Volume Settings)
   [exec] (Very Loud)  {mixerctl -w outputs.master=248.248}
   [exec] (Loud)   {mixerctl -w outputs.master=160,160}
   [exec] (Normal) {mixerctl -w outputs.master=120,120}
   [exec] (Quiet)  {mixerctl -w outputs.master=72,72}
 [end]

 [submenu] (Mouse Settings)
   [exec] (Very Fast)   {xset m 7 10}
   [exec] (Normal \(Fast\)) {xset m 3 10}
   [exec] (System Default)  {xset m default}
   [exec] (Glacial) {xset m 0 10}
 [end]

 I do not need to see what the current settings are. I do not need to waste
 display space to know what the current settings are.

 Note that mixerctl comes with NetBSD. I am assuming that a similar
 command-line mixer interface is available for other operating systems.

Another alternative is to run asmixer (or similar) in the slit.

Re: Themes

 hey
 
Im trying to edit some themes to look better with transparent
 terminals. Ive noticed that on most themes, there is a white/black border
 around the inside of the window frame. when its focused its white, and
 when its unfocused its black.  This is fine for normal use, but it doesnt
 look good (IMO) with transparent terminals (like aterm) 
 I have found two themes that do not have this white/black border in the
 window, Artwiz' 'Minted' theme, and The 'Verona' theme by someone who i
 dont remember (sorry!!) anyhow, this leads me to believe the setting for
 this is in the theme itsself. But i cant seem to figure out what setting
 exactly controls this. If anyone can clue me in i would greatly
 appreciate
 it =)

add this to the style:

frameWidth: 0

bbconf and a special version of the outdated toolbox (for people like me:
http://www.pointlessmovement.net/hacks/toolbox.shtml) can both add that in
for you.
