This is a 700x500 transparent png I made a awhile back.
Transparent PNG, I didn't even think of that idea :-)
Looks good with the Fluxbox logo.
I'm not a fan of ASCII art, this part in Neofetch bothered me more the last years than its strange behavior (depending on the terminal?) not displaying everything.
I should have looked at the wiki much earlier :-)

I'm not a big fan of ASCII art myself. When I saw your neofetch screenshots on the FB group page I was blown away at how beautiful neofetch looked. I've since switched from RoxTerm to XFCE's terminal because RoxTerm apparently doesn't support images. Here's my latest neofetch window. I've turned off ascci/images in neofetch and in the xfce terminal settings used a background image instead of transparent. My next project will be to take that background image and convert it to transparency for the full effect.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

Well, that was easier than expected. :)

That's pretty nice! If there is a config file for that would you be willing to share it with me?
Sure thing. Inside the zip file is the logo I created (Fluxbox-logo.png 700x500) and the image I created for XFCE's terminal using the logo (flux-trans.png 960x540).

@Jerry3904: siamhie mentioned earlier he switched to xfce4-terminal to enable setting a background image.
This can easily be set in xfce4-terminal's preferences tab. Same background will automatically be set in its dropdown terminal.
Got it (sort of) working in rxvt-unicode terminal.
Guess that xterm will also allow some sort of transparent background image setting

There's not much happening with me anymore.
Installation completed, the desktop is just in 2 variants, for me and then the visitor variant, which are on dock and icons ...

Lovely, desktop, but what catches my eye, is that you are using a powerhouse of a system to run MX Fluxbox, 12 core CPU and 32 GB of RAM. Wow, that's a lot of horse power that sits idle
Also, amazed at the icon set you found. Those icons on the bottom panel are rather striking. I'm still rocking all of the defaults, even the default wallpaper for MX 21 because I liked the default look so much. The only things I've change is going to the darker MX Comfort theme, and the colorscheme in Roxterm.
