By they way, at the beginning the "panel" get set on the top of the screen. Then it places at the bottom (where I want it).
You need to allow lxpanel a minimal margin (1 pixel is enough) in order to open at the preferred position in the fluxbox desktop. See the screen grab

Also I would like to show the desktop icons... how can I change the line
# add desktop icons
idesktoggle idesk on 1>/dev/null 2>&1 & ?
Beats me... I prefer to not show any icons on my fluxbox desktop....
Did you check the mxfb documentation and/or Jerry's youtube tutorials?

Thank you so much, yes! now that you mentioned it I remember reading about this margin somewhere.
Regarding icons, I have to check a topic on this forum , which I couldn't check yet.

Great theme by the way, what is it?

On the icons: why don't you just read the section in the little Manual (Ctrl+F1). Or look at our video on it: the link to the channel is in the "Links" section?
