Yup, surely didn't invent it, just added a standard simple one to the default install.

My current clean and simple desktop.

T2 toolbar with weather. Simplified conky. T2 dock with action buttons to suspend, reboot and shutdown.

Nice setup!
fb-toolbar + conky + tint2-dock in a great combo

EDIT: sorry, now noticed that toolbar is not fluxbox native, but tint2
still a great setup...

That's why I typed T2 toolbar and T2 dock.

The flux23 text launches app finder. When you click on the clock it launches gsimplecal.

Stuff I've been working on...
New gtk theme, fluxbox style and tint2 panel together with a wallpaper I threw together.

light theme



and dark theme

Wowza! Nice work.

"Threw together" Looks like many many hours of very hard work to me, it looks quite unified and checks off a lot of items for people who may think Fluxbox is still a bit cobbled together, kudos!

@AVLinux
ok, I meant I threw the wallpaper together. The gtk theming has been a work in progress for a while now.
Panel is just a slight reworking of the existing workspaces tint2 and the fluxbox style is an updated comfort with new window decorations.

It looks great!

A minor note: The thick titlebar looks good, but for me it means unnecessary loss of space. I know that it fits well with the titlebar from modern gtk3/4 themes, but the gtk-titlebar contains more functions, menus etc. that justify the size. In my opinion, for the fluxbox-titlebar it is not the case.

and I have always found the "standard" fluxbox titlebars way too thin. There's a reason I made a comfort-plus fb-style.

Will likely make an alternative thin titlebar version at some point in the future...
