in mxfb-workspace try replace fluxbox Restart with a fluxbox Reconfigure signal:
pkill -SIGUSR2 fluxbox
Why not just stick with Restart?
Code: Select all
*Restart*:::
Restart the whole darn thing. This starts a completely new fluxbox process,
rereads files and redraws all graphical elements. Running applications will
remain open, however, and restored to the same workspaces they were
previously in once fluxbox returns.

@Jerry3904
How about including some fluxbox themes from users?
@siamhie has been very active lately.
@ceeslans and @kobaian have some good stuff too.
...and maybe we could cull a few of the most awful ones from the list that fluxbox keeps smuggling in.

Are we talking about the styles provided in the default setup?

yep, that's the assortment of rascals, rogues and scallywags I meant.

Perhaps MX could ship a package (if not already) with some nice MX-inspired styles to match the XFCE and KDE theming as closely as possible.

@Melber I agree. The only ones I like from the default install are Artwiz, bora_black, debian-dark, green_tea, zimek_green.
The majority of them are black in nature which doesn't always work when coordinating with vibrant wallpapers.
These are my (so far) favorites I've downloaded from the tenr.de web site.
http://tenr.de/styles/?i=1 (I downloaded both tarballs)
Code: Select all
blueJess1.3 deepflux plain_green tron_green underwater
bora_olive hydrocyanic Qtek-blue tron_orange
centurion_green laser_green saintPatrick tron_purple
centurion_yellow modi tequila_sunrise tron_red
deepblue peak_ocean tron_blue tron_yellow
I especially love how the tron styles can work with most all wallpapers.
Maybe we could get some input to what other fluxers like from that tenr.de website and change things up for MXFB-25.

@DeepDayze Keep a lookout to see if anyone has started a thread for those desktops. This thread is ideas for the upcoming MX-25 fluxbox desktop.

@DeepDayze Nice idea. We just need to work out which themes are going to be used in mx25 xfce first...
@siamhie
I think DreamDayze means working up some fluxbox styles for mxfb25 to match whatever themes included in mx25 xfce.
Basically a fluxbox style imitating the xfwm4 component of the xfce theme (the part which controls the window title and border.
That's is pretty much what I did when making the mx-comfort fluxbox style, except I couldn't resist fiddling it a bit more.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I read it the other way round.
