Is it possible to do some of the funky effects that are on the screenshots page (fluxbox.org/sacreenshots) or is it limited by the version of fluxbox in DSL and or the X server? As it would really kick ass, with a slick looking fast linux system and a chance to individualise my system even more :cool:

If someone has managed to do these things have the got any screenshots of their own?

Libretto -

I was just looking at that same thing this morning!

I was also curious if it hurts anything to update to the latest fluxbox. I see that they have a .deb package for the latest release! :cool:

Only one way to find out. Try it and see if it works...

If I were you, my first attempt would be on a livecd system so that changes can be easily undone.

Good Luck.

Looks like Chris & Lib have been volunteered to try them out.

Look forward to downloading them.

I tried. It complains about a file being newer than something that has to do with the kernel I think.

I know, I know, a real technical explanation isn't it?!! Well, I just kinda tried it on the fly. It kept telling me to run apt-get update. When I backed out of X I couldn't restart it. When I have some more time I will give it a try and document my messages.

Having too much fun playing with .7.2 right now! I didn't think I was ever going to get myself to go to bed last night!!
