Hello again...

When i have installed DSL 3.01, there is an older fluxbox installed. with this one, when i mximize my windows, all the windows are placed automaticly OVER the toolbar (taskbar). with the one from the repository (i think 0.9.14) , when i mximize my windows, they will pe placed BEHIND the taskbar or with other settings the taskbar is behind the window...

is there a way to have the window again OVER the taskbar ?

right-click on the taskbar and toggle "maximize over" if it's there. I'm not in fluxbox at the moment, so I'm not sure it's available from the gui. If not, edit the init file:

Code Sample

session.screen0.toolbar.onTop: False
session.screen0.toolbar.layer: Desktop
session.screen0.toolbar.maxOver: false

That last one might actually need to be "true". I always get confused with MaxOver

You'll probably need to reload the fluxbox config after making changes.

session.screen0.toolbar.maxOver: true would be correct for what you want.

Myself, I pefer setting onTop as true, and auto hide. The same with the slit.

Speaking of which, is there a way to simply not have the slit load like, ever?

If you don't run any docked applications, the slit will not show.
