Yes, there's two meanings of pager. He he... caught you in a dumb move... since you make very few of them... I'll have to make the most of this one I hoped by using `desktop pager' it would avoid this very comment. Nah nah na na naaa

Rodrigo Lazo [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [...] http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/fbpager/ Yeah, I knew about that one and have tried it but its no more aware than bbpager (blackbox). By that I mean, clicking inside the pager does not transport you to that desktop. At least I did not see that happen here. However I've since found that in blackbox one can use the mouse scroll wheel to quickly navigate to any desktop and bbpager supplies the quick visual reference. So I think with a little usage, clicking in the pager will not be my first thought when needing to change desktops. One other missing ingredient though is that you cannot tell what the windows displayed inside the pager are. I'm used to seeing what they are ala kde. But again the mouse scroll is so quick, that may not matter much either. So far I can never remember which way to scroll. but with only 4 desktops I actually ever use... it still is very quick to mouse scroll until you find the right one.
