Where do you set the green? I hope it's not in your ~/.xinitrc. The background command is overwritten by the rootCommand in the loaded style, which in turn is superseeded by the session.rootCommand directive in your Blackbox rc file. > (2) following a previous thread, i downloaded the CVS version of Bbpager, > but it refuses to appear vertically & i can't change workspace by > clicking; Frankly, I gave up on bbpager from CVS, it seems to behave rather strangely in many situations which are 0.70 related. > (3) Bbkeys doesn't seem to be working, so the only way to change > workspace is via the mouse wheel, which moves opposite to what one would > expect; You also need bbkeys from CVS, or the newly released 0.9.x version. You could also use the toolbar for navigating workspaces. There's a patch on the tracker which inverts the mouse wheel workspace change: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1183577&group_id=40696&atid=428682 > (4) at first, 'startx' crashed, as Blackbox expected a Fluxbox > background: i've deleted a line from the default ~/.blackboxrc to get > around this. By "default" blackboxrc you probably mean a 0.65 rc? Things have changed a bit for 0.70.

Just take a moment to migrate to 0.70 properly. It's been very usable for almost a year now, if I dare say so. Also, 0.70 can use lots of EWMH tools, see this page: http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/BlackboxAddons/Software -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
