@bignono1 - this should be modularization at its finest (use what you need .. if you don't need all the language files or can get by without local manpages, don't plan on compiling the add-on imlib stuff for some other pup version than p431 and etcetera and so forth, then no - don't just click everything). You can store the files locally and try doing it a step at a time starting with fluxbox-1.3.0.pet and adding only what you need or :shrug:
My standard 'warning' about dotpets is to do them in a safe environment (some can do odd things which you might not catch until after you're all done configuring fluxbox's many options or a much later save after you've done several other things you don't want to lose and you with no backup .. it's not pleasant ) like pfix=ram or however works for you, sometimes there are conflicts since even the best dotpet ever done cannot account for all the variables there may be in a particular setup.
If you let a pup eat everything, every once in awhile there's a mess

Is anyone else having crashes on 1.3?
I'm not using aragon's pet, I compiled it on dpup 009 and running fluxbox now, I have X crashes, especially when I want to restore iconified windows from fluxbox's middle click menu.
Please try this particular action, try to minimize rox filer and/or browser then go to middle click -> Icons and restore some of minimized windows several times and tell me if it crashes.

Every window manager should have its 'own' key-bind file (since they all vary a bit). Oddly that F12 bind (from jwm-personal?) is one that gets offed almost by instinct for me (F12 is reserved for Opera's quickprefs in my case) .. Alt + F1 might be a better choice (unless it conflicts with something else)
Fluxbox config can be a bit more involved but that's part of the charm (little things can interact oddly until you get a 'feel' for how everything meshes)
@bignono1
Wbar makes a nice launcher (or you could look into the 'slit' option, which is kind of like bbdock..)

Hi...thanks for this! What's the file and entry to start fluxbox at boot every time? I'm using Puppeee last stable release.
Also, where can I change something to show Fluxbox as a window manager option under 'change window manager' menu item? (not necessary of course, but...)
thanks for helping a puppy newb.....

reboot to prompt then type this:
xwin startfluxbox
This will keep fluxbox , to change to other wm type : xwin jwm or
xwin icewm or whatever wm you have.

This is what I did to add fluxbox to the "change window manager" window in Puppeee-1.0.
File is /usr/bin/change-wm
Code: |
#! /bin/bash
set -x
WM=`cat /etc/windowmanager`
if [[ $WM == startflwm ]] ; then
FLWM='<default>true</default>'
else
FLWM='<default>false</default>'
fi
if [[ $WM == icewm-session ]] ; then
ICEWM='<default>true</default>'
else
ICEWM='<default>false</default>'
fi
if [[ $WM == openbox-session ]] ; then
OPENB='<default>true</default>'
else
OPENB='<default>false</default>'
fi
if [[ $WM == startfluxbox ]] ; then
FLUX='<default>true</default>'
else
FLUX='<default>false</default>'
fi
export MAIN_DIALOG="
<window title=\"Change Window Manager\">
<vbox>
<frame Choose a Window Manager>
<radiobutton>
<label>Flwm</label>
$FLWM
<action>if true echo startflwm > /etc/wm</action>
</radiobutton>
<radiobutton>
<label>Icewm</label>
$ICEWM
<action>if true echo icewm-session > /etc/wm</action>
</radiobutton>
<radiobutton>
<label>OpenBox</label>
$OPENB
<action>if true echo openbox-session > /etc/wm</action>
</radiobutton>
<radiobutton>
<label>fluxbox</label>
$FLUX
<action>if true echo startfluxbox > /etc/wm</action>
</radiobutton>
</frame>
<text><label>Changes will be applied when you restart Xwindows</label></text>
<hbox>
<button tooltip-text=\"Exit\">
<input file stock=\"gtk-quit\"></input>
<label>Exit</label>
<action type=\"exit\">Exit-NOW</action>
</button>
</hbox>
</vbox>
</window>"

I guess just opening ~/.xinitrc and adding exec startfluxbox is to complicated for some people here.

Thanks for having done up this package of Fluxbox Aragon thus moving our usual install of Flux lightyears ahead of 1.0.1 in the PPM! And for the record: It's awesome! Amazingly stable and superb running in my Luci-252.
In fact, this looks and runs so great/fast in just this frugal test install that I'm seriously considering of replacing my Fluxbox installs throughout my 14 other puplets with this as well.
@Dejan: I haven't been having any crashes whatsoever with the 130 version compiled by Aragon here on my Luci-252 replicating what you've done. HTH?
Guess I should call it a day. Thanks again Aragon!
Cheers/Amicalement,
Eyes-Only

OK, since I booted 5.2 to compile pidgin I installed aragon's 1.3.1 pet this times and had crash on same action. It really is very fast, I think much faster then fbpanel/openbox combo they have in 5.x and I like aragon's green theme mod too.
