|
---|
| 175 | name, bsetroot. If you want to change the desktop color with the theme,
|
---|
| 176 | then fix the styles (as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>)
|
---|
[f27505a] | 177 | with these commands:</para>

|
---|
[5af003c5] | 181 |
|
---|
[dd4a853] | 182 | <para>However, if you set the desktop color with the themes, it creates a
|
---|
| 183 | problem when setting a background image. Fluxbox loads the themes after
|
---|
| 184 | the commands in <filename>~/.fluxbox/startup</filename> have been run,
|
---|
| 185 | which wipes out the pretty picture it's just set on your desktop! The
|
---|
| 186 | solution is to comment out the <command>fbsetroot</command> command in
|
---|
| 187 | the themes (again, as <systemitem
|
---|
| 188 | class="username">root</systemitem>):</para>

| 191 | $(grep -lr bsetroot /usr/share/fluxbox/styles)</userinput></screen>
|
---|
| 192 |
|
---|
| 193 | <para>You can still set any color you want as your desktop with an

|

[5af003c5] | 196 |
|
---|
[7a5dad89] | 197 | <para>In some locales the font specified in the theme may not contain the

---|
| 198 | needed characters. This results in menus with blank items.
|

| 200 | relevant file in <filename class='directory'>/usr/share/fluxbox/styles</filename>
|

| 201 | with a text editor and altering it so that it names a font you like.</para>
