Help with fluxbox

I've used fluxbox before, but this new version is throwing me off.

1) How do I set the toolbar width? Before it was just in the desktop right click menu but now it's not there. I've looked in the toolbar menu also.

2) Why do minimized apps follow me around from workspace to workspace? Allow me to explain. I'll have an instance of xterm open (lets say in workspace 1), minimize it, move to workspace 3 and it will still be in the toolbar  :? How do I top them from doing this?

3) How do I get ALL opened apps in a workspace to show up in the toolbar? Right now, maximized apps will cover one another up, so I can see one at a time listed in the toolbar, and it shows all minimized apps (what I want it to do.) How do I get it to work "windows style?"

Thanks again.

1) How do I set the toolbar width? Before it was just in the desktop right click menu but now it's not there. I've looked in the toolbar menu also.

 session.screen0.toolbar.widthPercent:   93      

Doubts 2) and 3) are related I think...

 session.screen0.iconbar.mode:   Workspace 

See this... I got from http://www.fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php

* Toolbar modes
         - Off (no toolbar visible)
         - None (no icons and no windows in toolbar)
     - Icons (icons on all workspaces)
     - Workspace Icons (icons on current workspace)
     - Workspace (both icons and windows on current workspace)
     - All Windows (both icons and windows on all workspaces)

Re: Help with fluxbox

The quick and easy way is to use the right click menu on the toolbar. Dont right click on the clock or the workspace or you will get their respective menus, right click the main of the toolbar.

All the options are in the menu, you dont have to edit your ~/.fluxbox/init

Re: Help with fluxbox

I'm using fluxbox-devel and everything is there when I right click on the slit.

You need to change the option for the tasklist to use Workspace (I think). This will solve both your problems.
