Re: [new]fxdesktop

you need to start another wm first, openbox works well, then run fxdesktop.....

it is still very early in the dev cycle but is swift and responsive, has java-webstart intergrated too

Re: [new]fxdesktop

thats why I provided a build for 1.5.6 its the most stable of the dev versions, you may try any of the other numbers in between.

if you are trying to get foxdesktop all you need to do is aurbuild -b fox aurbuild -b fxdesktop

version 0.6 of fxdesktop was built against 1.5.6 none of the other dev releases work with this version of fxdesktop

Re: [new]fxdesktop

Fox is already in the repos, you don't have to compile it.

Re: [new]fxdesktop

Ah I finally found the topic smile
I have to say that FOX Desktop is _really_  _early_ in its development stage.
In a couple of days I will release a update to support the latest FOX 1.5.13 plus some additional features and stricter checking to make sure the correct wm is running.

Re: [new]fxdesktop

The new one is out there. I might actually start developing it a little bit faster, since at this point I started using it myself... roll

Re: [new]fxdesktop

Any chance of some screenshots or even a vague description of what it does?
because the homepage has none!
theres 2 lines about it, one saying its GNU, and the other that its built on the FoxTK.

Im interested in seeing what DE / WM's are available, but how can i know whether to use it if i cant find out anything about what it does / plans to do / looks like?!

Re: [new]fxdesktop

look in the screenshot thread, there are few there, its really early days yet and with the latest version you have to export the wm so that FDE knows where it is ie

export "FOX_DESKTOP_WM=openbox" fxdesktop

install it have a look it only takes a minute, and of you dont like let pacman eat it.......C
