Fluxbox and fbpager

[steve_d555]

Hi,
I have recently started using Fluxbox, and i've go to say I absolutely love it. There is just one little thing that irks me. I just installed fbpager and made the config file and put the appropriate
fbpager & into my ~/.fluxbox/startup, but whenever Fluxbox starts up and I open a window nothing shows in the pager. But when I start a new one from my console it works flawlessly.

Here is my fbpager config:

Code: Select all

fbpager.alpha: 64
fbpager.x: 0
fbpager.y: 700
fbpager.workspace.width: 64
fbpager.workspace.height: 64
fbpager.workspacesPerRow: 6400
fbpager.followDrag: false
fbpager.followMove: false
fbpager.changeWorkspaceButton: 11
fbpager.raiseWindowButton: 2
fbpager.lowerWindowButton: 3
fbpager.closeWindowButton: 3 3 1
fbpager.exitButton: 1 3 3
fbpager.nextWorkspaceButton: 4
fbpager.prevWorkspaceButton: 5
fbpager.moveInWorkspaceButton: 1
fbpager.dragToWorkspaceButton: 2
fbpager.align: LeftToRight
fbpager.color: white
fbpager.windowColor: white
fbpager.focusedWindowColor: white
fbpager.windowBorderColor: black
fbpager.backgroundColor: darkgray
fbpager.currentBackgroundColor: lightgray
fbpager.multiClickTime: 250
fbpager.icons: false
fbpager.windowBorderWidth: 1

Please help

Try putting the config file in your /root/ folder, just a suggestion. But it won't hurt to try either.

Last time i checked fbpager was broken
Did you try opening new windows again after opening it the second time? you should see an error message

Code: Select all

Warning: Couldn't get WM_STATE property
Warning: Couldn't get WM_STATE property
Warning: Couldn't get WM_STATE property

It'd be great if someone knew a fix for this

(your problem is when it starts the first time.. it gives those errors when you open new windows, when you open the app the second time, its able to register the currently open windows, but not any new ones.)

Ya, actuaclly that was exactly what happened. But sometimes it wouldnt even pick up aterm even after the second time opening. Its wierd. O well, guess ill try others like bbpager or something.

I have the same problem with fbpager... guess I'll try bbpager too unless there are any other solutions

Ya, I guess you should. This is a very old thread and since then I have switched to Enlightenment, which is very good.
