Rox tips and tricks

From antiX

Make Rox-desktop Permanent

By default, antiX uses the root window and does not set a desktop. It can be toggled from the fluxbox menu - WM's>Rox>Pinboard.

To make it permanent, right click the .fluxbox/startup file >open as text> and uncomment the last line.

# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
#
# unclutter -idle 2 &
# wmnd &
# wmsmixer -w &
# idesk &
# rox -pinboard=Default &

Disable conky, by opening the .fluxbox Apps file - Fluxbox menu>Fluxbox>File Editing>Apps and commenting out this line.

[startup]   {conky}

Reboot into a Rox-desktop with 2 icons on the desktop, cd and floppy.

As from antiX-M8.5, Rox desktop can be automatically booted into by adding the cheatcode Rox at the boot grub menu. If you then install to hard drive, the Rox desktop will be preserved.
