myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: dsl ext problems



No, your right...  I'm confused, and I'm confusing this thread..
The bsetbg line I'm refering to is in the STYLE file, NOT the init.  My bad..
There is not an init file in /usr/share/fluxbox .
The only one in DSL is in the /home/dsl/.fluxbox directory...

I should pull those init files out of the themes..
Thanks for the heads up..

Still doesn't answer the question about why only the rox theme is
working for iscraigh2 ?

it doesn't....it's a strange thing.
Maybe the rox theme is doing something it shouldn't, and preventing other themes from working?  The only thing I can think of that would do this, though, is if the root command was something other than "bsetbg imagefile".  It is possible to add a script as the root command, and make changes to other configs this way.  I'm guessing it's unlikely that this is the problem, though.
Okay you guys are over my head!!

So to spell it out....

If I put a theme in my root directory in 7.3, when I boot up that is the theme that automatically loads. I do the same thing with 8.0 and I get the default theme loading and the theme that was in my root directory appears in the styles menu for selection.

Except the rox theme if it is in the root directory it comes up on bootup.


Things that make you go Hmmm

(if they call it Peanut Butter why is there no butter in it... Hmmmm.)
Oh.

Well, to be honest, fluxbox styles aren't typically built to automatically become the default.  There's something about rox that goes beyond the standard.  Fluxbox styles are generally made so that you have a bunch of styles in your styles directory and you choose one to use from your menu.  That style then gets added to fluxbox/init and will stay there until you choose a new style.

I think that if you want to put a style into the root, and have it become your default automatically, that should be part of the mydsl-load script (or whatever it is that loads extensions at boot time).

I'm gonna go get this rox style and check it out...this is bugging me...
Bugging me to I can't figure out why it would be different between 7.3 and 8.0 but hey I'm not that bright :)
