Fluxspace combines the window management features of Fluxbox with advanced desktop management functionalities, providing users with a versatile and efficient software solution.
Fluxspace is a software tool that brings together Fluxbox's innovative window management with new desktop management capabilities. This project efficiently harnesses existing components and the power of Python to help create a flexible and personalized desktop environment around Fluxbox and other lightweight window managers.
This software tool enables users to add per-workspace desktop icons and panels to Fluxbox by integrating tools such as Rox Filer and Idesk. In addition, users can decorate each workspace with different wallpapers, manage their startup applications, and automatically start and stop applets as they enter and leave workspaces. Each workspace is fully customizable, allowing users to have unique tools and dockapps specific to each workspace.
To use Fluxspace, you will need to have Python (version 2.2), Imlib2, and Fluxbox or other Blackbox derivative installed. It is important to note that only Fluxbox has been extensively tested with this software. Optional modules such as Rox Filer and Idesk can also be used with Fluxspace to enhance its features further.
The latest release of Fluxspace comes with several improvements, including better build and support for static python libraries. It also supports slit meters similar to gkrellm and timed events, which allow clocks and other features to be more efficient. You can check the ChangeLog for a comprehensive list of enhancements.
Overall, Fluxspace is an excellent software tool that enables users to personalize their desktop environment easily. Its blend of Fluxbox's window management with unique desktop management capabilities makes it a perfect choice for lightweight window managers.
