rox filer

[shadowrider]

hi just installed rox filer 1.3.2 but when you run it, it gives you like an open desktop windows (which is what it is), but i saw someone's desktop (think it was hayl's), that it appears as icons(sort a like desktop icon on windows), how to do that?

You have to start it with a pinboard.

I think it's like this:

rox -p=foo (or whatever)
or
rox --pinboard=foo

It's in the doc anyway.

thx...--pinboard=[name] works.
but it can only display one folder (home)
where if i use rox -top=[name], it'll display home and apps on the top panel.
why is that?

[shadowrider]

oh btw, when i run rox -p, it overrides my previous desktop.
(i can't get the fluxbox menu by right-clicking, and it uses the default solid background set by flux)

i want rox to run as pinboard but still can access fluxbox menu by right clicking and can still use the image i set by bsetbg.
is there anyway to do that?
thx

yeah...finally i found the section "backdrop on pinboard"

but sorry...i kind a don't get the whole concept of rox (or as what it is), how do i access the fluxbox menu when setting as pinboard (or at least, can you point out of which section in the manual that explains this?)
thx

Go in Rox options, there is a setting to avoid Rox to grab the clicks on the desktop.

In the current version, 1.3.7, the option you want looks like this:
