69fluxbox(1) comes with a program called startfluxbox(8) usually located wherever you installed fluxbox. This script provides you with many options and variables that can be set when starting fluxbox. To actually call fluxbox and begin using it, you should place "exec startfluxbox" in your /.xinitrc or /.xsession (depending on your distribution and/or display manager) as the last executed command. This is assuming that the location of fluxbox(1) and startfluxbox(8) are in your shell's $PATH. Also note that you may need to create the /.xinitrc file or your setup may use /.xsession instead, depending on your X setup. For more information on your shell, please visit your shell's manual page. 69fluxbox(1) comes with a program called startfluxbox(8) usually located wherever you installed fluxbox.

1716Parameters in the `apps' file are case\-sensitive. Application names are taken from the first X window WM_CLASS attribute by default (WM_NAME = title, WM_WINDOW_ROLE = role). You can see this attribute by using the xprop command. Transient windows are not affected by application settings. Take care when using regular expressions. If you are not familiar with regular expressions you can disable this feature by specifying \-\-disable\-regexp during configure.

1718.SH "GROUPS"
1719Since version 0.1.11, fluxbox has a feature called autogrouping, that is apps are automatically grouped together if they are in the same group. NOTE: this feature is deprecated since version 0.9.1 in favor of grouping using the `apps' file, since it is much more powerful.
1720.sp
1721You can create groups simply by editing the ~/.fluxbox/groups file. This file takes the format of:

1737Just type this command into a terminal and use the mouse to click on the desired app and it will tell you what to write as an element (use the first of the two names returned). Each line forms a different group, e.g.:
