.SH "Name"
fluxbox-style \- A comprehensive look at styles/themes for fluxbox(1)\&.
.SH "Synopsis"
.sp
This document describes various options available for fluxbox styles\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
What is a Style?
.sp
Styles, sometimes referred to as Themes, are a graphical overlay for the fluxbox(1) window manager\&. If you wanted to get to know fluxbox, the styles would be the \fIlook\fR of the \fIlook and feel\fR\&.
.sp
Styles are simple ASCII text files that tell fluxbox(1) how to generate the appearance of different components of the window manager\&. The default installation of fluxbox(1) is shipped with many classic examples that show a great deal of what one could do\&. To use one of the standard styles navigate to the \fISystem Styles\fR menu under your main fluxbox(1) menu\&.
.sp
fluxbox(1) uses its own graphics class to render its images on the fly\&. By using styles you can determine, at a great level of configurability, what your desktop will look like\&. Since fluxbox(1) was derived from blackbox many often wonder if old themes will work on the latest releases of fluxbox(1)\&. Well they basically do, but you will have to tune them since the fluxbox(1) code has changed quite a bit since the initial grab\&.
.SH "STRUCTURE"
.sp
A style is made up of a few major components which then have their own sub\-directives\&. The major components are as follows:
.sp
The \fIwindow\&.*\fR directives control the appearance of the window frames, window\&.tab\&.* controls the appearance of the window tabs, \fImenu\&.*\fR controls the appearance of the popup menu that you see when you right click on the desktop\&. \fItoolbar\&.*\fR is the bar you will see at the top or bottom of your screen\&. Finally the \fIslit\&.*\fR has options you can use to customize the appearance of the slit\&. However if you don\'t set the slit directives specifically, the slit\'s appearance is controlled by the toolbar directives instead\&.
.sp
To understand how the style mechanism works, it is nice to know a little about how X11 resources work\&. X11 resources consist of a key and a value\&. The key is constructed of several smaller keys (sometimes referred to as children), delimited by a period (\&.)\&. Keys may also contain an asterisk (*) to serve as a wildcard, which means that one line of text will match several keys\&. This is useful for styles that are based on one or two colors\&.
.sp
A more complete reference to this can be found in X(7), section \fIRESOURCES\fR\&.
.SH "LOCATION"
.sp
There are many places to store your styles, the most common is in your \fI~/\&.fluxbox/styles\fR directory\&. The initial installation will place the default styles in \fI@pkgdatadir@/styles\fR providing a basic usable configuration\&.
.sp
When creating your own style, create a directory (normally the name of your style) in \fI~/\&.fluxbox/styles/\fR (If the \fIstyles\fR directory doesn\'t exist, create that also)\&. While there isn\'t an official structure, it is common to create a directory named after your style and place your pixmaps directory (if required) in there along with a file called theme\&.cfg (may also be named style\&.cfg)\&. This file is where you will construct your style using the components covered later in this manual page\&. An example of steps taken when beginning a style project of your own may look like:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
$ cd
$ mkdir \-p ~/\&.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps
$ cd ~/\&.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle
$ nano theme\&.cfg
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Output of a packaged style should look like the following:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
$ cd
$ tar \-tjvf YourStyle\&.tar\&.bz2
 \&.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/theme\&.cfg
 \&.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps
 \&.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps/stick\&.xpm
 \&.\&.\&.
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Of course, all of these are just preferences, fluxbox(1) allows for the customization of many things, including how you handle your styles\&. Just remember, however, that if you plan to distribute your style you may find some community bickering if you don\'t follow practices\&. :)
.SH "CREATING YOUR STYLE"
.sp
As discussed above, fluxbox(1) allows you to configure its four main components: the toolbar, menus, slit and window decorations\&. Remember that you can customize the slit with its own directives, otherwise the slit will take the appearance of the toolbar\&.
.sp
Here are some quick examples to illustrate basic syntax:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
toolbar\&.clock\&.color: green
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This sets the color resource of the toolbar clock to \fIgreen\fR\&. Another example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
menu*color:     rgb:3/4/5
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This sets the color resource of the menu and all of its \fIchildren\fR to `rgb:3/4/5\'\&. (For a description of color names, see X(1)\&.) So this one also applies to \fImenu\&.title\&.color\fR and \fImenu\&.frame\&.color\fR\&. And with
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
*font:  \-b&h\-lucida\-medium\-r\-normal\-*\-*\-140\-*
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
you set the font resource for all keys to this font name all at once (For information about the fonts installed on your system, you can use a program like xfontsel(1), gtkfontsel, or xlsfonts(1)\&.)
.sp
In the last example you will notice the wildcard (*) before font\&. In a Fluxbox style you can set a value with a wildcard\&. The example means that every font in the style will be what is specified\&. You can do this with any component/value\&. For example if you wanted all of the text to be one color you would do:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
*textColor:  rgb:3/4/5
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This means that you can setup a very simple style with very few properties\&. See the EXAMPLES below for an example of this in practice\&. fluxbox(1) also allows you to override wildcards in your style\&. Lets take our example above and add an override for the toolbar\&.clock\&.textColor component:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
*textColor: rgb:3/4/5
toolbar\&.clock\&.textColor: rgb:255/0/0
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
With that all of the text will be \fIrgb:3/4/5\fR except the toolbar clock text which will be \fIrgb:255/0/0\fR\&.
.sp
Now what makes fluxbox(1) so spectacular is its ability to render textures on the fly\&. A texture is a fillpattern that you see on some styles\&. Texture descriptions are specified directly to the key that they should apply to, e\&.g\&.:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
toolbar\&.clock:  Raised Gradient Diagonal Bevel1
toolbar\&.clock\&.color:    rgb:8/6/4
toolbar\&.clock\&.colorTo:  rgb:4/3/2
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Don\'t worry, we will explain what these mean\&. A texture description consists of up to five fields, which are as follows:
.PP
\fBFlat | Raised | Sunken\fR. gives the component either a flat, raised or sunken appearance\&.
.PP
\fBGradient | Solid\fR. tells fluxbox(1) to draw either a solid color or a gradient texture\&.
.PP
\fBHorizontal | Vertical | Diagonal | Crossdiagonal | Pipecross | Elliptic | Rectangle | Pyramid\fR. Select one of these texture types\&. They only work when
\fBGradient\fR
is specified\&.
.PP
\fBInterlaced\fR. tells fluxbox(1) to interlace the texture (darken every other line)\&. This option is most commonly used with gradiented textures, but it also works in solid textures\&.
.PP
\fBBevel1 | Bevel2\fR. tells fluxbox(1) which type of bevel to use\&. Bevel1 is the default bevel\&. The shading is placed on the edge of the image\&. Bevel2 is an alternative\&. The shading is placed one pixel in from the edge of the image\&.
.sp
Instead of a texture description, also the option \fBParentRelative\fR is available, which makes the component appear as a part of its parent, e\&.g\&. totally transparent\&.
.sp
Or for even more possibilities Pixmap\&. If pixmap texture is specified (it might not be necessary on every occasion) the pixmap file is specified in a separate pixmap resource\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
toolbar\&.clock: pixmap
toolbar\&.clock\&.pixmap: clock_background\&.xpm
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This feature might need some investigation, reports say that sometimes the resources color and colorTo must be set and then they may not be set\&.
.sp
All gradiented textures are composed of two color values: the \fIcolor\fR and \fIcolorTo\fR resources\&. When \fBInterlaced\fR is used in \fBSolid\fR mode, the \fIcolorTo\fR resource is used to find the interlacing color\&.
.SH "A WORD ABOUT FONTS"
.sp
We should comment about fonts before we move on to the complete component list\&. fluxbox(1) supports different options for text\&. These options currently include bold, halo and shadow\&. To set these do this: fontname\-size:options for any of the font components in the style file\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
menu\&.title\&.font: sans\-8:bold,shadow
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
The latest versions of fluxbox(1) (> 0\&.9\&.8) also support different values for these text options\&. The possibilities are as follows:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Shadow color=<colorname> offsetx=<integer> offsety=<integer> Halo color=<colorname>
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
For the case of completeness, here are some real world examples:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.fam C
.ps -1
.nf
.BB lightgray
*\&.font: Verdana\-10:bold,shadow:offsetx=2;offsety=4;color=green
*\&.font: Verdana\-10:halo:color=blue
.EB lightgray
.fi
.fam
.ps +1
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Of course this could all be placed on one line\&. Also note that for the offset options, negative integers are allowed\&.
.SS "FONT PROBLEMS"
.sp
If you have problems installing fonts or getting them to work, you should read the docs page at xfree\&.org\&. Here is a link to one of these: \m[blue]\fBhttp://xfree\&.org/4\&.3\&.0/fonts2\&.html#3\fR\m[]
.SH "FULL COMPONENT LIST"
.sp
Here is the exhaustive component list for fluxbox(1) styles\&. Each one is listed with their type of value required\&. Comments in a style file are preceded with an exclamation point (!) which we also use here so that these can be pasted into a new theme\&.cfg to be customized appropiately\&. Please note that in order to keep styles consistent it is often the practice of stylists to provide all of the theme\-items in their style file even if they are not used\&. This allows the user the ease of changing different components\&.
.SH "WINDOW OPTIONS"
.sp
Many, many things you can do with window design in fluxbox(1), below are your options\&. Have fun\&.

.SH "BACKGROUND"
.sp
Every style must specify the background option\&. If you don\'t want your style to change the user\'s background, then use `background: none\'\&. The options `centered\', `aspect\', `tiled\', and `fullscreen\' require the `background\&.pixmap\' resource to contain a valid file name\&. The `random\' option requires `background\&.pixmap\' to contain a valid directory name\&. For these options, \fBfluxbox(1)\fR will call \fBfbsetbg(1)\fR to set the background\&. The options `gradient\', `solid\', and `mod\' all require `background\&.color\' to be set\&. `gradient\' and `mod\' both require `background\&.colorTo\'\&. `mod\' requires `background\&.modX\' and `background\&.modY\' to be set as well\&. These options will be passed to \fBfbsetroot(1)\fR to set the background\&. The special option `unset\' is for use in user overlay files only\&. It specifies that fbsetbg should never be run (by default, even when `none\' is set in the overlay, fluxbox will try to run \(lqfbsetbg \-z\(rq to restore the last wallpaper)\&.
