FAQ <URL:http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php>
  

Can I use my existing .blackboxrc for Fluxbox? 

You may certainly, be sure to add some lines for titlebar and 
keygrabbing conf-files though. (read more in the README within
the tarball)
  

Can I use blackbox styles (themes) with Fluxbox?    

Yes.   
  

My settings won't save, why?    

The most probable cause is that you haven't made a ~/.fluxbox 
dir (read everything about it in the README as well)
  

I have ~/.fluxbox/ and when I edit init, my changes do not take    
effect, what's wrong? 

When you edit files in ~/.fluxbox/, like init, keys or   
titlebar, just click on RECONFIGURE in the fluxbox menu. 
  

KDE stuff?  
Yeah, do ./configure --enable-kde.   
  

BBtools won't work with v0.1.5  

If some bbtools crash with this version you need to applay this    
patch. <URL:http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/download/patches/fluxbox-0.1.5.bbtools-buggfix1.patch> 
patch -p0 < fluxbox-0.1.5.bbtools-buggfix1.patc
  

BBtools won't copy my current style settings, even after 
restart

Just link your ~/.blackboxrc -> ~/.fluxbox/init
  
I can't compile Fluxbox 0.1.4 with gcc 3.0.x. How can I fix   
this?  

By applying this patch. ( patch -p0 < fluxbox-0.1.4.gcc3.patch
) <URL:http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/download/patches/fluxbox-0.1.4.gcc3.patch>
  

I want assign some actions to the keys, like lower, stick, etc.    
Where can I find the list of valid actions?    

Take a look here <URL:http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/keys.php>

  
The tabs look ugly with some styles, how to fix it? 

Read this. <URL:http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/themetabfix.php>
  
I don't like TABS, how to disable them?   

Right click on the root window, in the menu Configuration,    
uncheck the Use Tabs option.    
If this won't help, edit your ~/.fluxbox/init, and replace true    
with false, in line: session.tabs: true (in that case click on
RECONFIGURE from the fluxbox menu.
