.SH "NAME"
CrystalRoxHOWTO \- Crystal ROX! HOWTO \- (Read as "Crystal rocks!" ;)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
None
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
In this HOWTO I will show you how to setup FVWM\-Crystal desktop with ROX\-Filer file manager, so they are working smoothly\&.
.SH "WHAT IS ROX-FILER?"
.sp
(From the ROX\-Filer manual) ROX\-Filer is a graphical file manger for the X Window System\&. Its user interface is based on the RISC OS filer and it supports similar features such as application directories and drag\-and\-drop loading and saving of files\&. The filer can also act as a pinboard, allowing you to pin frequently used files onto the desktop background\&.
.sp
Homepage: http://rox\&.sourceforge\&.net
.sp
In Crystal, while you can utilize an application\-based work system (open an application and from it\(cqs menu open a document), ROX\-Filer will let you use also document\-based work style (open a document file in selected application), of course after a little customization of Filer\(cqs settings\&.
.SH "HOW TO MAKE ROX-FILER WORK WITH FVWM-CRYSTAL?"
.sp
Install ROX\-Filer\&. I assume that executable is called \fBrox\fR\&. If name is different, change it accordingly or make a symlink to \fB/usr/local/bin/rox\fR\&.
.sp
In FVWM\-Crystal you can select a \fBdesktop manager\fR to use\&. This option is located in: Diamond ⇒ Preferences ⇒ Desktop manager\&. Select ROX\-Filer\&. Crystal will ask you to logout and start again your X session \- you can do it right away or later, if you wish\&.
.sp
If everything was correctly installed, FVWM\-Crystal should run with gray background and \fBHome\fR icon in the upper\-left corner of the screen (that\(cqs ROX\(cqs pinboard)\&. Now click on the background and from the menu select \fBROX\-Filer\fR ⇒ \fBOptions\fR\&. Go to \fBIconified windows\fR and turn off \fBShow iconified windows\fR option\&. Now go to \fBCompatibility\fR section and turn on \fBPass all backdrop mouse clicks to window manager\fR option\&. This way you will be able to open terminal windows using RMB on the desktop\&. ROX\-Filer menu can be still accessed by clicling with RMB on the icons\&. You can now change ROX\(cqs options at will\&.
.sp
You can change desktop wallpaper using the Crystal\(cqs menu system\&.
.SH "KNOWN ISSUES:"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
window thumbnails aren\(cqt transparent, probably because FVWM doesn\(cqt use ROX\(cqs pinboard as the source of transparency for it\(cqs icons?

.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Icon selected on the desktop stays selected; that\(cqs because ROX\-Filer sends all mouse button clicks to the window manager\&. If you don\(cqt want a selected icon on the desktop all the time, open a directory or launch a file from your desktop\&.
