fluxStyle/README.md

Style manager for the fluxbox window manager

I had to make some changes to get this to work on archlinux (Feb 9 2017), see diff below.

I added two scripts:

scripts/camp will create preview images from themes. I have used it on my system, it didn't take too long to execute, just a couple of minutes for a large bunch of prewiew-less styles.
Start it on an empty desktop. Beware, it will temporarily move fluxbox config files and restart fluxbox many times.
More information inside the script, or when executing it without arguments.
You might need to change the app1 and app2 variables, but be sure to keep the geometry intact.
Requires bash, xwininfo, xprop, xdotool, imagemagick.

scripts/ob2fb.py is a script that will convert openbox3 themes to fluxbox, salvaged from somewhere else. I haven't even tested it.
