Fluxbox show the desktop

(1/6) > >>

GenuineAdvantage:
Ok, so I've added desktop icons to fluxbox. Now all I need is a "show desktop" button on the bar. Is there an easy way to do this? A tray icon that does it would do it, but I can't find anything like it.

Jack2000:
well maby a program that will instrukt every other program to "minimize"

:)
or maby integrate [winkey] + D


even easyer solution
just swich to another desk top ( you know there are 4 of them i think just swich to another one it will have the same icons but all the programs will be in the last desktop :)

worker201:
Does Fluxbox even have multiple workspaces?

pofnlice:
never open a window...then you will always have the desktop!

Somehow I bet that wasn't the answer you were looking for.

I like worker201 has the easiest idea. activate multiple desktops, then you can pick or choose from your task bar. However if you specifically want to get to that particular desktop...I would imagine you'll just have to shrink the window...

GenuineAdvantage:
Haha, but still. The point is it helps some people. It's one of my habits and since there's a button in other wms I not the only one. You open stuff compulsively, then you want to get to your icons, or in the case of flux, just merely right clicking to get to the menu - and that's the only way to get to program links on the gui, but there's a bunch of stuff in the way so you have to go and minimize everything one by one. There idea and habit I have is to open whatever you want at will, that's why a permanent menu on a panel is the best. Fluxbox doesn't have your program menu there. And as far as multiple workspaces, Yes, flux does have them. By default there's the usual 4, but even workspaces run out of space if you go around opening stuff on each one. And having to switch desktops slows you down. A command to minimize everything, is there such a thing? I like the idea of setting that to the windows key.
