Linux Ubuntu Running Fluxbox Help Needed!

I am using the ubuntu 7.10 Distro, and today I installed Fluxbox as a WM, and i am encountering a few awkward problems:
1. How can i change the screen resolution to 1680 x 1020
2. How do i change the size of the text in the right-click menu and firefox, as they are so small it becomes a struggle to read.
3. Is it possible to change the wallpaper, as the blue gets quite BORING!!
4. How do i browse my files and folders in the GUI.
5. Can I use different styles from the ones available in the menu

Thanks.

 

1. With the xorg.conf file
2. edit your fluxbox config file
3. edit your fluxbox config file
4. nautilus or konqueror
5. yes, documentation tells you where to put the styles and you can change it through the menu. Alternately, you can make your own styles.

 

run

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and select your resolution, its one of the last questions.

 

The fonts are still microscopic and un-readable, how do i edit the fluxbox config file?
Also, when i try to open nautilus, it loads the gnome desktop background and icons, which cannot be used. Then the right-click menu can no longer be used.

 

To browse file use:

Code:

nautilus --no-desktop

To change wallpaper:

Code:

fbsetbg image.png

Than add:

Code:

fbsetgb -l

to your ~/.fluxbox/startup file.

Also, read man fluxbox.

 

I don't appear to have that? I can only find /usr/share/fluxbox
Can't find any other folders which relate to fluxbox

 

you won't be able to ls it straight away. type cd ~/.fluxbox and you'll get into the directory

 

It may not exist yet. Just mkdir ~/.fluxbox

 

Yer I've found it, strangely enough I opened the "startup" file, without any adjustments and font size has gone perfect.
