+---------------+ | bbbutton v0.8 | +---------------+ HOMEPAGE: http://bbbutton.sourceforge.net/index.html 1. What is bbbutton This is a dock application for BlackBox (not only), that allows you to create single application launch buttons with the image and application launch of your preference. 2. Install/Uninstall/Upgrade tar -zxvf bbbutton_0.8.tar.gz cd bbbutton_0.8 make (systypes recognised: linux, freebsd) make install ( or uninstall ) NOTE: To upgrade to version 0.8 replace your existing "bbbutton" binary, but remember to use the new .bbbuttonrc format as outlined in the next section. 3. OK, now what !! Load multiple buttons when your X windows start using the configuration file .bbbuttonrc which is located in your home directory (try ls -a !!!). There we go in simple steps: a) Edit .bbbuttonrc file and type in the bbbuttons you wish to create. i.e your .bbbuttonrc should contain something like this: #--File .bbbuttonrc start--------------------- #------------------------------------------------# # BBButton Configuration file # # Format: # #------------------------------------------------# [BUTTON_NO] MaxButtons = 20 [LOAD] /root/.DesktopIcons/opera.xpm opera /usr/local/shared/icons/cd1.xpm /usr/local/bin/exampleBin #/root/.DesktopIcons/bcb.xpm bash --login startbcb /root/.DesktopIcons/gambas.xpm gambas /root/.DesktopIcons/xmms.xpm xmms /root/.DesktopIcons/mail.xpm sylpheed #--File .bbbuttonrc end------------------------ b) You need to load bbbutton itself through xinitrc. i.e your xinitrc should contain this: --File xinitrc start- bbbutton & exec blackbox --File xinitrc end--- 4. Requirements - The image must be of type 'xpm' and size '48x48' ( XV, ImageMagic and Gimp are some applications that could do that for you) 5.
