@Wallon – many thanks! That will be included (as soon as I figure out how to do it) in the next version!
@All – FT10 1.2 just hit the repos, with the changes I mentioned here: http://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/antix-transformation-pack-min-fluxbox-with-tint2-toolbar-antix-ft-10/page/12/#post-75530
Enabling Visual Effects:
One small change that was not included in version 1.2 is an easy way to turn visual effects on and off, straight from the menu:
1- On the FT10 enable window, select to install Compton (this has do be done only once)
2- FT10 menu > Favorite Applications… > Click the first button (advanced options) > On the config file that pops open, insert this line, anywhere you want that entry to appear( I advise after the line “### Separate list ##”) -you may translate the text on the start of the line, if you so wish:
Toggle Visual Effects (requires the Compton package), killall compton || compton -f -F -c -e 0.9 -i 1,/usr/share/icons/papirus-antix/48x48/apps/compton.png
Save the file and the new option appears instantly in the menu.
3-Click the “Toggle Visual Effects” menu entry to… well enable (or disable) the visual effects- When you enable Visual Effects, the Compton Compositor starts running, with the default settings I chose for it- this means that you get a small animation when you open or close windows, all windows have a small “shadow”, also the title bar of any window that used the default window decoration is a bit transparent, the toolbar and the menu are also a bit transparent- this does use a little bit of RAM and system resources, but I can freely activate this in my 32bits/1gig of RAM laptop, and it still works speedy as ever (ah ah, well, as speedy as it can).
Warning: please note that the default fluxbox setting used in antiX has some weird choices concerning transparency!!! If you use fluxbox and enable the visual effects, you may prefer to edit some fluxbox settings… (That’s not a FT10 problem not even a Conky problem, it has to do with that window manager defaults)
