I know there are puppy users that like fluxbox and there are some puplets with it like pupflux too, so if you happen to make a style for it share it here. These days Rupp and me were playing with this azenis theme he ripped from metacity theme from gnome-look, for details and download check azenis @ puppy-look

That looks great. It would be nice if they would get rid of icewm and put flux back in the default puppys. It's so un-windows.

Been awhile since I tangled with ice (like all wms, there's features and then there's ...). Been having a play with Fb as an add-on dotpet (thanks be to all who make it fair easy .. especially the plinej-xdgmenu-fix from here) altho Pupflux has some nice touches as well (tiny icons in the menus as I recall) for a 'full' puplet ... currently in p412 and p425, think I like a fix'd BB theme best (it's in this thread - angel style is a bit more legible than my own mod fwiw, Fb seems to take a bit of time to settle in and get used to all the settings but it's a great 'box. Lately more in the 'misty-but-not-too' mode (my fav Fb bg is 'effortless' from this collection, it just seems to fit well with Fb for me as I use it. oya, link to smallish 99kb screenie - yep, Fb has nice pseudo-transparency effects and as I recall they don't need a compmgr or Xorg I'm sure there's a graphical pager somewhere for Fb but the roxpanel applet was handy ...

Here's new one called Blue Ice

.. I'd imagine fb-users can figure it out;

Fwiw, 3 styles for flux' - nothin' fancy but they seem to be a nice change. Ymmv, especially with different colors/values and etc (especially pseudo-trans) - one's fairly darkish but with colors, another is mostly blue and a more minimal takeoff on the spiff bb style. Probably could have tried a shadow on some fonts, but generally I find less may work at times. Lightly tested on pupflux 412 (Xvesa) and 421 (Xorg). lots more bytes in screenies than the actual files - but here's a small screenie or three

nice!
