Fluxbox is supplied with lots of native options such as tabbing, grouping, a long list of keycommands, Chainable Keygrabber, fully editable menu and much, much more. You might want to dive into it and learn more about fluxbox's features.

What should I do?

The main-support including a FAQ and many tips was outsourced to the fluxbox-wiki, which should be the first site to visit if you face problems setting up fluxbox correctly.

What can it look like?

To get an impression of what many fluxbox desktops look like and what those applications are you can see, check out the screenshots-page. Although fluxbox is "only" a windowmanager, there are typical applications that are frequently used amongst fluxbox users.

How can I help?
