This is a little tip on how to run two different instances of wbar simultaneously.* In this case one is horizontal on the bottom center of the screen and the other one is vertical on the left side of the screen.
1. Set up your two configuration files and save them in your ~/ directory.
2. If not already there, create a folder in your home directory called "scripts".
3. Create a document to hold an executable script in the "scripts" directory named "StartWbars.sh" (or something similar).
4. Copy and paste the following code into the document (StartWbars.sh) and save it.
#!/bin/sh
sleep 5s
wbar -config ./Horizontal.wbar -bpress -above-desk -balfa 50 nanim 5.0 -pos bottom -idist 8 -isize 32.0 -zoomf 1.1 &
sleep 3s
wbar -config ./Vertical.wbar2 -vbar -bpress -above-desk -balfa 60 nanim 5.0 -pos left -idist 8 -isize 32.0 -zoomf 1.1 &
5. Make it executable (chmod +x file, or in most modern Linux distros you can "right click" on the file and choose the option to make it executable).
6. In Fluxbox you can now add the following line to your "startup" file located in the ./.fluxbox folder.
## Start Wbars Script
~/scripts/StartWbars.sh
Alternatively, you can just copy and past the four lines above into the "startup" file beginning with "sleep 5s".
The reason to have a startup script is that some window managers require it (Xfce). It also it makes it easier to add it to a menu as an option.
The "-config" command is the key to making it work and telling Wbar which config files to use.
* This doesn't seem to work on the SlimPup version of Puppy linux at this time but it should work on almost everything else.

The Perfect Fluxbox Distro
I was just thinking about all the things I usually install after I install Fluxbox. I decided to start a list. I might make my own distro sometime. I did it once but it wasn't great. It seems most of the distros that are Fluxbox only, or that include Fluxbox, are very minimal and I am always dissatisfied with the functionality. I not necessarily looking for the lightest weight distro. I use Fluxbox because I like it not because it's so light (although that is a very nice feature). So here's the list (I'll add to it as I go):
I just realized that it is pretty much Crunchbang with Fluxbox installed.

Salix 13.37 Conky with Lua Bindings
This was posted on July 3, 2013.
Here is how I installed Conky with Lua on Salix 13.37. I basically followed the discussion in the forum (thanks LKJ) and did the same thing only with 32 bit not 64 bit.
1. Install from Gslapt the following:
audacious
scons 2.0.1-i486-1gv
imlib2 1.4.4-i4861tm (may already be installed)
lua 5.1.4-i486-5gv
2. Now go into Preferences (still in Gslapt) and add the following to the Excludes:
^conky.* (this will keep the Conky you install from Sourcery from upgrading or downgrading)
3. Install the following from Sourcery:
tolua++ 1.0.93-i486-1SBo
Conky 1.

How do you set up "the two configuration files"?
Don't they have to have different names?
Thanks....
