Screenshot of Fluxbox with a customized theme.
In Unix computing, Fluxbox is a window manager for the X Window System based on blackbox 0.61.1.
It aims to be lightweight and highly customizable, with only minimal support for graphical icons, and only basic interface style capabilities. The basic interface has only a task bar and a menu accessible by right-clicking on the desktop. Fluxbox also supports user created keyboard shortcuts.
In accordance with fluxbox's goal of simplicity, the main menu, the keyboard shortcuts and the basic configuration are all changed by editing text files. Fluxbox's themes are 100% compatible with those of blackbox. Colors, gradients, borders, and several other basic appearance attributes can be specified; recent versions of fluxbox support rounded corners and graphical elements. Fluxbox also has several features which blackbox lack, including tabbed windows , a feature familiar from PWM, and configurable titlebar.
Fluxbox is very small and can be stored in a 64M USB key. It is also used by the lightweight Debian distro Damn Small Linux.
