Fluxbox is a lot more user friendly for the less experienced linux user I must admit, but jwm does work better for me.

I want to use this theme (as an example) http://antix.freeforums.org/jwm-theme-f … t3336.html

I've downloaded and extracted the file and im trying to run it via terminal, I keep getting a return of:

Bash: [..file location]..: permission denied.

Any tips please?

Pidsley, working awsome using JWM, i'm just researching how to make it a bit more... aesthetically pleasing!

Thanks very much for your time.

Not hot at all! I bet its not had ten hours continuous use since it was bought about 4 years ago - don't quote me on the date!

I'm just researching how to install these other window managers pidsley suggested

I must add when this netbook was bought new, it came with an OS which was like a childs toy, it was preloaded with software and it purely basic functions, i think it was Linpus Lite, unsure though.

I've pretty much resigned to the fact this netbook isn't going to be at all useful =[ .. I do hate seeing technology go to waste.

The only things installed (above the standard preloaded stuff) was Google Chrome and Libre office.

However, when the OS first loaded there were a few options to install items, the only one I recall is java.

The model is Acer Aspire One ZG5

#11 Help & Support (Stable) » Cant put finger on it » 2012-08-15 23:07:45

Hello everyone,

Recently installed crunchbang on my netbook, for the majority it seems to be going well.

Just little issues like i cant minimize /maximize/ drag windows, and sometimes my mouse clicks don't register, but keyboard shortcuts do.

Or the task bar and icons are unresponsive. Earlier my cursor was moving but no clicks were registering but i was merrily navigating with ease with keyboard shortcuts.

I've tried two mouse and the issue persists.

If i restart openbox things work well for a few minutes, then back to the above issues.

Appreciate some guidance.

Thanks
