Re: toolbar placement

Hiho.

In fluxbox-keys(5) I found the following:
SetResourceValue resourcename resourcevalue | SetResourceValueDialog

    SetResourceValue resourcename resourcevalue | SetResourceValueDialog
       Sets a fluxbox resource value, which are normally stored in the
       init file. See fluxbox(1) for more details on available
       resources and allowed values.

If I read fluxbox-remote(1) correctly, one should give it a try with
setting the resource session.screen0.toolbar.placement: TopCenter

But my try with `fluxbox-remote setResourceValue
session.screen0.toolbar.placement TopCenter` failed. Nothing happens. So
this might be one of the disabled commands, I guess?

So I would go with Michael Craft's advise: use something like
sed -i 's/toolbar\.placement:[[:space:]]*BottomCenter/toolbar.placement:
TopCenter/' $HOME/.fluxbox/init

and then
killall -USR1 fluxbox
or
fluxbox-remote Reconfigure

A nice day everyone,
JOKer
