Hello,
what a nice windowmanager this is!

I've been customizing it to my needs; right now I'm trying to add some 
extra information to the toolbar.
This article: 
groovy-skills.com/linux/2013/09/22/fluxbox-toolbar-mehrere-zeitzonen-und-dynamischen-text-anzeigen/
got me going, and I implemented a sort of cli-pager via workspacenames.

I thought maybe I could use the "strftimeFormat" option to add extra 
information to the clock.
I can manually add an arbitrary string to that, e.g.:
session.screen0.strftimeFormat: Michael Jackson - Thriller - %H:%M
but of course I'd like to script that.

I was hoping something like
fluxbox-remote "setresourcevalue session.screen0.strftimeFormat 
$(command) %H:%M"
or
fluxbox-remote "setresourcevalue strftimeFormat $(command) %H:%M"
would do the trick, but no luck.
and no helpful error messages either.

so what exactly CAN i do with fluxbox-remote?

greetings,
danter
