Re: sound volume control for use in fluxbox?

Hi Andrey,

I'm using "volumeicon" and "cbatticon" for this exact purpose (yep, I'm still using bare fluxbox on my main workstation).

Btw, the third icon in my tray comes from "fbxkb", it indicates keyboard layout and allows to switch one on click. I've also disabled the built-in window switcher in fluxbox (commented corresponding lines in .fluxbox/keys) and replaced it with "alttab" (https://sagb.github.io/alttab)

> The only Lumina utility I sometimes used is for taking screenshots. What X program would you recommend for this purpose?
I'm using scrot + maim, here's a part of my .fluxbox/keys config:
# PrintScreen
None Print :ExecCommand scrot
Control Print :ExecCommand maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
Shift Print :ExecCommand maim -i (xdotool getactivewindow) | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png

I didn't have to compile anything, all these tools are available in Debian packages with the same names. I guess they should be available in your distro too.
