I'm running the Fluxbox edition of Salix OS. How do I adjust my desktop so that the on-screen text and menu's (everything) appear larger and stay that way permanently even after rebooting the pc?

Thank you

Try these in a terminal:

Code: Select all

xfontsel

Code: Select all

man xfontsel

Have you considered openbox? Its very similar to fluxbox and has a configuration app, obconf that allows font selection among other configs.

Where is the style/theme that you are using?

Code: Select all

$ mousepad `sed -n /styleFile/p .fluxbox/init | cut -f 2`
Edit the following entries in your style:

Code: Select all

### (DEFAULT) set ALL fonts and colors###
*textColor: #4EE8E8
*Font: dejavusans-11
More specific, if you wish:

Code: Select all

menu.frame.font:			sans-9:bold
menu.title.font:			sans-10:bold
toolbar.clock.font:			sans-9:bold
toolbar.workspace.font:			tahoma-10:bold
toolbar.iconbar.focused.font:		sans-8:bold
toolbar.iconbar.unfocused.font:		sans-8
window.font:				sans-8
