Fluxbox

Fluxbox is a very light window manager, highly customizable (look, shortcuts, etc).

Mod4    m       :ExecCommand amixer sset Master toggle
Mod4    o       :ExecCommand amixer sset Master 1+
Mod4    i       :ExecCommand amixer sset Master 1-
Mod4    Shift   o       :ExecCommand amixer sset PCM 1+
Mod4    Shift   i       :ExecCommand amixer sset PCM 1-
Mod4    p       :ExecCommand xmms -t

Instead of shading the window.

For that, you have to modify the source code of fluxbox. Of course, it is easier if you use a source distribut such as Gentoo (explained here).

But you just have to modify one line in Window.cc :

Window.cc:4084
-  frame().setOnClickTitlebar(shade_cmd, 1, true); // doubleclick with button 1
+  frame().setOnClickTitlebar(maximize_cmd, 1, true); // doubleclick with button 1

Instead of only switching between visible windows (not minimized).

One more time, you have to modify the source code, this time there are two lines :

FocusControl.cc:71
-  (opts & FocusControl::CYCLESKIPSHADED) != 0 && win->isShaded() || 
-  win->isFocusHidden()
+  (opts & FocusControl::CYCLESKIPSHADED) != 0 && win->isShaded() //|| 
+ //win->isFocusHidden()

FocusControl.cc:122
-  if (fbwin && !fbwin->isIconic() &&
+  if (fbwin && /*!fbwin->isIconic() &&*/

I've written to make the modifications for the two previous tips automatic. To apply the patch, copy it in the parent of the src folder, and enter :

patch -p0 < fluxbox.maximize.patch

The patch :
