Files likely in your backup or persistent store that need updating:
.xsession
.Xdefaults
.profile
Notes:
The desktop environment has been moved from tc-config into startx. This allows a microcore boot with base norestore, then manually (tce-load -i) the core elements together with your choice of window manager, wbar, flit, and/or watcher. Upon completion, still at the $ prompt, typing startx will bring up a working desktop environment. You can still exit to prompt, and run startx.
And with the new tce-setup, you can load all your PPR with a single command.
Just boot tinycore 'base norestore text Then when ready.
$ sudo tce-setup
$ startx
Same with microcore, except, of course, the text boot option is not needed
Notes: Hotkeys for Color Title Bars for flwm v1.12. ( Thanks to Mike L. for the many improvements to flwm! )

Ctrl Alt = grows the window (unshifted + key)
Ctrl Alt - shrinks the window
Ctrl Alt PgUp grows the window veritcally
Ctrl Alt PgDn shrinks the window vertically

flwm now optionally supports environment variable FLWM_TITLEBAR_COLOR to set color for window title bars.
To set use hex rgb, e.g, 20:5F:20 (Currently supports fltk gtk+ scheme.)
