How to change what buttons are on the windows' titlebar

By default Fluxbox has four buttons on the titlebar, one on the left side (Stick) and three on the right side (Minimize, Maximize, Close)

You can change them by editing ~/.fluxbox/init Find the following lines:

session.titlebar.left: Stick
session.titlebar.right: Minimize Maximize Close

Then just change those. Possible buttons are (in Fluxbox 0.9.14):

MenuIcon
    A button to show either the program's icon or default menu icon in theme
    Pops up the window menu when clicked (same as right clicking the titlebar)

Stick
    Toggles whether window sticks or not, meaning it is visible on all workspaces

Shade
    Shades the window, only the titlebar will be left visible

Minimize
    Self explanatory

Maximize
    This too ...

Close
    ... and this

After editing, save the file and from fluxbox menu choose Config -> Reconfigure or Reload config or Restart'
