wmii matrix theme

zowki · 2010-02-21 06:44:31

Due to popular request I will explain how I set up my matrix wmii desktop theme. I'm using wmii-hg from aur.

Why you should use this theme:
- Your friends will think you are a l33t h4x0r
- Green is easy on the eye when using your computer in a room with all the lights off
- If you are a fan of the matrix you will love this

Screenshot:

Programs used in screenshot:
urxvt (terminal)
thunar (file manager)
cmatrix (matrix code emulator)
weechat (irc client)
htop (process viewer)
archey (system information)
vim (editor)

Note that I didnt have a vim color scheme in this screenshot but If you cant live without syntax highlighting then I recommend using the elflord colorscheme.
Type this command in to vim or add it to your ~/.vimrc.

:colorscheme elflord

Yes, I'm not using any desktop environment. This means you have to choose your set of software manually (not for the faint hearted). If you want this in blue you have to make a lot of modifications. Change all references to color in the config files such as #00CC00 to your choice of color. You have to modify the terminus gtk theme as well.

SWEET!!! Thanks.
I want to my friends to think I'm a 1337 h4x0r as well (except I like blue better )
One question, I'm using GNOME. Does wmii go on top of Gnome? Because I notice in your "archey" it says:
"Desktop Environment: None Found"
What does that mean? You are not using a desktop environment?
Thanks. I'm in the process of removing of reformatting my laptop wit Arch Linux and I want it to look exactly like this ... except blue

If you like it blue, you may just try exchanging the G and B in the RGB color hex in all the colors from zowki's theme, e.g. #xxyyzz ==> #xxzzyy; in theory, this way you make a righteous blue version from the original green
To do that, try something like this:

sed -i 's/\(#[0-9a-f]\{2\}\)\([0-9a-f]\{2\}\)\([0-9a-f]\{2\}\)/\1\3\2/ig' <file>

@zowki, how crazy! Why not make a PKGBUILD/tarball out of it ? jk

So basically just X with wmii?
Will apps like firefox work then?

Firefox, and most other gui applications, do not depend on a desktop environment; just X and their gui toolkit.

BTW, tr00 l33t h4x0rs don't have any friends except their computers
Anyway, nice theme, but (imho) too "sharp" for eyes.

Wayyyy back my fluxbox days, there's a theme called trinity which is not this sharp yet very cool. It looks like this:

I bet you dont know where all the websites real hackers hang out are either? if you name them, I just might tell them that marshviperX sent you.

Thats easy: http://boards.4chan.org/g/

By the way theres a flaw in your terminal colorscheme, in weechat you set the bar background the same color as the bar foreground color therefore rendering any text in there unreadable. I managed to solve that issue in my Xdefaults because I have superior h4x0r 5k1llz.

In the top left terminal in your screenshot it seemed like the infected host was 127.0.0.1. What are you trying to prove by hacking your own computer?

Never the less, awesome screenshot. I'm glad some other users have similar tastes.

Oh, did not know
So zowki, just install X with wmii from a clean install of Arch?

To put it simply, follow everything in the beginner's guide up to and including installing fonts. Then install wmii along with other programs you use such as firefox.

If this screenshot is so painful to you guys then how did people survive using green monochrome monitors in the 70s/80s?

joaca_rj · 2010-02-23 03:33:00

Low resolutions...

@zowki: in the 70s/80s they used a much lower resolution... If I stare at your screenshot 2-3 minutes, my eyes start tearing. It's too high a contrast for some people.

2. Run the file color_changer.sh in your terminal

Where can i find that file???
In the Description from the ICONPACK i've read

~/.icon/.......

but i can not find this file there.

The icon package must have been updated. I downloaded the package and I found that it was renamed to script.sh. Run that instead. (First post updated to accommodate this change)
