January 2011 Screenshots

mythus · 2011-01-07 19:15:43

Greetings,

Been a while since I posted a screen shot, so I figured I'll share my current setup. Right now I am using KDE (gasp I know lol, but I like switching environments and right now KDE is working good for me lol). I noticed that some people have been trying to emulate Unity with GNOME or whatever, and I noticed from their screenshots, it looked very similar to the old top bar and left bar look I used back during KDE 4.3. So, I figured I'll do that again, this time with a post apocalytpic steampunk like look, and instead of putting launcers in the left bar I'd put in a fancy tasks widget there, and I think it looks pretty nifty... at least to me.

I also made use of the WindowMenu plasmoid and set special rules on my normaly full screen aps (like dolphin, opera, etc) to always be maximised and remove the border. I am also using the favorites menu from kde-apps, and have it toggled to one mf my mouse's extra buttons, with the lancelot menu to my meta+spacebar, and of course krunner to alt F2.

Apps being used in the screenshots are Opera, Kopete, Amarok, and Speed Crunch.

And here are the screenshots!

On your bottom panel, is that 100% for volume or battery? If volume, could you share it with me? I got the volume script from sur, but it only shows a graphical bar and not the actual percentage. Thanks!

Nice, how do you colorize your status bar?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure he's using the statuscolors patch

Yep, using the status colors patch.

heleos the 100% is the battery meter.

You can change both s.data lines in volume.rb from this:

  s.data = "%s%s" % [ s.icons[s.mixer.state], s.mixer.icon ]

to this:

  s.data = "%s%s%s%" % [ s.icons[s.mixer.state], s.mixer.icon, s.mixer.get_volume.first ]

That's XFCE, right? Is there any way to have the app names displayed vertically in the taskbar? I don't mean rotating the text 90°, but keeping them horizontally oriented but arranged vertically.

yoyo, it's been a while since my last post...
here's my setup:

ob, conky, screen, ff + vimperator

that's the only thing you need!

:e

btw the background, screws, is a stereogram and
acts like a 3d pics when you stare at it evidently, mystical!

I beg to differ. I think i see vim. Just because its not got a gui does not mean its not an app.
And if you like firefox + vimporator have you tried luakit?

I thought that was the default behaviour to display the text horizontally (which is why I turned the text off as my panel is too narrow) but now looking into the settings I can't see how to have text at all. Sorry, not much help there.

But yes, Xfce and Compiz. They are Emerald window decorations.

well, dave, I thought vim was kind of obvious. that's why it isn't listed.
I think too many people use xmonad/wmii/awesome just so they can
run several editor windows open... nothing wrong with that but you
can split your windows in vim by default (a lot of ppl don't know this).
that was just a small thing I wanted to point out and I'm glad you noticed vim, there!

davetrotteruk wrote:

no, I haven't. I don't know lua at all and when ff + vimperator
works so well for me right out of the box that's just perfect for me.
i've tried jumanji though, but the version I tried didn't have hints enabled
so I thought I was too lazy to configure it to my needs. if it would've been
a few years ago I would have had the time and interest to do it, but nowadays not

Is the status bar on the top drawn by subtle? Maybe you can update your github repo? ;b I'm highly interested in all of your configs.

Openbox, tint2, conky, lxterminal, zenity.

I haven't really used jumanji but I am fairly sure you just grab the file from vimprobable2 and put it in a folder and it works. The documentation is on there website concerning this but they also say that they are in the process of implementing there own "follow hints".

Nope, the bar is completely dzen2. I'll update github soon, right now i'm still busy getting used to gentoo and its small but apparently many quirks
