Details in my signature.
I really like your setup; the colors chosen look nice on the dark background.
I'm not much of a tweaker, nor a connoisseur of the tiling stuff but I think you made me want to try dwm.
I would like to know, if you're willing to reveal your secrets:
- how did you made Envy Code R look that sharp and clear at that size? Subpixel rendering, hinting and no antialiasing? Because I tried to make it look nice but it doesn't look like yours.
- I can see those sys info icons in your panel, but I don't know how much freedom they give in terms of scripting; does conky play nice with dwm as fallback?
- I often see the command line looking like that (me likes) but I'm too shy to ask how it's done, so between me and you, how can I get that?
Thank you.

Thanks, I stole the colors (and a lot of other configs) from jasonwryan's bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/jasonwryan/eeepc/overview

I didn't do any modifications in font settings, have you tried it with defaults?

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question (I'm not english). Sys info is conky piped into dzen2, which can display xbm icons, over standard dwm bar. I do this by starting dzen2 after dwm, so it can cover dwm bar. Conky config is in my github.

Bash prompt is again from jasonwryan. You can find basic information on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
If you want to know something else, just ask.

How can you actually read anything? People say I use a small font, but that's just unreadable..?

I think those are window previews

shameless crosspost from subtle thread:

T13one · 2011-04-25 17:34:43

I hardly ever post in these threads, but I've done a lot of WM/DE hopping, and I feel like where I'm at now might be good enough for this thread...

Compiz Standalone

Clean:

Dirty:

Why I use Compiz:

Ranger > Rox

I'm not too crazy about my current GTK and icon theme.
GTK theme is currently moka-theme from AUR. I like the Emerald theme that comes with it, but the GTK theme is meh..
The Icon theme is "Gnome Carbonite" from gnome-colors-icon-theme-extras in the AUR.

I'm looking for something a bit darker and unified. Maybe someone here can see what I'm going for and recommend something?

You can use colorcoke.
See the wiki for some examples.

This looks pretty cool, thanks.

It's possible. You would be best off if you actually rotate the hue values around the color wheel relative to any baseline shift to the monotones.
It gets complicated in that when we do color wheel work it's HSB primarily, while the final work is all in L*a*b.
Unfortunately I don't know of any good linux tools for color palette creation (i.e. setting base colors and locking them to a value that you can then rotate, for instance). This is one of the reasons I ended up doing initial work in OS X.

I see.. thanks for the explanation. Not sure I understand it all, but it sounds like I wouldn't really have the tools to do it even if I did understand it, so I'll just leave it as is

Dirty
http://ompldr.org/tODVvYw
Still Openbox
Openbox Theme: Mire v2 Blue
GTK Theme: Equinox Evolution Dusk
Icon Theme: Aw0ken Dark
Wallpaper: Live.Life.Love by ~hornsholdmyhalo
Hope you like.
Cheers

I love it, what font are you using on conky?

I don't believe I'll need any change soon: dwm is like a lump of modeling clay that takes the exact shape you give it. Great experience, indeed.

Beautiful, makes me wish i had the faintest idea how dwm works

Thank you. That was pretty much my way of thinking about the beast until I realized it was actually the beauty under cover.

Agreed. I found the idea more intimidating than the code itself.

stlarch · 2011-04-26 06:41:13

Looks like maybe faenza icons and equinox theme?

Are you using DockbarX in XFCE? Does it work well? I am also thinking about switching to XFCE, as i don't like GNOME 3, but this panel is unbeatable
