It's been essentially the same for ages: openbox-git + tint2-svn, humanity-icon-theme, XFCE's Terminal (using Terminus font), and Tahoma 8 for GTK+.

Why openbox-git and not the stable openbox? Is there some new feature worth the effort?

Is your terminal only transparent because you're looking at it in the Gnome3 expose thing (not sure the proper name for it )
Mine will show as transparent in that but unless it's maximized I can't use it transparent, really been bugging me. I saw a bug about it from a while ago, but am hoping there's a way to fix that now.

Yes, it is only transparent in the expose thing (I like that term). I haven't been able to remove the background shadow from the window in normal viewing mode. it bugs me too, but I like Gnome 3 so much that I've accepted it. It'll get fixed at some point in the future, I am sure.

Sorry to get your hopes up :-P

Still a few little bit and bobs to fix and finish, but my setup is quick and simple.
Hope you enjoy.

P.S. Any tips whole-heartedly received!

can you share the wallpaper?

I use it...just cause? Nearly all of the software I directly use is a git/hg/svn build unless up pops a major issue or incompleteness that breaks it (which has happened before)... (This post for example was made using Chromium snapshot build "15.0.838.0 (Developer Build 94544 Linux) custom".)
It actually doesn't get updated all that often: @http://git.icculus.org/?p=dana/openbox.git;a=summary
Besides, there's the "exciting" factor to snapshot builds: "What bleeding edge change did last night's build add that is noticeable?" Makes me look forward to updating, lol.

I did go overboard once with snapshot build packages and had to scale back. With the exception of nightly kernel26-drm-radeon-testing and all [radeon] graphics driver packages, core system packages are either stable or testing.

I LOVE that Breaking Bad wallpaper! Is it on the show's site?

Paul-S · 2011-07-30 20:56:06

DustinCasler it was from Reddit in the wallpaper section.

Thanks Paul. I'm on Reddit quite a bit but somehow have missed the wallpaper subreddit. I'll go look now.

It is bmpanel2. Theme you can find at box-look.org.

Openbox + Tint2 + wbar. Enabled tiling windows using pytyle2 from the aur. TechniX window theme from box-look and TechniX gtk theme from gnome-look. No conky... Cuz I just don't care about it... Awoken icon theme also from the aur... Tint2 is 99% the default config. I just made it stretch across the entire screen, changed the clock and got rid of the rounded borders on the panel background.

By the way, I really like pytyle2. I've used both pure tiling window managers like awesome and regular ones like openbox but now I have the best of both worlds

Openbox + Tint2 + Conky.

Fairly basic idea, but I think it's overall rather pleasing to the eyes. I may plan to add some more conky scripts on the right side of the screen to make it feel a bit less empty.

triplesquarednine · 2011-08-01 06:03:59

my new install. arch64 + gnome3 + compiz 0.9.5 (git, scott moreau build scripts) + cairo-dock 2.4.x + kernel26-ck + ulatencyd.

1st shot - nautilus and terminal ... the gtk3 theme is my own (should probably put it on gnome-look but i never really finished it) ... customized .bashrc ~ lots of color coding (gcc, sh, etc), system info and archey3 as a greeter

2nd shot - clean desktop. 1 dock, an analog clock on the wall and a trash.

3rd screenshot - compiz / expo plugin ... 4 workspaces. using the g'mic plugin in gimp, i added a small black frame to my wallpaper. then disabled 'reflections', distance between workspaces = zero and disabled lighting/highlighting in expo.

i add frames to all desktop wallpaper in order to achieve this effect. personally, i think it looks much more professional ~ being as when you drag applications from workspace to workspace, they actually appear on top, rather than underneath the 'black separators' in expo. ~ as they are just an illusion on my desktop

i'm pretty happy with this desktop so far, very simple and fast.

Sure, its just conky piped to dzen2
here you go http://ompldr.org/vOXBvMw and here is the conky-dzen2 startup script http://ompldr.org/iOXBvNA

Have you found kernel26-ck + ulatencyd to be more responsive than kernel26-ck + bfs?

i'm using bfs / bfq with ulatencyd ...

(3:503)$ cat /proc/cgroups
#subsys_name    hierarchy    num_cgroups    enabled
cpuset    3    1    1
ns    0    1    1
memory    1    7    1
devices    0    1    1
freezer    0    1    1
net_cls    0    1    1
blkio    2    37    1
*bfqio*    0    1    1

io scheduler

cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline cfq [bfq]

forget howto check the cpu scheduler from the commandline, off hand, but i'm using it. i can quickly look and see;

/proc/sys/kernel/iso_cpu
/proc/sys/kernel/rr_interval

obviously, these 2 files are BFS only and aren't found here unless BFS is being used.

Ulatencyd works fine with bfq / bfs ... you don't have to pick one over the other. I also am using 'rtirq' on this machine. more on that, over here;

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123403

it used to be a script only usable for RT users, but you can use it in 2.6.39+ ... since i do a lot of audio stuff, it's handy, i basically use this one kernel for everything

Now I'm confused: BFS doesn't support cgroups as far as I'm aware, so how is running ulatencyd of benefit? I get the feeling I'm missing something here!

I'm using jack2+libffado with an external firewire soundcard on my desktop system (I was relieved to discover gnome-settings-daemon-nopulse), hence my curiosity. I sometimes hook the firewire card up to my less capable htpc downstairs and it has problems with jack2+libffado. kernel26-ck didn't help, so I'm looking around for options; your 'rtirq' info looks encouraging - thanks!

ya, at one point BFS didn't support cgroups at all... that being said, cgroups still worked ~ just without the CPU bit. however, when i view my cgroups mount it is showing CPU related stuff in action, so it would seem that now it does work...? but regardless, the MEM and IO cgroups would still work even if BFS itself doesn't, so it is of benefit and i use it. obviously, i also use sched_iso on jackd as well.

as for 'rtirq' ~ it will probably be of help to you, as you can prioritize your firewire with it. as my other post suggests, since the merging of 'forced interrupt thread handlers' from RT into mainline, passing 'threadirqs' and using rtirq should give you some of the benefits that you would normally use RT for, it should reduce xruns.

I am using usb2.0 soundcard and i don't really get xruns on 2.6.39-ck. it works well.

rufflove · 2011-08-05 02:54:08

The cpu related entries are present under /sys/fs/cgroup for me too, but I'm not convinced:

[nat@leonard ~]$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler; ulatency tree
noop deadline [cfq] bfq 
error: tree does not exist

I'm out of my depth when it comes to cgroups.. You tell me! Anyhow, I have rtirq up and running (just added 'firewire' to RTIRQ_NAME_LIST). Overruns seem to occur arbitrarily on my htpc, so I'll need to spend some time with it to see if there is an improvement.. Cheers again.
