New themes hacked together because I was bored.

Ah!  Please share both!  Looks quite nice.

It needs more work. I'll post it here when I'm done.

Ok, so I ditched the theme and gave up. I just couldn't get the contrasts between colors working how I'd like them - I had the idea of using the pixmap engine to add some background images, but it was too much work and I'm lazy.

Here is the theme as it was in the screenshot:

This is my Arch setup. It's openbox with pypanel. Running the whole thing on my Acer 5021 WLMI laptop.

I am in love

Re: November 2007 Screenshots

I'm using Arch exclusively on my desktop computer at home for over a year now. I was constantly refining this setup to the point, that I no longer have ideas for improvement (but I'm sure I'll find some). My window manager of choice is Openbox. It's lightweight, unobtrusive and has all the configuration options I need: great key binding configurability, global and per application window behavior customization.

I use six desktops, each has a key bound to it on numpad for fast switching. Only one fixed application per dekstop, except for desktop "O", which stands for "other".

There's much more to it not covered here. I use lots of keybindings, per application window customizations and few shell scripts for automatisation. I really like this setup. :-)

http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2240 … foxbd1.png

Some usual info:
Openbox theme: Onyx
GTK theme: Raleigh
Icons: Tango

What is this "panel"? seems to have all the neccessary stuff included

Hmm.  Where did you get that clock script and what terminal are you using?  May I see your .Xdefaults?

Looks like urxvt and the clock script is actually ncmpc, a client for mpd (music player).
