Neeewww oonneee:

XMonad darcs w/ most of rob's dzen config intact
conky
trayer w/ pidgin/mail-notification
thunar
glass icons
divinorum
VIM!

I can't think of anything else, really.  Just finished up a project at school and I've finally had time to hack on my xmonad darcs config.  I must say haskell makes zero sense to me.  I just ordered a book on it to see what the fuss is about.

Re: December 2007 Screenshots

It's not a screenshot, but I thought I'd share a simple volume script for dzen based on the battery script Theomachos pasted up earlier:

#!/bin/zsh
# vim:ft=zsh ts=4

myvol() {

    percentage=`amixer |grep -A 6 \'Front\' |awk {'print $5'} |grep -m 1 % |sed -e 's/[][%]//g'`
    ismute=`amixer |grep -A 6 \'Front\'|awk {'print $7'} |grep -m 1 "[on|off]" | sed -e 's/[][]//g'`

    if [[ $ismute == "off" ]]; then
        print -n "$(echo "0" | gdbar -fg '#aecf96' -bg gray40 -h 7 -w 60)"
    else
        print -n "$(echo $percentage |gdbar -fg '#aecf96' -bg gray40 -h 7 -w 60)"
    fi
}

while true; do
    print "^i(/home/buttons/.bitmaps/volume.xbm)$(myvol)"
    sleep 1
done

Obviously you'll have to change the path to the bitmap, and unless you have a strange soundcard as I do, you'll probably want 'Master' rather than 'Front' as well.

Then it's just script.sh | dzen2 (options) and away you go.  Really neat stuff, thanks Theomachos.

EDIT: Oops, misattributed

1. how do u make your fonts look so good??
2. any chance you might mail me your .fonts dir?

1. In your xorg.conf, add

Option   "DPI" "96 x 96"

under Section "Monitor"

And my font setting is:  anti-aliasing is on,  hinting is slight and sub-pixel hinting is RGB.
That works for me.

2. Because I have known you for so long, sure I will.

@Gotmor: What are you using for your cpu monitor there? Does it support multiple cpus (IE: duel core)? Your whole set up looks pretty stellar.

From his script archive:

cpubar | dzen2 -ta l -w 275

Except that he's released gcpubar now, which is niftier.  I think this is pretty close to (different font, but the colours are the same I think) what he's using in that shot:

gcpubar -fg '#aecf96' -bg gray40 -h 7 -w 75 | dzen2 -ta l -w 275 -bg '#000000' -fg 'grey70' -fn '-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859' -e '' &

Holy moly.. your tips pointed me into the right direction.. a little googling andsome .xdefaults editting later and my fonts have never looked this good.

I just wanted to say thanks.  You not only provide inspiration with your screenshots but always take the time to help out when im mixed up.  It means a lot.

Take care of yourself!!

Sure, there you go.

Put the cpu*(-graph) scripts to '/usr/local/bin' or change the paths in the awesome-monitor script.
I have created two versions of the cpu scripts... cpu1+2 return numbers (like in my screenshot) and cpu1+2-graph return a 'wannabe progressbar'. ^^

You can specify different themes for GTK and for XFCE? How's that?

I set the both themes to GT4_white-aqd first and the the Xfce Theme to Clearlooks.
There are some little differences if I set the Xfce-Theme to GT4_white_aqd or to Clearlooks. Look at the Menu (and Sonata - triangle next the cover). It seems that chooseing clearlooks as Xfce-theme only changes some minor things; not the colors e.g.

gtk2-theme = GT4_whitw-aqd
xfce-theme = Clearlooks

gtk2-theme = GT4_whitw-aqd
xfce-theme = GT4_white-aqd

Edit:
For QT I use 'Plastik' style and 'GT4_aqua' color-scheme.
