Re: January 2008 Screenshots

it didn't take me long at all to set up my gmail account with mutt.  i followed the instructions in the archwiki page about mutt, and all went smoothly.

Re: January 2008 Screenshots

Wow, I didn't imagine my screenshot could cause so many reactions

Anyway, yes, Screen is great if you make extensive use of CLI apps. It's more or less like a "window manager" for the terminal. As you can see I have organised my own "workspaces", and have all apps open automatically at startup, so I have, for example a Vim server on screen 2, elinks on screen 3 and w3m, in case I need to see images, on screen 6, and so on.
The best CLI mail client I have found is Alpine, I highly recommend it, it's in AUR.

And here is my .Xdefaults file, even though there is no much to see there, since I use gnome-settings-daemon:

Xft*dpi:96
Xft*antialias:true
Xft*hinting:full
ratmen.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

In case you're intrested, my terminal is gnome-terminal (not really minimalistic, huh?) and the font is Liberation Mono.
Enjoy!

Re: January 2008 Screenshots

I'd like to get an email client that can use gmail setup. mutt looks a bit of work to get going, so im waiting until I have a few hours to devote to that.

No problem, I'll help you set up Mutt.

How did you learn about the Xft* entries? Are they documented somewhere?

Re: January 2008 Screenshots

@ upsidaisium
I think with this configuration I can afford a gnome-terminal, it just looks better and it has all the features I need

@ Agent69
To be honest I can't really remember, it was a long time ago. I think I got  that Xft stuff from this forum somewhere.

Screenshot - Possibly NSFW

Just playing around with shades of grey. But I need to learn how to alter the colors of the GTK (which FF uses) to match.

Apps: Twm; Xterm; Bash; Conky; Firefox

Re: January 2008 Screenshots

Re: January 2008 Screenshots

Playing with pekwm

+ pekwm
+ sonata
+ urxvt
+ pypanel
+ visibility

Just a question I'll throw out there. Does anyone know if it's possible to click the far right/left side of the screen in Openbox to switch desktops? You can do this is pekwm, and it is a very convenient feature.
