This is my first real effort at using Openbox after quite a while in KDE.

blu3ness · 2008-03-11 03:59:58

hello kyle, care to share the name of the gtk theme? Thanks

Kyle Carter · 2008-03-11 04:15:53

Oh, sorry. It's in the screenshot I think, but it's the "blue" variation of the Mire v2 theme, which can be found at gnome-look. I've made some minor modifications to it (notably the scrollbars and the panel background), but it's mostly intact.

Nice wallpaper, link please.~

Time for a new one I think.

Clean:

Busy:

This is Evilwm with Conky. In the busy one I've got Firefox + Vimperator, stjerm with screen running ncmpc, and a program launcher I made.

Deep black magic. And two conky processes with different config files.

keks: You can find the wallpaper here. They're pictures from Iceland (I'm from there, living in France).

Here we go! I'm back to Gnome. After a looong time spent with tiling and minimalist WMs I'm enjoying how the apps behave nicely, *as if* they were designed for Gnome

So here is my ultra-WIMPy basic-stock-default Gnome (defaults are supposed to just work, isn't it?).

I agree with finferflu, As much as I like all the extra extras bells and whistles from minimal WMs, sometimes I just wish the window manager would work. and Gnome KDE offers just that. W/e, I'm still with awesome tho

I've never had a single problem with Openbox and things not "just working." The closest thing to a problem I experienced was trying to get Opera to look like all my other apps, since it's QT and not GTK. I eventually gave up on this but I used Firefox anyways so it wasn't a big loss. I suppose if the 30 seconds it takes to edit the .gtkrc file puts you off then Gnome or something might be nice. Hehe, not meaning this as a flame either, just stickin' up for my lovely minimalist WM.

Anyways, here's my desktop. I posted it a few pages back but I recently dropped my webhost so the link quit working. D'oh.

Conky, pypanel, Openbox. Oh, and this is actually running Fedora not Arch. The desktops look the same in both, it's just that until I can get wireless working in Arch it's not very useful.

What, the config files? No problem.

There are two; .conkyrc and .conkyrc_bottom. In my .xinitrc file I run

conky &
conky -c .conkyrc_bottom &

which give the top and bottom conky screens. Now:

This is ".conkyrc_bottom".. You'll probably want to change the "minimum_size" variable so it'll fit your screen, changing 1270 to your screen width - 10 should work. Also, the network interface monitored is wlan0, and depending on your WM you might want to set own_window_type to something other than override.

# Conky config
# Displays clock, cpu/ram use and up/down speed
# in lower left corner, and /home free space
# in lower right corner.

background yes

use_xft yes
xftfont Delicious:bold:size=9
xftalpha 0.5

mpd_host localhost
mpd_port 6600

update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0

own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_hints below,undecorated,sticky
own_window_transparent yes
double_buffer yes

minimum_size 1270 5
draw_shades no

#default_color black
default_color white

alignment bottom_left
gap_x 0
gap_y 5

no_buffers yes

cpu_avg_samples 2
net_avg_samples 2

override_utf8_locale yes
use_spacer yes

TEXT
 ${time %H:%M} | C:$cpu R:$memperc | D:${downspeed wlan0} U:${upspeed wlan0}${alignr}/home: $color${fs_used /home}/${fs_size /home}

This one's ".conkyrc", it shows the current status of mpd. It uses a script called conky_mpd.sh which you can find below. Again, you'll probably want to change the mininum_size variable to fit your screen.

# Conky config
# Shows status of mpd

background yes

use_xft yes
xftfont Delicious:bold:size=9
xftalpha 0.5

mpd_host localhost
mpd_port 6600

update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0

own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_hints below,undecorated,sticky
own_window_transparent yes
double_buffer yes

minimum_size 1270 5
draw_shades no

default_color black
alignment top_left
gap_x 0
gap_y 5

no_buffers yes
override_utf8_locale yes
use_spacer yes

TEXT
$alignc${execi 1 /home/gunni/.bin/conky_mpd.sh}

and here's the conky_mpd.sh script this file uses

#! /bin/bash

# Check if mpd is playing anything. If so,
# echo a string for conky.

gaur=`mpc`
mpd=`echo $gaur | grep "\[playing\]"`
mpd2=`echo $gaur | grep "#"`

if [ "$mpd2" ]; then
    name=`mpc | head -n 1`
    number=`mpc | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | sed "s|\[playing\] ||" | sed "s|\[paused\]  ||" | sed "s|[ ].*||"`
    if [ "$mpd" ]; then
        echo "$name :: $number"
    else
        echo "$name :: $number (Paused)"
    fi
else
    echo ""
fi

OK, so I was lying about the black magic stuff. I apologize for the hackish quality of these files, I never really thought anyone would see them and can't be arsed to change them.

I have been playing with dzen2 and dwm the last couple of days and this is my result.

Dwm 4.7 + dzen2/conky-cli/bash bar clean:

Dwm 4.7 with a open dzen2 menu on the left side and background changer on the right:

Really happy with this setup. Using gnome-terminal which tiles much better than urxvtc,

EDIT:
Switched to Terminal (xfce) which feels faster and tiles just as good.

Added icons to the dzen menus.

I have got fully working minimal WMs, in fact, I just got my awesome wm fully working yesterday as well. However, minimal wms still lack the convenience of complete windows environments, to name a few, auto mounting USB has to be manually modified through HAL rules, D-BUS session also needs to be started explicitly, laptop special keys also required special attention whereas in KDE and Gnome, they work out of box.

Don-DiZzLe · 2008-03-11 21:27:47

What do u mean DBUS has to started explicitly, isnt hal and dbus started if put in the daemons section of rc.conf?

And automounting issues are easily resolved if u use thunar for file managing, its excellent!
