Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

before I post, I'll fess up: this is Crunchbang Linux, not Arch w/ Openbox

I DO have an arch box, but it's not got any X server.

it's all fairly straightforward, but if anyone wants to know anything, just ask.

Might fiddle later.

Clean:

apps = bmpanel (theme darkblack18), gkrellm (theme CoplandOS);
gtk theme = BlackGarden;

Rather busy:

apps += Mitter, Thunar, XChat, aMSN;

It's not pypanel but bmpanel with arch theme. And for the term, it's not embed in desktop it's just a simple transparent urxvt terminal.

To get the same as my panel, you have to install bmpanel and bmpanel-themes wich is on AUR.

So,

pacman -Sy bmpanel

And the bmpanel-themes package is here

If I'm honest it could probably do with tidying up, and I have a few things I'd like to do, but I don't want to clutter that conky, and I don't really want more than one! xD

here's the conkyrc as of current:

xftfont Sans:size=8
xftalpha 0.9
update_interval 1.0

The if_existing on the last block is really really useful, it saves the wifi from cluttering it up, and gives me the details I need. I only need the full details if using the Wifi, I just like the basics when using eth0

EDIT: I just realised that's the current version, which I did today, my bad.

I'll get the old one up when I can xD

Alright, I finally broke down and set up my openbox, which I admit is my favorite now.
I've always been torn between kde and openbox, but with a nicely configured openbox, I really see no need for kde
Most all of my config was grabbed from previous posts, and mix matched into this; thanks guys

anyway, here are all my config files for openbox:
http://lordanubis.netau.net/files/openbox/

And here is the awesome mouse cursor I like to use with it:
http://lordanubis.netau.net/files/openb … CXP.tar.gz

covered: uncovered:

for the cronjob that uses feh to update my wallpaper every minute
crontab -e
*/1 * * * *DISPLAY=:0.0 /home/anubis/scripts/wallpaper.sh

unfortunately the server i had all my wallpapers on went down, so i'll have to upload them all again sometime

also, some others I took...

OpenBox Theme: Arch.blue (found at www.box-look.org), modified by me:
(changed the window border color to match the "archlinux" text on page instead of the darker bar (otherwise windows were hard to discern on dark backgrounds). Accents on inactive windows are now grey instead of cyan, and window buttons are highlighted when you hover the mouse over them.

Just did a complete system rebuild and didn't feel like screwing with my Awesome configs to get them working with 3.2, so I'm temporarily switching back to OpenBox. Still like my minimalism though.

Jay

I made the default font throughout my system for most things "Droid" fonts, from Android. I hadn't actually clicked that it had got Conky too, but conky was set for "Sans", so changing the default sans font changed that too xD Found a link for you:

http://blog.zelut.org/2009/03/13/instal … rch-linux/

Droid fonts are great, if I'm honest. There's a reason why I set them as the default on my system.

That *should* be the font that conky is using.

Arch Linux
