Dirty: Clockwise from top left: evince 2.32.0, gmrun, finch, gedit 2.30.4 (with latex-plugin) and g-zenburn colortheme/syntax highlighting, ncmpcpp in embedded terminal within gedit, zotero standalone 3.0b2.1.

Oh, btw -- my University has blocked access to ompldr.org (among a range of other hosts), so I cant really see many of you guys' screenshots :-(
Just don't get offended by me not commenting on them -- I don't like posting in a thread without showing proper courtesy :-)

Hi,
I'm trying to replicate your conky configuration, but I'm not able to use the 'Birth of a hero' font.
I download it from DevianArt but I don't know where unzip it and how to modify the .conkyrc on the line:

xftfont [NAME_OF_THE_FONT]:size=180

Thank you very much and congrats for your desktop. I really like it!

Thunar, Tint2, Faenza icons, and the grandaddy of all Openbox themes, Dyne. Simple, elegant, ready to do work. I'm kind of pleased with how it turned out.

This install originally started as Archbang, as you might be able to tell from the conky. Haven't bothered to change that yet =)

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

It's still Archbang if you installed it wink. Don't kid yourself.

Are you using xcompmgr?

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

I think it would be kidding myself more to think of it as not Arch somehow tongue

I am using xcompmgr, because Dyne kind of necessitates shadows imo. Surprisingly, no noticable performance difference with it running, maybe a few more mb of ram, but that's about it. True transparency in urxvt is nice too.

Well, unless you have bad drivers, everything should be rendered through your graphics card with compositing, so it shouldn't affect that much. I also read somewhere that theoretically you'd actually save CPU-time using compositing, since most of the rendering should move to the GPU instead of the CPU. I don't know whether that's actually the case though (and yeah, citation needed etc.).

It looks quite nice with xcompmgr, I was just wondering whether I was imagining things since I did not see it smile.

Do you mean the info on the left side of the screenshot which shows /var/log/messages.log? That is just a cat off a file I have in a tempfs which is updated by inotify.

If you want the conky on the right, ill post that when I get home (well, ill post whatever you want, but the stuff on the left is mostly tail tongue )

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Decided to redo the Arch menu icon in fbpanel and changed the wallpaper- everything fits alot better now. Also going to post a pic of screen 1 for reference.

**EDIT** Redid the window borders to be flat and match my theme, and I changed the bottom grab portion of the window border to be blue on active windows (but not on inactive).

Screen 1:

Screen 2:
Clean: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/70 … x1080.png/

Dirty: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/82 … x1080.png/

Everything is mostly the same as my above post..

That's very interesting, I hadn't considered that that may be the case.
