maybe it'll work this time.
edit. well, I couldn't remember how to make the thumbnail open the big picture. so you can't see much of the detail
but I've got 2 Conky's, one running a standard status bar. the other showing the output of my /var/log/messages.log
2 gnome-terminals (one for each screen)
XMMS
Pidgin
GIMV
all with Fluxbox WM.
Any chance of getting a link to a copy of that excellent background please?

It's one that I cropped up in Gimp. I'll go ahead and post it for you.

and here is the orginal:

Took the plunge and decided to try a tiling WM. Went with awesome and managed to get a basic setup going:

Couple of questions about it though:

1. How do I get rid of icons in the status bar? you cant see it from these screens but when I start firefox, up in the status bar there is that little earth bomb icon. how do I get rid of it?

2. How do you guys go about changing your wallpaper from within awesome? script? nitrogen? set it from the terminal?

3. What do some of you use for a tray app for keeping tabs on pidgin and the like?

I personally love feh. Check out this ubuntu thread (Awesome 2.1) for a good introduction including using feh. And make sure to read the awesome wiki FAQ.

2. I use nitrogen.

3. I use the built-in systray from awesome3-git. Although it doesn't work very well... I can't close apps like sonata or pidgin without it closing the program. I used to use stalonetray, but it seems like it's covered by my 2nd awesome bar now.

I was wondering along the lines of having something like this key setting that came in the default .awesomerc

    key
    {
        modkey = {"Mod4"}
        key = "F2"
        command = "spawn"
        arg = "find /usr/bin -type f -executable ! -empty | awesome-menu -e 'exec ' Execute:"
    }

I hit Mod4 + F2 and across the top of the screen all of my /usr/bin programs appear. I was wondering if anyone has anything similar for feh?

Edit: Playing around not really understanding what I'm doing but came up with this:

    key
    {
        modkey = {"Mod4", "Control"}
        key = "w"
        command = "spawn"
        arg = "find /home/semperfiguy/.wallpaper -type f | awesome-menu -e 'feh --bg-scale ' 'Set Wallpaper:'"
    }

How do I keep find from displaying the fullpath of my wallpapers (if thats possible), and how do I have find return them in aphebetical order ( again if possible )

You could always adjust that very line to do something similar. Like

key
{
        modkey = {"Mod4"}
        key = "F11"
        command = "spawn"
        arg = "find /path/to/wallpapers | awesome-menu -e 'feh --bg-scale ' Wallpaper: "
}

key
{
        modkey = {"Mod4"}
        key = "F12"
        command = "spawn"
        arg = "find /path/to/wallpapers | awesome-menu -e 'feh --bg-tile ' Wallpaper:"
}

Just an example, but it's a very simple modification of that very code. One shortcut selects a wallpaper to scale, one selects a wallpaper to tile; both are displayed just as the execute menu.. You could adjust it as you see fit really.

I am rather confused why you would want to run feh from the panel. I have commented the following in ~/.xinitrc (simplified).

#!/bin/sh
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
\. ~/.fehbg &
exec awesome

That way feh applies the wallpaper when you run X. It runs ~/.fehbg, which feh rewrites every time you change your wallpaper from the command line or from the right click menu when viewing an image. I hope that helps.

1. Add show_icons = false to the tasklist definition in the config. Mine looks like:

tasklist mytasklist
{
  show_icons = false
  #mouse bindings follow...
}

semperfiguy, that wallpaper is awesome (lol). Do you have a link to the original?

Thanks.

The reason I want it is just an easy way of changing the wallpaper without switching over to a terminal, 'ls'ing my .wallpaper directory to see what the names are, then feh --bg-scale each time I want to change a wallpaper. I have that line in my awesome.sh start script already.

Pnevma: Here is the post that I got the wallpaper from: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 56#p378856

Here is my newest ArchLinux screenshot. Enjoy

ArchLinux Core
OpenBox 3.4.7.2
Conky 1.5.1
Ncmpc 0.11.1
Weechat-curses 0.2.6
CenterIm 4.22.5-dirty
Root-tail 1.2.2
Background: CrossCode http://www.imjtk.com/images/CrossCode.jpg

Hmm I just thought about it. I wonder how hard it would be to add a nice transparent Arch symbol in the middle? I have tried to add one of the Arch "A's" out there but could not figure out how to make it transparent. Any 'professional' gimp users out there can give me a link to a howto or something?

Thanks
