October 2008 Screenshots

haxit · 2008-09-30 23:29:11

Posting Guidelines

· DO NOT post full resolution screenshots! You can use the "mogrify" command (pacman -S imagemagick) to make a thumbnail of your screenshot:

$ cp screenie.png thumb-screenie.png
$ mogrify -resize 20% thumb-screenie.png

Twenty percent of the original size is great for 1024x768 screenies. You can then upload these images to your server and use the following code to show them on the forum:

[url=http://my.site.com/screenie.png][url]http://my.site.com/thumb-screenie.png[/url][/url]

This displays the thumbnail as a link to the screenie like this:

· Several websites also offer free image hosting, of these ImageShack is very popular and does a neat auto thumbnail:

Use the "Thumbnail for forums" link code that is supplied by ImageShack to post your thumbnail link.

· Once the new month begins please do not post new screenies in the old threads.

· If the screenshot has questionable material that might not be safe to view while at work or in a school setting, please post only a link and not a thumbnail, along with a mention of "Not Safe for Work". Posts that do not adhere to this are subject to deletion without notice at any time.

· Please try to include any links to your wallpaper or configs that you may have and/or the names of your icon theme, running apps, DE, etc. in the same post to reduce unnecessary clutter later.

Sorry about that. I was taking in consideration the European population on the site.
Plus I fixed one of the images, but the second seems to be broken.

There are so many minimalist WM users. Why is that? I don't see many E17, KDE, Gnome and XFCE screenshots compared to Openbox, Fluxbox and all the other WM screenshots.
I'll post my screenshot as soon as I install arch

Why is that? Simple - Openbox is the best.

You'd need a video thread to show off what E17 does. Static shots never come close to seeing the beauty of it.

Not much has changed. I just fiddled with the conky a little bit and added xcompmgr for some slight shadows:

Arch64 with Openbox, running urxvt, conky, tint2 and pcmanfm

That's Openbox? How did you get that nice taskbar at the bottom? Haven't been able to do that with Fluxbox.

It would be great, if I can have your conky config.

It's the dock, currently housing bbdock, docker, bbpager and lal (the clock) in that order. Flux should be dock-aware too. My ~/.xinitrc and other configs can be found here: http://cinderwick.ca/files/configs

Sure,

It's largely based on Sen's downloadable config from the conky config thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39906&p=5 (last post of the page)
I'd suggest you use that as a starting point and adjust it to your needs.

I just chucked it all into one single .concyrc and added some things.

Here's my concyrc:

# Use Xft?
use_xft yes
xftfont cure:size=6

# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1

# This is the number of times Conky will update before quitting.
# Set to zero to run forever.
total_run_times 0

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window  yes
own_window_transparent yes
#own_window_type widget
own_window_type desktop
own_window_hints undecorate,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager 

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 280 5

maximum_width 140

# Draw shades?
draw_shades no

# Draw outlines?
draw_outline no

# Draw borders around text
draw_borders no

# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 0

# border margins
border_margin 5

# border width
border_width 1

# Default colors and also border colors
default_color 303030
#default_shade_color white
#default_outline_color black
own_window_colour 262524

# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right

# Gap between borders of screen and text
# same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x 20
gap_y 10

# Subtract file system buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes

# set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
uppercase no

# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2

# number of net samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
net_avg_samples 2

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale yes

# Add spaces to keep things from moving about?  This only affects certain objects.
use_spacer yes

Care to share the panel config? Guessing it's PyPanel, and btw, the angelina gtk-theme is awesome. And is that pidgin running as IM-client?

What options do you use to start xcompmgr [ is it from AUR, the -git version ? ] ? I can't get real transparency to get to work..

Thanks. Sure, that's pypanel. Yep, that's pidgin. You can get the custom status icons I made here: http://trapd00r.deviantart.com/art/Pidg … s-98932987 .
