edit: this is ncmpcpp btw

I have to pay more attention to the boards. I wasn't even aware that that ncmpc++ existed. (My Arch installation is so stable, I haven't had reason to stop by lately.)

And why are you posting Windows shots here? This section is provided to help Arch users get their set up looking good.
It's unix related, and no different than when Archers post screenshots on the Ubuntu forums.
Besides, where does it say in your linked topic that this is only for Arch Linux screenshots?

Good point on that rule not being posted yet, and you're right. We have been discussing it.

Anyway, please use smaller images in the forums. If anyone wants to see it up close, they can click.

Why switch to dwm? As I understand it, Awesome is a branch of dwm that doesn't abide by the idea that source code should be less than x lines.

What do you want from dwm that Awesome doesn't have? Or are you just trying it to try it?

SamC · 2009-01-29 01:16:46

Varreon: Awesome is massive in comparison to DWM

Honken · 2009-01-29 01:40:12

And complicated. The config in DWM is really easy to understand, even for those who don't know C.

Edit: At least in comparison to Awesome.

Masters of the Universe time The episode is Mekaneck's Lament from Season 1. The gtk theme is Cobble from Lokheed@deviantart. Icons are also from Lokheed. Fluxbox is modified Jello.

Went with an abstract wallpaper this time. Still Openbox though.

Only thing that's changed is my wallpaper:

Actually, it was from last month, but I don't think I posted it.

This also needs a few kinks to be worked out. For example, if the artist or song name contains accents or special characters, textwidth doesn't return the correct amount of space. Also, I need to make the temperature a little more "fixed" so it always takes up the same amount of space.

The mbox_type for mutt is set to Maildir, and I use MOC as my music player.

@Breakage: Love those shots as usual when it comes to you desktop!
Are you using the fonts from http://pixelfonts.style-force.net/ "out of the box" or did you have to do any tweaking to get them display correctly? I seem to have trouble with them I really don't understand why. Since these are ttf's, the only thing I can think of is my anti-aliasing settings, but then again converting the .fon file to .bdf (and then to pcf.gz) results in a similary "crooked" font..? I really like those fonts and it would be nice to get them working!

EDIT: Hmm.. seems like I got it fixed messing around with Xft settings in .Xdefaults. At some point I had set my dpi different from xorg, so I guess that was a bit confusing for fonts. Anyway, keep up the good work with those desktops Breakage!
