April "awesome idea" 2009 Screenshots

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:

http://dtw.jiwe.org/share/screenies/thumb-screenie.png

· 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.

Thats really cool. Could you give some details on where you are sourcing this image from or even the script your using to continually update it?

It looks like the map on NOAA's website but your color scheme is much less headache provoking.

EDIT: realized I might as well post a screen shot. Heres my DWM. Unfortunately this isn't arch.....but my *nix-ing style follows arch philosophies

I'm gonna post all my configs on one of those hosting sits tomorrow and put a link in my sig.

Apparently there's a template out there where you can fit in your own album art but I never found it. :S

Nice concept

I'm just started using screen for my server and I'm loving it. Can you perhaps share your screen config?

yep you're right it is from the NOAA website.  I just did a couple transformations, becuase like you said the original colorscheme is less than ideal. I'll post the little script i made below, i just have it on a cronjob that updates every ten minutes.  It basically just takes the negative of the image, than makes the water color transparent so you can make anything you want under the wallpaper preferences.

#! /bin/bash

cd /tmp/
rm latest.gif
wget http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/RadarImg/latest.gif
convert -modulate 75 -negate latest.gif latest.gif
convert -transparent "#b03e00" latest.gif latest.gif
mv latest.gif radarwall.gif
gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /tmp/radarwall.gif

I agree. But a panel? How can you stand the bloat?
