Very nice setup! Two requests...

1- What font are you using for your conky display
2- Could you maybe point me to your calendar script for conky (Assuming of course that it is done via conky.

Cheers,
P.

Thanks

1. Conky's font is Monofur

2. Calendar stuff is:

${font}${color 3f8bd2}${alignc}${voffset -10}${font neuropol:size=10}${time %B} ${time %Y}

${color0}${font Monofur:size=10}${execpi 300 DJS=`date +%_d`; cal | sed '1d' | sed '/./!d' | sed 's/$/                     /' | fold -w 21 | sed -n '/^.\{21\}/p' | sed 's/^/${alignc} /' | sed /" $DJS "/s/" $DJS "/" "'${color 3f8bd2}'"$DJS"'${color}'" "/}${font}

Anyway, i made some other changes

Re: April "awesome idea" 2009 Screenshots

Same exact setup that I've had since I installed Arch on this laptop, haha. Only things that change are the wallpaper and what color 1977 theme I use.
Oh, I switched from quodlibet to amarok cause it likes my iphone better.

Re: April "awesome idea" 2009 Screenshots

one week running awesome, and it's awesome.
i know it is a gnome background, but still think the foot is kinda cool.

Even though i am digging how simple and sleek awesome is, i must say that some of the KDE shots this month just rock. Going to have to put it on my wifes laptop.

I'm just getting started with a lightweight WM and love it... Who knows how I'll feel about a tilling wm??? :-D

Must give it a try some time soon.

I know it's a bit off-topic, but I would like to get the opinion of tilling wm's users why it is better.

Cheers,

The obvious advantage is that you don't have to manage your windows yourself. A less-than-obvious example is that, on my laptop at least, StumpWM starts up near instantaneously, whereas I had a noticeable delay with other WMs. I noticed a similar effect with Xmonad.

pretty much just trying to make moc's colors change according to my .Xdefaults, the transparency theme doesnt do a great job at that.

the options that have black in them are neccassary because without them you couldnt see what you've selected.

ofcoarse you can change black to whatever you like, its default that doesnt work well

Re: April "awesome idea" 2009 Screenshots

Just did a complete system rebuild and didn't feel like screwing with my Awesome configs to get them working with 3.2, so I'm temporarily switching back to OpenBox. Still like my minimalism though.
