April "awesome idea" 2009 Screenshots

1LordAnubis · 2009-04-07 06:00:29

Alright, I finally broke down and set up my openbox, which I admit is my favorite now.
I've always been torn between kde and openbox, but with a nicely configured openbox, I really see no need for kde

covered: uncovered:

also, some others I took...

Wra!th · 2009-04-07 06:06:50

Not bad.
I must object the first screenshot though...

Pretty much the same as always, made a few changes and found a nice screen pipe menu on the fvwm forums.
I've been using the poor mans tiling with fvwm lately and its really nice.

rox-filer urxvt and screen.

gunnihinn · 2009-04-07 07:23:56

Evilwm and conky in the clean one, and Pidgin, ncmpc, screen and a menu I wrote in the dirty one.

I've just gone back to Evilwm after trying out Gnome for a couple of weeks. I can't handle Gnome/Kde anymore, years of minimalism have turned me into a speed freak.

Simplistic as it gets!

Wra!th · 2009-04-07 07:41:34

@droog: still awesome
@gunnihinn: you wrote that menu using what? If it's xlib only I might want to take a look at the source
@thoffmeyer: simplistic is always fun . I'd go with a less contrastant wallpaper though

Very clean and simple. Nice desktop!

Your terminal colors look nice too!

Could you share your .Xdefaults please?

You have an objection to Indian Jones? ;_;

My current set-up:

I quit using awesome and started using musca as WM...

The clean screenshot would be very useless (a nice blue bordered black square )

After a brief flirtation with stumpwm I'm back on xmonad. Would like to try stumpwm again at some point. I'm playing around with some of the contrib modules at the moment.

Not much has changed really: XMonad, xcompmgr, urxvt, htop.

Special guest appearance by Tuz.

No... I have an objection against swastikas posted on such a public forum. The fact that the screenshot is part of a movie makes no difference

NME · 2009-04-07 08:54:10

Now now, it's not searchable, so it doesn't come up in google.
Besides that, it's just a symbol. Doesn't mean 'commit warcrimes and other atrocities' unless someone wants it to.

Sorry for being like this: are you some kind of a "panic guy"? We don't need to hide our history and think it's gone. I live in a country where communism destroyed almost everything in humans, yet I don't want my children to forgot what we've been through. This is the only way we'll be safe from going back again. I don't see anything offensive about that picture. It's history, accept it!

sorry for offtopic!

I live in the same country....
That doesn't mean I'd still keep a picture of Ceausescu on the wall like I used to ( well was "forced" to). This has nothing to do with history. I doubt anyone would forget about the swastika and what it stands for. Not to mention that I'm quite sure that the screenshot was intended to show that specific scene in the movie. There's another 1-2 hours of the movie that could have been shown without ruining the setup,

It's just a small Python/ncurses script running in a xterm window. I'm happy to pass you the source (http://www.hi.is/~gthm1/menu.py), but I never really thought about releasing this into the wild so a couple of things about it are 'good enough' for me. It works, but if I was serious about this I'd figure out how to smooth a couple of rough edges.

For one, configuring which programs show up in the list is done by editing the script. It's fairly self explanatory, you've got a list of names and paths, first a name entry followed by a path that should be executed when that entry is selected. You can select which entry the menu opens on, and when scrolling through the list it wraps around in a circle.

Another thing is that I never really figured out how to get it to launch in its own dedicated window. My solution was to set a xbindkeys shortcut that launches a xterm window of a specific size that runs the script (i.e. 'xterm -geometry *bla* -e /path/to/menu'). It works fine, the only drawback is that if the xterm window isn't wide enough for all the names in the list the whole thing crashes when you launch it, but that's fixed quickly enough by adjusting the size of the window.

Aside from that there's not much to it.

Thanks . Never hurts to look at sources. I was thinking of writing one using C + Xlib so I thought I won't have to reinvent the wheel. Will start writing that anyway

EDIT: I love the scrolling!. Not a bad menu congrats

Well, originally I took several screenshots during the movie, but thought that one looked the most photogenic.
I'm sorry if you feel offended by the screenshot; it wasn't meant in such a way, but personally I don't understand how that could be considered offensive, or NSFW. (well, I guess so depending on your location.... , but its a screenshots thread afterall)
If I'd have been watching a movie about Colonel Custard (analogy to my country..), I would have posted a similar screenshot. That doesn't mean I think its right, but you can't learn from your history if you hide it. In fact, I don't believe anyone should hide anything from you.

Thanks. It should stop here. Its just a picture from a movie. He is not embracing the ideology.
