I like it, reminds me of a book I love. But if you let me make a suggestion: get rid of transparency (or just make it more opaque), some of the text is a pain to read and aesthetically it doesn't really add much. Your wallpaper is nice but you don't need to look at it all the time, especially not while you're working.

how does it remind you of a book? generally i'm only reading the focused window.

@ayekat: Thanks! icons and gtk theme are gtk-theme-numix and numix-icon-theme
For firefox, I had to write a stylesheet (load with stylish extension).
change the colors as you see appropriate.

Thank you!
I adjusted the colours a little on the GTK theme, looks nice.

This isn't really a screenshot, but I feel the need to evangalize BSPWM. It is an amazing window manager. I made a screencast showing off some of its features.

Looking at your configuration - how are you starting X? I see you have an .xinitrc, but in your dotfiles on github I don't see a single reference to xinit nor startx in your .zshrc or scripts sourced from there.

I use slim, which is probaby unecessary, but I like to play with other WM and it makes me easy to choose which WM i want to boot into

Alright; thanks for the answer. I was already quite infatuated with your xmonad gifs, and you have made me want to try bspwm + your configs.

Here's my simplistic herbstluftwm configuration!

Like dgz, I am also curious what bar that is and also what notification daemon you're using! It certainly looks nice!

I, too, want that bar! And the notification daemon (or whatever that notification is), for that matter!

DexterLB · 2013-09-14 06:19:03

The bar I'm using is dzen2. The blur effect is completely static (used imagemagick in a script to take a strip from the wallpaper, apply blur, darken and desaturation, and set it as a background image to dzen2).
The "notification daemon" is a simple python script that prints notifications to stdout, and its output is then interpreted by the script that writes to dzen2. I stole most of the code for the notification script from statnot.

I uploaded all the code to github, the scripts of interest are visual.sh, panel.sh, statnot.py and bake.sh.
You can see the entire git repo here.
I'm sorry for the code being kinda messy, I'm working on cleaning it up, meanwhile if you have any questions I'll be glad to explain

Not much new, dual monitors now though!

Just started using bspwm (fake busy):

I always picture the scenery in that color while I'm reading it. It's 100 years of solitude, my recommendation by the way.

This is neat. I like how you use that tiling icon. Can you share the configurations of what you've got going there?

For the icons, there may be a better way but this is what I did:

layout=$(printf "%s" "${name}" | sed -e 's/\(.\).*/\U\1/' -e 's/T/[]/' -e 's/M/[]/')

where the [] are the font symbols. I'm using stlarch_font for that. To get them, echo the symbol name in the terminal like so:

echo -e "\ue002" | xclip -i

and replace the [] with them.

For the status stuff, I hacked away at i3status to get it to work with bar and bspwm. This is my i3status config.

I think that is everything.

Neat, thanks for this info. I have installed stlarch_font, and am now using gucharmap to peruse the vast selection of icons. Though looking through these is pretty labor intensive (I guess I don't have to do it once though). I'm curious how you, and others find their way though these icon containing fonts. Is there a better way?

I haven't found an ideal way to do it, but gbdfed isn't bad. If you read the help file that is included with stlarch_font, it will tell you how to convert the font into one that is readable by gbdfed. You can then open it and all the font symbols with show up with their number above them. If you need more help, let me know; I am not on my arch install right now so I can't give you exact directions until I am.
