[CLOSED - SEE MONTHLY STICKIES] Arch Desktop Screenshots

Figured we needed a thread for this since there isn't one, so I'll start it off...

Here's my current one. Running fvwm-devel, and the theme is a modified one of Taviso's, that was modified by another guy, which was modified by me to the black theme. Enjoy.

EDIT: Modified for June...

Yay for the thread that doesn't exist!

What's missing is a howto for WMs. In Wiki the "Desktop Environments & X11" category is empty.

I suggest you change the subject to "Post Your Desktop Howto!" and post how did you configure your FVWM (its great). Or post in Wiki a general howto guideline.

Well, mine is a modified version of another guy's that was a modified version of someone else's, but I'll post it (fvwm2rc) when I get a chance, I'm currently not on the computer with it right now. However, it's not 100% completed to my customizations...

That is just a beautiful exercise in simplicity.  Kudos.  Mind posting some information about it?

Here

XFCE4 with an icon theme made by yours truely (well, I just copied it from Umicons really).

That's a nice looking FVWM screenshot, maybe I'll try messing with that piece someday, just for the fun of it at least

Re: [CLOSED - SEE MONTHLY STICKIES] Arch Desktop Screenshots

You know i think these threads serve an alternative purpose. Rather than just to show off your desktops, you fvwm users have just converted me from openbox to that wm. I switched over an hour ago, and I'm liking it more and more. Keep making these threads every month please

bleak, where did you get the package for tpager? or do you still have the PKGBUILD you used?
thanks, Mike

It is a very simple app but works nice. The only problem is that it is always on top (at least in openbox)

pkgname=tpager
pkgver=0.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="tpager or Tiny Pager is a very lightweight aplication designed to be fast and small. It shows your workspaces and allows you to change between them"
url="http://s1x.homelinux.net/tpager.php"
source=(http://s1x.homelinux.net/downloads/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('aa7bd0eccf4ec6871e4e8523282382f1')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
  make || return 1
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/
  cp tpager $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/

Re: [CLOSED - SEE MONTHLY STICKIES] Arch Desktop Screenshots

thanks so much for the pkgbuild bleak,

one more question, do you know any other spot to find that xmms theme because i cant find it at cored.org.  Or am i just missing it?
