Note: it has changed a bit since that screenshot, but not all that much. Just delete the 'height' line from the statusbars to put it like it was.

Re: May 2008 Screenshots
Nice arch updates script, can I see the source, I want to see how you get the updates needed? I wanna port it to PekWM, probably I'll do it in ruby though

Sure mate...
in menu:
<menu id="pipemenu" label="Arch Packages" execute="/home/nikke/.scripts/feeder.py" />then feeder.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
feeder.py - version 5
by Vlad George
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
This script pipes rss and podcast feeds into the openbox menu
Usage:
First you need the python-feedparser and python-elementtree modules (archlinux (AUR)/ ubuntu).
Place this script under ~/.config/openbox/scripts, edit the variables under "User set variables"
according to your likings (your list of rss_urls, browser and media-player to open links,
number of displayed rss-entries, enable/disable caching of feeds, maximum age of feeds),
make it executable, then add following to your ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml:
"<menu id="feeder-menu" label="rss-feeds" execute="~/.config/openbox/scripts/feeder.py" />...
<menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox3">...<menu id="feeder-menu" />...</menu>"
and reconfigure openbox.
Changelog:
01.07.2007: 1st version
03.07.2007: works now (changed "~")....
05.07.2007: added cache
07.10.2007: added name of rss and sorted output
03.2008: added podcast support

Re: May 2008 Screenshots
Back to dwm 4.9 as my main wm. Been playing around with Dzen2 again and through some creative thinking/scripting/googling I succeeded applying gradients to my homebrewed dzen2 menu and to dzen2 in general.

Re: May 2008 Screenshots
Genius. Looks like Windows, but meh. It's simplistic, but not to the point of sacrificing functionality. (Though I have no idea how all you guys survive without trays loaded to the brim like mine.) What theme is that?

Re: May 2008 Screenshots
Alright guys, you made me want to try one of those odd looking WMs such as Dzen, Xmonad or the like... Can you just gimme a short round-up about why those are so useful? Or why you are using them?

They're good if you run a lot of terminal based apps. If you're into GUI stuff they're not as useful, at least from my experiences. They make the most of your screen's real estate, which is very useful if you tend to have a lot of terminals open. I tend to work with one window open, having three or four things staring at me just gets distracting. The most I tend to do is alt+tab between a word processor and a web browser. But if you're a multi-tasker a tiling WM might be perfect for you. In any case, the screenshot thread might not be the best place to discuss this -- a lot more people will probably reply if you post on the Desktop Board.

Re: May 2008 Screenshots
I installed Hardy a few days ago, as it was the first Ubuntu I hadn't tried out.. But I just HAD to go back to Arch after a day or two with it. Hardy's really, really, really nice, but I just can't use apt anymore.
heh.
anyhooooo, here's my day-old Arch XFCE setup:
