Re: October 2008 Screenshots

Arkane, that is a really nice looking setup, I am quite impressed. Could I please have configs and such so that I can copy your setup on my EEE? I've wanted to do something with xmonad on it for a while.

Here goes:

@ alexandroos

I'm guessing it's urxvt or some similar terminal with a transparent background, setup with no window decorations and stuck to all desktops.  I did this on one of my old openbox setups I believe this is what I had in my rc.xml:

<application name="urxvt">
      <skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
      <skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
      <position>
        <x>690</x>
        <y>685</y>
      </position>
      <layer>below</layer>
      <focus>no</focus>
      <desktop>all</desktop>
      <decor>no</decor>
    </application>

The download worked fine for me, thank you.

Just out of curiousity, how were you able to rename those volumes in pcmanfm?

I wanted to know this too, so I did some snooping and it appears to be calcurse.  (Thanks for posting your xmonad.hs so I could figure this out justcme)

Re: October 2008 Screenshots

Cheers for the complements guys

The calendar/todo/appointments is indeed calcurse, as rson451 said. It's a great little app I'm surprised it's not used more!

I've uploaded the .Xdefaults and .vimrc and color scheme(s) here
The color scheme is called vividchalk, but it may have been modified a little (can't remember where though). A google search should bring up the original.

Terminal colours in my .Xdefaults is from this thread. I'm using thayer's excellent tango colours, but with magenta from mrcold's colours.

As for the terminal font - it's monaco. I don't think it's packaged with anything, so here's a digged site which google returned - link.

Ashren:
I browsed the dzen svn repos and found an xft-capable branch a while back, and modified the AUR package to pull the sources from there instead. I think there were a few patches as well, but I can't remember what I did anymore. (haven't recompiled since). Have a look around and see what you can do/find.

Thanks again guys

Yes, that is me doing a biology assignment at 1 AM in the morning. Need to synthesize me some amelopectin using only alpha glucoses, alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages and alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages.

Obviously, that looks amazing

I bookmarked your blog. The screenshots are pretty cool. How old are you by the way?

Cheers!

Don't expect too much of it though, it's just something to keep me busy.
Oh, and I'm 25 (Why?)

Back on topic:
I'm trying to put together a nice looking Awesome3 config on my old laptop. Will report back when it's finished.

Re: October 2008 Screenshots

I've let Xubuntu inspire me.

It's Xfce4, Xfwm theme is Murrina Blue, GTK+ theme Murrina Storm Cloud Silver, Tango icons.  I'm also using QtCurve to give my Qt/KDE apps very similar look to the GTK+ ones.

What about using gtkstyle-svn from AUR ? It does exactly that.
