Thought I give GUI another try...
Does this mean that you usually don't use any GUI application?
But...what about the browser (Firefox, Opera or any other GUI browser)? And please don't tell that using links or any other textual browser is the same.

No it's not the same but I usually don't need images or Flash and such. So yes most of the time I just sit inside my Linux console..using console applications ( I use some framebuffer apps so I can see images, pdf's and use mplayer to view videos like anyone else). The console is not that scary..

EDIT: @Daisuke_Aramaki Can you post your fluxbox theme please (I asume that's Fluxbox...)

No it is not...you're right.
I'm also a CLI junkie. It's just that I never have been able to abandon firefox.
It's the only gui application I cannot live without. I am a web developer and firefox is a must have for me.
I have the framebuffer configured and I could watch pictures and movies in console.
But IMHO is not worth the candle...why use console when I can have all cli programs in a bunch of terminal emulators.
The virtual desktops are too convenient although I also could login in multiple consoles or use screen.
Respect for you choice though.
Although is not scary the console is not an environment for masses but for die hard guys.

Ever tried terminus font? I use it all day. It's an amazing font for terminal.
Try it.
Yes, I used it for quite a while. It's pretty cool.

It's my turn for Openbox. Let's see what all the fuss is about.
I am getting to love the DirectionalFocus* options. It feels almost like Ratpoison
Hmm... what panel is that in the upper right? And what dockapps are you using?

It's taken me a while, but I've managed to put together a desktop that I'm 99.9% happy with:
I'm running Openbox with LXPanel, conky, xcompmgr and transset-df.
Openbox theme: Onyx
GTK theme: SlicknesS
Icons: Tango-Noir
The 0.1% I'm still not happy with yet is the icon for the Net Status Monitor on the panel - as you can see the panel isn't giving the icon enough horizontal space to be displayed completely. That and I wouldn't mind being able to change the icons in the Application Launch Bar. But I can live without that 0.1% for now.
Solutions nearly always come from the direction you least expect, which means there's no point trying to look in that direction because it won't be coming from there.

You're right about everything. Actually I think I'll give the new DWM a whirl for a while. Haven't used it since 4.7 .
My fiance is starting to look at me like I'm a freak..with no windows..no mouse..just sitting there and typing stuff all day...starting to ask myself if it's really worth the effort...especially since my box'es can run Doom3 at max quality , yet I choose to not even run X
I also did an openbox setup with xcompmgr stuff + pypanel. Going to post that later on

thanks man. the icons are from sun's nimbus theme. Here's the link for the theme. the tarball contains the nimbus gtk engine, the theme and the icons. once u build it, the theme and the icons will be installed systemwide. However if u don't wanna do that, just let me know, i can just put the icons together and send the tarball to you.
Note: Direct Download - bz2 file, Right click and save locally.

The terminal font is Monofur.
Here's the link
