Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

This one I came up with just for the hell of it, but I think it turned out quite nicely.

Conky & Tint2 configs/theme files located here.

Can you share the wallpaper with no modification? I mean with no space for conky.
Thanks,

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Thanks to all the tips in the conkyrc thread finally I came up with something. Yes, it looks a bit messy, but I NEED ALL THE INFOs on my desktop without having to open any browser!
PS- Don't laugh at my screen size! -__-

Nowhere near as impressive as some others, simply Openbox w/ Tint2 and Conky.

Firstly, my apologies, I'm using the same hard link to host my screenshots thus my colors change every day or so, I'll date stamp them in the future.

Panel is Tint2 from AUR
GTK2 is a mod of Rezlooks-Graphite
OB is a mod of Tropical Bomb

have put all on http://www.meyithi.com/dots/

Re: Share your Openbox Desktop ! :)

Ok, Here is what all day of conkyrc editing got me

"Dark System Beta 1.7" Icon theme
"Magestic" GTK2 theme and GTK theme in QT4
"xfzen blue" OpenBox theme.
"ATER_Blue" X11 mouse courser.
I use "stalonetray" transparent and vertical in the bottom right as my system tray.
I just use the middle mouse click (or both right+left click) for my desktop select and running application tray...

Panels are just a wast of space in OpenBox. All you need is a system tray.... I hate panels

Have any of you dudes tried PekWM? If so, what are your thoughts? I'm enjoying it a great deal, as it seems like Openbox with better theming abilities.

You're right!! There's also the window grouping functionnality that is very useful

Config files are simpler than Openbox, but there's no grafical tools.

To me, PekWM is like a "better Openbox".

Yeah. I hope to at some point see a obconf-like tool for it, because getting window focus and a few other things to behave less "strangely" is kind of a pain at first, and as a result there's a higher learning curve than Openbox.. But I feel like Pek is a natural progression from an OB-style WM.
