Fresh install of Arch 2009.08 x64; testing the new installer and playing with XFS. Shown: Evilwm, Xterm x2, Xcompmgr, Moc.

Taters · 2009-08-21 03:41:20

Tweaked it a bit.

Out of curiosity, has anyone been able to make fadeInactive and xmobar to play nicely with each other? I'm having trouble getting them both to use the logHook...

Wallpaper is plain black, for two reasons actually.
1) I have a tiling wm, so as soon an app is running it covers the whole screen.
2) I frequiently change between running only 1280x800, 1280x1024 and 2560x1024 and finding a wallpaper that I want that looks good on all these is somewhat difficult (and I like to create them myself too).

What vim scheme do you use?

    else:
        copycover(album, filename, cover, noimg)
        open("/tmp/nowplaying", "w").write(album)

Conky can display images now?! Wow! (I must be flagged out of date )

And here comes my bash version, if you don't mind.

#!/bin/bash
#make sure hold_dir and non_cvr exists.
hold_dir="$HOME/.covers"
none_cvr="$hold_dir/nocover.png"
disp_cvr="/tmp/conky.cover"
play_log="/tmp/mpd_playing.log"

function update_cover ()
{
currentalbum="$1" ; src="$2" ; dest="$disp_cvr" ; fallback="$none_cvr"
if [ "$currentalbum" == "EMPTYTAGSARECOOL"  ] ; then
    ln -sf "$fallback" "$dest"
elif [ -f "$src" ] ; then
    ln -sf "$src" "$dest"
else
    searchstring="${currentalbum// /+}"
    url="http://www.albumart.org/index.php?srchkey=${searchstring}&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music"
    #only gets the 1st cover, modify if you can't get no satisfaction
    cover_url=$( curl -s "$url" |
    awk -F'src=' '/zoom-icon.jpg/{print $2}' | cut -d\" -f2 | head -1 )
    if [ "$cover_url" != "" ] ; then
    src_name=$(basename "$src") ; src_dir=$(dirname "$src")
    cd "$src_dir" ; aria2c -q -o "$src_name" "$cover_url"
    fi
    [ -f "$src" ] && ln -sf "$src" "$dest" || ln -sf "$fallback" "$dest"
fi
}

touch "$play_log"
ln -s "$fallback" "$dest" 2>/dev/null

album=$( mpc --format %artist%+%album% | grep -v '^volume:' | head -1 )
filepath="$hold_dir/$album.jpg"
last=$( cat "$play_log" )

if [ "$album" != "$last" ] ; then
     if [ "$album" == "" ] ; then
         update_cover EMPTYTAGSARECOOL
     else
             update_cover "$album" "$filepath"
     fi
              echo "$album" > "$play_log"
fi

Edit: Made a mistake about aria2's -o option, works now.

Edit: Another cleaned up version, which grabs covers from last.fm

#!/bin/bash
#make sure hold_dir and non_cvr exists.
hold_dir="$HOME/.covers"
none_cvr="$hold_dir/nocover.png"
disp_cvr="/tmp/conky.cover"
play_log="/tmp/mpd_playing.log"

function update_cover ()
{
current="$1" ; src="$2" ; dest="$disp_cvr" ; fallback="$none_cvr"
if [ "$current" == ""  ] ; then
    ln -sf "$fallback" "$dest"
elif [ -f "$src" ] ; then
    ln -sf "$src" "$dest"
else
    artist=`echo "$current"|cut -d+ -f1|sed 's/ /+/g'`
    album=`echo "$current"|cut -d+ -f2|sed 's/ /+/g'`
    url="http://www.last.fm/music/${artist}/${album}"
    cover_url=$( curl -s "$url" |
    grep 'LFM.set("ParentResource"' | tr '"' '\n' | sed '/.*.jpg/!d;s/\\//g' | tail -1 )
    if [ "$cover_url" != "" ] ; then
    src_name=$(basename "$src") ; src_dir=$(dirname "$src")
    cd "$src_dir" ; aria2c -q -o "$src_name" "$cover_url"
    fi
    [ -f "$src" ] && ln -sf "$src" "$dest" || ln -sf "$fallback" "$dest"
fi
}

touch "$play_log"

current=$( mpc --format %artist%+%album% | grep -v '^volume:' | head -1 )
last=$( cat "$play_log" )

if [ "$current" != "$last" ] ; then
    filepath="$hold_dir/$current.jpg"
    update_cover "$current" "$filepath"
    echo "$current" > "$play_log"

so I went back to dwm. I kept hitting my dwm shortcuts in KDE and realized I should never have left.
ncurses apps and keyboard control just work so much nicer with dwm on my laptop

It only works if you have fades enabled, so set fade steps to 1 (if you don't want fades):
xcompmgr -I1 -O1 -Ff -m.75 &
Aha, so that was the magic, thanks ! Looks like it's not in the manpage, but it shows the option when doing a -h.

Thanks! I have been wrapped up in a home improvement project (yay tile floor is done!)

Yes, xcompmgr-dana has a -m#.## option to make the menus transparent. (first # can only be a 1 or nonexistent)

Just make sure you do not set the -c flag, it will cause a bunch of havoc because it is default. It seems to set twice somehow...

I use -m.86 myself. The -m.85 was a little hard to see with my theme and background, and anything higher might as well have been not transparent IMO.

By the way, I got the help from a google search that turned up a Gentoo forum post. I am glad it helped someone else.

My apologies for not getting the proper flag use up with the post. I tried to make it as simple of a how-to in the original post as possible, and simply forgot that step.

Icons are ALLGREY. And thanks, credit does go to the original axonkolor XP visual style though. I just made a close port.

It's tint2 (running pidgin and transmission) + conky down there. The terminal is an urxvt runing screen (with a bash shell, irssi, ncmpc and htop).

Woohoo I never thought I would ever use leave my lovely tiling WMs, but tried KDE 4.3 and so far I like it. So here you go with my new screenshot.
