Very nice!
I've got one question: did you place the windows that way manually or you've used some special openbox actons?

Thanks!
Well, I placed them manually. But I would like to know more about placing windows, if thats possible. (this is my first openbox experiance, 1 week). The only thing I did for now was margin the desktop so that maximized screens wouldn't cover conky.

Regarding placing windows you should take a look at the MoveToEdge and GrowToEdge actions, they are very useful (the Grow one especially) --> http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Actions

How did you manage to margin the desktop?
EDIT: I got it!

Clean: conky, nothing else.

Dirty: firefox, urxvt/zsh, screen, ncmpcpp, tiled by pytyle

Screenshots from my new netbook, a Samsung N140. 10,1" isn't that big, so I dismissed all bars and stuff. I start everything maximized and use pytyle to tile if neccessary. No space wasted, no mouse (aka stupid touchpad) needed.

clean with just conky and a wallpaper (it's a rothko that i beat up a little bit).

dirty with firefox, xterm, mplayer, mc and htop. the gtk theme is niteaurora with some of the colors changed and the fonts are a mix of monospace bold, urw gothic l and y2k neophyte.

for those Archers that like Openbox and its simplicity, here is a website with some nice-looking simple desktop backgrounds. There are only some 40 of them, but the collection seems to be growing. And all of them are simple and "non-distracting". A nice fit for the simple elegant WM that is Openbox

weakhead · 2009-12-31 08:17:26

WM: Openbox
Wall: Elementary OS
Icons: Elementary Icons
Themes and Conky: Litestyle (reduced lightborder shade to 1.2 in GTK)

This is a bit unrelated but im dying to find out. In the pic above, there is system specs shown with the arch logo done in ascii and i see it everywhere. Is it just a command, or is it a custom script people use when screenshoting their systems?
