Edit: Really? Wow, those WERE thumbnails. Using the suggested 20% mogrify. Fine, this time I resized them. As mentioned below, it'd be great to have some guidlines, however. I would also like to mention that I count at least four other posts on this page alone that have thumbnails bigger than mine were that have no been touched.
Could I get your conky config for your weather in the top right (looks exactly how I want it on my computer)? Also, could I get your weather script for that? Every script I've tried doesn't seem to work right.

Sure, let me tarball and host it really quick....done! LOOKIE HERE!

You'll need the following for my configuration to work for you...

The conkyforecast-bzr package from the AUR.
To install the fonts that I provided in the tarball in "$HOME/.icons/" or in "/usr/share/icons/"
Find the XOAP location code for your location using the following URL: http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=CITY . Then view the source of the resulting page, and look for the <loc id="SOMESTRINGHERE"> in the line of your city and copy everything in the id portion. That'll be what you need to put in the last line of the conkyrc as "--location=YOURLOCATION"
Place the conkyForecast.template somewhere and then edit the last line of the conkyrc I provide you with to reflect where it is in the "--template=/path/to/conkyForecast.template" part.

Thank you very much!

Now I just have to figure out why it won't work. But I'll start another thread for that.

Dear mods
For a few weeks now, you've been more vigilant about deleting thumbnails that are 'too big'. Meanwhile, we still only have some vague guidelines for screenshots that are 1024x768, as if anybody on a desktop pc would still use that resolution. Why don't you state a clear limit on size? Say, all thumbnails must be under 500kb in size and people are not to post more than 4 thumbnails in a reasonable amount of time. That way, people with bigger screens can use a lossy format at a lower quality for larger thumbnails without angering any dial-up mobs.
Sincerely,
robrene

Thanks for the note robrene. The mods have discussed the issue and agree that more clarity about the size would be helpful for all. The Screenshot Posting Rules in this forum, the first post in this thread and the Forum Etiquette have now been updated to reflect this.

The new guideline is that anything wider than 250px or over 50Kb in size will be removed. This will allow all members, irrespective of their bandwidth or technology to be able to browse this forum and choose which images they wish to open at higher resolution/sizes.

Ok, I went a little crazy this month...

I pretty much stopped using KDE 4.5 and started using my old favorite... Window Maker.

I am using a "Haiku" color style that I made. I started using the dock and clip for the first time. I am using the default icons for all applications.

As I installed and setup my desktop, I updated the Window Maker page in the Arch wiki. I also updated PKGBUILD files for some of the dockapps that are in the AUR.

I think my desktop screams "1995". I kind of like it.

@jb Thanks, but one last question... What is your console font?

That was also Droid; specifically:

-- mod edit: read the first post - thumbnails only --

-- user edit: OH NOES MY BEAUTIFUL IMAGE GONE!!11!! --

Whoops, forgot even non-desktop screenshots have to comply to the aforementioned rules. Well, just so I don't leave froli in the dark here, Imagine that hash mark is the bottom left corner of the Appearance tab in konsole that reads:

Font
Preview: Droid Sans Mono Slashed, size 9

You're very welcome. Always happy to share a config.

Very nice. Although I'd ditch tahoma for droid sans.

Great job, I love retro desktops!

Back to GNOME, after realizing how nice it is to have a full-blown DE in Mint's Debian-based distro.

What font do you use for the icons in your conky?

caligo · 2010-09-09 09:53:16

GTK theme: GrayPhox

XFWM theme: Candido-Redux-Flat

Icon theme: Faenza

Font: Aller Sans. Discovering this typeface was seriously one of the highlights of the last week -- finally, something as functional and well kerned as Droid Sans but with some personality to it (yes, I am indeed a typography nerd). Still using Inconsolata in the terminal.

That's checkgmail-svn from AUR. Checkgmail is avaliable through the arch community repository as well, but on my system that version refuses to cooperate for some reason.

Thanks!

Those are actually .xbm icons, and conky is being piped into a dzen bar. The icon set is sm4tik's which can be downloaded here: http://dzen.geekmode.org/dwl/xbm8x8-0.1.tar.gz
