Mind telling me about this theme?

Mostly I'd like to know gtk/emerald/icons and what font you're using.

Thanks!

Would you be so kind as to share some information about your fonts?

This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody's posting in the support forums for Arch support, we're talking about linux-related topics in the chat-oriented subforums. Ubuntu Forums for me is a great place...

This is how I feel. The initial install and configuration might be daunting (to some), but once it's up and running, it's a lot easier and saner than anything else I've used.

Yeah, Yaourt is awesome.

This isn't true. Arch's minimal nature is not its best feature. The Pacman package manager is.

I was using XUbuntu for a couple weeks when I got my new laptop (because I was having trouble...

What's your Firefox theme?

EDIT: Never mind.

Bomp.

Bump.

I got my Broadcomm wireless working, and everything's great, except for the design of this stupid laptop. The button that toggles the wireless is positioned in a way that if I am leaning back with...

If anyone has any ideas about THIS, it would be appreciated:

All of my function keys work (Fn + [End] = Next Track, etc) EXCEPT for the Volume Control buttons.

Any idea why that might...

So I just got a pre-owned Acer 3003wlmi (I know, not great, but it was an "if you can fix the damn thing it's yours" arrangement), and I've made everything work for the most part, except ONE thing I...

Meh, just install it and spend a few hours tinkering around with it. If you like it, the answer is yes. If you don't, go back to Gnome or whatever.

Pretty much everything. Apps take ages to open, Konqueror is laggy as hell, Dolphin is slow, the visual effects are slow, etc.. I get that I'm using older hardware and it's a new DE, I'm just looking...

Older hardware, p4 2ghz, geforce fx5200, 1gb ram. I don't expect a lot, just looking for tweaks. And I'm using Arch Linux. Have tried the testing repo, the main repo, and kdemod.

Out of curiosity, why openbox with Gnome? You're not using desktop icons, gnome-panel, or metacity, so what's the point of loading all the extra stuff when you could just use openbox solo?

Hi guys. I've been looking at the screenshot threads a lot, and it's locked me in this endless install/fiddle/uninstall cycle with KDE4. Like, it looks SO beautiful, but it's SO sluggish on my...

See, I LOVE the compact list view. I just find it more efficient. I can find things WAY faster, it's ridiculous. I'd be really pissed off if Thunar decided to switch the compact view to a vertical...

Arch.

My July Desktop:

Pekwm - My port of "Nooto"
GTK - Custom, entitled "Ghostship"
Icons - Eikon2
Wallpaper from fiftyfootshadows.net

APPS: Conky, tint2, thunar, sonata.
...

Heh, after I get the arch base system installed, that's about it.. 10 packages, indeed.

-ndiswrapper
-pekwm
-tint2
-conky
-firefox
-thunderbird
-thunar
-mpd

well, for a temporary fix, open a terminal and type:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

followed by

sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <your network name>

this works with open networks.

Even easier, you can just add NetworkManager to your daemons array, but I'm not sure where ubuntu keeps that stuff (arch has it in /etc/rc.conf). That way it'll load no matter what DE/WM you're using.

If yer using the SAME network every time, there ARE files you can edit to make it just work. If you want to be able to change networks, yer outta luck.

PekWM. All the fun of Openbox, with more flexible, better-looking theming.
