Post your fluxbox setting with screenshot

[Glenn Jones]

Thanks guys. I guess what I ideally want is a tabbed xterm. I really hate having 4 or 5 xterm windows open at the same time especially on my laptop which has a 12" screen. Do you know of a tabbed xterm??

If you don't want transparency, then xterm (or uxterm) is a nice terminal.

This is what I'm using:

uxterm -bg black -fg white +sb -geometry 100x40 -fa DejaVuSansMono -fs 10

By the way, transparency works well on urxvt (rxvt-unicode) if you want to use that instead of aterm or eterm. Up to you.


EDIT:

... and here's my screenshot as well.

- conky
- fbpager
- no toolbar
- no desktop icons
- Noir theme with a few modifications (many thanks to happy-and-lost for mentioning that one; great-looking theme)
- urxvt (rxvt-unicode) for a transparent terminal (eye candy)
- uxterm for my regular terminal (getting work done)

wow, your background looks like it was taken downtown in waikiki, hawaii.

tabbed terminal try eterm, you get the best of all worlds.

So I decided to give rxvt-unicode a go and it seems to do everything I want it to do. I can get tabbs if I need them and the fonts look quite cool.

Any chance you could post your .Xdefaults RedSquirrel??

It's Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It's hard to beat in terms of sheer physical beauty. Every view is a postcard. You should see the view looking West (into the picture) from the midpoint of that bridge!

I change my backgrounds a lot, but I think I'll be sticking with this one for a while.

I'm not using one at the moment. I just tweaked the settings on the command line and then I made a shortcut in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file. Here are the settings I used (or something close to this):

urxvt -tr -tint white -sh 50 -fg white -bg black +sb -geometry 100x40 -fn "xft:DejaVuSansMono:size=10" -sl 1000

This one was one of my personal favorites.

Thanks.

Ok my final question on the whole configuration thing of urvxt is how do I make the colors the same as in xterm? I use ls -G so I get coloured output, but the xterm highlighting of directories(/folders) is a lighter than in urxvt (or linux). The darker blue outpured is quite difficult to see in on a black background. How can I change the output in urxvt so it is the same as in xterm

Cheers

This is my VERY first screenshot post (for flux, or anything for that matter).. I want to thank all of you for helping me by answering my questions and coming on here to share your original ideas...

So here it is..

I use black_harmony theme from a flux-look.org type site
deviant art wallpaper
(tango icons in thunar... looking for a better 'black/grey' alternative)
conky

and thats it....

Have a look at the file:
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color

For now, I just borrowed them from there and put them in ~/.Xdefaults.

URxvt*color0: black
URxvt*color1: red3
URxvt*color2: green3
URxvt*color3: yellow3
URxvt*color4: blue2
URxvt*color5: magenta3
URxvt*color6: cyan3
URxvt*color7: gray90
URxvt*color8: gray50
URxvt*color9: red
URxvt*color10: green
URxvt*color11: yellow
URxvt*color12: rgb:5c/5c/ff
URxvt*color13: magenta
URxvt*color14: cyan
URxvt*color15: white

Do have a look at this too:

It's very good.
