* Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.

* The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post explicit or suggestive, and provocative images (they must be safe for your kids and/or boss to see). Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.

* The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Rule set.

Ummmm, similar post? There's a post exactly like this one... It even has the same topic, why post another one?

[Mazza558]

It's essentially April now, where I live, according to my computer's clock.

Here's my desktop for April...

GTK: Clearlooks
Emerald: Gommoso
Icons: CrashBit alpha
(All on gnome-look)
Wall: Can't remember, I can upload if anyone wants it.

The other one was posted as I was uploading my images - the threads need to be merged.

Okay, it is midnight here, so I feel free to start the April thread, though I have not much change to my end march desktop. But here it is :

[fedex1993]

yeah this is a day early AHHh

[spupy]

I'm thinking of editing the ROX source code to make the icons on the desktop bigger - these are some delicious japanese-themed icons.

Programs you see are Rox Filer, Leafpad, Firefox, aterm, conky.

I use the Tango icon set, with Yoritsuki Japanese icons set for some special folders.

GTK theme is Aurora Borealis edited for extra roundedness.

Fluxbox theme is created by me to fit with gtk (it's really just one gradient, this kind are my fluxbox themes :)).

Wallpaper is called ... "Stripes" by invaderjohn on deviantart.com

On the first image you see "TEH ZEN". My desktop looks like that after i start it.
Second screen demonstrates the gtk theme, you can also see the icons of some minimized windows, scattered around.
The last one is Rox boasting beautiful icons, conky running, and the ultimate fluxbox eyecandy - xcompmgr. :|

Click here for more screens. (http://vesso.marv.lafka.net/screens/screens19/) Go up one folder for big gallery of evolving desktop since 2006.

lol, you have a lot of unread messages.

How do you like IceWM?

[Albi]

lol, you have a lot of unread messages.

How do you like IceWM?

It's mostly facebook spam and the like, I look at the title then go to the actual site to read it without actually clicking the message.

IceWM is pretty good, takes a bit to configure but it's as light as fluxbox and looks pretty good, and not like a minimalist WM (i dont prefer the look personally)

Still, how can you stand having it say that many? I even clean out my inbox periodically because I hate having so many messages.

What's that calendar dealie? I've never seen a desklet/screenlet calendar that looked any good, but that's a serious exception.

It's called Rainlendar. Do a Google search for it.

what wm is that?
sawfish, it uses GTK themes for menu and such so it always works really well with the GTK scheme. Originally Gnome used it as the window manager before moving to Metacity...

You can restore the default theme, at the end of the home page of ununtu forums (botom-left) there is a drop down that says, -- default style uf 2.5af (a = april, f = fools), change it to -- default style uf 2.5 and you are done

With 1.4 onwards right click on the tabs to select which ones to hide/show. There's an old version in the repos 1.2 or something, you can get newer versions from getdeb (http://getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=sonata).

You are an Openbox wizard.
Awesome as always.

Thank you. I didn't expect anyone would praise those screenshots :p but I've worked a bit more on the theme and came up with a matching Gtk theme. Here is the result. The Gtk theme still needs a little work (mainly on things you don't see in the screenshot). Feedback is always welcome.

Openbox 3.4.6 with a homemade Openbox theme, Gtk theme and wallpaper; icons are nuoveXT-1.6, fonts are Arial Rounded MT and HeldustryFTV Basic Black.

Once I settle on a name for the theme, I'll upload it to box-look.org.

I believe it actually depends on the GTK theme you're using. I'm a Xfce user myself, and what I do is to go to the gtkrc file inside of the gtk-2.0 directory of the theme I'm currently using. After opening the gtkrc with, say, Gedit or Mousepad, you might find an option on the first lines of the document, saying "gtk-menu-images = 1". Switch the 1 to a 0 (zero). Save the gtkrc file and reload the theme. That should work.

What is that calendar/todo application (top right)? It looks interesting.

calcurse, a CLI calendar app. It's pretty nice, for what it is. one thing I like about it is how it can return your appointments from the command line. for example doing this:


calcurse -n | tr -d '\n'

will give me my next scheduled appointment. i added this to my wmii config file, and now it will always show my next appointment (if in the same day) on the notification area. Here is a screenshot. look in the bottom right, it's telling me to go to bed at a reasonable time tonight.

I don't know of any tutorials, but i've noticed that it's usually not that hard to tweak existing ones. All you really have to do is rename the picture you want as background.jpg, move it to the login screen folder, and then edit the rc file. At least for changing small things, it's usually pretty easy to do it this way.

And what is the thing in the bottom left corner? is it disk space usage?
No it is a clock ring screenlet from here (http://screenlets.org/index.php/Clock_Ring)

@mrgnash: I see you have the gnome panel at the top not expanded. This way can you maximize windows to use the whole screen and the panel sits over the title bar? I would really like to do this to maximize the screen space

The Compiz Fusion Live CD theme work continues with this wallpaper featuring a not often seen Compiz Decorator icon (representing Emerald and the future decorator that's currently being worked on) and screenlet-based launcher set up (who needs Nautilus when you can draw your own dang icons?):

Other wallpapers are there for the Core icon and the Compiz Settings icon, the latter of which is shown as a launcher.
The icons launch CCSM, Emerald Theme Manager, and the C-F web site.

I've noticed recently that there are quite a few Arch users here. It makes me really want to give it a serious try. I've dabbled with it in past: installed it and set up a gui and got a solid desktop, but i've never used it for an extended period of time as a main desktop.

Theme's just Human. I try all sorts of others but always end up back at the bog-standard.

Wallpaper's from Eboy (http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/category/object/product-tags/pixorama/).

Icons at the bottom are all pretty standard I think. Icons at the top I made myself for my console emulators.

It creates thumbnails andyou can see it in full if you click it.

I've looked into the matter. The image and the link are fine.

What is happening is that if you click the "flag image" link on the hosting site, you would be reporting the image as something bad that should not be posted there. They use "child pornography" as an example of what bad stuff is.

There is nothing wrong with Mr Mark's post, picture, or link.

mogrify -format png -thumbnail 200 PATH_TO_IMAGE
rot=0
let "rot = $RANDOM % 20 - 10"
convert PATH_TO_IMAGE \
-bordercolor white -border 6 \
-bordercolor grey60 -border 1 \
-background none -rotate $rot \
-background black \( +clone -shadow 60x4+4+4 \) +swap \
-background none -flatten \
-depth 8 -quality 95 PATH_TO_IMAGE
(Do it to a thumbnail, mine is in a script I wrote to automatically take a format a bunch of screenshots and which makes the thumbs itself)

Ubuntu satanic gutsy theme
Modified the panels a little bit to make them transparent.
As far as the browser it's Swiftweasel and Stylish making the Ubuntu forums black.

I've written one, it dumps all thumbnails in /home/username/thumbnails (make sure it excists!).
Move the content of the tar.gz to /home/user/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and you're done ;)

My desktop :)

btw, Mr Mark: I don't get that message, I guess it's ok.
More information? Icon set and wallpaper specifically.

[kaivalagi]

Sure, but it's setup for xmms2. You'll either need to install and use xmms2 or change the variables to work with your own choice of player

You'll also need to download the StyleBats font

A very default openbox setup, using a customized fbpanel.

Also does anyone use sudo sudo shutdown -h now command to shutdown, it's odd but it doesn't work from openbox menu but works fine from terminal. Any clue what the problem is?

<item label="Reboot">
<action name=”Execute”> <execute>sudo shutdown -r now</execute> </action></item>
<item label=”Shut down”>
<action name=”Execute”> <execute>sudo shutdown -h now</execute> </action></item>

You can do it with fbgrab.
It's a little harder to do if you want to capture a running program (like htop) but you can still use fbgrab
In another tty, run

sleep 2; cp /dev/fb/0 fb.dump
(The sleep is to give you time to switch to the tty you want a screenshot of)
Then

fbgrab -w 1280 -h 800 -b 32 -f fb.dump something.png
Obviously substitute proper numbers / filenames here.

If you just want to take a shot of the current tty (after running a program or something)

fbgrab somefile.png
is all you need.
