December 2008 Screenshot Thread

[markp1989]

Rules:
1. Forum guidelines on content apply. In other words, safe for kids and safe for work.
2. Try not to quote embedded images; take a moment to snip them out.
3. Off-topic posts will be edited or moved.
4. Thumbnail your image, or use the forum's attachment system. Full-size embedded images are annoying and will be snipped mercilessly.
5. Take a moment and tell everyone the details of your desktop, such as the theme name, the wallpaper name, the icons and any programs you're using in the image.

Enjoy!

Theme for Firefox (Or Vimperator as it were) is Full Flat, using xmobar and XMonad (config files available upon request, they're actually quite shoddy).

Not quite December in my neck of the woods, but finally got around to finishing (sort of) my Fvwm configuration.

Working on a colored modifications of my Manganite theme. I plan on making a red mod, a green mod, and an orange mod, as well as a set of light-color mods. I think my Manganite theme is a really good base to work with.

Here is my red modification so far:

Okay, I just ported my XFWM4 theme to Emerald (Painfully, I might add; Emerald manager locking up every time I changed something) so why do I keep getting these buggy transparent pixels in the titlebar?

You can see them just to the right of the actual window title.

By request of many good families... Ping.

[Twilight in Zero]

etnlIcarus, perhaps you should try porting to Metacity, and using GTK Window Decorator. Emerald is becoming deprecated anyways.

Two shots from me, light and dark. I'm using the dark version for now. I was hoping I could just use the same GTK (and metacity) for light and dark themes, but there's not enough contrast. D:

DE: GNOME
GTK: My own, called Twilight Murrina. Not published anywhere yet.
Metacity: Same as above.
Icons: GNOME
Font: Vera Sans 9, subpixel, slight autohint.

I'd try out some other fonts, and lose the hinting, but it irks me when I see mnemonic underlines that aren't horizontally aligned. Wish I could do something about that. D:

[Piraja]

Hey,

does anyone know if its possible to make and use different Conky configurations for different desktop environments and window managers, and if, then how — I mean I'm using both Gnome and Fluxbox, and as you can see, what works for one does not necessarily work for the other.

Fluxbox: http://www.aijaa.com/img/t/00207/3178769.t.png (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=3178769.png) Gnome: http://www.aijaa.com/img/t/00280/3178775.t.png (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=3178775.png)

PFA my Fluxbox and Conky configuration files. P.S.( addition/edition) You see that if I fix it in Gnome...

http://www.aijaa.com/img/t/00065/3179056.t.png (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=3179056.png) ... it's... http://www.aijaa.com/img/t/00713/3179072.t.png (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=3179072.png)

... no longer nice in Fluxbox, and vice versa. NB: in the Tarball, the Conky config file is conky.conf, but I made a .conkyrc for my home folder just a few moments ago. As always, feel free to use and modify the config files!

P.S. I decided to make a new thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6293023) on this.

P.P.S. What a stupdid question. Its obvious answer:

conky --help
and then:

conky -c ~./<my-optional-conky-config-file>

P.P.P.S. Yet, maybe I could specify the Fluxbox-specific conf-file in Fluxbox's startup file, too...

P.P.P.P.S. Yes, it worked (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6293672&postcount=2)!

P.P.P.P.P.S. PFA my .fluxbox directory. Modify it as you like!
I never use emoticons, but here's an exception that proves the rule:

Well my desktop and notebook haven't change much. But I did redo my EeeBox over the Thanksgiving weekend, a fresh install with Xubuntu 8.10 and nothing on top of it is except for Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv). It is now my media center. Boxee is cool, and it is on a path of becoming awesome. ;)

Okay, this is the final "kill fett" wallpaper, much simpler. Using pekwm w/ mirev2-grey theme and a modified overglossed gtk2. Default tint2 taskbar.

njoy.

Photobucket is being a pain for some reason. If anyone wants this wallpaper let me know.

[Mark76]

The shape is oddly familiar.

What is it?

lol you dont know who boba fett is? Nvm, if you see this guy, and he doesn't have my 20$.. blow his head off.

Yeah, I know who Bobba Fett is :p I just don't recall his "shirt" looking so ragged.

It is an emerald theme. I do have a version in lighter colors. I'm not sure how much lighter you're talking about. I could be convinced to port it to deKorator if you're interested. Here's a screenshot of the light version.

The buttons shadows looks almost perfect in this one, but comboboxes (or dropdownmenus) have a look that make me think of an entry box.

It's a style for the Stylish Firefox addon, so I don't think that it will work with Opera :(

Yeah, but can they upload Stylish styles? Is there some way of accessing what changes Stylish does to the CSS of the page and applying it in Opera?

I don't use Opera. I'm just curious. :p

Yes, you have to enable custom styles. Here's an example, dark userstyles.org:

There should be somewhere that css ( or code for this) ( add-on folder?). I'd be gratefull for file or at least name that style. Looks way better than this crapy red or black/white skin.

You should have a folder ~/.opera/styles/user/ where you can drop custom css files. To apply them to the site, you have to right click on the site and select 'Edit Site Preferences', click the Display tab and select your custom style sheet and then in the menubar click View-->Style and select user mode. It's complicated, I know, but loading greasemonkey scripts is relatively easy. Go to Tools-->Preferences-->Advanced-->Content and click the "Javascript Options" button. At the bottom there is a box, "User JS Files". You have to enter a directory. I make a directory ~/.opera/userjs/ and use that. Then on userstyles.org when you see the "Load as userjs" button, you can click that and save the file in ~/.opera/userjs/ and the next time you go to the site, it will be applied.

I was asking mrgnash for name of theme/css/code file, not for tutorial. I know how it works already ;). Question marks are there cuz I'm not sure about where FF holds its add-on files ( I'm not fan of Gecko at all).
But thank you for effort of explaining tho.

As for the Xfwm4 and GTK themes, they're tentatively called "Firesale", and I haven't released them yet. Got to nip a couple of bugs first. They might look familiar to some of you already, though.

You should have a folder ~/.opera/styles/user/ where you can drop custom css files. To apply them to the site, you have to right click on the site and select 'Edit Site Preferences', click the Display tab and select your custom style sheet and then in the menubar click View-->Style and select user mode. It's complicated, I know, but loading greasemonkey scripts is relatively easy. Go to Tools-->Preferences-->Advanced-->Content and click the "Javascript Options" button. At the bottom there is a box, "User JS Files". You have to enter a directory. I make a directory ~/.opera/userjs/ and use that. Then on userstyles.org when you see the "Load as userjs" button, you can click that and save the file in ~/.opera/userjs/ and the next time you go to the site, it will be applied.

If it's not working ( actualy that style didn't work from start), go with this tutorial( for anyone intrested) (http://www.lastfm.pl/group/Last.fm+CSS+Color+Changer/forum/30401/_/253097)
Style needs some workin on it too, tho. Bah work for later on :popcorn:.

I wish they had styles like that for Pandora Radio. :(

In Opera this style will work for any site, if you follow that link( edit script and save as CSS file).
In FireFox just edit this section


@-moz-document url
for other links in style file( you can do that via plugin options).

Could not work full but after some polishing moves can be easy done.

Cheers

Wallpaper's called Colorfast, and it's on Interfacelift.

As for the Xfwm4 and GTK themes, they're tentatively called "Firesale", and I haven't released them yet. Got to nip a couple of bugs first. They might look familiar to some of you already, though.

Thought I recognized that look, DieHard4 was pretty awesome

[jordanmthomas]

Not sure about the colors yet and I think the widgets at the top right could use some color too.

[Giant Speck]

Okay, so I decided to try out KDE 4.2 Beta 1 on Kubuntu.

So far, everything is working fine EXCEPT plasmoids on the desktop. Every time I try to add a widget to the desktop it freezes Plasma and I have to restart it.

For some reason, when I upgraded to KDE 4.2, it tried to install kde4libs-bin, but failed because it said that kde4libs-bin needed kdelibs5 (4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2), whereas kdelibs5 (4:4.1.80-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa2) is installed. The main problem with that is, is that a there are a few programs from the upgrade that rely on the newer version of kdelibs5 and would be uninstalled if I was to force-version kdelibs5.

Bottom line: It looks pretty, but doesn't work completely correctly.

Yes, it's awesome. It's a version of awesome-git that I compiled back in October, but I think the config should still work with current versions. You'll also need wicked-git installed.

I think I maybe got the config from gigamo (my theme is called gigamo-light) but I really don't remember to be perfectly honest.

Anyway, here's my .config/awesome and my .Xdefaults. If you need anything else feel free to ask. Also, the rc.lua has a few paths hardcoded in that you may need to change (I'm sure you know, I used your guide for awesome at one time). Also, I think awesome might crash if you don't have the artwiz fonts installed (or you can just change the font in the config)

Could be. I don't know Swiss geography, but the photographer states:
"This picture is taken from the Paxmal Temple above the city of Walenstadt in Switzerland." Perhaps that will help you figure it out.

Edit: After reading the wikipedia articles on both places, it doesn't seem like the two are anywhere close to each other.

With such a crisp theme, that font really isn't doing your system justice. Either adjust it's hinting or switch to a font which scales well at that size.

Can you please post your conkyrc, I'm interested in how you incorporated songbird into it.

I don't know how he's doing it, but I wrote a python script for that. See this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=925555). You have to install the dbusbird extension.

Was testing Arch's memory usage in a VM, compared to ubuntu-minimal. Once you get past the fact that Arch couldn't automatically configure it's way out of a paper bag, the results are quite staggering.

With such a crisp theme, that font really isn't doing your system justice. Either adjust it's hinting or switch to a font which scales well at that size.

Like the dock's look, though.

Well, I tried to change my hinting settings, but it didn't look like it actually changed anything. I even downloaded the proprietary font that MgOpen Cosmetica is based off of, Optima, and that looked worse.

Which part of the screen were you looking at when you made the comment about the font: the window, the screenlets, or the dock? Because I don't know if the system font hinting settings affect screenlets, and the buttons in the dock are pictures, not actual rendered text, so they show up blurry.

It could be my screen resolution... the height is only 800 pixels. The same thing pretty much occurs with every font I have at 9 pixel font size.

Pretty much all the text looks blurry here. Perhaps the font size is the issue, perhaps the font is, perhaps your DPI settings are. Regardless, it's not a big issue, it just detracts from the look of your system.

Be a man go to 8 px fonts :p :D

@etnlIcarus, i'm not sure why you find arch to have a "mind numbing installation process" (maybe installing it in a virtual machine is a different story). i took almost all the automatic configuration options and found it pretty simple.

this is dwm, htop and urxvt, with a tasteful wallpaper.

Nice, although I've been leaning towards mrxvt lately.

I took almost all the automatic configuration options, then had to scour the Arch wiki and forums to fix all the stuff it screwed up. I started installing it last night and it took until this afternoon before I had a working graphical environment.

What was screwed up? VMs usually have fairly nondescript hardware requirements, and it's not too complicated of a process...

/me wonders if this should be split to the Arch subforum

Well, I can't figure it out. So I'm going to blame it on my screen resolution and be done with it. I think it looks fine. :)

And not be able to see my text? No way!

I admire your persistence. I got Arch installed and booted to a functioning command line, but the package manager refused to work; had internet access (could ping other sites) and could access the chosen mirror from the other computer. Scoured the Arch sites for about an hour then went back to Debian.

Anyhow: Xubuntu 8.10, Openbox, tint2 and some slightly new conkies. Finally got around to setting up lm-sensors.

Arch, was the first Linux distro I ever used. I had X and the package manager working almost immediately after install. I had no idea what I was doing though, and in the end my system was a mess, so I used Ubuntu for a few months to learn how to do things, then I went distro hopping and ended up back on Arch. Got it working the first try when I went back :).

Anyway, your package manager may not have been working because you probably didn't select a mirror properly on install. If you didn't you have to go into /etc/pacman.d/ and there will be a file for each repo, containing a list of all the mirrors. Uncomment a mirror for each one, then run pacman -Syu and it will create /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

Yeah, that happened to me before.
