Re: February 2010 Screenshot thread
It's been a while since I contributed to these threads. Once i get my new laptop, I shall be using linux often again, not just in VMs, so expect more later. Until then, here is the VM i've been using, its mainly just for programming (hence why the only things I have on adeskbar are firefox, geany, and term)
Also, to avoid confusion, thats a very minimal tint2 on the top left, and adeskbar in the center.

Re: February 2010 Screenshot thread
No interest in copyright debates even though the thread is labeled as started by me ![]()
here is an image I took from a site where people share images and a conky that I made. I used an image in the conky that was shared on another site. I used a GTK that was shared elsewhere and I made the openbox theme from a theme shared elsewhere. My system uses many many parts all shared from other places. I did not pay a penny. The laptop is my wife's old one and is all I have.
EDIT: well the above blue 'glass' attempt is a fail I think and I'm preferring the original look...
..so bit of a wasted post here, oh well.

Re: February 2010 Screenshot thread
Been messing about learning lua and making this frame for conky, seems to have turned out ok but everything needs to be hacked to fit in (ie tint2 and a load of gotos for the text).
Just need to find things to put on the other two sides now, and if im really board make it so the curved corners adjust when my terminal drops down ![]()

yeah can't make up my mind whether its a nice spring time scene or just girly, 'pretty' suggests to me girly.
its just one big window, but i W-space anyway, heres the code:
--[[
was originally a script by londonali1010 (2009)
although almost completely rewritten by me, Ben Holroyd
This script draws a background to the Conky window. It covers the whole of the Conky window, but you can specify rounded corners, if you wish.
To call this script in Conky, use (assuming you have saved this script to ~/scripts/):
lua_load ~/scripts/draw_bg.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg
]]
--size of corners
CORNER=60
-- thickness of frame (left, right, top, bottom)

was too bad actually, considering ive never used lua before, or cairo. its just the final bits and bobs like the settings that seem to change when you restart the computer, grr.

Re: February 2010 Screenshot thread
@kmason
Very nice screenshot homes!!
Thanks! I actually have several wallpapers on rotation, one made by me (see my thread in this forum), and the rest from http://customize.org.
The other parts, I can offer configs for, if wanted.
The .bashrc uses the hostname for the figlet on the top, so it changes dynamically from computer to computer.

Re: February 2010 Screenshot thread
i usually download wallpapers from your( zwopper) collection.
you are a great artist !! keep it up !!
you might not remember but i can never forget that you were the one who advised me to use linux mint 6 xfce (about 1.5 years ago...)
and then i started rolling from gnome to xfce to lxde and now to openbox.....ha ha !
thanks a lot for your contribution to this world of opensource
you are certainly an inspiration.

It s your fault ;-)
We admire you so much that we all want to try Debian testing also ;-)

Seems to be a growing number of Debian Testing desktops. A great choice for a Crunchbang style setup
I'm on Debian too (was Sid and now Sid/Squeeze) and I took a great amount from the work of corenominal, probably the entire inspiration was from #!. It was fellow user Slipshot who put me onto the Debian base idea.
Now though I'm wondering about a new base... Wonder what?
Erm, as I seem to be off-topic here, I'll just say - "hey, great work on the customizing everyone!"
Oh, Debian...

Ho yes ...
You can see 2 photos on my screenshoots : "Photo-random.py" and "Banshee-cover.py", some great scripts made by ADcomp, thanks to him ![]()
