[ Closed ] #! CrunchBang Linux Desktop Screenshots (Page 28 of 45)

Hey Stopie, I know... Maybe I will look for a nice little widget, sooner or later, but now the clock's broken because some stupid hooligan stoned it (see my edit's of the previous post). Will have to wait.

P.S. Suggestions for the clock widget are welcome. Cairo-clock might work, but it draws all kinds of Compiz stuff with it (I tried it on my laptop, running Openbox on top of Ubuntu).

Well no wonder those pictures looked so familiar, like I had been there

HANNA (without "h" in the end) likes green and #!
Also know as ultraturquoise online / #! last.fm / #! DeviantART / U / Q

I have screen-size envy....

I finely took to the plunge and replaced my ubuntu install with #!, and am really liking it so far.  The wallpaper background is a picture I took on my road trip last week. It's of Eisenhower tunnel just west of Denver, Colorado USA.  Apparently it is the highest car tunnel in the world. 

Here's my first attempt at a custom conky config.  I did have some trouble tho.  I was getting some truncating at the bottom.  I tried increasing the text buffer size but that didn't work, so I decreased the font size.  Not exactly what I wanted.  What I'm I doing wrong?

# set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background
background yes

# Use Xft?
use_xft yes

# Xft font when Xft is enabled
#xftfont Trebuchet MS:size=9
xftfont Sans:size=7

# Text alpha when using Xft
xftalpha 1

# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 1.0

# This is the number of times Conky will update before quitting.
# Set to zero to run forever.
total_run_times 0

own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
#own_window_type override
own_window_type desktop
#own_window_type normal #use this if you want a nice shadow to appear around conky

# If own_window is yes, these window manager hints may be used
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

# Minimum size of text area
minimum_size 150 5

# Maximum width
maximum_width 150

# Draw shades?
draw_shades yes

# Draw outlines?
draw_outline no

# Draw borders around text
draw_borders no

# Draw borders around graphs
draw_graph_borders no

# Stippled borders?
# stippled_borders 8

# border margins
# border_margin 2

# border width
# border_width 1

# Default colors and also border colors
default_color white
default_shade_color black
default_outline_color white

# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right
#alignment none

# Gap between borders of screen and text
# same thing as passing -x at command line
gap_x 12
gap_y 20

# Subtract file system buffers from used memory?
no_buffers yes

# set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase
uppercase no

# number of cpu samples to average
# set to 1 to disable averaging
cpu_avg_samples 2

# Force UTF8? note that UTF8 support required XFT
override_utf8_locale no

# text_buffer_size 2000

Thank you kBang! You're right about the font: it looks good in larger sizes but for the date it does not work. How about replacing Clubland (that's the clock font) with Ozone (both from dafont.com)... like this.

There is a certain information overload on my desktop. As a pastime, you can count the different ways of displaying what MPD is playing.

P.S. A revision

P.P.S. And one more time...

P.P.P.S. I have been replacing too big images (from tinypic[sic!], which does not provide thumbnail URL:s by default — sorry for my laziness!) with links...

Hi
I just start to use #!
And this is my first post here
And look on my desktop

I've always really liked that wallpaper. Welcome to the forums

Hmm... Stopie's screenshot seems to have vanished,  at least for me.

Jdugan, your tunnel photo is a perfect wallpaper for #!

You mean the barcode one? Strange, I'm still seeing it.

Your metro paper is starting to grow on me.  How did you get the lyrics thing so dang tall in post 686?  My conky seems to stop halfway down and starts to cut off text.

I have more photos from my vacation that I think will make good wallpaper but I haven't had time to do the image editing.   Maybe this weekend.

Now it has re-appeared for me, too.

This time it's not Conky but NCMPCPP running in the Tilda terminal. I have used also Lyricsdownloader in Conky, but it does not work perfectly in #!.  Somehow the window size is not changed according to line length as it should be (yes, I have set the maximum_width correctly, etc.). I'm saying "in CrunchBang" because I have used the same configuration files also in an Openbox setup running on top of the "regular" Ubuntu, with no such problems.

So there seems to be an issue with Conky in CrunchBang: also in my present left-hand "basic" Conky window, the bottom lines of the MPD part are occasionally cut off, after I start MPD manually... This is a bit complicated, and it is also surprising that (or if) the issue occurs only with CrunchBang and, as it seems, not generally with Openbox. Might be a reason for a bug report?

P.S. (a few minute later): I think it was at this forum that someone just complained that Conky gets "truncated" towards the bottom... P.P.S. Silly me! It was in your post #687, Jdugan! So I don't think you did anything wrong, but we seem to have a bug in our hands...?
