well, they’re not really goodies, but after a little less than a week with fvwm, and using openbox/fluxbox/previously, i figured i finally had something presentable, but sill far from what i envision what my desktop will look like in 1-2 weeks. FVWM should be the evangelist for converting Windows users to linux!!!
simple, only transparency is in the thumbs and terms. my laptop screen isn’t very big, so i need to use real estate efficiently
anyway, i will post my config in due time, i want to get a few panels together, possibly get a cooler title-bar, better functionality. gotta check out taviso’s dynamic menus, he’s RIDICULOUS… it’s pretty obvious i have nothing really outstanding, thumbnails and WallpaperBrowser are Taviso’s. Trayer for system tray, xmms (shaded) next to it.
i think the coolest part of this screenshot are the firefox and thunderbird icons…
sorry for the late reply, i totally forgot i had a post here!
anyway, i’ve completely changed my desktop look, i basically used taviso’s (aka GENIUS) fvwm2rc (google it), which the previous one was almost entirely based off of anyway, and trimmed down and changed things to my liking.
the tarball of my config + all icons I used (mostly in 48x48, but some 128x128 for the special non-gant ones) is at cs.washington.edu/homes/jtan … wm.tar.bz2 (about 7 megs).
if you’re wondering what’s in the top left,… it’s an advanced, customizable system monitoring program called conky, and i am proudly on its dev team. we are releasing 1.3.0 this weekend… check out an almost-there unofficial version (updated 2-3 times a day until official release) at cs.washington.edu/homes/jtan … rig.tar.gz
(source tarballs), or debian-based users can get cs.washington.edu/homes/jtan … 1_i386.deb
and just dpkg -i it. please try, it’s cool
join us at #conky on irc if you need help or have bugs to report or something else. something.there’s almost always someone around to help out, even though our dev team is really small.
