Slackman`s Second

FVWM Themes Config Archive
1

Hi,
the last days Ive tried out a new config with different Ideas from all the good works here! And this is the (not absolut final) result (but fare away from stable) ; [url=http://www.mitglied.lycos.de/scratchlinux/Screenshots/03-02-2006.png]Slackmans-Second[/url]

I was impressed by a few Ideas from other users here, impressed from Voiders Pager, Brices mailchecker and also from stonecrests FvwmMpd.

I really hope that you`re not angry about that I have stolen your ideas :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

A few things you cant see on this screenshot, so for example the tray at this moment is "kicker" but I change to xystray the next days. Now I do not need any KDE-Trayicons sinve Im using FvwmMpd g

A little crazy feature is that the icons from my Menubuttons change to real icons if the mouse points them (really crazy effect, I like to play with it :slight_smile: )

O.K., I hope you like it a bit, my Conf has to be cleaned up before I post it, I`ll try to do it the next week.

Special thanks to Voider, Brice and stonecrest for their ideas and work which I have used in my config.

Greetings

New Screenshot with new minimal changes :slight_smile:

(3.8 MB)
I hope you like it :slight_smile:
If you have problems or tipps or something else please pn me or write it in this thread.
Before using take a look at the Readme-File in the package and adjust all variables in the config.
I`m using a resulution of 1280x1024 and do not know what happens with other resolutions than mine.

Another Edit: (18-03-2006)
Heres a new Screenshot with little changes in the config, now Im using 2 instances of conky, one on Desktop and another swallowed in my Topbar. And now Im using a new Deco for Titlebars, take a look :slight_smile: [url=http://www.mitglied.lycos.de/scratchlinux/Screenshots/15-03-06.png]Screenshot-Update[/url] Ill change the package the next days and try to include a german documentation.

Greetings

i like your conky conf… good job!

Hi,
thx for the reply :slight_smile:
The config is currently changing day by day :slight_smile:
Latest changes are transluent menus (looks good and now its better to change wallpapers) and the bg-color of the topbar. Now the bg is black because of conkys window. And I have added mount-Scripts which I use with buttons.
So, if I click on the button (named usb) my usb-Device is mounting automaticly and konqueror (yes, I"m using some kde-apps) is starting up in this Directory. Another Click on the button stops konqueror and the Device is umounting.
I think it`s a little bit more handy.

Today or tomorrow Im planning to change the decor and then Ill post new Screenshots and the new config.

Greetings

what?

i’m looking the way to have different font in different menus (i want small fonts in wallpaper browser)

can i have your mount script? i’ll modify it to work with rox…
see ya! :smiley:

Hi,
first, what I mean with conky is:
In the topbar Im using conky as a kind of netmonitor. And conky is not accepting a bitmap as background. Because of that ther is a small black border around conkys window.
And with a complete black Topbar-Background I think it looks better than with the gray background.

And here`s a screenshot with the new trans-menu:
Menu

And the (very very simple) mount-script:

#!/bin/sh if [[ $(cat /etc/mtab|grep sda1) ]]; then umount /mnt/usb; killall konqueror /mnt/usb else mount /mnt/usb; konqueror /mnt/usb; fi

You see, it`s extremly simple but it works clean here :slight_smile:

Greetings

you can make it transparent, not? it seems to me that i tried that solution with fvwm colorset and works… but i don’t swear :unamused:

7

Hi,
Ive tried out it but then conky is using the root-window as background and not the Topbars background-pixmap.

Another Option could be to use a colorset.

i meant translucent… sorry! Gentoo FVWM package has translucency patch built in (thanks to taviso)… if you play with Slackware i don’t know if you have it
see ya :exclamation:

Hi,
