Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

Hope La Scapigliata does it for someone.

Well, not to the point of erectile function, but yes. And cheers, get down with those mad skillz!

@dobbie, cheers!

The default Gnome wallpaper, it changes hue during the day. I like it in the evening, not so much during the day.

It does get awfully bleached-out-looking then, doesn't it.

-edit- Just thought of it, you could rename or symlink to a different pic in whatever folder that's in, couldn't you? Can't remember where it is, maybe in/usr/share/gnome-shell/backgrounds?

If you have any doubts about sanity, just walk away.

Since everybody's nuts, forever alone, n'est–ce pas? (jk, I know your talking about relative sanity)

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

It's /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds, but it's an XML file determining fade-ins for three different pictures. I'd have to do some gimping. I guess I'll just switch to a different wallpaper when I get bored.

Playing with Statler, the AwOken iconset, conky, terminus and moc themes. The fun with #! is priceless and yes endless and so easy to do...

play, have fun

I'm in the mood for playing now. So: Statler again on the same poor little machine running scrotwm (spectrwm on waldorf) now...

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

I "surprised" my girflfriend and set up #! on her laptop while she wasn't home. It's a pretty old machine and had win xp (still has, as a secondary OS), but that crap was slow and it drove her crazy.

She's a first-time linux user btw, and that's the machine she mainly uses for internet and text processing and whatnot. She has loved #! so far!
Conky isn't on autostart, so it's not normally on. I just like to have it if I'm on her laptop for some reason.

edit: made thumbnails link straight to the image.

Very nice desktop, i like the layout of it all and how the icons for the main programs are easily available. They're  on the desktop yet they don't overpower it.

Oh man. I would probably have to kill somebody if they "surprised" me like that.

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

mosesgunn: That's waldorf, and i'm using the default crunchbang flavored faenza that comes with it.
But i guess one just downloads the faenza set from deviantart or whereever it's hosted, and extracts them to usr/share/icons/

Oh man. I would probably have to kill somebody if they "surprised" me like that.

Yeah, me too, but she isnt in to computers much so she didn't  really care.
Just told her i "updated her computer in to linux"

Sticking close to the defaults. Trying out conky, not sure if it's useful or not.

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

Hmm.  the icons in my tint2 do not reflect the faenza icons.  very strange.  Does anyone know how i can make the faenza icons show up in tint2?

Thanks!

I tried a complete color scheme similar to that palette once; almost went mad from such a deep red!   It does look cool for a while though.

If you decide it isn't, you'll be part of a very small minority. omns and I are the only two here that I'm aware of who almost never use conky.  On my desktop, I surely have no use for it. I can see it's value on a portable device for monitoring core temp, battery life and network traffic, but I use xfce4-panel and it has applets to handle those. If I think a process is bogging down memory, I open lstask. The one month that I did post some screenshots with conky was just to remind myself what I was missing, and because some of the lua stuff really does look fantastic. To each his own.

Hah, I hope I don't.

Same here, as far as I know. It's not like I actually need to see anything conky's showing me, or at least need conky to show it. I do, however, think it looks cool, and it's been fun to play with, so I think I'll keep it around for a bit.

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

I never use conky in desktop environments either. It's useful with a small window manager when you have no power manager and nm-applet, to get info. otherwise it's just BLOAT.

rkwurth, can you please tell me what is the font you are using in your web browser? It looks very neat and I'd like to try it out!

I love #! more than my own kids. I told them and they sympathized.

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

@kiiroitori, the Crunchbang Forum font? That is almost certainly Trebuchet, install it, Verdana and a few other web fonts via apt...

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

The font list...

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

@kiiroitori- Hey, thanks. It's just the default font for this page using Google Chrome on Crunchbang (the 101512 iso). The same page is rendered differently in iceweasel and chrome, and I'm not sure why.

I haven't installed any extra fonts (except unicode and some asian ones as per black ivan's font guide).

Thanks for the quick reply! 
Times New Roman? Didn't expect that! This font rendering thing has always been a bit misterious to me...

EDIT: I just checked and that cannot be Times New Roman, check the letter g for example at wikipedia

^That and the bloat part is the best.

Re: November 2012 Screenshot Thread

kiiroitori- Sorry, I spoke too soon. I don't think it's Times New Roman, that's just what's listed as my 'standard' font in chrome's settings. My browser setup is: standard- TNR, serif- Serif, sans-serif- Sans, and fixed-width- Monospace. I'm not too clear on what fonts are picked by who, etc... It's one of the reasons I like crunchbang, I don't have to fool around with the fonts!
