@Gutter
For now I'm with Fedora.
I was bored with my Arch and Fedora is a distribution that I've always liked.
The same as @el_koraco, the new installer Anaconda is crap. sad

About my windows manager, I will not make any type of packages, for now
this is just an experimental fork of dwm for my needs. I am not so good programmer sad

What are the changes you have applied since I asked last time? big_smile

EDIT: Btw, I did steal your EWMH desktop specifications for my own project (currently just a stripped monsterwm) I have this feeling I'll be taking more code from you wink

@sevensage: thanks! I can't understand how I managed to use fluxbox for so long without using compton altogether! big_smile

mosesgunn · 2013-02-18 22:49:55

@sevensage - what are the advantages of fluxbox over openbox?

One thing some people like about it is it requires a little bit less configuration, specifically fluxbox has an automatically updated menu by default. It also has its own panel, whereas openbox comes panel-less by default. I think its also configured by plain-text instead of xml? could be wrong, that's also not necessarily an advantage.

Bradi · 2013-02-18 23:58:39

Yes, the cfg files are plaintext which makes them more readable and easier to understand.
Besides, you can configure many things such as panel properties and window behaviour directly from the rightclick menu, without editing cfg files. So it is more user-friendly than openbox in my opinion.

Windows can be tabbed, like websites in firefox, which is good if you tend to have many of them open.
Besides the panel, you get a built-in run dialog (like gmrun) with fluxbox.

The downsides (in my view):
- the panel is not as flexible as tint2
- the defaults are meh when compared to #!'s excellent openbox configuration - it takes a few hours of work to get a setup that feels just as good

Nothing fancy. Just playing with the latest respin of PeppermintOS-Three. Blazingly fast, and it dresses up quite well. I kinda like it:)

Arch + Xmonad. Dzen + Conky applets for lots of things! And in a real pro animated gif =] smile

I've been using it for a couple days now, I really like using tabbed windows but the added configuration settings on windows such as remembering window position/dimensions and being able to save the settings is huge in my book, especially for those open dialogues in openbox that would always blow open fullscreen. I can now resize them place them anywhere on the screen and save the settings and they remain that way for future use, All with just a few clicks of the mouse, Nothing to edit! is aces with me.

Edit: @bricomaz, cheers
@earsplit, nice dude

Looks great. I like what you've done with dzen2 (and conky). Even the silver dock icons looks good against the wallpaper, and I say this as someone who isn't a big fan of docks in general. Bonus points given for listening to The Trane. Bonus points revoked for ruining the aesthetic sensibility of your post with that yellow smiley. =P

@sevensage - thanks

and speaking of tabbed windows -

@mosesgun - tabbed windows is the main advantage for me in using fluxbox (i3, peckwm, and fvwm also have that capability).

@earsplit - that is really slick - how about posting the configs in the Xmonad thread. I'm not sure if there is a thread for dzen2 configs.

Thanks for the Gamera vid, btw. Aah, the memories of monster battles. Shame the real Japan turned out to be nothing like that.
Check this out: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gamera
and also click on the links in the "See Also" section. They're hilarious!!

Here is my first screenshot, very simple, but that's how I like it - I guess that's the reason I was blown away by #!.
Best regards

Maybe I'm old, I dunno, but boy-bands sure looked much cooler back in the old days.
Megalon could double as a bad-ass rapper too, by my reckoning. Just look at those moves!!

Debian unstable is so buggy, I don't feel the inclination to use it anymore. Stable is out of the question due to antiquated systemd and Gnome configs

Have you tried wheezy? I think it's the best debian branch for desktops. I don't know about the state of the systemd implementation though.
