Thank you!

@djendreizak, love that tint2 config!

BSPWM + a proof of concept on the bottom right showing off some of the WM's features

OK I have three to start September off with ...

Crunchbang Waldorf: still being tweaked ...

tint2 stripped down to just the [Systray] above the dice time, dice date on the right.
nvidia driver not yet installed, sensors are in place.

LinuxBBQ - Bakewell: amd64, OpenBox, no DM, no GTK3, minimal

I believe it was machinebacon that put this little gem together. I'm just getting into all the cli apps that come with it.
AWESOME!

My Debian SID install ... slated to be over written with a fresh new install of ???? I honestly don't know yet, but not until #! is running the way I want it.

Again with tint2 stripped down to [Systray], because centre click on the mouse gives me what I need.

@sector11 this is the part in which i ask what are the dice in the bottom left? is that an application changer?

demifiend · 2013-09-01 19:51:21

Here's something a little more advanced. I wanted Conky to display the song currently playing in Cmus, which required scraping the output of cmus-remote. I was able to manage it with this script.

#!/bin/bash

# A script to scrape the output of "cmus-remote -Q" to 
# display the current song in Conky. Yes, I know I could
# just use a player app for which Conky includes native 
# support. I like Cmus.

data=`cmus-remote -Q | grep -m 4 -E 'artist|album|title|date' | cut -d' ' -f3- | tr '\n' '|'`
artist=`echo $data | cut -d'|' -f1`
album=`echo $data | cut -d'|' -f2`
title=`echo $data | cut -d'|' -f3`
date=`echo $data | cut -d'|' -f4`

echo \"$title\" by $artist from \"$album\" \($date\)

Because some of the bands i like (*cough*Coheed and Cambria*cough*) pair long song titles with long album titles), the output of the above script wouldn't fit on my screen with the diagnostic info. That meant two Conky instances, each with their own config. I've got a script for that, which my Openbox autostart invokes.

You can find my config files and shell scripts on Github.

They are both conkys

Time: 3 if white is 3am if grey is 3pm (15:00)
Second set of dice 10x minutes - obviously only goes to 5
Third set: minutes - goes to 9.

Date on the right: months always grey,
2nd set - 10x days highest = 3,
3rd set - days - highest = 9

@ PackRat - that left panel is scary! Nice shot though

@ djendreizak elegant - love the wall.

@ Ututo - all you're missing is a couple of ants.

@ earsplit - someday I'll do stuff like that.
- - - what wallpaper is that?

@ demifiend - very slick!

Wodanford · 2013-09-01 21:59:59

Back to basic, preparing the desktop for some astronomy related things. I'd like to get my hands on a decent lua script that takes info from heavens-above.com. So far I haven't found any, so this should turn into a fun little project. (Little...) I found the tint2 script somewhere and tweaked it a little to better suit my needs.

Heh, looks funny on a website with the exact same background color.

Thanks, @Sector11. I updated my cmus-now-playing.sh script to display whether Cmus is actually running. If Cmus is running, but not playing anything, the script will display a different message. Same if Cmus isn't running.

Well, here is my first shot for September. Looks pretty awesome to me. Hopefully there will be a lot of colorful shots like this in the future Sorry, I couldn`t help myself 8o

Thank you ... a bunch of images and a WHOLE BUNCH of ${if_match}statements. Nothing else!

superwow · 2013-09-02 02:56:51

my first #! screenshots. simplistic right now. i need the conky right now so as not to forget my keybindings and just to keep an eye on things. i'll probably config the conky later on to be very minimal and under the tint2 bar. 2 weeks post #!ing my laptop, clean & busy....

Share config files, maybe?

I'm about to install BSPWM and you're like a god or something.
