I do have a complete backup of Mrs. Head_on_a_Stick's $HOME folder -- I don't enjoy pain...

I'm having a miserable afternoon; look what I'm stuck in:

I didn't think a full Cygwin installation would take this long

^ OH MY! You really do like to punish yourself don't you.
You might need this: Take as needed

For the last few weeks I have been working on a desktop of my own (just a panel, menu and window manager). Today, the window manager has become feature-full enough to use as a daily driver and it has just taken over my laptop from Gnome Shell: he's the captain now

If you are interested, you can find the panel and the window manager on my GitHub: arek-panel and arek-wm. Note that while they are stable for me, I have not used them much and thus they may crash at any given moment. Also, many features are not yet implemented in both projects, but/so all feedback is welcome!

^ Cool This looks like it could become something DWM-like with Wayland compatibility.

I do like the approach of writing it as a plugin/'driver' for libmutter; this surely takes a lot of work off your shoulders when compared to doing everything manually with Xlib/libxcb. Seems like the GNOME people have brought forth a really nice framework with this.

Unfortunately, the deps for libmutter are very GNOMEy so I won't use it (wouldn't have anyways, I've made my own thing

Thanks Wayland compatibility was indeed a major factor in the decision to go with Mutter. I'm also just a sucker for eye candy Obviously its control is DWM-like, as it's my tiling wm of choice!

It's a struggle at times, because Mutter does not expose some of its internals (MetaWindow's "below" property would have been really sweet to have*) and because documentation is quite lacking. Fortunately the source itself is readily available and not hard to grasp.

* I'm planning on sending some patches upstream but I doubt they'll be accepted.

I expected this comment and I understand. I've been able to let go of the urge to go truly minimalist (not saying it's a bad thing) and I'm enjoying GNOME-land quite alot

I just found out I could install openoffice (not libreoffice because there are dependencies+conflicts issues with gentoo unstable) binary package instead of compiling from source (~10 hours of compilage). After installing it, and feeling like a genius, I remembered just how horribly long it takes for openoffice to load, and after waiting for ~1 minute (installed in an ssd) I was grossed out by the looks of it. The theme I'm using really didn't go well with it.

Luckily I never use it (Lyx ftw) , it's there just for when I have do some odd presentation or someone sends me something in doc formats.

I am liking Slackware so much it has "graduated" to my own laptop:

It really is great -- thanks to the lack of dependency management I'm running XFCE4 without GVFS & NetworkManager

Just Awesome, what a incredible Distro

-edit- Has postimg.org always scaled down and compressed larger images? Those full size PNGs look like crap and should be 1366x768.

Have you been looking at one of my setups?

...although I like a bit more contrast for readability, that is a sweet color combo

Sector11 · 2015-03-27 21:19:06

OK, this is still CrunchBang Waldorf - but with a touch of the BunsenLabs Conky zenity script I've been working on:

click to start, click to stop a conky
you can click a running conky and a non running conky
- running conky will shut down
- non-running conky will start

and another zenity script to edit one or more conkys.

And highlighted in my OB Menu is the Conky Switcher OpenBox Pipemenu. That's really cool, give it a run.

Other then that my screens don't change much - just the wallpapers.

My workhorse, completely Solarized:

Using the todo.sh script for the conky on the left. It absolutely changed my life once I got it configured.

Where? In Geany, the menus or the conky?

Also, what is that calendar thing you have going there? Is it a Google thing? If so
I've just updated my "reminder" conky with help from Kino.

Rainlendar

For those interested in running Rainlendar on Debian Wheezy, you'll need an earlier version found here. Later versions require an updated libc6. Also note that Rainlendar will not currently run on Debian Jessie because the Debian devs pulled libjpeg8 in January. Current version of Rainlendar should run fine on Sid/Unstable.
