Well, I wasn't familiar with xmms2 but after an experiment I got most of the xmms2 variables (tested the common ones like $xmms2_artist, _title, _smart, _duration, _genre, _size with the only broken one being _timesplayed, but I didn't test them all) functioning properly in conky using the following from that thread you linked to on ubuntuforums.org:

Now, let's build conky.

1. Take care of dependencies:
Code:

sudo apt-get install libxmmsclient-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxext-dev libxdamage-dev libxft-dev libglib2.0-dev

2. Download and extract conky:
Code:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/conky/conky-1.4.9.tar.bz2 && tar xjvf conky*.tar.bz2

3. cd into conky directory

4.
Code:

./configure --enable-xmms2 --disable-mpd
make
sudo make install

6. See if it worked!:
Code:

conky

It seems, although conky has inbuilt variables for handling xmms2, you are actually required to both install certain dependencies and configure conky to enable that xmms2 support.

So, uninstall the repo version of conky that comes with CrunchBang and follow the above. Hopefully that'll get it working for you.

conky doesn't have native Rhythmbox support. The reason simply copying that old text isn't working for you is because you're missing the Python script it's referencing.

Check out this thread on ubuntuforums.org and install the Python script by following those instructions.

Quod Libet and VLC because they both just work.

MPD, Rhythmbox, and MoC have all given me grief in the past.

Funny, that uninstalled gnome-power-manager for me. Worked otherwise, though.

Fresh 9.04 install, forgot to backup my wallpapers folder. I just realized nothing's changed, it's the same setup.

Just installed it. Everything seems to work alright for me so far.

Thanks for putting the .iso together.

I like it. Pretty simple.

More verbosely, Hanna touched on all the points that are also relevant to me;  Linux is fun in a way Windows never was. I enjoy tweaking and learning about it, I prefer how it functions compared to the alternatives and despite the occasional hiccup (Sonata and Opera, I'm looking at you), and I admit I feel a certain small amount of satisfaction in simply being a Linux user. I also despise Apple and feel fairly indifferent towards Microsoft.

I mucked about with Linux for a few years but always maintained a Windows partition for school and games. It was only after discovering CrunchBang that I decided to run Linux and only Linux, and I remain perfectly satisfied with that decision.

I know it's not quite what you're looking for but you could always run trayer, giving you the system tray without the panel.

Come to think of it, I have that weirdo pixel as well.

My solution was to change to a white theme, lol.

Conky font: HandVetica
tint2 + trayer

Any comments appreciated.  wink

Hah, I clicked to say I like your desktop before even seeing that my conky inspired yours. There's a joke about vanity in there somewhere.

I very much like that wallpaper, and the font you chose. I'd $alignr the time, but that's just me. Looks good.

That's a very nice wallpaper. Nice colour contrast, looks a little bit surreal at times.

Glad it worked for you.

The unshade binding seems a bit redundant as shading is also bound to the mouse wheel. I suppose it's for mice lacking wheels and trackpads and such.

If you simply don't want to maintain an account at any image host, these are two sites that don't require you to sign up:

Some fora offer the option to add images as attachments so you don't have to host them elsewhere, which is probably what you're after. This forum however, doesn't.

Alt+LeftClick is bound to roll down a rolled up window when executed on the title bar.

<mousebind button="A-Left" action="Click">
<action name="Unshade"/>
</mousebind>

I believe that's it, about halfway through rc.xml. Just search for "left" and you'll get to it soonish.

If not, maybe it's:

<mousebind button="A-Left" action="Press">
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
</mousebind>

If dragging is involved, then try:

<mousebind button="A-Left" action="Drag">
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>

These are all located together in the file.
