November 2009 Screenshot Thread (Page 3 of 11)

I've also seen some people using Conky to call a bash script that uses notify-send to send an icon to the notification area and play a sound!  I don't know how to do it myself, but it's an interesting idea!

Ah, yes, as I thought, it's one of the ones that I copied from my KDE 4.3 install before I ditched it and went all Crunchy/Bangy

Already posted this in my recent intro post, but thought I'd just share here.

Still pretty standard. Will probably create a nicer wallpaper when I'm free and will definitely check out (and politely steal) all the cool conky setups in the conky threads!!

For now...

VILLA 21, here is the link for the icon set I used:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … ent=101979
it has most mime-types and common icons, however, the author decided not to include application icons (it's explained in the README or somewhere).....hope this helps.

oh, and iggykoopa, how do you get a poem on your conky? I'm assuming it's changeable.....am I wrong?  I'm studying poetry right now at college and would love to have a poem-a-day conky thing.

Brand spanking new to #! and conky but here I go, tips would be appreciated.

Using one of the default backgrounds I thought was nifty, and RED!!

With the conky stuff it's not that bad because the weather only updates every two hours and the tao te ching quotes only update every hour. The album art is every three seconds and the top bar is every second. Just seperate information you don't need updated frequently and it helps a lot.

for the quotes I'm using fortune, I just found someone that had already put the tao te ching in fortune format. If you look around you should be able to find some poetry for it as well. If not it's not that difficult to format it yourself.

oh I'm also using avant-window-navigator not adeskbar.(adeskbar is great but I wanted the system tray applet)

I forget if this is where I got it from, but here's a link that I found http://www.geocities.com/kensanata/tao.tar.gz . If I remember right you extract that to /usr/share/games/fortune then launch fortune like:
${execi 360 fortune tao}
you'll have to doublecheck if it's tao, use whatever the name of the .dat file is from the tar file. The 360 makes it change once an hour, you can change that as you like.

The desktop background that you requested: http://wall.alphacoders.com/images/Abst … l-7201.jpg
Although I got bored with that and switched to this one: http://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?p=A … mp;i=10073

@omns
Nice!! ... did you use the Flame render plugin found in GIMP?
I like that tool, but hardly use it. Never managed to get them to look as sharp as yours.
Oh... I checked out your DeviantArt gellery (hope you don't mind) and really like some of your minimalist work... I may order a print in the coming months (if finances allow for it)

Still early days with Crunch Bang for me. Haven't had the time to start theming yet (although I'm quite satisfied with the stock look, tbh)

Made a new wallpaper, though.

Can someone recommend a nice, clean font style for my conky, please? ~<3

Edit:
@Piraja
Very nice combo.
I actually was thinking of a Debian + OpenBox/FluxBox combo before I settled on CrunchBang Lite for my netbook. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to get everything set up, and did you run into any problems along the way?
