Very slowly working on a new conky......



Did I even post a scrot for July?

Finally had some time to pay attention to my own system......

No real changes - trying out a pager app written in python -  neap; Works in the fluxbox system tray and tint2:



neap is written in python and you can use mouse buttons 1 and 3 to change desktops

had to install python-xlib as dependency.

Very nice PackRat! Love that wallpaper....


Dizzie.... adequate job I suppose

@ PackRat

Nice... what exactly do you use neap for?  Would it be worth including in the VSIDO builds?

[VastOne]

Pager = switch between desktops... is that it's only function?

[PackRat]

@vastone

yes, it's just a desktop switcher that sits in the system tray. Desktop can be changed by mouse click, but IMO the app is too small for mouse clicking - and I can't get the geometry option working; switching desktops with key binding is way more efficient. Also, since tint2 can be configured to look and act like a pager, no need to use neap with tint2. And tint2 configured as a pager is much more useful in *box or fvwm. I checked out neap because of the previous discussion in the wm configuration thread.

I'm getting the feeling this was someone's exercise in learning python and was released as an open source project.

No need to include it in any releases; no value added.

If someone knows python, maybe the source could be hacked so that the pager can reside on the desktop, or in the slit/dock/harbor, and the geometry could be adjusted. Then it would be a nice alternative to older apps like fbpager.

@lwfitz - thanks

ported the xlite fluxbox theme to fvwm:

[VastOne]

Really good stuff PackRat... When you gonna create your own theme?

[PackRat]

Most of my themes (fluxbox and fvwm) are my own. I'll tweak a theme every now and then - like the VSIDO theme, but I also have a template I use that has all the options. I use the Tin Black theme as a guide since it is a non-pixmap theme, but all the color scheming is my own. I can't use gimp at all so if I want some pixmaps I'll grab some from another theme. I use the buttons from the elfin theme a lot.

An fvwm theme I did from scratch -
