What do you think of the lighter Conky?
A most awesome adaptation :D
A most awesome distro! VSIDO!

installed the mate pdf viewer (atril) because it works with gtk2/gtk3 themes better than evince on my systems, so I decided to try the whole DE.
Wow PackRat, that looks really good. Haven't tried Mate in a long time, though I did just recently try to get Cinnamon going. I wasn't very successful...
That is really nice PackRat...
Jedi, yours has evolved quite nicely too
Fuck Conky... Long live the arclance weather scripts
Yes, arclance has a really great weather program! Even with all the changes of the last 3 years or so, he hasn't had to modify anything! With the update to Conky 1.10.x, I did have to change a '0' to a '1' in the conkyrc file, so it still had nothing to do with arclance's code!
Still working on colors...

Mate is a bit buggy; took it off the other computer (Debian Testing) since xfce is better and already installed. Give the cutting edge Mate a spin on VSIDO instead.

Thank you very kindly! :)
Hoping to get some new images uploaded soon when sourceforge will let me.
I really need to find a new home for my distro, sf has become a real pain lately. :(

It's a nice piece of work. Right now, I'm trying to locate an old script I used to get current conditions only and add it to the conkyrc. Unfortunalely, inxi -W in a conkyrc adds the color codes with the text.
Here you go PackRat, Current Conditions only script for you.

if [ ! -f /tmp/curr.json ]; then
echo ""

echo -e "Check your internet connection!"
echo ""
exit 1
else
place=$(cat /tmp/curr.json | jq -r '.name')

timecurr=$(cat /tmp/curr.json | jq -r '.dt')
timecurr1=$(date -d @"$timecurr" +'%A, %r')

then

Surreal Sea! Nice weather script hakerdefoe! The last few weeks, I've watched in awe as you pump out script after script for VSIDO! Awesome work. I'm still partial to arclance's work! The fun of Linux! You really can "have it your way"!!! 8)

Looks really cool, guys. But a conly for that? I still prefer to launch it in a drop-down terminal.
QuoteLooks really cool, guys. But a conly for that? I still prefer to launch it in a drop-down terminal.
It's has a key binding. I bring up the weather and read the forecast (same with the tao). Another key binding kills all instances of conky and restarts the system information conky. Easy peasy.

Nice TheRatMan
I really like sakura... using it exclusively now, VSIDO's default compton handles all of the opacity fine
I see it as a replacement for xfce-terminal
I care not for the drop-down capabilities, is that really a deal killer on terminals?

Not for me; I tried using a drop down terminal a couple times, never really took to it. Some people just love that capability, though.
Looks nice, I just.... can't move away from urxvt, I tried... many times
^ I know that feeling. I'm still using urxvt with spectrwm and i3; although, I seldom use it tabbed.

Cleaning up some harddrives; very smooth build, all my hardware recognized OOTB, and a nice set of default apps for jwm - except there doesn't seem to be a text editor. Otherwise, well done ozi.
Edit - text editor is leafpad; get that in the menu ozi.
Edit - 02 - the install is really smooth

the photo is by a famous Japanese photographer Takuma Nakahira, a contemporary of Daidō Moriyama. One thing to note is that I tried to set the image to the "visual center" which is slightly higher than center ;-)
For the gradients I used orangered4 - orangered3 and grey20 - grey15...I tried to use X colors as much as possible.
Cinnamon Sid! 8) Wow, finally got it totally configured. ??? Back in the 'old days' I'll admit to liking Gnome2. Cinnamon is a real close replica! So yes, still VSIDO, just with Cinnamon 2.6.13. Installed through Synaptic and it went much smoother! Today was fun again!
@hudson, great scrot and welcome to VSIDO! We're really glad to have you. Love the picture!
(http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/07292015a.jpg) (http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/07292015a.php)
Hi Jedi and thanks for the welcome. That's really, really nice...I don't even try to do something so great. I like Cinnamon's whole start button setup for easy access to applications. I used Gnome 2 when I first started with Ubuntu years ago...it used to do a full text index of all my files once a week and slow everything down to a crawl! Or, maybe that was Ubuntu's fault.
@hudson -
what is the pager you're using?
Yo!

@PackRat
bbpager...actually, I wanted to find out suggestions on pagers. bbpager is OK, but the version in the repos doesn't seem to support transparency. To get it to work, I installed wmctrl and put the following two lines in my startup file before exec fluxbox
(sleep 1s && bbpager) &
(sleep 2s && wmctrl -r bbpager -b add,below) &
PackRat and hudson and everyone else who gives a damn...
VSIDO = FluxBox but it has been the same forever, just a cover of glossy things I like
I suggest we take the covers off of FluxBox and see what we can do to make VSIDO and FluxBox rock in different ways
What say you?
RatMan, I am honored for your gifts and kinship. For years now you have done VSIDO and this community a great service I am damned proud of
@VastOne
well...I'm down...that's why I'm here...to have a little fun and contribute something.
A pager? No need. I prefer to use tint2 for this and many other things. :P

Amen to that.
@hudson- neat trick with bbpager. How about cross posting that in the Using Fluxbox as a Window Manager thread.
@Vastone & Snap- thanks
@PackRat - done 8)
@Snap - have you ever run two instances of tint2? I was going to look into that...one as pager, one as task manager
VSIDO default OOTB runs two instances of tint2... the systray and the panel/launcher/taskbar
Not sure how much you have looked into the tint2 launchers hudson, but there is a VSIDO custom launch script that uses xdotool and wmctrl to have the panel/launcher/taskbar work just like cairo dock did... it effectively iconifies everything clicked so that multiple instances are not opened ... This same launch script is used on FluxBox menu items as well
ToZ helped with that script that you can read about here (http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6168&p=1)
Did a clean install of Debian Testing a few weeks ago, and finally got around to upgrading to Sid:

spectrwm, moc, ttyload, urxvt.
off to land of git for gmusicbrowser and other toys now.
Just what is it about Fluxbox? Like I said, I liked Cinnamon, BUT, it is no Fluxbox! Fluxbox just makes me feel like I have so much more control. I don't care about mem useage statistics, or cpu usage anymore as Linux has handily made a non-issue of it. I've got a quad core i7 with 16Gbs of RAM and a 2Gb Nvidia video card in my lappy! I could run KDE Plasma if I really wanted to. Thing is, Fluxbox just gives me more freedom to make it how I want it! And as far as I'm concerned, it has a serious BLING ability as well...

Quote@Snap - have you ever run two instances of tint2?
Yes. have a lot of different configs somewhere. But I always get back to a single one. Typically very simple too.

Love this forum. You find and learn new things even in the scrots showing off thread. :)
QuoteI've got a quad core i7 with 16Gbs of RAM and a 2Gb Nvidia video card in my lappy! I could run KDE Plasma if I really wanted to.
That's it. The *nix community is highly concerned for old computers and extending their lives as much as possible. Which is really good. But when the time for a new machine comes. Man, who can say KDE is heavy and slow!!! The whole system with plenty of stuff installed (no restrictions) takes around 12 GB in / and RAM is in the 500 MB range, but can be easily rounded down to circa 330 MB. That still sounds like a lot for a 16 Gigs machine? No it's not and It flies. Literally. I never managed to pass 50% of CPU or RAM load with a KDE system in my current machine (AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core @ 4.295GHz, 16 GB RAM). Whatever I do. And I really tried to stress it. (I'm not a video editor whatsoever) :D

Clean and tidy. Love it.
Being a Fluxbox and OpenBox nut I haven't put my hands on BlackBox yet. That should be fixed.
@jedi - I don't know why, but personally I can't take Cinnamon/Gnome/Mate/Xfce...I think I don't really like desktops. And I'm use to popping up the menu anywhere on the screen. Maybe it all boils down to what you're use to.
