Being the new guy. I guess i can start off Oct Screen shots 8)
Welcome to VSIDO.
Starting the month with the usual stuff -

Hey airtime, welcome to VSIDO! Glad you finally made it here. It is good to have you!
Just "drive by" posting as PackRat says... :D
(http://www.zimagez.com/miniature/netflixnative.png) (http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/netflixnative.php)
Pretty much the same, except I have Netflix working natively! There's a 'How To' posted in the HowTo section...
Nice stiff fellas!
@jedi, well done with the netflix!
I rarely post because I rarely ever change...
Now I have gone and done it
This may become the new themes for VSIDO in the future

Matches the web site perfectly...
very nice to the bunch of y'all.
Have to see what I can come up with over the weekend (free time!)
Cool to see the forum livening up a bit as autumn sets in...at least for the northern hemisphere 8)
Thanks for the welcome guys ..
Been playing around a bit with my DE, Found a load of styles from a web site. http://tenr.de/styles/allstyles.php (http://tenr.de/styles/allstyles.php) and have an excellent grouping of styles. zephyr
^ nice; those tenr styles are awesome, I always grab a few of them for templates.
@zephyr
I have that archive still... When we chose fluxbox and got serious with it, I grabbed that and picked the best of that group to be the ones that are now the standards in VSIDO
If anyone wants any of those added, just let me know..
Some stylistic changes, theme, icons, Fluxbox styles, etc. A day of playing with Gtk2 and Gtk3. And I thought I was going to go to bed early tonight. Another night below freezing! Winter has descended upon Northern Maine. Anyway, this is the Dorian theme, Alpha-3 icon set, and the hydrocyanic Fluxbox style should anyone be interested.

Sorry for so many images. Just wanted to give an idea of how things are looking...
@jedi - where did you get the fluxbox style? If it's a home brew, can you post the theme config in the wm thread?
@jedi... Awesome look. Thanks for locating all of that and the work put into it!
@RatMan
hydrocyanic fluxbox style from the tenr.de collection here (http://tenr.de/styles/searchstyle.php?stylename=hydrocyanic)
I think I just may load all of those as Styles in the next version of VSIDO
That would be a lot of themes; although getting your favorite 10 would be a good idea.
The gnomishDark gtk theme, centurion_colorless style from tenr, nouveGnome icon set -

Very nice Jedi! 8)
Fluxbox is very customizable, the VSIDO logo wallpaper is awesome, easy to add other styles without searching for a compatible wallpaper. Yea, be cool to add more styles to the next release, or update. By the way, being a noob myself, got a question? I use gksu thunar, simply hand feed these styles into ~/usr/share/fluxbox/styles. Is this a no-no or correct? Gdebi only works for me on some apps. It seems to work for me, if there is a better/correct way, appreciate any help. Thanks. zephyr
Using thunar to move themes or icon sets to usr areas are fine if you want to have them available for multiple users on your same machine, including the root account. If it is for a single user system, having them in your /home directory is fine.
Your setup looks awesome !!! :)
@jedi, zephyr - awesome setups.

@zephyr-thanks VastOne & jedi, appreciate the compliments, that is what I like about Debian and VSIDO in particular, creating an OS to suit your taste, likes and give it a personality. I'm just not even scratching the surface, but I look forward to this forum several times a day. zephyr

W O W!!! That is a beautiful picture. Some really great photography there PackRat! I saw the fishing thread as well, and she is a little cutey! Very lucky man...
That is an award-winning photograph PackRat!
Thanks for sharing that with us
Loving the new theming! Bit of a new look for me...
(http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/100814b.png) (http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/100814b.php)
Looks great Jedi, I am enjoying the new theme as well!
Yes, a good choice for a new theme. Had some time today and made a matching fluxbox style - posted in the wm thread:
(http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/fluxdark.png) (http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/fluxdark.php)
Very nice PackRat. I may have to go back to fluxbox. I should probably look by myself does fluxbox have anything similar to pipemenus?
Not directly, but you can use the [include] option in the fluxbox to include information that results from running a script - like this: http://darkshed.net/article/dynamic-menus-in-fluxbox (http://darkshed.net/article/dynamic-menus-in-fluxbox)
Another option would be to use dmenu to generate the entry in the fluxbox menu.
Thank you Guru. Absolutely riveting stuff. I never knew about include and playing with it as we speak. I do a lot of pipemenu stuff with openbox.
I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) that you are talking about using alias in Dmenu or is there something else (OK realize there are mountains of things) I don't know about? Do you do it this way. I love me some dmenu if I am missing something I don't want that to happen.
I don't use menus - pipe or otherwise - much at all actually. Most of what I do is accomplished with a key binding.
dmenu is pretty flexible, I have seen scripts (head to the Arch or Gentoo forums) where dmenu is used in menus for multimedia or web content. I don't code, but have always suspected that the underlying code for an openbox pipemenu is doing something similar.

Actually there really isn't any coding in putting together a pipe menu, at least not if you don't want to. Pipe menu's really are built off a standard template using perl or bash. The originals were made about ten years ago and are pretty extensively documented. I like them because they can be layered and multi-functional. You can call another process, run it, comeback to the pipemenu, run some more, etc. which I can't get in a single key click setup and I am pretty sure you can use them in dmenu. I just really haven't figured it out.
I did review the arch stuff on dmenu and scripts/code and found it confusing. I may revisit that as I can do some pretty neat stuff with dmenu I just need the proper motivation I guess. You have inspired me to have another crack at it. Really love your work here and appreciate your sharing it as well as you thoughts.
Oh, on key combo's. I have another issue. I often forget them/which keys/etc and I am a bit like a husband travelling with his wife. I refuse to stop and ask for directions. :D I gave up key bindings for that reason. For some reason I can remember a script name when I can't remember a key binding, I failed miserable at vi for this reason.
Sorry, not the actual coding for the pipe menu script itself. Coding in openbox must take the output of the script and parse it into a format to display in the menu. Both Arch and Gentoo forums have some pretty clever coders that have put together some scripts - bash and python mostly - and get results displayed in the menu.

Remembering keybindings ???
That's probably why CrunchBang has a list on the desktop via the conky.
Great shots guys .. I have been playing with openbox on Vsido also .. So far everything seem to be working perfectly. I will post a shot soon

Those are just the openbox key bindings for app; then there are the keybindings for jed or emacs - a conky to display all the keybindings for emacs would be quite the undertaking. Of course, it would have to be done in lua and be interactive .... then again, f*ck conky.
back on topic; lost a bet with my brother - had to modify my desktop wallpaper for the day (curse you Kansas City Royals, but good luck in the World Series anyway):

@PackRat, the green is really nice. Might have to take a break from the blue! :D
Man I love GMB! VastOne your layouts are awesome! mrpeachy has a new weather script based on data pulled from WeatherUnderground called wun. I did a fast and loose combination of that script and conkyforecast to get what you see at the bottom left. Otherwise, pretty much same ole, same ole...
(http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/101614a.png) (http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/101614a.php)
^ Incredible look and concept Jedi, well done! mrpeachy is still kicking that out.. nice
@PackRat... Not a BoSox fan? Whats up with that? 8)
@jedi - thanks, I keep trying with green, but can't quite get it right.
@vastone -
Sox haven't been the same since Yaz retired.
(http://en.zimagez.com/miniature/birdsido.png) (http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/birdsido.php)
hat tip to the Kansas City Royals for opening a big ol' can of whoop-ass for the post season.
^ I agree about BoSox and Yaz but at least they did get off the losing wagon..
The Cubs are finally on their way to building a team to do the same with the same architects that did it for Boston...
That is when I will smile on Baseball again...
I do like both KC and SF... gonna be a great series..
If SF wins it is pretty much a lock then that my beloved Chicago Blackhawks will win this rear too.. Every other year they have won the cup, following (nearly) in SF's footsteps

Introducing VSIDO Jedi
(http://www.zimagez.com/miniature/screenshot-10172014-014812pm.php) (http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-10172014-014812pm.php)
To say that I'm stunned, honored, proud, and many other superlatives that just don't seem to do justice to how I feel at this honor!!!
From start to finish, including getting everything installed via the vsido-welcome script, as well as a few other 'apps' I install for myself, it took around 35 minutes total to be completely back up and running. With creating .fsa files of my system, I can now have VSIDO codename:Jedi, back installed from a blank state in less than 7 minutes! You just can't beat that in a distro.
This is a beautiful new look as well that is extremely easy on the eyes! I'm loving every minute of it. (and possibly growing a larger head to boot. Soon I'll be having trouble walking through doorways!)
Thanks again VastOne, this has been one awesome ride...

Also have a look at these numbers:
jedi@jedsdesk:~$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 1.674s (kernel) + 1.253s (userspace) = 2.927s
STAGGERING!!!
These boot speeds are incredible!!!
Nice one jed - what services are you running on that box; pretty incredible boot times.
drive by scrots while I'm here -
openbox - sans panel and window decs -

and a new fluxbox style - I don't know which is more frustrating; getting yellow or green to work in a theme.

Just the default stuff that runs when booting a normal install of VSIDO Jedi! Yellow is definitely the most frustrating. I've gone through a couple of green scenes that didn't look bad at all. Your earlier shots with the green, I thought, looked really great!
interesting boot times.
I need to do a new install from the latest iso.
My current boot fime for my Fedora lab system
[root@devlap tmp]# systemd-analyze

Nice one from the both of you jedi and PackRat...
What is hard to see in mine is the kernel display in the top panel conky... It is 3.17-1out of Experimental and it is rock solid so far in all my tests... as quiet and less memory/cpu intensive as any kernel I have seen in quite some time
An FYI
My turn :)

PackRat, that is very cool! Just noticed your 'headless horseman' holding his VSIDO 'head' aloft! Very nice!!!
VastOne, nice handful your scarecrow is holding as well!!!
@dizzie - nice to see you're still lurking about.
@jedi - thanks.

Oh, and I got some shiny new hardware to tinker with :)
Glad you are better dizzie
