Echo vastone's reply, and add that when you are dealing with a desktop environment (DE) like gnome (kde, xfce) everything is integrated so trying to remove something you're not using like games commonly results in removing a bunch of other software dependencies and you can render the DE non-functional.

A job well done.

^ that's nice.

Work in progress; need to work on the contrast, open to suggestions:

smxi worked for me too, both computers running smooth (intel graphics on laptop) with this kernel.

I take it you installed nvidia from smxi as well? Will give it a go on my desktop if true.

I have it installed on my HP laptop - the rts_pci driver now fully supports the RTS5209 PCI internal card reader. No longer have to compile my own kernel 

^ haven't listened to that one in a while; some excellent guitar work by Jeff Beck.

back on topic -



something new; wife was eating a peach so I used it for a color scheme:

^ the cure is worse than the disease 

I prescribe a heavy dose of fluxbox for you, buddy.

Someday Ill learn not to go to the dark side

Not to worry; what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. 

some i3 and dwm for today:

Couple shots of bspwm:



It's a tiling window manager, been around for about a year. "Written by an arch user for other arch users" as they like to say over there. Interesting project, hope it keeps getting developed. Really need to be a script kiddie to get the most out of it, I think so I won't be messing with it too much longer. Having some issues just getting some basic configuration changes - like window border colors.

Note - if you do decide to check it out, debian systems need to use xbindkeys for hot keys, not the sxhkd program that the bspwm developer wrote, otherwise it crashes. Get the latest release from git and build from source - I had to get one dependency which was in the repos.

edit - link to git repo:   https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm
there is a dedicated thread in the Arch forums for those interested.

^ what he said

Heat wave and stormy this week; going to mess with my view of the meteorite shower:

^that it is.

used some blue from the vsido logo -

Ooops -- 

I browsed for the directory for about 5 min before I realized I was on my debian testing desktop.

Switching to laptop mode in 10 ... 9 ... 8 ...

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 -
