ported the xlite fluxbox theme to fvwm:

@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

found a pager app called neap - sits in the system tray:

neap pager app

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.

I installed wicd on VSIDO but now I am not able to figure out how to replace ceni with wicd, to test things out. As of now, both of them, i.e., ceni and wicd start up, and wicd is shut down by the system (I think)....

This may be because ceni writes to the /etc/network/interfaces file while wicd (and gnome's network manager) do not. I'm pretty sure if you edit (as root) the /etc/network/interfaces file and comment out everything but the:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

lines (usually at the beginning) then wicd should work.

If you go back to using ceni, you will need to remove the wicd configuration files.

@DevilOne - one of my favorite pekwm/openbos/fluxbox themes; somewhere on a backup, I have my fvwm version of that theme. Question to pekwm users here - I have been looking, but can not find out if a pekwm theme can be created that does not require pixmaps. Is it doable? I think it is, but I have not delved too deeply into the syntax/options of pekwm themes yet.

back on topic -

@vastone - for #10, I believe that setting will show dotfiles by default for File -> Open/Save etc ... operations.

I'll have to check it out.

Sneak one in early -



haven't changed much lately.

that's cool; lot of activity on IRC?

Jovo?

Are you building female robots again?   

LOL ... I saw yours and decided to take another look at pekwm myself 

Edit - switched from that most awesomely horrid default orange theme:



won't get me to switch from fluxbox.

@jed - nice shot

Have you tried using the grouping (tabbed windows) feature of pekwm? Grouped/tabbed windows is what really sets fluxbox and pekwm apart from openbox, but I never really got into configuring pekwm since I was pretty much set with fluxbox.

Xfce wasn't giving me the key binding control I wanted, so i blinged up cwm to give me the same aethetic -
