Screenshots

[roddierod]

Guess I'll start the openbox screenshot thread:

FreeBSD 7 Stable
Openbox 3.6.7
Thunar
xmms
opera
pypanel

and some other stuff. It's a dual monitor setup so you can click to image to get the full size look.

Very nice. I'm still setting my system up which will be running Openbox as well but I'll be sure to post my screenshot when it's ready.

I'm going to post a old screenshot of mine from September, but my desktop hasn't changed much since then -

@dh - looks like you are using xcompmgr for the shadow effects. I was uing that for awhile then I tried using the fade in effects and after a time it started to cause problems like window artifacts. Are you using the fading feature?

[braveduck]

2roddierod: Such a cool iconset! It's the default one in the openbox?

[roddierod]

It's the buuf icon set from here (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=81153&id=1&tan=89129984)

I don't use fade (I want my menus to open instantly), only shadows.
I start xcompmgr with following flags:
xcompmgr -c -t-6 -l-6 -r5.0 -o0.85

[dracodoc]

I was fighting with fluxbox for the Chinese character problem in menu display, then I found your post today. Openbox have Chinese translations so it must have no problem on Chinese.
I tried it and was very satisfied with it, except there is a known bug for gnome-session which could be easily fixed.

I use bblean in my windows laptop too.

guys, how to set icon theme in openbox..im using thunar as my file manager.
thanks

[roddierod]

A few ways...

you can put one of these line in autostart.sh


xfce-mcs-manager &


with this if you have the xfce parts installed you can use the xfce control panel to set the icons.


/usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &


if you prefer the gnome control panels.


Or: you can create .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory if it does not exsist

here is mine for example:



gtk-theme-name="Frozen Plastic"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Buuf-Deuce"
gtk-font-name="monofur 14"
gtk-toolbar-style=2
include "/home/roddierod/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

if i create the .gtkrc in the ~,
where do i have to place the icon n the themes set?
thanks..

[roddierod]

The icon sets that install in


/usr/local/share/icons


are the ones that you can use.

[vermaden]

You can also install them at ~/.icons directory

[graudeejs]

For multiusers i make /home/Share directory
and
ln -s /home/Share/icons /home/user/.icons

and next time i dump/restore i will have icons where they are supposed to be.

i don't want them in /usr/local/share/icons, because you never when when i'll decide to rebuild system completely. Then i can simply restore /home from backups and everything will work.

It's also to extract only some files/directories form dump backup, but why to make life harder?

Looks like you dig C2C! I listen to it when Knapp or any other guest hosts the show.

[roddierod]

Yeah, I like everyone except Art Bell. My sister told me about the show 5 years ago and I've mainly have to get downloads as it on too late for me to listen live :(

Theme (http://bsd.ee/~dh/files/Ngh-Dark-5.tar.gz) (theme is based on old blackbox theme named Cthulhain)

The wallpaper is modified "SG Striped Wallpaper #11" (adjusted contrast and colors) and it's part of "SG Walls" (I think) wallpaper pack on deviantart.com.

anyone know how to run pypanel, conky and feh on startup ? where i should exec them ?

[alie]

i found it :)

http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Autostart

[roddierod]

just add them to ~./config/openbox/autostart.sh


pypanel &
conky &


for example.

Never mind, you found it.

I see mpd data on screen , is it with conky ?
Personnaly when mpd informations don't display and conky says

Conky: unknown variable mpd_artist
Conky: unknown variable mpd_title
Conky: unknown variable mpd_bar
Conky: unknown variable mpd_status

[vermaden]

Conky: unknown variable mpd_artist
Conky: unknown variable mpd_title
Conky: unknown variable mpd_bar

You need to compile conky with MPD support.

Openbox is sweeet!!!!!!!!

Went through Gnome2, E17, and XFCE the past couple days, was completely overjoyed when I was just greeted with a black desktop, and a mouse cursor. I even surprised myself how happy I was.

Here is my big pimpin desktop....lol. Have conky, and xcompmgr installed, but havent had time to read into configuring them yet, was late last night, and I gotta go work here in a bit.

Anyhow, Im kind of a screenshot wh**e, so Ill probably post more, once I get time to really mess around. Hopefully I can get Wine, and Movie Player installed without some dependency error, was having a heck of a time with that the past few days, when I was trying to build with the latest ports.

[Dru]

Meh.....another screenshot. I had installed Nautilus, then Totem player, between those two, that about included everything that Gnome would have needed, so I went ahead and just added the Gnome settings daemon to the autostart, but now I feel like everything is bulky, and I might as well be running Gnome, the Openbox default menu had a setting for the control center, and I didnt notice the dependency it marked for Metacity, when I went ahead and installed it....lame.

I like the search, and properties feature of Nautilus, though.

Think I need to start creating a snapshot or something before I change stuff, getting tired of reinstalling. All this dependency stuff is pissin me off a little.

I made a Volume control for the menu, Im sure everyone here is bright enough to have figured it out, if they wanted to, but figured Id post it anyhow. It doesnt look correct as far as the numbers, but 50:50 was pretty quiet here, adjust as needed.

Add to the menu.xml
<menu id="vol-menu" label="Volume">
<item label="100%">
<action name="Execute">
<command>mixer 100:100</command>
</action>
</item>
<item label="75%">
<action name="Execute">
<command>mixer 88:88</command>
</action>
</item>
<item label="50%">
<action name="Execute">
<command>mixer 75:75</command>
</action>
</item>
<item label="25%">
<action name="Execute">
<command>mixer 50:50</command>
</action>
</item>
<item label="Mute">
<action name="Execute">
<command>mixer 0:0</command>
</action>
</item>
</menu>

And this goes at the bottom of the menu.xml also.
<menu id="vol-menu"/>

Couple more since I got everything needed to run dual head, wish the OpenLogos font I used for Beastie was a little heavier. Starting to get Conky figured out pretty well, a lot of it is the default script, but I tightened it up a bit, to make all the text fit closer, and a few things added/removed.

Added a few more notches to the Volume control, though most of the time, I just change it in the app.

Nothing real fancy as far as apps running, but everything needed or wanted is there. Have some RAM on the way, ol machine has needed it for a long time.

[vermaden]

After very long fluxbox usage I wanted to try something new, pekwm did not satisfied my needs [1], so I tried openbox ... and I do not want to look further ;)

http://omploader.org/tMnFlcw (http://omploader.org/vMnFlcw/vermaden_2009-11-09.png)

[Dru]

vermaden, I kinda agree with you about looking no further, I didnt try out any other lightweight managers, but like Openbox so much, I really havent much desire to try others.

I feel like Im spamming this thread, but I started to get a little intimate with config texts these past couple days, and felt like posting.

Had been using gnome-settings for my background, icons, and almost debated on installing more Gnome components, to make mounting with hal, permissions...etc, work and everything, but decided to change it back all lightweight, configure .gtkrc-2.0, and install Nitrogen for wallpaper.

Originally I was just going to go back to Feh, but I didnt like how it fit wallpaper, compared to gnome-appearance-preferences, so I tried Nitrogen, it unfortunately fits it the same, but gives me the cool option to set a different wallpaper for each monitor. I wont mind the occasional cropping of images to make them fit as intended.

Anyhow, back to my main reason for posting, I notice the Onyx themes in some of the other screenshots, and there is only the default blue, or Orange to use. Its fairly easy to make the color match your wallpaper if anyone was curious.

Themes are located in:
/usr/local/share/themes
Copy the desired theme directory to:
~/.themes
and rename the theme directory to your liking, in this case I used "Onyx-Custom"

The theme directory, contains an openbox-3 directory, modify the themerc file located inside of it accordingly. Commented with "button color"

Easy way to make the colors match a wallpaper...etc, Ive found, is to just load the wallpaper in Gimp, and use the color picker to get the hex value. The Pidgin image background is done in .gtkrc-2.0, btw.

I use Obconf to switch between themes, easy, quick, and it seems to do well, and will pick up your new theme directory in .themes. I dont like Obmenu though, it made a mess of my .xml when I first tried it awhile back, and wont use it again.

Edit: I just realized I forgot to change the pressed state colors of the window minimize/maximize/close buttons...theyre correct already un-pressed, Ill have to come back and re-edit, I was just mainly using that as an example, but I suppose someone may copy and use it.

Said I'd be posting some more screenshots a few posts ago, but didnt realize it would go this far, lol. Think I should be pretty close to done boring you guys.

Also, thanks to Dana Jansens.
