FreeBSD Screen Shots

Cool idea!

Will have to try that since I use terminal to login as user + startx

Thanks.

No problem. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

It was created for a pretty similar reason, in that whilst developing OpenCDE, I couldn't easily use any X login managers whilst testing, so always had to login and then run startx from the terminal which was a pain.. Not to mention startx faffed around for at least 10 seconds before actually displaying something each time lol.

Now the only thing that needs to be run each time is tmux (Which could be added as my default shell, but meh!)

Here are my latest screenshots



While they look similar to previous screenshots, I've implemented some new ideas that I got after using awesome and xmonad window managers :)

This time I made ready to use config if you want to try out my fvwm config:
http://files.bsdroot.lv/my/screenshots/desktop/2011.04.12/killasmurf86-fvwm-config-2011.04.12.tar.xz

If you like it, I suggest you clone my dot.fvwm mercurial repository (http://hg.bsdroot.lv/aldis/dot.fvwm/) and customize config.sh, because config.sh is used to rebuild config every time fvwm is restarted.

.Xdefaults, .xinitrc and other files are available at dot.files repository (http://hg.bsdroot.lv/aldis/dot.files/)

I'm pretty happy I finally managed to make conky run with composition the way I want :)

When you minimize window (Super_L + double right click on app) it uses my Magick.sh script to make screenshot of app. Magick.sh is wrapper to ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick :)

What are reasons one might want to switch to fvwm? I see you like it lots. Also where do you get all those space-theme pics? :)

Here's mine very simple, openbox, tint2, conky...got all I need.
