How about ... screenshots.

[demian]

Well, I know the last thread isn't too long ago. Anyway, I just refurbished my desktop to make it look like this (http://www.nord-com.net/goedeke/screenshot.jpeg).
The wm is fvwm2 and I have xawtv, mozilla, xmms and bclock (bottom right) running along with some iconified apps. Lots of penguins ;), I know but I really like the tux icon set.
The really amazing thing: fvwm2 occupies 1476KB memory :eek:

I just started using Blackbox and I find it pretty cool. It starts up way faster than KDE (no surprise there) and it looks good too (I like my eye candy). Anyway, here is my very first LNO screenshot posting ever . . .

Im running Slackware, Kernel 2.4.3, with WINE (www.winehq.com).. It runs IE pretty decently considering all the factors.

Thats also the windows binary of freecell, also running with WINE.

[bobarian]

What you have to do is run winamp using wine instead of xmms. Works great (just tested it). That would create the 100% loozer desktop :p

Running IE through wine in Slack 7.1 with a 2.16 kernel I had nothing but problems. The tool bar wouldn't show correctly, the program kept stalling and crashing X on me.

I think Geocities has a policy of not letting you link to a specific file on your web page. Look on your admin page - it says it there where pagebuilder is. The way I got around it was to link to the whole page. (See my post above) The screen comes up smaller, but you can right-click on it to "View Image" and then you get the fullscreen screenshot. That worked for me. If anyone has a better way, I'm open to suggestions.

[Datura]

Hey binary_boy I see your from AL. too.I used to live in Alabaster but been living down here in Jemison for about a year now.

Shouldn't that be import -window root desktop.jpg?
BTW you have to have imagemagick installed for this to work. There are tons of other screenshot programs. Search freshmeat for those. You'll will also find applets for various windowmanagers to do screenshots. The Gimp has a screenshot function, too.
Also xwd is installed with every X installation see 'man xwd' for usage...

How did you get the bash prompt ultra-colourful? I aliased "ls" with "ls --color" but it only gives a few colours.

[binaryDigit]

yeah. those are eterms. unfortunately the version of icewm i'm running doesn't support the transparency. so i use Esetroot for my backgrounds and everything works.
i believe more current versions of icewm support transparency without having to use Esetroot.

It looks pretty sharp. I use plain old xterms, myself. Maybe down the line I'll give it a go with the facier stuff.
