Hello people,

Just joined Lowyat, since I just returned to the region. (came back from Japan, currently living in Singapore, but was born and bred in Malaysian)

This was the first thread that caught my eye, so I guess this is my debut post.



Debian Sid + Openbox.... open source and bloat-free

Cheers~

Right.
Glad to know you're familiar with Linux and lightweight WMs (instead of the usual Win7,Gnome,KDE,OSX).
I've seen some of your screenshots on this month's thread, and I must say I like your style a lot. I never knew you could make windows look like that (I haven't used Windows since 98, though).. Very impressive!


I made the Openbox theme and GTK myself, so I'm not sure how you could port it to winXP.
The icon colours/gradients I just changed with a script.
I'm glad you like it. Here's a couple more for you;

This one is on the same netbook.


Different netbook, same OpenBox WM but running Gentoo distro.


Cheers.

From a 6 yr old laptop running Xubuntu (Xfce)

Compared to my OpenBox setup, this one is actually pretty stock/traditional looking.

A touch lighter than my usual today;

Debian Unstable + OpenBox, like usual.

Yup... same person!!
If you want proof, go the the OStalk forums.... there you'll find the same username I use in #!, but with the avatar I use here.
If you look really, really hard, you could possibly find me in the Debian and Slackware forums as well

lol


Err... Sorry

Here's another one for you

In a minimal mood today.

Been fine-tuning my theme a bit, since it's supposed to be a community theme for an upcoming distribution. Also been dirty-hacking the compositor to get drop-shadows just how I like them.



Currently trying to decide on a simple, minimal layout for my Conky (the system monitor on the left), but I'm not a fan of rings or graphs that take up too much screen space. Any suggestions?

The Linux theming/modding community on DA is a bit of a mess. Unlike Windows or OSX, Linux has a LOT of desktop environments and window managers to chose from (which I'm sure you know), hence everyone's opinion on aesthetics is already skewed from prolonged use of their specific DE/WM. You'll get people telling you to make OpenBox look like Gnome, Gnome to look like KDE, KDE to look like Win7 (crazy, but it's true), Xmonad to look like Ratpoison.... etc.

Do you mean the drop shadows on the system monitor part?... Ah, those are easy since they have their own "shade" settings and don't depend on system-wide compositing.

I guess I'll just go design some new wallpapers instead and keep the current layout.

Thanks.

This is the last of my "Striped Wallpaper + Matching Theme" sets.


If there are any OpenBox users here (probably none of you), I can share the theme packs if requested.

Sure.
Here you go = http://www.mediafire.com/?dn2ztyjdldg

Resolution is 2048x1200 @ 200ppi, so you should be able to upscale well if your monitor is larger.
If it's not acceptable, let me know and I'll make a new one in your desired resolution.

^ Is it just me, or does that chick have really creepy looking fingers? O_o
The photoshopper probably forgot to retouch the hands.


OpenBox is a minimalist window manager for Linux/BSD.
I can share my custom theme and configs if you want, but they're probably useless if you're on Windows.

New theme I've been working on for a friend's project.



Cheers~
