Very fun

You shud try it too

My desktop OS is :

HP dc5800
Fedora Linux 14

I wouldn't say fun, just more comfy for me. Tiling WM's were mostly designed around the needs of CLI users, mainly people who do a lot of editing in Vi or Emacs, giving them the ability to automatically tile projects side-by-side and make diff comparisons and whatnot. You'll see a lot of posers all over the web who show off a tiling wm, but actually use regular Nautilus or Thunar for their file management and Gedit or Mousepad for their editing. What's the point?

Use a tiler only if you feel your apps and workflow will benefit from it. One benefit (regardless of whether you're a CLI or GUI guy) is that you'll never feel the need to minimize to a panel or tray ever again.

It's an acquired taste, though. A tiling wm must feel like a second skin to you, or it'll just be a pain in the long run. Some of my most efficient setups are extremely low contrast and bland, like this one;



P.S:
Could you guys please start using thumbnails.

Actually, I use ALOT of command line but still use gedit for editing. I like the background colour when editing. Its easy on the eyes.

That being said, command line is imperative for network related stuff. The only networking tool I use with a nice GUI is wireshark. Everything else (tcpdump, nc, etc) all use command line.

I'm curious. How does one do manual diff comparisons on GEdit?? (I mean side-by side, not using a diff checker) I've tried it before, but Gedit seems to prefer a tabbing type of mode.

I don't usually need to compare multiple documents. Usually its just to examine results and figure out what the data means. And there is ALOT of lines to go thru.

Posting a year old scrot I found lying around an old partition. From my old Sorcerer install running Ratpoison ..... cos I used to be an elitist prick who thought Arch and Gentoo were for simpletons (I still think like that in many ways... just too lazy to compile these days)

I'm in love

^Your font smoothing/aliasing needs work.
Search for the infinality patch in the Arch Unmaintained Repository (AUR), and maybe a patched libcairo2 package as well. Dunno if KDE overrides fonts.conf or not, though.

Welcome to the evil world of the heavyweight desktop.

Like G-17 said, you need some work on your font anti-aliasing. This looks no better than what I had in Windows, and I still have no idea on how to solve that (on Windows).

Ahh , ok Will try the font workaround

GDIPP works on Windows.

I know. I still can't find it satisfactory...

After a while...

KDE again

Alone in the dark

^ Dude, can't you just use thumbnails??

... Also, by the way, seems you're using Chakra.

Just conky.



@Flame

What theme are you using on your N900 ?

It's called Carbon Steel, which somehow includes the Faenza icon themes

Sexiness

Now that's sexy!!
I've been considering a fullscreen conky layout for my EvilWM setup, but since I prefer small pixel/bitmap fonts (Terminus, MonteCarlo, Artwiz...etc), I have to think of a LOT of variables for them to cover the whole screen, which is where I'm stuck right now. Don't really want to waste resources on LUA/Cairo animations and stuff. >_<
