Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

@ ivanonegro  :  no, I am too lazy ;-)  I found some old packages on a pendrive, checked them, and installed manually. The dependencies are so ootdated that they had nothing broken. The real pain int the S was to configure the old gtk theme to harmonize with the actual.

@ zephyr : thx man. I like your distro, too bad I have only 32bit pc's; I cannot install them.

Trinity : I do not really like full-blown DE's, but I must say Tritity is simply amazing.  First I installed it on Debian (with systemd)  and had always problems with the display-manager startup. After upgrading to Devuan everithing is fine.

And now something non-retro: Ascii with Bunsenlabs Helium.

Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

And now a bit of Fluxbox:

Fortunately I saved some old CD's  so I could copy some really nice setups. Theese are f.e. stolen from the good old LinuxMint Fluxbox Edition.

The first theme is Shiki (Gtk and Fluxbox), the second is Mint-X.  And a large collection of the infamous Mint girl wallpapers  :-D

Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

@ Nili: STAR and CROWZ both use the JWM setup similar to Manjaro, where the configuration files are in usr/.config/jwm.

Not sure if this was what you were describing as your attempt.

cheers

@zephyr , please forgive me, just now i've caught your message. Yes, that's what i mean, if STAR/CROWZ have similar JWM configs it must be excellent for those that are looking for minimalistic stack WM also a nice view of JWM.

No offense, the broken down JWM configs greatly enhances the overall look and feel allowing greater ease of configuring the WM.

Thank you!

I use i3wm. The "cold" start system uses only 114 mb. I got a light and excellent system. Highly productive.

I call it "hack, saw, and polish".

My methodology hasn't caught on yet.

Maybe the more clever name would be "The Reverse Poettering".

Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

I use a Devuan Jessie base install with a console login. The Fluxbox style is Cthulhain and Rox-filer's theme is DarkCold4 GTK2/3. No matter which of the desktops shown here... what I really like is seeing the different ways they're tweaked to suit work habits, creature comforts and style.

Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

fanderal: There is no Fluxbox guide in the documentation and I have never tried this desktop environment. Did you create a file that explains the necessary steps to get a similar result? I am going to give it a try.

Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

I have never tried this desktop environment.

HextorBRX, this is simply a window mgr and a file mgr. For some, it's all they want or need. I made it workable for me by adding commands to the Fluxbox menu so it has some functions similar to a real DE.

As an example, there's no DE, so there's no auto-mounting USBs or DVDs. In the screenshot where the menu is open to Utils, one of the unseen labels under USB is Mount1. When I click on it, the underlying command mounts a USB drive and opens it in Rox-filer with read/write permissions.

There is no Fluxbox guide in the documentation

The only documentation I vaguely recall was about the style files, but it's been years since I edited the Cthulhain file or looked at the Fluxbox wiki.

Did you create a file that explains the necessary steps to get a similar result?

No, I didn't. At least, not when I edited that style file. The desktop image in red was originally blue, and I used a blue theme. I changed it to red a year or so ago and kept some notes.

If you want to give it a try, I'll be happy to get into the details with you. An alternative, if you're already using a DE, is setting up Fluxbox with a similar look, but as a session choice at login... you'll still have a Control Panel and the DE's automated functions.

Re: Show your desktop (rebooted)

Hands down i think refracta linux is probably one of the best distros out there as it is so fast to install and boot and just works, well done fsmithred and co.

Been playing around with refracta2 xfce tonight with some theming. Replaced xfce4 panel with tint2 and added jgmenu for the menu. I much prefer tint2 as a panel, to me it has a lot more avenues for styling than xfce4 panel. Jgmenu is brilliant and has come a long way, i urge you to try it out with tint2. The task buttons in that particular tint2 panel follow the colour of the icons via tinting.

I didn't know about jgmenu. I was working on another dynamic menu, using also the libmenu-cache (like jgmenu seems to  be doing):
