I like Solarized color on term. Also like the awesome as a window manager and his panel.

Next time please make clickable thumbnail to open biger, so we can watch better. Thank you,
Good job ;)

Thanks for the comments. I recently started with awesome and I really like it. I can't see going back to a non-tiling window manager now.

I'm not sure how to make a clickable thumbnail, but here is a link to the full size image.

Interesting. I didn't know you could put an image in the display field of a url like that. Thanks for the tip.

This is my Devuan Xfce install (1 of 3 distros on my machine). The other two distros are installed to the SSDs, Devuan is installed to an HDD, hence the custom GIMP added text to the wallpaper. I'm working on 10 (yep, ten) different fiction titles right now. Lotteries aren't cooperating so I've decided to try to get rich writing books, time will tell.

See if you can spot the joke in the 'Shining' text (hint, it appears twice)...

First, the default Devuan wallpaper customized...

Now some easy on the eyes wallpaper customized...

Heres the customized wallpaper if you want it...

What's going on here..... is one a VM in a small window?

How did you get Debian install with only 207 packages? My minimal install is approaching 700! Is it command line only?

Nah, just installing Debian sid to a btrfs subvolume and in the middle of configuring it via `chroot`, it's from a minimal `debootstrap` so it didn't even have a kernel at that stage, hence the small package number -- I've since booted it and installed the entire xorg metatpackage so it's probably way over 500 by now...

Thanks for link links. I may start another thread for this subject. I've gotten my package count down to less than 650, but feel I probably could take it a bit further.

Gratuitous wallpaper scrot showing the rather lovely jgmenu, which is set to pop up when I left click the status box on the far right of the panel:

The desktop is my usual Alpine Linux/dwm combination.

Code: Select all

 $ uname -a

Edited again:

^ Nice work Garry :)

I have managed to compile my custom dwm desktop properly (ie, from the ports tree rather than the lazy git method) after following this advice.

(Very) Clean:

Image

Dirty:

Image

I am using `xsetroot` & `date` to set the status box on the right-hand-side of the panel, here is my ~/.xinitrc (plus comments):

Code: Select all

synclient vertedgescroll=1 verttwofingerscroll=0 horizedgescroll=1 horizscrolldelta=10 # configure touchpad
xset s 300 -dpms # screensaver
xsetroot -solid "#002b36" # "wallpaper"
while true; do xsetroot -name "$(date +"%A %B %d, %T")"; sleep 1; done & # status box
exec dwm
I don't use xdm(1) but instead have this line in ~/.profile to launch the desktop automatically after a console login:

Code: Select all

[[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && exec startx

I use this @user .profile --> skiping startX MOTD

Code: Select all

if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
sleep 1s && exec startx >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
On Debian, I think may work on BSD aswell.

Edit: startX on tty1
