Kinda crossposted from r/linux4noobs :)

Folks who know me know that I probably haven't changed my wallpaper in about three years. Been working for the last couple of days on some conky tweaks and thought I'd share a couple screenshots.

WM is openbox, the normally hidden panel is tint2 and since tint2 doesn't have a pager I had to kinda sorta make a quick and dirty pager you'd use by clicking on the desktop names - visible in second screenshot.

Anyway, I kinda like it. I especially like getting to share a screenshot that's different from the one I've used for the past two or three years :)

No, I just googled for 1920x1080 carbon wallpaper and stumbled across it.

openbox menu is about the same color as the desktop and integrates pretty well :)

GNOME:

Changed shell to zsh with grml's configuration (providing the spell correction and menu-style autocompletion, git status is also included in the prompt) and zsh-syntax-highlighting. It's running in (u)xterm with a custom autostart script to merge the .Xresources file manually, otherwise the configuration doesn't work under Wayland.

I compiled newest version of mpd. The newest version is 0.21.16. In Debian repos MPD is 0.21.5-3, and this Debian version crashed sporadically. The newest version works like a charm....also, to be on the safe side, i compiled newest versions of mpc (0.32) and development version ncmpcpp.

Did you include the patch for the configuration file location?

Here's a version that does: https://software.opensuse.org//download ... ackage=mpd

No i don't...but MPD reads my config file, which I placed in

$ systemctl --user enable mpd.service
Here my config:

playlist_directory  "~/Playlists"

Hey, HoaS -

I converted my background image into a 640x480 png grub wallpaper and figured old crunchbangers like us might like something like that :)

grub wallpaper - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pF-_Y ... M_6-xGjFqb

original image -1920x1080 jpg - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ljGar ... 4mxqt-Eq4F

Enjoy :)

Glad you like it - I did figure out that if I kept the filename consistent I could just drop any 640x480 8-bit png into /boot/grub and not have to update grub every time i changed the image :)

cheers -

Post to celebrate the official release of SharpBang GNU/Linux, a live ISO image that can be used to install a pre-configured Openbox/Tint2 desktop running on Debian stable:

Only Debian stable repositories are used with a single custom .deb package supplying the desktop configuration.
