Had some probs getting Slack 9 going, but I found a new search Engine..........it's called the "man pages", use these along with google and there is nothing that you can't fix on your own!!

It's been a while since my last so
here is a new one.
This is openbox running gnome-panel and I'm experimenting with Karamba.

Very nice Hcman. Two questions.
1. Is the weather app karamba?
2. Is that an actual shell or is that just part of the desktop? If it is a shell how do you do that?

1) As Proud said, it is Karamba. I had to mess with the script a bit to get it to run with my background.
2) That is a program called
root-tail .
It prints text to the desktop, in this case /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.
That is what you meant right?

I'm pretty sure that someone had it done and I saw it in a screenshot from this thread. I can't find it now. I'm gonna start a new thread on it to see if it can be done.

I think you can have an interactive shell with something like Eterm, or was it ATerm or XTerm...
Maybe not in KDE though, you need to be able to turn off the window decorations, eg borders.

root-portal could be used to provide root-tail like updates of sites.

Oh. I love these threads.
Stupid parsing. It keeps changing and the url format is spacing. Should have been expected from Microsoft.
