Too bright in my eyes But simple and clean !
Just curious the spec of your computer.
It would likely agree with you on the brightness if I wasn't using redshift. And especially so if I used my computer in a darker environment: I either have a fairly bright room lamp on or my shades open to lots of sunlight.
The actual machine isn't all that special: 2.3 GHz AMD dual core, 2 GB RAM, AMD integrated graphics, 320 GB HDD. It's more than powerful enough to run any of the DE/WMs and all of my favorite software.
I'm not sure why it took me so long to realize I could just run xfce4-power-manager to handle suspend/resume/powermanagement in Openbox. Since that was the only thing stopping me running this on my Laptop, I present my new Slackware Work Laptop
I'll have to work on the conky a bit, it's copied straight off my desktop and doesn't work with this wallpaper

That's what I do too. I run Fluxbox with xfce4-power-manager. Suspend and resume have worked great for me since Slackware 12.2.

Thanks!
Every desktop style is personal, I'm enjoy it and in nature want to know the person behind the scene.So it's like psychologist try to understand a person through handwriting
IMHO, users of fluxbox or typical WMs is special in simplicity. They choose fluxbox mostly not because his hardware low in spec. Your spec more than enough to run KDE and still you prefer Fluxbox.
LOL. Your desktop background kind of reminds me of a Win 95 boot splash screen I once did years ago. I fired up paint and drew a desert scene with a saguaro, an empty highway, and a storm off in the distance. I then wrote Win 95 in the same manner that you wrote the Slackware message. I wish I still had that splash screen around. Someone had seen it once when my laptop was booting up and got a chuckle out of it. I suppose I'll have to do up a similar splash screen for Slackware now.
Wow, where did you get that wallpaper? It's awesome!
I have sort of accumulated quite a few wallpapers over the last couple years, mostly from reddit.com/r/wallpapers and 4chan.org/wg (4chans probably NSFW).
I've attached the wallpaper, and uploaded my collection to minus (I don't have anywhere better to upload them )
Wow, you've got some really cool ones there. I like the ones with the surreal alternate world type look to them. And the one called "Parrot" reminds me of an old video game I used to play called Oddworld.
