Screenshot with FluxAqua 1.2
I've also skipped idesk and am currently trying out gDesklets which works/looks a bit like the OSX bar and you can use it in Gnome2 but it also works in Fluxbox!
Yes!! It's like superkaramba minus kde! You are my hero man. By the way, when did flux start supporting transparency (still love waimea). One more question, and i don't think this has been asked... how are you getting rss feeds on your desktop? cheers man.
Proud: the fade-in with idesk is very nice... but the zooming with gDesklets... WOW!
We're not hitchhiking anymore... we're RIDING!
BigBadPenguin: I don't know what an rss feed is... but you're probably referring to the weather-report? That's also made by gDesklets.
Flux supports transparency in the development version.
apeekaboo, gDesklets is great, and when the user base gets comparable to karamba, it will only get greater. Thanks for the link. Actually I meant the Slashdot and TV guide links (are they links, or just text?) on your desktop. I believe they come in rss or rdf format, that's what i meant. I have found a single news ticker/reader/ that i like/ is stable. i like the simplicity of what you have.
This is lame because I did nothing special with it - I've heavily modifed (basically created) some stuff back on blackbox. But I love this. Just sid-fluxarnation and blackxmms. Not displaying anything else because I just dig that plain fourth desktop.
If the link doesn't work, I'm not surprised. Yuckin' fahoo was being a pain.
And for the RIAA, all that stuff I either also own or was downloaded from Halford.com. (Except the COC cover.)
