Haha, well this box is at work, and it's really only used for a couple of simple tasks, such as streaming music with soma and editing text files with nano, so it doesn't need much.

It's actually twm, been using it as my main desktop for two or three years now.

If you start it up from a stock install you would probably think 'I can't use this!' but there's actually quite a lot you can achieve with a bit of reading and a lot of trial and error!

I can't remember where the wallpaper came from, it's been my desktop background for many years now, you're right about the mix of light and darker section though, it does work quite well.

The fuzzy 'T' icons* are the stock twm terminal icons. Pretty much everything you see is running in a xterm. They changed to this when Pat last upgraded twm, I think they were previously a basic line drawing of a terminal. The borders and backgrounds I styled in the .twmrc file but you are right in that I could probably do a little more to style them by this process, I'm quite happy how they are though. You can actually style different icons by application name or type for instance. I guess each one could be different in some way if you put in the time.

I did spend ages setting this up :-) - particularly the icon regions and positioning (yes you're right, location and order are more important to me). They all start up in order on login too, done via the xinitrc file.


*being an Englishman who has become hooked by the baseball bug I'm quite happy with the icons as they are having chosen the Texas Rangers as my team when I first started tuning in about two years ago :-)

This is my Slackware desktop: http://savepic.org/7578310.png

While I don't end up using it much, twm is what I default to on a fresh install. But it doesn't take long to get bspwm (or any of the stuff I use with it) built, so I never end up getting around to configuring twm. You achieve a very clean, functional, and pleasing look to your desktop. If ever I tire of tilers, I will give twm more screen time. Thanks, and kudos!

Pretty old school and non interesting here. I have been using the same desktop for as long as I can remember... I don't like change in my user environment much. I started using XFCE a long time ago (It used GTK+ 1.x and made boing boing sounds when you clicked stuff lol), and configure it similarly to the first release of XFCE4. (It got more Gnomish with its defaults soon after that... blech). I like a large auto hiding panel with all my stuff as panel launchers, or launchers in tear off menus. Some duplication on the panel for things I want quick access to without having to traverse the whole screen. I also use "wrap workspaces at screen edges" which lets me move to other desktops with the mouse in addition to the big graphical pager. Fortunately, XFCE is good at migrating configs between versions.

Anyway, the distro is Slackware Current from around April (with packages mostly all rebuilt and some stuff replaced... I tend to go my own way for a few years between Slack installs, once I get out of sync)

Hi folks. I'm Julius (an ex-Debian user) and this is my desktop:

- Slackware 14.1 -current
- Openbox, Tint2 in multi-desktop mode, conky & wbar
- Roboto fonts and self-made icons for the wbar launcher

That's pretty cool ... I like that.

Hi,

Well then, mine one;)
Xfce + GTK and Qt apps. Generally, I use whichever application suits my needs, not paying attention to the toolkit being used (on the other hand, I pay a lot of attention to the look&feel). Konqueror for file management, Terminator for terminal emulator.

There are literally 3 icons on my desktop, unless there is some drive mounted. Right monitor has keyboard layout for touch typing learning (at work my right monitor has C operators precedence chart...). Xfce has become my desktop of choice since the KDE3 -> KDE4 transition, well, I really love the way the menus were made in the W2K era, so here it is.

Slackware 14.1 64, XFCE.

Hi everyone, this is my desktop

- Slackware 14.1 64 bit
- Dwm

Here's a 2560x1600 screenshot from my 2015 13" MacBook Pro. It's KDE running on slackware64-current.

• wallpaper
• GIMP theme
• Diamond Plasma Theme
• KAwOken KDE icons
• Oxygen Gtk GTK2 Theme

As for the typography? The UI font is Source Sans Pro. The terminal font is Source Code Pro. FreeType has been built with both subpixel rendering and subpixel rendering. Fontconfig is applying the default LCD filter and slight hinting.

(Yes, those two icons between the activities and the task manager are really tiny. Not sure what I can do about that).

It's wonderful! Can you please give a link to this wallpaper? Thank you!

Cheers for dwm! Here's mine:

Julius-Caesar,

your wbar icons are great!
