I think I like how my new background looks , and made some adjustments to the text color for both the terminal and panel - I think it came out quite nicely
Revisited spectrwm and I've been really liking it. Wrote the scripts for baraction, and have a few more to do. Window management is as clean and smooth as xmonad, and that's saying a lot.
Haven't made transparency work though, either with xcompmgr or compton. Any spectrwm users using transparency, let me know your experiences.

Has anyone here seen any examples of code that can create mouseover effects in Conky? I'd love to be able to keep minimal focus or contrast normally but bring into high contrast/focus/visibilty with a simple mouseover.
I decided to play with KDE4 again, its a little better I guess and perhaps I judged it too harshly at first. Finally got the color scheme to my liking, disabled all the annoying animations and useless eye candy:
I will say this about KDE4 - it at least sucks less than GNOME 3 - but that is not saying much; and fsck the desktop cashew, it can go die horribly! Also, when quitting KDE4 - I have been staring at this for minutes:
Sure a ^C all it takes, but seems like a dumb glitch to me. I am probably the only one experiencing this, but then again this is just a normal vanilla Slackware install without any multilib so, I don't know. Maybe its just how KDE4 is and perhaps doesn't have this issue in the next release *shrug*.
I'd still like TDE a lot more than KDE. I'd actually wouldn't mind a TDE release for the next Slackware, after all we have MATE for Slackware so why not TDE.
-edit
Also, how come no icons like home and trash at least? I would have thought that would be on there by default.
Hey Jeebiz I don't dislike KDE and don't have a number of issues you experience but that may just be the difference between a hard install and a VM and/or that you apprently launch KDE directly from runlevel 3 where I launch KDM to get the graphical chooser login screen. That said I strongly agree with you that TDE is a superb DE that deserves a great deal more attention and accolades than it does. I too wish it would be an included DE but there are some conflicts with KDE and TDE is sadly no longer being developed so I doubt we will ever see it.
I suppose it might be possible to setup TDE entirely in /opt and try to keep it highly separated from KDE in /usr but I also suspect that may be more trouble than it is worth.

That happens to me too: it’s actually just a late message. There is no need for ^c, you can just type as it’s already at a command prompt (look up a few lines from the bottom).
I don’t know why there are no default icons: I think they are there if you add a desktop folder view though. I suspect that since KDE is expecting to be heavily custominized they don’t want to try and dictate anything.
