Hey FTIO, try not to get burned this year!

Customizing my Fluxbox again, this is what I have so far, what do you think? I am using the development branch of Fluxbox where having buttons on toolbar which execute customized application is possible (like a launcher on toolbar)!

Very interesting look. Nice addition to Fluxbox capabilities.
Btw, I get a "File Not Found" error message on the "high resolution" url.

Thanks, I try again: https://i.ibb.co/mTmVg3j/20201124210...8-24-77-47.png

Rocking classics all 'round.

Forever thankful to all who made it possible!

Burned?

That is indeed gorgeous wallpaper STDOUBT. I am curious though why 32 bit?

I have a very similar classic laptop, a T61P, which I bought used because 1) I rarely use laptops, and 2) that vintage is pre Intel MCE (I always think of it as MCP from Tron). Xmonad is a great idea for running new OS on old hardware. I may try that. I was kind of hoping that Enlightenment would get the toggle thing to switch between DE and Tiling down by now but last I checked it wasn't toggling yet.

It is!
I'm sticking with 32 bit for now since my daily driver (this laptop) is maxed at 4GB RAM.
While I know 64 bit Slackware would play nice enough for most, the way I use my computer
(yes, about a decade ago I decided that a laptop can qualify as a computer 64 bit gets
bogged down on the old thing. I'm one of those 300+ tabs open, never closes my browser type people and I usually pack my RAM pretty full. 32 bit is just more responsive in
my situation. I also loathe the idea of buying anything with a chicklet keyboard.
Curmudgeoney and set in my ways I guess.
As an aside, I switched to a laptop for the power savings and the noise reduction.
Was never able to achieve a silent desktop machine that satisfied my performance
expectations. I'm sure that'd easier nowadays, but I have an old tower for the occasional game of 0AD, and this thinkpad has just grown on me :-)
BTW - I always loved e! But Xmonad is just so...configure and forget!

That is classic and classy! Thanks!

LOL! It'd been so long since anyone else has referenced anything to do with the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers that I wasn't even thinking about it. Good catch and thanks!!

Oh, and apologies to the thread for these few posts of ours if they messed with the flow of things.

Here is my finished customization:

On right in the first screen you can see conky showing different stuff.

In the new Fluxbox toolbar one can have launchers, a very welcome feature, waited for this for several years!

That's IMHO worthy a style-publish somewhere! Quite few bases to cover innit?



Also that feature (icons) is quite welcome to already quite attractive fluxbox, thanks for the headsup!
