Posts barren of screenshots - are we as easy to distract as this example shows?
Is the human factor again proven to be the weakest link in the chain?
Backdrop is a screenshot of an screenshot (of an game i like)
But now, aren't we objectifying the robot??
Going out on a limb here, adding the WM sleep theme desktop. Any comments?
It's not my fault. I am so in trouble now...

I'm ready to move away from the recent flame war.
Here's my first attempt at installing & configuring bspwm. I used the SlackBuilds for 14.2.
Note you need both the bspwm and sxhkd packages, as they each have configuration files that are necessary for this tiling window manager to operate.
I didn't make many changes in the default bspwmrc / sxhkdrc files (installed in ~/.config/bspwm and ~/.config/sxhkd folders respectively).
Just changed their default terminal to xfce4-terminal, and changed the default active window color and border width, and added a line to load a wallpaper file ("feh --bg-fill [selected.jpg]").
I've also installed dmenu, which is a program launcher called by the keybinding [WindowsKey]+Spacebar. You can see dmenu at the top of the screenshot.
One of the nice features of this tiling window managers, compared with i3, is the ability to have one large tile (in my case the left half of the screen) into which you can transfer any one of the other tile contents simply by activating that tile with the mouse and using [WidowsKey]+G.
You can see conky is running in a lower right tile. Note it has to be one of the conky configs that is NOT transparent; that is, it has its own window. Otherwise it will run on the root window but everything else will conceal it as they tiles automatically expand to fill the screen.
just doing some evening work on my ZaReason Strata 7440. Kind of boring. Latest x86_64 current with xfce, distcc, and google chrome from the slackbuild.
New algorithm for grabbing the screen and making a wallpaper from it: this time it remaps the screen-grab along a sort of corridor. clicky
p.s. Funny thing is, I actually don't use urxvt aside from its transparency in screenshots. The keys get all screwy in most programs, no matter what I do.

Men don't understand this because men are rarely objectified. The problem would be obvious if this forum were mainly women.

It isn't, so go away, you whiny little wimp. If the 'women' of the forum you so agonizingly dragged your sorry hide from don't like what I or anyone else does with pictures of women we find good looking, that's too bad. "I'm offended" has never been a valid counterpoint in any discussion. You're
offended, so what, why should I care?
FTIO the reason you should care is because IF someone else is being objectified (not treated as a human being with rights) then the same could happen to you. The key here though is nobody is being objectified, especially against their will. The woman in question is obviously a fashion model who makes a living capitalizing on her beauty. It is ludicrous to assume she was forced against her will into choosing that profession, since many more seek such employment than actually succeed,so even if someone even imagines it is still objectifying, it is her choice effectively negating anyone's concern. It's just another example of the negative effects of so-called Political Correctness.

You can get your desired transparency with xfce4-terminal as well...
