Beautiful Dkeg!
When I'm a millionaire - would you consider doing the interior for my man cave?

Nothing much,
  • Colorview, env-info, cmus all organized nicely for the scrot.
    Wall effect with hsetroot blur and brightness options.
    Notification 10s using bar set with a keybinding. Would like to set auto on song song change, but that's another day.
    Colors are still browntown2 and font is neep.

Very nice, rescued it over the page break for more admiration ;) Love the blur! Have you got it uploaded somewhere?

Brilliant, thanks a lot! Goes well with many of those brownish themes!

I somehow developed suddenly a mild erection for useless gaps and the borders in 2bwm, and as I fancy floating windows to be in bad taste, I rekindled my old romance with Herbstluftwm. Ratpoison had gone a tad stale in my mouth, but now I'm nursing a semi again for a wm.

Other specs mostly still the same: conkeror, weechat, ncmpcpp, tty-clock, urxvt and tmux. Also conky for some bloatness. Bar is dzen2, font termsyn. Colors are shamelessly ripped off from Emacs Jazz theme, this one: https://github.com/donderom/jazz-theme
The weird shit next to browser is just some grep in a loop from my org todo-files.

And the scrot apparently made psychedelic artefacts, as the two monitors have different resolutions.

nice one. herbstluftwm is a top notch wm. My scrots don't show it, but I still use it.

Thanks. Your scrots were a huge inspiration, if I'm honest (both 2bwm and Hlwm).

slowly moving from i3 to herbstluftwm. finally starting to understand how to use fonts with dzen2 properly.
050515_0257.png
the dzen2 config is still a hack though; there is no proper align_right, just the textwidth program which, at least dzen2-textwidth, does not work with xft fonts, thus measuring nothing. so i set the width of the right bit manually, but this will obviously fuck up again when i want to add, for example, moc output. so i'll see how to circumvent that (2nd bar perhaps?). in the meantime i found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180244 however libxft-dev pulls in a shitload of other stuff that i am not sure i want to commit myself to. still experimenting, will see what happens.

btw, anybody have any idea whether it is possible to open each new window in its own frame? i hate that in hlwm you cannot reorder/resize windows, only frames, so figured letting each have its own frame would be the best workaround.

Wow Rhow, exceptional scrot and you are surprising again. :) Love that wall, feel free to share it. :)

As for the rest I cannot help you, never used hlwm.

yeah rho, you're on fire!

One of the things I really like about the herbst is saving layouts. You can save a layout for each workspace; even adding to you autostart. For example in my autostart, I have

Code: Select all

# iRc
hc load iRc '
(split vertical:0.670000:0 
    (split horizontal:0.430000:1 
    (clients vertical:0 0xc00009) 
    (clients vertical:0 0x1400009)) 
    (clients vertical:0 0x1600009))
'
# mEdiA
hc load mEdiA '
(clients vertical:0 0x1a00009)
'
# cLi
hc load cLi '
(split horizontal:0.400000:0 
    (split vertical:0.780000:0 
    (clients vertical:0 0xe00009) 
    (clients vertical:0 0x1800009)) 
    (clients vertical:0 0x1000009))
Also, check the Arch boards for herbstluftwm. There is a thread by ninjaaron, the king of the herbst. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128646

And finally, make life easy and set an alias in you .bash_aliases

Code: Select all

alias hauto="[editor] $HOME/.config/herbstluftwm/autostart"

thanks guys, and for all the tips and stuff!
@drew: what is your alias for? restarting it? because the docs say best way to do so is

Code: Select all

herbstclient reload
and was planning on making an alias for that :)
