Re: spectrwm
Diddy and I were on irc last night and we got to looking for wallpapers. We both found (different) ones we really liked.
So, I decided to change my theme to go with it. I really like it overall, but I can't see a thing in the irssi and htop status lines - the text is almost invisible against the background. I am not experienced at theming, so I really have no idea how to make small changes to a theme that I 99% love. Does anyone have a tip as to what setting I should fiddle with to only affect those status bars?

Re: spectrwm
run "dkeger" and choose a theme
to find themes, open "ranger" and navigate to /home/$USER/xcolors/xcolor_visual

Re: spectrwm
You also want to edit ~/.Xresources and fine-tune
URxvt*shading:
After saving, run
xrdb -merge .Xresources
and open a new terminal

Re: spectrwm
Thanks, machinebacon. Yes, dkeger was what I used to select that theme. I will look at your other tips to try to make adjustments.

Re: spectrwm
^ that's true :) Personally, I would darken the shading a bit, but that's just me :)

Re: spectrwm
Nice looking, Tim. I'll have to get some decent scrot under ratpoison with my new bald eagle wall. Still doesn't feel that special, though. :)

Re: spectrwm
Bones, how do you get the windows to NOT cover the entire background? That is cool.

^ Looks they are manually stacked (alt + right click -> resize, alt + left click -> move)

Alt+t will change from tiling to stacking layout on a window. ;)RandomCharacter wrote:Bones, how do you get the windows to NOT cover the entire background? That is cool.

After much hacking, a Bowlful of Slack with spectrwm:
NOTE: As I have a Slackware 14.1 (32-bit) disk set here at work, I did cheat some, and installed several packages from disks, in addition to SlackBuilds.
