Absolutely amazing Bacon.

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?

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

[machinebacon]

You also want to edit ~/.Xresources and fine-tune

URxvt*shading:

After saving, run

xrdb -merge .Xresources

and open a new terminal

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

Wow! Followed your instructions for paletterx. The result is excellent. Thank you, again.

[RandomCharacter]

Ok, this is the current configuration.

^ much nicer indeed!

[machinebacon]

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

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. :)

Back to OpenBSD this morning, with spectrwm:

Time to pretty it up a bit!

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

[machinebacon]

^ 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. ;)

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.
