WINDOWLAB: Psychedelic Shitstorm (i686) Release News

Unread post by pidsley » Thu Feb 06, 2014 9:04 pm

It is with trepidation and mild contempt that I announce the release of "LinuxBBQ Psychedelic Shitstorm". Based on the 2014 Spring release, Psychedelic Shitstorm features the Windowlab window manager and a special random theme generator script.

kernel is 3.12-8.towo-siduction-686

"wl-set-theme" script creates a random Windowlab theme:

If wallpaper images are found in ~/.windowlab/wallpapers, one is chosen at random, otherwise, a solid color is chosen.
Colors for all the Windowlab UI elements are chosen at random from a list, but no color is used twice.
Fonts are also chosen at random from a list; users can add fonts and colors to the lists from which these are chosen.
All of the xcolors from the linuxbbq github are included (at /usr/share/xcolors) and one is chosen at random.

If there is enough interest, I will write a how-to topic for modifying the random themes.

It is also possible to generate a "plain" theme, and the "wl-save-theme" script saves any random theme for later use.

Due to possible licensing and copyright restrictions, no wallpapers are included with this release,
but it is very simple to find suitable walls on the web.

As usual, username and password are bbq/bbq, and bbqinstaller does the installation work.

I believe that you may have managed to bottle and package how Rho sees his OB install on a normal day. :)

@pids: despite my interests and inclinations, i am sadly not the owner of any psychedelic wallpapers. but seeing how everyone creates their own reality, it might be best to have them pick their own wallpapers :)
