[a-109-107]

I've been using Linux for 3 years now. Main reason I switched from Windows is because I found window management very unsatisfactory. I started with XMonad on Debian SID but I hit a limit with Haskell. Since then I moved to Arch and to i3wm a few months ago.

I posted here just a few days ago advertising a script I forked dynamic-xcolors, which let's me complete my latest color-related flow. The flow I wanted to achieve is:

+---------------------+               +--------------------------+
|                     |               |                          |
|  g/vim color theme  +---------------+  window manager theme    |
|                     |               |                          |
|                     |               |                          |
+----------------+----+               +--------------------------+
                 |                                                
                 |                    +--------------------------+
                 |                    |                          |
                 |                    | Matching terminal schemes|
                 |                    | Dynamically switchable   |
                 +------------------->+                          |
                                      |                          |
                                      |                          |
                                      |                          |
                                      +--------------------------+

The loop is now complete, thanks to the themer script, and the above-mentioned.

I find ricing a enjoyable past-time and a nice thing to do inbetween more daunting tasks at work - that's why I'm here. Attached is a picture of what I'm sporting now - I turn gaps off most of the time.

I use urxvt, i3bar, dunst for notifications and use Luculent for the font everywhere.

On my 'rice-todo' list I have the following items pending

- prepare offlineimap/isync for use with mutt (tried 3 times now)
- finish my a dropdown term that would emulate quaketerm but respect different monitor sizes.

It's been ages since I've been active on a forum for purposes other than fixing something.

Do you guys hang out in irc somewhere?

ps. I only respect tiled wallpapers and have a sizeable stash of them if anyone wants anything from older windows versions

nice intro a##.

Do you guys hang out in irc somewhere?

Yep

Code: Select all

Nice scrot. Question: do you think you have enough of a use-case for a drop-down term? I ask b/c either way you would assign it a hotkey combo I'm assuming. So its either that or spawn a term. Don't mean to haggle on your project, just curious is all.
How about leveraging 'scratchpad'? FWIW, I thought I saw something around recently regarding a drop-down term, but don't remember where.

Welcome.

nough of a use-case for a drop-down term?

I added it to my xmonad halfway in my xmonad days and it really changed my flow a lot.
The use case I had was that I considered one tmux session a 'desktop' session, where I have my file navigator and a scratch-pad for launching/moving/installing stuff. This way the other tmuxes are 'clean' and hold only command related to that project.

I know of the scratch-pad feature in i3 and that's halfway to what I need. Because i3 is a bit limited when it comes to sizing windows - I can't just have a quake-like term across differently sized screens - or at least it's a few wizardry levels above me.

Looks like you will be a fantastic asset to the community, a-109-107 :D Welcome to the 'bbq!

Welcome to the Linux beer festival ;)

[wuxmedia]

Welcome, good intro.
nice scrot, love the bar :)
I like the superscript workspaces idea.

a few guys at work use dropdown terms , because they have itty bitty laptops (compared to my old schleptop) and don't seem to like use the workspaces much.
