Hi,

I'll list the ones I know of:

http://themes.freshmeat.net - themes for almost every wm

http://www.gooeylinux.org - mainly centered around gnome and the osx look

http://www.kde-look.org - themes for kde

http://art.gnome.org - themes for gnome

http://www.themedepot.org - themes for many wms

I guess you are looking for gkrellm.

Gentoo sais:

*  app-admin/gkrellm

      Latest version available: 2.2.1

      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]      Size of downloaded files: 648 kB

      Homepage:    http://www.gkrellm.net/

      Description: Single process stack of various system monitors

      License:    GPL-2

if you don't mean that you might want to look

at the gnome capplets, xfce-plugins. ( if you want them in the bottom bar or where ever your gnome/xfce bar is located )

or gdesklets, karamba, superkaramba ( if you want the stats on the desktop, like OSX's dashboard )

kindest regards,

Moritz "neofeed" Angermann

FVWM Beginner's Guide

Warning: Not for the faint of heart!

While the title suggests otherwise, .fvwm2rc's can take a while to get used to. The sample code provided will give you a useable (but ugly) desktop. Make sure you read the documentation thoroughly before attempting to create your own theme from scratch. It's better to ignore the snippets that you've obtained throughout the years, and to actually understand the inner workings of Fvwm.

Have fun!

As all of you have noticed, Gooeylinux has been dead. Mike and I have become very busy in recent months, and have had neither the time nor the motivation to continue running the forum. Mike started this site as a haven for linux users from other communities, and I feel that we've done that. But there are at this point many other places one can turn to for Linux GUI customization, and forums need a very strong body of members contributing to survive. Gooeylinux was a fun, but failed experiment.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the site. We met lots of interesting people, and I hope we helped some people as well. The IRC channel (#gooeylinux - irc.freenode.net) will stay open, so feel free to join us there. Also, all the subprojects of gooeylinux will remain available. Archives of the forum will appear shortly. If you have any comments/questions, email me.

Tinkering and hacking others themes is necessary to really get it. Docs are very limited. So get stuff and hack! That's what I did.

http://art.gnome.org/

http://www.themedepot.org/

you need images for pixmap themes and practice?

the .wba extension is seen as a zip type by file-roller ;)

Errors

Whether gtk, metacity, or icon theming, errors may or may not be printed in vt1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) depending on the distro you use. Mandrake used to, but doesn't seem to anymore. Debian's and Fedora do. You can easily get the errors by running

gnome-theme-manager

in an X terminal (Gnome Terminal, Aterm, Eterm, Xterm, rxvt etc....).

Metacity

Metacity has a nice tool. The

metacity-theme-viewer

Run it from an X terminal;

metacity-theme-viewer name_of_metacity_theme

[example]metacity-theme-viewer d3a

and you can find out how fast it loads and errors pointing to any problems with loading the theme. It opens a gui to show you all the different aspects of the theme.

Scalable Vector Graphics

This is what I'm currently interested in and researching. Instead of pixmap, you can make svg/gtk and metacity themes, and of course icon themes.

    • "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year
    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
