Linux System Stats Script - Produced by our own Neowin members, Haggis and +xorangekiller!

Not a lot has changed since last month..Same wallpaper at the moment. I need to get my networking properly...For some reason, this laptop can't see my Debian server, yet my two Windows computers can...And it has all my wallpapers lol

But updated to Jessie, and the 3.11.2 kernel. First time I've compiled a kernel.

Also using the new Haggis Stats 2.0 program, works good :)

Arch Linux x64

XFCE 4.10

Theme: Zukitwo

Wallpaper: Taken from here

Icons: Faelementary

UI Font: Droid Sans

The wallpaper actually spans two monitors, but I've modified the wallpaper to compensate for the screen bezel and differing resolutions so it looks crap as a screenshot, therefore I'm only showing my main monitor.

Not a whole lot has changed on my desktop since the last time I posted in one of these threads, other than my desktop background and the new Icedove and Minecraft icons pinned to my top panel that is. My desktop background comes from the Autumn 2013 theme posted here. In case anyone is interested, I posted my script for extracting and sanitizing backgrounds from "Windows 8 Desktop Themepacks" below.
 

 

#!/bin/bash

ARCHIVE_MANAGER_EXEC='file-roller'
EXTRACT_DIRECTORY='deskthemes'
DESKTOP_BACKGROUND_DIRECTORY="$EXTRACT_DIRECTORY/DesktopBackground"

which $ARCHIVE_MANAGER_EXEC 1>/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    ARCHIVE_MANAGER_EXEC=engrampa
    
    which $ARCHIVE_MANAGER_EXEC 1>/dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "ERROR: Archive manager is not installed!" 1>&2
        exit 1
    fi
fi

if [ -e $EXTRACT_DIRECTORY ]; then
    echo "Deleting: $EXTRACT_DIRECTORY"
    rm -rf $EXTRACT_DIRECTORY
fi

for file in *.deskthemepack; do
    echo "Extracting: $file"
    $ARCHIVE_MANAGER_EXEC --extract-to=$EXTRACT_DIRECTORY --force "$file"
done

if [ ! -d $DESKTOP_BACKGROUND_DIRECTORY ]; then
    echo "ERROR: Directory \"$DESKTOP_BACKGROUND_DIRECTORY\" does not exist!" 1>&2
    exit 2
fi

for file in $DESKTOP_BACKGROUND_DIRECTORY/*.*; do
    new_file="$file"
    
    echo "$new_file" | grep -Eqs '\.[jJ][pP][eE]{0,1}[gG]$'
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "$new_file" | grep -qs '\.jpg$'
        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
            new_file="$(echo $new_file | awk 'BEGIN {FS="."} {for (i=1;i<NF;i++) {printf $i"."}; print "";}')jpg"
        fi
    fi
    
    echo "$new_file" | grep -Eqs '[0-9]+\s*x\s*[0-9]+'
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        new_file="$(echo "$new_file" | awk 'BEGIN {FS="_*[0-9]+\s*x\s*[0-9]+"} {for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) {printf $i}; print ""}')"
    fi
    
    if [ "x$file" = "x$new_file" ]; then
        echo "TOUCHING: $file"
    else
        echo "MOVING: $file $new_file"
        mv "$file" "$new_file"
    fi
    touch "$new_file"
done

exit 0

Playing around with the "Numix" theme.  I like it for the most part.  I got it from their PPA, as found on their website: http://numixproject.org/

Keuka, nice ones. Can you share the name of theme and how you done that? PM me if you want. :)

 

Edit: Never mind, I figured out conky manager, but I still want to know your theme.

It's the default elementary theme. There's a download here that should get the same results for you (assuming Gnome or XFCE). Don't know what the icons are though, they look pretty good with the theme though :).

OpenSUSE 12.3. Really been enjoying it! Can't Wait for 13.1 to polish it up! The only annoying things I have experienced has to do with Steam.

Nothing fancy. Just starting up with #! and really loving it on the laptop.

What Desktop environment are you using?

[Grunt]

#! comes with Openbox. Very lightweight.
