That's an incredibly sleek desktop. (Y)

I have a qq:

How did you manage to get torsmo to work with bitstream (sans-bold?)

Also, I noticed that you published a guide for Xorg-cvs + Composites. How would I be able to implement it in the standard package from Gentoo's portage? Would only the xorg.conf changes suffice?

Why thank you!

I grabbed it from cvs. The version in portage is still 0.17 i think, and that doesn't support antialiased fonts, but there is an ebuild floating around the gentoo forums (search for "torsmo issues") which will let you use decent fonts. See the configs section of my site if you need a hint on how the font should be setup in the .torsmorc.

Yep, that will be fine... assuming that the nerw xorg installs an xcompmgr binary and a transset binary. If it doesn't (and i really don't know if it does or it doesn't) then you'll have to get those two from cvs or something. Details are in the same guide.

Sweet!

I found a wiki entry that does the trick. Thanks!

It's been a while since I last posted my desktop, so here goes nothin'. :)

This is my main rig's desktop. While most of my other machines run wmi-10 as their wm, I decided to spoil this particular machine with Openbox + soft dropshadows. :blush:

[Apps from Top-Left to Bottom-Right: Pypanel, Rox-filer (can't remember the Mimetype-set,) torsmo-cvs, pympc (python-based client for musicpd,) and gmrun.]

OpenBox is running the OfficeBlue theme, with a slightly modified Industrial gtk2 set.

Oh, and the wall is sunny-tropics by some vector-artist I discovered thanks to Neowin.

Thanx again :D

It is in polish language but still you can see the screens :)

Your site looks very interesting and cool, but unfortunately I can't understand polish; have you got an english version of it?

p.s. Your wallpaper collection is excellent!

The english version , well i think about it but my counter on the site is about 100~150 visits a day. This is too small for me :( and the most people are from Poland. Anyway i will consider to change not all to english , but maybe some of them , like menu , gallery , walls ...

I don't have the good idea to change to english , i have a texts about fedora linux in polish , also i had a news in polish language that will be still in polish so .... i think about it but i don't promise anything.

When i think about the site in english the better will be do the hole page in english but this is too much work for me , i haven't got free time to do that.

I finally managed to get linux running on my 486. It took ages to find something that would install, and I had to hack around with it for an inordinate amount of time, but eventually I got ubuntu running on it:

clean

and

dirty

Openbox 3.2, urxvt, and dillo, the mighty mighty browser of kings!

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
