Rezza I didn't know you were a moderator here...

Yeah, only recently, and I haven't seen you around these parts for a while - welcome back anyway ;)

I still use your themes most of the time with OB3, man, using a slightly hacked Tropic Ocean right now in fact. But I agree with your reservations posted over at f.g.o - there doesn't really seem to be anywhere else to take OB3 theming, which is a shame because it is a truly excellent WM.

Download the file FVWM-Pasq.tar.bz2 to your home dir, then do

rm -R .fvwm
tar -xjf FVWM-Pasq.tar.bz2
ln -s .fvwm-pasq .fvwm

WARNING It will delete your old .fvwm config

Agreed & agreed.

While my Neowin-presence has been all but nil these days, I always look forward to the screenshots offered on this thread. I've been recycling themes + .Xdefaults + panels; unfortunately, despite thinking that I had implemented something truly genuine, I'd soon realise that most of my thoughts were already conceived. :(

I end up borrowing ideas from shots of other WM's capabilities.

Ob3 truly is a versatile WM; I've taken advantage of many pipe scripts suggested @ f.g.o (nightmare's 'screen' session management, for instance.) It's xml configs aren't too shabby, either.

    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....
