Animacide, your link requires people to log into a forum to see the screenie.

Any chance you could host it somewhere without that? (like imageshack.us)

I'm lving that screenie, sentio.

Have you got a background with ion there? Or is it an Eterm viewport like mode for the terminals?

Thanks! I'm loving it too! :happy:

It's a wallpaper that's visible through transparent URxvts.

I have uploaded it especially for you, and it's available right here.

Ion3 is amazingly quick, and it's extremely functional once you get the hang of it. I plug it every chance I get. :blush:

As long as Tuomov (the author) feels the same way about other alternatives as I do, I'm set for life. ;)

Thanks for uploading that wallpaper sentio, it's a great shot :)

How do I get a wallpaper in ion 3? I had a trawl through the man pages, but I didn't see anything on setting a wallpaper, and xsetroot, fbsetbg etc haven't worked.

Nevermind, I worked out the background thing. It seems that it doesn't appear in a blank frame, but it will appear through a transparent window :p

Anyway, this is my shot, I've shamelessly gone sentio's route with ion3 :shifty:

The bottom left app is mocp, (music on console player) a music server.

I use feh to scale the image to the background.

So, something like:

feh --bg-scale /home/sentio/graphics/wallpapers/11linuxkb.jpg

to initially set up the background, and in ~/.xinitrc:

<snipped>
eval `cat ~/.fehbg`
ion3

to set the image before ion3 starts.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
