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)

Sorry about that, didn't realize you needed to be logged in to see gallery images from ubuntuforums. Well, here's take two:

Setup: Hoary with NVidia TwinView (Nested shot is iBook running Breezy)

Desktop:

GTK/Metacity: Xi-AlBook_V2 Mod

Icons/Cursor: Gant

Wall: Magnifia by Dronsu

Laptop:

GTK/Metacity: SmoothEvil (a theme I made) / Nuvola Old

Icons/Cursor: Gant

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:

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.

    • Microsoft Eyes DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Cowork: What Azure Hosting Cannot Fix

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm
