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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
