I don't know but they both look pretty rizzo
[editline]15th November 2011[/editline]
oh yeah vlc and lcd are rizzo what a coincidence.
Decided to see how usable I could make Gnome 3 with Arch. Turns out, with a bit of tweaking, it's a great alternative to Gnome 2.

Panel at the bottom is Tint2 (Removed the clock since there's one at the top anyway).
Theme is the [URL="http://0rax0.deviantart.com/art/GNOME-Shell-eOS-262479724"]eOS[/URL] theme.

Playing around with light colours. Also making the theme mesh properly with the terminal background:

Why not extend your taskbar to use the whole bottom of your screen? Its just dead space since your maximized windows aren't even using that area...

I used to drag windows to that "dead space" so I could just click over and then click back to switch between windows.

Those look fantastic, although I can't stand light colors as they singe my retinas at night.

Well equivalently I could say that extending the taskbar would cause dead space since I don't ever have so many programs open as to cover the whole window switcher. Also what wauterboi posted.
Mainly aesthetics though.
I accidentally installed Unity DE. I'm going to try Arch next.

Arch is great. Don't forget about the [URL="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page"]Arch Wiki[/URL], it's great!
The beginners' guide may be relevant to you.

I almost never have that many applications open either. I'm just set in having take the whole bottom of the screen (way its always been for me :/).
Ah right. I actually discovered a new use. I can scroll in that area and it allows me to quickly change workspaces without removing my fingers from the home row (I have a Thinkpad so can move the mouse with the trackpoint and scroll with my thumbs on the trackpad).

Installed just yesterday! [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/emoot/buddy.gif[/img]
At the moment it's very basic. Conky looks like shit, I just downloaded a config to make it useful, edited it some more to put in some battery info.
The background was found in ten minutes on wallbase.net. The Awesome bar theme hasn't been edited yet, but I will. I've focussed mainly on getting things to work, getting my awesome tags just right, getting the keybinds to work the way I want them to etc.
Arch Linux + Awesome WM = god tier. Sadly I don't see many people use awesome anymore. What happened?
Well, I think most people have realized minimalism is lame.
[QUOTE=snuwoods;33804778]Well, I think most people have realized minimalism is lame.[/QUOTE]
Minimalism isn't my primary goal, productivity is. I find myself very productive with AwesomeWM. Besides I love customizing it. Sadly I haven't had much time for customization yet.
Minimalism isn't lame unless it affects productivity.
[QUOTE=FPtje;33800762]Sadly I don't see many people use awesome anymore. What happened?[/QUOTE]
I still do! I love it simply because I can manage windows without fiddling with any window borders.

Do you have [url=http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Revelation]awesome-revelation[/url]? It's an awesome OSX Exposé like script which is very useful. It puts all the windows in a tiled tag. Left clicking a window will then select that window and open it in its appropriate tag.
I just made my [url=https://github.com/bioe007/awesome-revelation/pull/3]first git pull request ever[/url] for this script. It adds a functionality to close windows with middle click when in revelation mode. This is awesome (quite literally) if you want to close a bunch of windows at once.
I've seen it, but I never really bothered to get into it. I'm going to try it right after I get this homework done.
Mind if I add you on steam? I have no linux friends. :saddowns:
[editline]21st December 2011[/editline]
I just tried revelation; I would love it if it worked as I expected it to.
Using the normal AUR [url=https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362]awesome[/url] install, activating revelation works just fine until I click a window. It takes me to the tag and moves the windows back into their positions, but the windows don't resize to the way they were originally; leaving me with some kind of freak accordion desktop:
[img]http://j.mp/tdXq3J[/img]
Using the AUR's [url=https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13916]awesome-git[/url] causes revelation to be even less functional; revelation moves all the windows to my screen properly, but moving my mouse at all automatically selects the window under the cursor. Then it [I]still[/I] doesn't re-size the windows properly.
awesome-git also has a nasty bug that seems to get my cursor stuck re-sizing or moving a window occasionally.
Are you able to shed light on the matter?

Any Awesome Lua errors in your login manager's config file?
No errors in ~/.xsession-errors and none that get displayed.
I found adding floating = true property to all windows makes revelation behave in reverse. Not resizing them when cluttering them to my screen, but properly placing them back where they belong with their original sizes.
I don't use Awesome as a tiling window manager, is that a reason why revelation doesn't work?

I only have one tag that holds floating windows. I put some windows in there, opened up revelation and closed it again. To my surprise, revelation did not move the windows to their original positions, nor did it reset the original sizes.
I will issue a bug and I'll attempt to fix it.
The problem is that it doesn't save window position/size when going into revelation, and it doesn't restore them when going out of revelation.
EDIT:
I've fixed the floating windows bug. I'm going to clean up the code, commit and send another pull request :D
EDIT:
Oh I can't send another pull request, because there's already one open. I could update the old one though:
[url]https://github.com/bioe007/awesome-revelation/pull/3[/url]
Sweet, it was merged and now revelation works perfectly! Thanks.

Linux makes you feel like a pro hacker. That combined with the fact that the terminal is [i]very[/i] useful is one of the things that makes Linux awesome.
I just made a program that makes your desktop flash to active system sounds. (mouseover for sound)
[vid]http://j.mp/sKdXkN[/vid]
For arch linux users you can get it from the AUR under the name liveamp.
For everyone else there's a git server here: [url]https://github.com/naelstrof/liveamp[/url]
It follows pretty standard usage, install then run liveamp --help for some tips on how to use it.
Please contact me if you have trouble; I would really love to help you get it working.

It should work for nouveau drivers now, but it's much less cool because it can't use a custom shader to make cool colors or properly display an image.
