Don't bother. But you're still off topic.

OK. Fixed that.

Billtoo,

That's a very nice looking Slacko.

I saw the full background of the same pic in the woof-CE build thread, but didn't realize until this pic the green window theme that makes it all 'pop'. Which window theme is that?? Also, I bet if you made the sidebar tray transparent, and also the bottom tray transparent, that look would come exploding right off your screen & cause ya to want to go hiking!

P.S. Can't believe you've got a Presario too. Bought mine in summer 2005, bet we have the same one. I replaced the chip in it, and boosted the ram to 8GB, otherwise it's still churning on as good as new stuff (of course, I've no graphics cards to worry about).

Hi belham2,

I installed a better graphics card and sound card, rooted around the house yesterday and found more ram to install in it.
The JWM theme is Eucalyptus from radky's JWM_themes_update-2.0.pet also have JWMDesk-2.4.pet installed.
01micko makes great pups but they're kind of ugly imho

I find wallpaper at wallpaperscraft.com, big selection.

Thanks.

Tahrpup 6.0.5 Star Trek

musher0 · #83 Post by **musher0** » Thu 21 Sep 2017, 04:35

What? Where did you get that?! I want one!

rufwoof · #84 Post by **rufwoof** » Thu 21 Sep 2017, 12:49

Me also!

Couldn't resist not copying ... so I did a reverse image lookup and grabbed ... http://gedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/L ... PadPro.png

(Clickable thumbnail)

Big thanks to BigPup.

PS : for reference regarding the htop display at the bottom of screen ....

I use xterm as my default terminal, so rxvt is otherwise pretty much unused. So I set that to have no window title ... etc. in jwmrc configuration

<Group>
<Name>rxvt</Name>
<Option>nolist</Option>
<Option>noborder</Option>
<Option>notitle</Option>
<Option>sticky</Option>
<Option>nopager</Option>
</Group>

I also have a jwm startup command to launch

<StartupCommand>rxvt-desktop</StartupCommand>

where rxvt-desktop is a script in the PATH that runs rxvt executing htop

#!/bin/sh
rxvt +sb -geometry 60x6+800+700 -fn xft:Monospace:pixelsize=20 -e htop

Those sizes, positions and font choices were refined by trial and error for my particular screen resolution (1400x900 monitor scaled down to 1280x800 resolution).

Just find a good image for the desktop and move and position icons.

Search Google for lcars desktop wallpaper

Bigpup, you made my week!

I've been surfing the LCARSCom.net images all evening and just drooling figuring which one I am going to try first. Definitely the most influential show in my life by a long stretch. Yup, there I said it. I bet aliens watch them (the old tv signals of the trek shows that left Earth decades ago) and think "damn, this species on its blue ord is a massive star-faring race....and they travel faster than light from the stars!!"....haha

I used mtpaint to transform the colours (hue) so that that starship wallpaper looks like its on red-alert.

As I use pcmanfm --desktop for desktop icons (and wallpaper) I added a script to detect whether booted as though a full install ... in which case the normal wallpaper is used, or a frugal install ... in which case the red-alert wallpaper is used i.e. ...

added
<StartupCommand>sleep 6;/home/user/bin/wallpaper-liveboot.sh</StartupCommand>
to .jwmrc where that script runs

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
TST=`cat /proc/cmdline | grep UUID`
if [ -z "$TST" ]
then
  pcmanfm --set-wallpaper=/home/user/Pictures/schematic_1280x800-liveboot.png
else
  pcmanfm --set-wallpaper=/home/user/Pictures/schematic_1280x800.png
fi

For Debian I use pure Debian repositories only, no contrib nor non-free and have a cut-down version installed as though a full install along with live-boot also being installed so a empty /live/filesystem.squashfs (main sfs) can be booted where the full install is the save area (partition based save folder). A frugal type install, but with a empty main.sfs and everything in the "savefolder", which enables sfs's to be loaded and the option to boot without any changes being saved (persistence persistence-read-only kernel boot parameter). I do also have a script similar to save2flash that supports flushing changes to disk if so desired (on demand).

More often I boot as though a full install nowadays, but the frugal choice is handy as you can delete .mozilla and .cache/mozilla folders before starting firefox in a frugal boot ... which starts firefox clean (no bookmarks, addons/extensions ...etc.). Frugal is also handy for trying things out (testbed) where a reboot 'undoes' all of the changes.

It took a few tries of using mtpaint's Effects, Transform Colours, Hue (slider) to get the desired red-alert type colours, but the final result is pleasing.

Normal

Red Alert (frugal ... reminder to manually save if desired)

Note how for some icons I created a transparent icon that I assigned to some desktop icons, to leave just a textual icon that can be positioned on the wallpaper background image to better blend in with the general theme.

No menu button, nor a showdesktop button as right mouse click of the clock brings up the menu and left mouse click activates showdesktop.

Hey, guys,

Have you noticed? rufwoof is all talk and no picture.

He does not know (?) how to upload a screen capture of the beautiful (?)
desktop he's talking about. (Now where is that tongue-in-cheek icon?)

BFN.

The pictures are there (inline thumbnails), just obviously blind to you musher.

Maybe an ad blocker is interfering?

If you really want to put the cherry on the Klingon Racht, then here's the font used in the LCARS display.

If you have conky, you could use this font to really make it blend in with the picture.

I have two USB flash drives, one 16GB flash drive by SanDisk and reports itself as "SanDisk Cruser", and the other one of 4GB but I don't know what company owns the brand, but it says "Birdhouse Skatedrive" on it and it reports itself as "USB DISK 2.0". The SanDisk one has Fatdog64 version 710 installed on it and the Birdhouse drive has tahrpup64 version 6.0.5 installed. Here are screenshots of the systems.

Fatdog64 version 710

tahrpup64 version 6.0.5

They may look very generic, but I don't care much about that. Also, the black creature from the Fatdog64 screenshot is one of those slug creatures from the Slugterra series, more specifically the Flatulorhinkus Megamorph Velocity form, did you even know that TV series existed???

I've got a fully-populated /etc/hosts file plus ghostery running with all
blocks on as an extension in the browser. You're never too careful on-line,
so that set-up stays.

What's an inline thumbnail anyway? Sounds like in-line dancing or an
ingrown nail... Maybe I'm missing a nuance here, English is not my
mother tongue.

Anyway, normally, the urls show in a post, and there are no urls showing,
in blue or in black, in rufwoof's post above.

Please notice that I said "there are no urls showing," and not "I can't see
the URLs", because it's a fact, not a perception.

Thanks Souleau. That font isn't in the in the Debian main repo, so I used http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/swiss-911/ to enter the desired text, set the colour, background and size ... and then dropped the preview into the wallpaper

A screen capture by rufwoof. Wow!
