Show off your TCB desktop!

[Rich]

I can see Lees screenshots now too, but 15 minutes ago when I checked they didn't show up. Maybe my browsers
cache got in the way.

Oops!

What I really wanted to see is .jwmrc and not .jwmrc-tray, in particular the part which refers to virtual desktops and the pager - to see how to get 2 rows in the pager

Here's the  pertinent part.  Some of the comments are mine and some came with the default file.

Code: [Select]

   <!-- Virtual Desktops -->
   <!-- Desktop tags can be contained within Desktops for desktop names. -->
   <!-- prior to jwm.tcz update of 2011-09-29, used:  <Desktops count="8"> -->
   <Desktops width="4" height="2">

      <!-- Default background. Note that a Background tag can be
           contained within a Desktop tag to give a specific background
           for that desktop.
           
           Valid types: solid gradient image tile command
           <Background type="solid">#4f5f82</Background>
           Note: Tiny Core uses a generic setbackground program
       -->

   </Desktops>
If your mouse is at all sloppy - moves a little when you click - the double row pager is a pain (at least if you keep the tray fairly narrow, as I do)

Well, I continue to upload screenshots even three today which include the word shot in their name, but so far no luck.   Selected the refresh link, cleaned my browser cache etc etc   but still no joy



anyhow, how do we delete the shots that do not have " shot " in their name please ??  since they are just duplicates

[tinypoodle]

Thank you very much, Lee

Ok I give up..!   

I've uploaded screenshots with changed names, refreshed, rebooted, hit the refresh link 50 times if not more, yet the wiki still refuses to participate..

[Lee]

The problem with wiki screenshots is that you can't really share any information about your setup or ask someone else questions about theirs? (what window manager, theme, etc, how'd you get the funky meters in your conky, blah blah).... And on that topic, I'd be really interested in seeing your conky config, Lee!

Rather than post it here on the forum, how about if I paste it on my "My Talk" page on the wiki?  I'll have to figure out how to attach files to the wiki but it shouldn't be too hard - looks like there's a button for that.

Just click on my web url below my avatar (at left) - its pointed to my "My Talk" wiki page.  (but wait until this evening).

That .conkyrc file is posted - its an external link http://lmuller.net/.conkyrc_.txt.  I added <pre> ... </pre> tags to it to make it display right in my browser - let me know if it doesn't in yours.

The screen shot and link are posted together (as external links) on the  wiki at http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/talk:wiki:user:lee

Actually, I wget'ed the file, and it didn't have any pre tags. But surely most browsers would pick up on it being a .txt file and display accordingly?

The bits I was primarily interested in were how you got TC specific things in there (backup size, tce dir, etc) but I guess those are just envvars set by a separate script.

Ok so much for giving up !!

{{gallery>wiki:?*shot*&120x120&crop&lightbox}}

This code I assume makes 120x120 thumbnails of any file with shot in it's name (per *shot*).  Ok got it,  only I have two (actually more) jpg files with the screenshot in the name yet the gallery module is blind to these screenshots. 

if I edit the wiki and place this code
{{:wiki:coreplayer2_fav1_screenshot.jpg}} and
{{:wiki:coreplayer2_fav2_screenshot.jpg}}
in the page, the screenshots show up immediately, unfortunately doing so messes up the gallery so I didn't leave it that way.

This is driving me nuts.. :|   it can't be that hard ?

Can I, or can you, delete the .png version of the file - its identical except for the file format and its much bigger than the .jpg.  I didn't see an obvious way to delete a file.

Deleted. But I think you should be able too, there's a trash can icon next to the file name in the "upload files" page for me.

I'm not that familiar with this wiki though.

Thanks.

There's a little magnifying glass icon to view the file, and a pencil icon to edit the metadata (for jpg files but not png), but no trashcan for me.

[coreplayer2]

YAY  what happened??  more then four days I've been trying to post a screenshot in the gallery without success, then this morning every image shows up,  go figure...!!

No trashcan either, I think that is only available for admins.  Also curaga if you could delete my older experimental screen shots would be appreciated.     hang on I'll get a list for you

please delete these images

My problem with these screensoths is lack of information, e.g. kind of desktop, window manager. For me it is nearly useless except visual joy.

@gutmensch

I couldn't find if dokuwiki allows users to delete their own uploads, or for the gallery plugin to auto-refresh after new uploads.

I think we agree these shouldn't be manual actions.

@coreplayer2

Deleted.

I agree.  There are some nice looking desktops in the gallery w/o much evidence of how they were achieved.

Perhaps users posting screen shots could be encouraged to post a wiki article describing the pictured desktop.  Maybe even make the screen shot a link to said article.  I'm not so sure the article should be required for posting a screenshot, but it seems likely that those posting the pic would be willing or even eager to post the description as well.

Also, in posting any kind of code or configs to the wiki, it would be nice to have a scrolling code box similar to what we have in the forum.  I posted my .conkyrc on the wiki but decided to post it as an external link instead of just pasting it into the wiki page - its so big it just looked terrible when pasted in.

That reminds me - I tried to upload the .conkyrc file to the wiki but got an error message indicating the filename extension wasn't allowed.  I tried naming it with and without the leading dot and with and without a trailing .txt.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
