What's your Opera skin?

[chalbersma]

It's called benzo_black_grey.  It's straight from the downloadable skins app under Tools.

I like the rocks and the transparent background to wbar.

Tell us about that torsmo-lookin' thing on your desktop.

Tell us about that torsmo-lookin' thing on your desktop.

torsmo became conky, it's just a newer version http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tce/conky.tcel.info

[Onyarian]

Yes, it's conky extension, configurated with only a few information from CPU and wireless connection.

If you are interested I can put the .conkyrc

[Lee]

Thanks.  I had tried out conky with the default config and never pursued it further.  A little experimentation with a .conkyrc file and it looks much better.

If you would post your .conkyrc file I'd appreciate it.  I'm sure I've just scratched the surface of what can be done with it.

I set up a desktop a few years ago that works fine for me, and it hasn't changed much since...I use the same thing in 3 distros (using Awesome in Pure:Dyne, but it's still not much different).  I took this screenshot 2 years ago, and the only thing that has changed is "log" is now "syslog" and "crap" is now "0".

Here's quick screenshot of the old desktop - conky should be showing various world times (courtesy of citytime by wdef) but for some reason conky thinks citytime is already running when it is not...

tinycore running flwm.dsl (mydsl testing,) imlib.tcel, libstdc++-5.0.7.tcel, xtdesk and wbar. xtdesk (binary) and xtdeskrc (text) copied from dsl 3.3, .lnk files matching wbar config shown in aterm. (important: to make "xterm" work in flwm, sudo su, cp /usr/bin/aterm /usr/bin/xterm or create symlink) cp /home/tc/.desktop /home/tc/.olddesk && echo wm: flwm > /home/tc/.desktop

Here's a screenshot of my latest desktop config.
I did quite a bit to achieve a fully realized theme, you'll find the screencap at http://edbanger.tripod.com/images/tc_scrcap_06-21.png
I worked on editing .conkyrc, .jwmrc-tray, made my own blue jwmTheme, and the tux/tinycore wallpaper in gimp.  The Opera skin is the o-simple theme with a blue color scheme setting.

I'd like to hear what you think, and if you like it the wallpaper is available at http://edbanger.tripod.com/images/tcwall.png
