MX Fluxbox Screenshots

FIne. That 3 mx-greycubes wallpaper continues to be one of my favorites so I am interested in how you are changing it here. (Haven't actually seen it yet b/c imgur keeps crashing on me right now, probably b/c my wife is video chatting with a friend.)

"Flne" --> First Language Not English ... ??

I'm using transparent logo images, with much reduced contrast to enhance the glassy effect. Then using the resize- / scaling- / perspective tools to fit them on the cubes.

Attached are the new versions of mxfb-greycubes, both in jpg format. They will convert to png format nicely (if so preferred) with filesize still under 500kb each

Thanks, will enjoy looking.

I have no idea what you are asking here, sorry:

When N_Log is your skin (XMMS2) and theme (GKrellM) of choice you just have to have a matching Fluxbox style to go with them.

@siamhie : matching beautifully! And that also applies to fluxbox' traditional toolbar. Great job

Thanks @ceeslans. I edited my Oreo style I created 2 weeks ago (for those B&W background images) and just tackled the menu section first. Next will be the window and toolbar section....and here I thought creating conky's was addicting.

Added a custom weather conky to the desktop after playing around with the command line options for wttr.in

(Turned transparency off, changed the default text color to match the creme color and added to the config section
of the conky, the 'own_window_colour' variable to change the default black color conky typically displays)

Good job, looks great!

Good job, looks great!

Thanks @Jerry3904. I was going to go the openweathermap route and even had created an account to get the personal api key
to setup my weather conky until I came across a post on Reddit. Fiddled around in terminal until i got the formatting just right,
then plugged that information into a conky template I use.

This is the conky. (feel free to use, just change my location in the "conky.text" section to your location)

conky.config section (for transparency, edit these two lines: remove own_window_colour & set own_window_transparent to true)

Code: Select all

conky.config = {
    alignment = 'top_left',
    background = false,
    border_width = 1,
    cpu_avg_samples = 2,

    draw_outline = false,
    draw_shades = false,
    extra_newline = false,
    font = 'DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12',
    gap_x = 7,
    gap_y = 7,
    minimum_width = 0, maximum_height = 200,
    net_avg_samples = 2,
    no_buffers = true,
    out_to_console = false,
    out_to_ncurses = false,
    out_to_stderr = false,
    out_to_x = true,
    own_window = true,
    own_window_class = 'Conky',
    own_window_transparent = false,
    own_window_colour = '6B6966',
    own_window_type = 'desktop',
    show_graph_range = false,
    show_graph_scale = false,
    stippled_borders = 0,
    update_interval = 1.0,
    uppercase = false,
    use_spacer = 'none',
    use_xft = true,
}



conky.text = [[
${execpi 600 curl wttr.in/Forest_Grove?format="Weather:+%C\nTemperature:+%t\nRealFeel:+%f\nHumidity:+%h\nWind:+%w\nPrecipitation:+%p\nSunrise:+%S\nSunset:+%s\n"}

My approach to MXFB screens is to let the image take the primary role with the aesthetics. Here is a new one using a gorgeous shot of the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope:




Style is unmodified "LemonSpace" and I'm using the included graytop-tint2rc for the panel.
