MX Fluxbox Screenshots

[ceeslans]

Lately I noticed there were some typos/errors in ~/.conky/MX-Cees/datetime-conkyrc. Have meanwhile corrected this (a.o mixing BAT0/BAT1 code).
Have also added a check in the battery code, i.e to exclude a battery monitor showing up on desktop devices.
Additionally added code for a red-color warning when battery power level falls below 20% ( it actually blinks on/off every second).

Below is the updated conky config file
~/.conky/MX-Cees/datetime-conkyrc

Thanks for the update. I'm in the UK ATM but will take care of this when I get back next week.

Played around with neofetch to make an mxfb-comfort version

Alternative mxfb logo

That alternative is gorgeous, and I like the reduced text. How/Where would you see us being able to use it?

[ceeslans]

new tint2 theme and matching fb style; also new *fetch in a borderless roxterminal

[Melber]

@ceeslans
thumbs up, elegant as ever.

[Jerry3904]

Agreed

Wasn't really thinking about how to incorporate anything into mxfb, was just playing around.

Neofetch creates the folder and config file ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf if they don't already exist.
I guess we could put the mxfb config file there so the default version doesn't get created.
The ascii image could also be put there (that's the path I'm currently using anyway).
Text and image colours are governed by the terminal settings as far as I can tell, so not sure how or if we could/should change those without user input.

Here are the files if you want to try it out...
In xfce4-terminal change the text colour to #cacdd0 and the bold turquoise colour (bottom row, 2nd from right) to #0F56D9.

Sometimes plain and simple just works.

Created a vertical black and white gradient with rounded corners for tint2 and a custom neofetch theme.
