Dark blue, for sure. Nice.

Thanks @Jerry3904. The simple and minimalistic desktop is starting to grow on me.

I forgot to include my root menu which is the tron-blue style (http://tenr.de/styles/?i=1) with the alpha set to 50 to really give it that transparent look against the desktop.

@Freja has submitted a new wallpaper and I love it. (viewtopic.php?p=777144#p777144)

Trying a new layout. Moved my fluxbox toolbar to the right (first time in 20+ years).
Shrank the icon size to 35 so that only the pixmap shows. Added my weather conky.
Style is called tron blue. (http://tenr.de/styles/?i=1) XMMS skin is called Coplandos grey mod.
Image is Mount Whanganui in New Zealand I found on pexels.com.

Here's another nice lightweight fluxbox distro.
This Fluxuan build is based on Devuan-daedalus, the systemd-free twin of Debian-bookworm.
Their latest release installs a solid and extremely snappy base system of ~2gb and around 600 packages, with pcmanfm (file-manager), connman (network-manager) and alsa (sound-server) as well as qutebrowser. All previous xfce apps+dependencies are gone now; Oh, and did I mention 'systemd-free'?



Meanwhile I've updated fluxbox to version 1.3.8, installed tint2 as alternative/non-default toolbar, added various system-tools (like fsearch, pipewire-audio, qdirstat, urxvt terminal), applications like firefox, geany, yad, gimp, audacious, mpv) - and many small tools & scripts. Memory-hungry apps like volumeicon and cmst are disabled at startup, calling these with keybindings when needed. No office-suite installed yet (unsure whether I will do so). As you can see in below screenshot, package count is still well below 1000 pkgs...
Fluxuan also comes with a basic CLI-driven snapshot utility, which creates a perfect clone of my running system, saving all personal configurations and network settings - for immediate reinstall in case of system failure.
Gonna have lots of fun with this tiny distro...

Lighter colors than usual.

Nice change!

No significant changes, except the new wallpaper for summer.

Nice shot, great color and impressive depth of field.
