Depswa. Saw these guys this past weekend and they rocked my face off. Great stuff. Made this wallpaper earlier this week (there's not much artwork out yet, so I had trouble find images to use for this wallpaper. Simple, but I like it).

allmusic.com lists them as rock. So do I. I wouldn't go so far as to say the're nu-metal or anything like that.

If you were running fluxbox, you could run gkrellm in the slit and it won't sit on your menu

Your desktop is pretty sweet. Can you actually play CS from RH8? If so, rock!

BLASPHEMY!

The flux is great. Why you no like the flux? The flux like you.

Your WM is pretty nice too. I like minimalistic. It starts with a 'w' right? I can never remember it.

Waimea! It's the true nerd's window manager, and it even has tabs (sort of) now for all of you fluxbox peeps who freak out without tabs.

ok seeing as my thread go killed cause thsi one was up

heres my desktop

BIG. dual 19in CRTs @ 1600x1200

 

[agnitrate]

It would take me a lot to move away from my beloved flux.

Unless it has a slit/dock where I can run my bbpager, I don't know what I would do! I actually don't use tabs much but they do get useful on certain occasions. I like the multiple styles it provides that doesn't fill up my memory and it doesn't get in my way when I'm trying to do things.

What's waimea have? Aside from raw nerd appeal as you so aptly put it

-silver

 

[Nighthawk69]

I used to run Fluxbox, but wanted a change and I'm loving Gnome 2

Yes, CS works using WineX

 

[Electrode]

As far as window managers are concerned, I use Fluxbox for the same reason I use Linux: It's what I tried first, and it works for me, so I'm sticking with it.

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

It has a dock (multiple ones infact, totally configurable, unlike in *box)

I actually don't use tabs much but they do get useful on certain occasions.

I don't really like tabs at all, I like to have things laid out, not stacked on top of each other.

I like the multiple styles it provides

Waimea can use *box styles, and there are lots of good ones at waimea.org (I have a few I've made actually, but haven't packaged them up at all)

doesn't fill up my memory

Sawfish, openbox, fluxbox, blackbox, icewm, metacity, fvwm, twm, hm, too many to think of. The only memory hog wm I can really think of is E.

and it doesn't get in my way when I'm trying to do things.

Yeah, exactly. The whole idea is it gets out of your way and lets you interface as directly with your computer as possible, and considering mouse/keyboard input with waimea is almost completely customizeable, it does as close to perfect of a job as possible, IMO. Last I checked, fluxbox doesn't have 2d workspaces, that's a major interface feature, it also doesn't let you drag windows around different desktops, or let you raise/lower windows via mouse wheel , or any other possible input configuration you can think of.

Aside from raw nerd appeal as you so aptly put it

I called it a nerd's wm because basically you get to program it to do what you want, instead of just letting the developers make those choices for you and having no control over it - however, as always, the more control you have over something, the easier it is to mess things up, so you really need to understand the syntax and semantics of the action file.

Bah, that's such a boring way to go about things

 

[silverpig]

Here's a shot of my old linux box with the memory glutton known as E. Sure looks purdy though...

Damn! Do you want me to have to try another WM?!

I'll have to check waimea out. I meant memory intensive like KDE intensive (what I use for mail/news) so *box is definiitely much better in those respects. If waimea supports dragging across desktops by default (what I use bbpager for) then I'll DEFINITELY have to check it out. That's the reason I love the slit. It sits on top and I can drag my windows wherever.

Thanks for giving me more ideas

Well you said window manager, I wasn't including KDE or Gnome since they aren't window managers

Yep, it sure does, one word of warning though - wampager sucks alot, so if you like to use a pager for alot of things, you are kinda out of luck. I think Gnome2's pager might work though, but that might require the gnome dock. I don't really know, pagers are whack

 

[silverpig]

I had problems with gnome2's pager (but I tried it right after gnome2 came out... it may be fixed now), but gnome1's pager rocked my world pretty good.
