SLiM theme Burning-Arch

Hi,
I've made a slim theme.
If you'd like to use it, it's in AUR.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18455

you're right
no-problem, I can share it via dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7gojpmdkmyg2 … 080.tar.gz
PS: use this link only if original link doesn't work

Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

EDIT;
I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
After writing:
#!/usr/bin
echo "Hello World!"
I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox. (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds). By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing. But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
(this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
#!/bin/bash
#this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
#to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
#it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
#freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
#using it at your own risk.
#Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
#themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
#is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
#other things you need to set up:
#1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
#2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
#you current wallpaper to that filename
#3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
#using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
#manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
#4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
#your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
#from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
#5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
#script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
#by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
# that is:
#theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
#If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
#must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
#6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
#use the theme "current"
#7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
#to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
#"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
#restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
#script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.
#Fred Drueck 2008

oh i forgot to mention... its rotating while moving. i.e. is doesn't have to stop rotate and then continue back to origin.

SLiM themes

i made up a few slim themes here if anyone else wants to try them out. i was going to submit them to the slim developers, but i didn't see any email address on their site. so i guess it's an "arch only" special.

phrakture wrote:
Wow, those are awesome - perhaps submit there here: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=2663
Or possibly file a bug that there's no way to contact them?
Aaron, can you please include them in slim-themes package meanwhile?

Slim Theme Darch

I created a new Slim theme for ArchLinux using the new logo and uploaded it to AUR with the name slim-theme-darch. I hope you like.

[solved] Slim themes conflict with e2fsprogs

I tried installing a couple of slim themes, and got a message saying...
util-Linux-ng conflicts with e2fsprogs. Remove e2fsprogs?
I am currently on my desktop trying to install arch on a old laptop.
Last edited by Jboxer (2010-02-08 01:24:46)

I have discovered e2fsprogs has to deal with Ext2 Filesystem Utilities, i have installed Ext4, therefore I might try to remove the programs that are dependent of e2fsprogs. I would like to receive some more suggestions before I do anything.
Edit: It also is used for Ext4, so scratch that idea.

Complete theme for Arch Linux

Hi guys. In celebration of Arch's new design, I finally decided to learn more about making wallpapers and GTK+ themes. Unfortunately, I had to basically hack an existing GTK+ theme (Smooth-Line), but it still looks good and matches the overall feel of Arch Linux, in my opinion.
I've created a collection of files that themes the following things:
GTK widgets
Fluxbox
desktop background
urxvt
The goal was to integrate seamlessly with the website's look and feel. I think I've succeeded:
Unfortunately, I don't have an xcf of the background, so I doubt it can be scaled easily. I guess it's one of those things you don't think about when a project starts out being 'just for me'.
I've uploaded a g-zipped tarball of the files you'll need to use the theme.
http://sporkbox.us/linux/arch-theme.tar.gz
* The sample .Xdefaults file allows you to change the colors for urxvt. Feel free to delete all the stuff before the "color#" lines.
* gtkrc goes wherever you want it, but should be put in /usr/share/themes/Smooth-Arch/gtk-2.0/ if you want theme switching apps to recognize it.
* The background can be put anywhere.
* Arch-Linux goes in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles or ~/.fluxbox/styles.
I hope you guys like it.
EDIT: Updated the screenshot and fixed the link to the archive.

Beat me to it.
I've got loads of half-finished themes here (or did have; they might have gone when I switched to Arch) - once I found QtCurve, it just seemed too much hassle. It's not totally configurable from the GUI, but it certainly beats poring over gtkrcs until your eyes hurt.
Edit: I meant to add that the wallpaper works quite well cropped to 5:4 if you take the right end. The big Arch logo loses its bottom left point, but it's not too bad.

# Otherwise you will end up with multiple dbus sessions.
source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus
# Start GNOME Keyring
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
# You probably need to do this too:
export GPG_AGENT_INFO SSH_AUTH_SOCK
I don't know whats missing I did everything the wiki told me still Slim only showing default theme. Please help. Thanks.

I could be wrong but you seem to be confusing themes specific to slim with themes for gtk. The themes available for slim are in /usr/share/slim/themes.

Pinux mouse icon theme for Arch

cd cursors
install -Dm644 * $startdir/pkg/usr/share/icons/pArch/cursors
Get the file from here
Put both files in the same directory, and run makepkg and install with pacman -A
Well, that's it, if someone wants to make a package of it, or upload the archive on some decent space, you're free to do so 8)
And of course a screenshot

Thank you!
P.S.: I've already uploaded updated xcursor-pinux to AUR.
I created a new archive, which holds both 24x24 and 32x32 versions. Also I noticed that the old 24x24 version had wrong sized cursors in it, which is now corrected. I guess everything should be okay now.
The new archive can be found here
About the ubuntu theme, I have no idea. If some of their cursors are better, we should replace some in the arch theme as well

Arch-tetra SLiM theme

AUR
Github
Inspiration from here.
Looks like Rydgel never shared his theme, so I made something similar.
The original probably uses a non-free font called 'Ginza Medium' which I don't have acces to, so I used 'Tetra ITC Std Light' for the logo which is pretty close to the original.
Requires the 'artwiz-fonts' package for the 'edges' font.
EDIT: Rydgel did relese his theme here

I just released 1.1 which should be more antialiased. As for high-res version, I'm not entirely sure what you need, the background already is just an 200x200 square which tiles so any resolution should be fine. You can also find the .xcf for the logo here

Ubuntu look-alike gnome theme for arch linux

Is there any theme/gnome package(s) for arch linux that will give me gnome that looks kind of like the gnome package for ubuntu? I'm moving over from ubuntu to arch, and I'm hoping to ease the transition at first while I get used to the rest of the system. Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, how configurable is xfce? I've used gnome and kde for arch a bit, but they're just so vanilla, and I'm still looking for a relatively nice graphical interface on top of cli. Thanks!

xfce4 is just about as configurable as GNOME at the level of gconf/ xfconf and way more configurable via the settings GUI.

Dwm slim themes (8-pack)

In keeping with my dwm wallpaper thread, I've released an 8-pack of SLIM login themes for dwm fans:
EDIT: The files can now be found here: http://cinderwick.ca/projects/dwm-artwork-themes/
Four styles are included, each with a light and dark scheme. In addition to SLIM, you'll need the 'artwiz-fonts' package (available from the repositories) for proper viewing. A couple of previews are below:
Cheers

[SLiM] Theme Configuration

My current theme (custom built): http://i.imgur.com/o5cAt0E.png
My questions are:
1. How can I use "Gohufont" instead of "Verdana", I tried to add "input_font Gohufont:size=12" but didn't work.
2. Is there a way to hide the cursor ( | ) and only see the characters.

Hm, wrong font name maybe? Does your slim log complain about it somehow?
2. Is there a way to hide the cursor ( | ) and only see the characters.
You should be able to do that via your slim.conf.
1. No, slim.log only says:
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
The font is installed at "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
gohufont-11.pcf.gz
gohufont-14.pcf.gz
gohufont-uni-11.pcf.gz
gohufont-uni-14.pcf.gz
2. There's only an option to hide the mouse cursor, not the " | " that appears when typing something...

Getting the Xubuntu XFCE theme on Arch Linux?

I used Xubuntu on my netbook (mainly for convenience and I love the theme that comes with Xubuntu 13.04. Does anyone know if you can download it anywhere for XFCE running on Arch? Thanks.

It's just Greybird (gtk2/3 +xfwm theme) with the elementary-xfce icon theme IIRC. Search for them on the AUR.

Any Experience with LaCie Slim DVD burner?

Hi~
i'd like to buy this external Slim LaCie's dvd burner...
but while reading the techSpec lines, i realized that , apparently, it does not require an extra power source, though it is via FireWire...
so i'd like to know how it works on PowerBooks or any other older Macs...
thanks for ur comments...

Whilst I do not have direct experience of the DVD burner you have mentioned, I use both external desktop and portable burners.
The portable variety, like the LaCie, can be host-powered when connecting via FireWire though the drive may also come with a power adapter. Usually they include a copy Roxio Toast to do the burning. Whilst portable burners are not going to be as quick as desktop models, it should still be reasonably quick.
If you want ultimatee speed at the lowest price then a desktop model is better - you can probably buy several desktop burners for the price of one portable equivalent.
