pebbles

Hi there,

This is just a style I'm using since about a year so I thought maybe someone else might like it. I call it "pebbles and gems" (because a few tools are included which I find very useful to "polish" the buttons), but you decide about the second part...

On the screenshots you can see the Fluxbox toolbar (gnubiff in the system tray), the menu with today's date in the title, urxvt, ipager, xfontsel, xboard (you certainly never saw it looking like this. Mate in 2 moves), Thunar and Mousepad "grouped" together with tabs in the titlebar, RoxTerm (not that I use true transparency often it looks to me like an alphabet soup). The wallpapers are from http://7te.org (a different one on every workspace with fluxter in the background).

This style is using artwiz fonts (still no better ones IMHO), and the archive contains the scripts I used to generate the pixmaps (with ImageMagick) so it's rather easy to make small modifications like changing the colours (all the buttons are gradients).

Enjoy your fast desktop and take care.

Update 21.02: new fonts (included for more convenience. They're free for personal use). Included all the icons used in my menu, and some of my config files (mainly .Xresources and a few scripts to change your terminal colour scheme directly from the Fluxbox menu).

Note 25.02: if you prefer the simple line on the bottom of the xboard interface (compared to xfontsel) just change the following in the theme.cfg (minus one instead of 4): window.handleWidth: -1 (in Fluxbox 1.3)
