Conky artwork does give Archbang the branded look maybe it should return for future releases

@Mr Green
Agreed and something a little more than CPU and RAM with the keybindings for default
Maybe like this:
Hostname: $alignr${color1}$nodename${color}
Kernel: $alignr${color1}$kernel${color}
RAM ${color3}${alignr}$mem/$memmax${color}
CPU ${color3}${alignc} ${freq}MHz / ${execi 10 sensors | grep 'Core 0' | awk '{print $3}'}${alignr}${cpu cpu0}%${cpubar cpu0 7}${color}
${color4}${cpugraph}${color}
SHORTCUT KEYS ${hr 2}
Super+a$alignr Toggle Maximize
Super+h$alignr Toggle Horizontal
Super+v$alignr Toggle Vertical
Super+c$alignr Move to Center
Super+Arrow$alignr Move
Alt+Super+Arrow$alignr Resize
Super+x$alignr Classic Keybinds

Hi, I would like to thank the ArchBang dev team for this great distro and specially ArchVortex for helping me to configure my Openbox config for the first time.
I installed Archbang on my laptop(actually it's my girlfriend that is using that box most of the time).
As current Gentoo/Funtoo Staffer, I want to learn how things work behind the scene because it's the Gentoo/Funtoo way. So, I started to study Archbang Openbox config and I asked a lot of questions to ArchVortex, because it was the first time that I ever use Openbox.
I learned how to configure tint2, Lxappearance,Obconf,wbar,the rc.xml file,autostart,menu.xml and much much more.
Because of my Archbang experience with Openbox, I switched my Funtoo Current KDE 4.7.2 box to Openbox.... yeah you have read well, I switched from KDE to Openbox ![]()
I was a hardcore KDE user since 2002....
For the record, my girlfriend used to work with Ubuntu 11.04 and now he uses Archbang 11.10 and she really love the speed on my old Thinkpad T60P ![]()
So, here's my config file : http://www.funtoo-quebec.org/index/Conf … g_Openbox/
And here's some screenshots :

http://www.funtoo-quebec.org/index/Conf … shot_2.png
http://www.funtoo-quebec.org/index/Conf … shot_3.png
Feel free to comment my setup and use my config files, that's the main reason why my config files are available over the net ![]()

I never thought a hardcore KDE user would ever like openbox...
Openbox does two things for me: it is sooo fast, if I ever have to use windows 7 or even gnome on the same system I start sighing from impatience.
And then the keyboard control, dmenu (alt +f3) for starting applications, some other keybindings for manipulating windows (and always tsjak, done): http://stillstup.blogspot.com/2010/06/k … ndows.html

I found on my KDE desktop that I use only minimal stuff, basically, I use konsole,chromium and my applications. I never use widgets or other KDE stuff that is part of KDE 4.
I only need 4 things to be happy with Openbox config.
1. A launcher
2. A menu to start my apps
3. A taskbar
4. A terminal to update my box
I don't even need any flashy composite with transparant stuff.
Offline
One day I will manage to get that list down to two, terminal and menu... with the way you can configure Openbox keyboard shortcuts do all my launching.
Less is more...
Offline
Of course, I use keyboard shortcuts ![]()
W+T, W+A,W+D and W+L or W+X are my new friend ![]()
It's so fast to open stuff now.
A lot of my friends said to me that I left the KDE religion but I will come back one day ![]()
I'm not so sure about that, because I don't like much flashy desktop. Even Gnome 3.2 or Ubuntu + Unity is too flashy for me and it's a CPU consomption for nothing.
By the way, on my KDE 4.7.2, after a clean reboot I had almost 600 megs of used RAM and now I have less then 160 megs.
Offline
Nothing fantastic about my plain clean desktop except the idling RAM. This is what amazes people about ArchBang, especially on a beatup 5 year old laptop.

This is my desktop yesterday, and probably for this month :-)
I have a problem with conky: conky doesn't start, when the desktop is load I need to restart conky from the OB menu.
This is my autostart.sh:
(sleep 3 && /usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable) &
tint2 &
(sleep 10 && /home/paolo/.conkyrc -q) &
volumeicon -b &
nitrogen --restore &
#xcompmgr &
#xbacklight -set 100 &
#/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1 &
batti &
#fbxkb &
ibus-daemon
I think I made some sintax error, can someones help me ?
I have look for the solution using google but find only different sintax and nothing work ...

paolo,
Change your conky line to:
conky -q &
or try
sleep 10 && conky -q & (not sure about this?)
GUI's?? We don't need no stinkin' GUI's!!!

Many thanks to you all I can't resolve my problem... I continue googling ![]()
http://conky.pitstop.free.fr/wiki/index … 11_%283%29
I download and modify a little bit my conky from the above link, is called ewloni
Edit: Hello friends ! Good morning ! (now is 07:21 am here
)
I resolve : I simply remove the raid variable lines.
My Aspire 1355 is old and don't have any raid inside ![]()
And I leave in the autostart the originale variable "conky -q &" (without quotes)
And I find the laptop boot fast as usual ![]()
Many thanks for all the answers and to all the team for creating this light and great distro !!!

Theme reminds me of the madbox theme.
There is a new madbox 11.10 in the make; maybe only interesting because of its artwork and selection of applications as it uses ubuntu.

Very impressive work man!, I also took the liberty to visit your website (devianArt). I really liked the turn-out on your "debian-fluxbox mine" desktop. Would you be very kind to guide me onto the right direction on how to make my menu transparent. A previous post in the AB! forums on how to did not worked for me.
Happy Holidays & Cheers

Thanks, for the kind words, guys. I do my best.
As far as, Transparency goes:
Openbox: Menu transparency is possible using either xcompmgr or cairo-compmgr - both are in the default Menu>Settings>Composting with Openbox.
Fluxbox: Menu-Transparency (or desktop wide) is part of the default Fluxbox set-up - just click on Fluxbox/System from the right-click menu and 'enable' pseudo-transparency and the degree of transparency wanted.

Last Screenshot for 2011
A basic #! Crunchbang (original Statler release from 2011.02) still set to Debian 'stable+backports' repros and using Openbox WM, tint2, a simple Conky.
Continuing with the minimal, yet colorful theme throughout. Designed my own Ob-theme.

Nice warm colours, that yellow and orange; only the gradients in the menu header aren't well defined: I see two colours.
@Irca: like especially the one with the autumn leaves, funny how the same theme works different with another wallpaper.
With the night scene the colours blue are getting too cold for my taste.

I've gone more complicated with my weather forecast conky:
http://www.users.on.net/~thehands/windowshot.html
Sorry the website software seems to automatically downsize the images a little too much which makes them blurry (for me anyway).
My renewed interest in conky has certainly made a change to my traditional black OB desktop. ![]()

@ handy, that's a pretty awesome weather conky!! Once I move in the next two months to either Taiwan or South Korea I can add weather to my conky. Indonesian cities don't work so well with weather sites and conky.

Have you tried intellicast.com ?
See if you can get where you live or as close as possible to show up on their site, if it does then you can get a code that will allow you to use the software that I'm using.
I'm in a country town in Oz, & using intellicast gives me a worthwhile weather reading for a town 50 miles away.
