Sorry, this screenshot is not Archbang but it is Openbox.
My latest #!Crunchbang-Statler/Debian-Sid/Openbox desktop ...
Changed the theme, conky and tint2 to reflect a 'dark' mood for Halloween. Found this great 'Tribal Bat' wallpaper on DeviantART.
I'm especially 'proud' of my Word Clock Conky Conky Script can be found here >> http://conky-pitstop.wikidot.com/by-vrkalak
Oh yeah . . . using the Chromium-browser from the Debian Sid repros, for a change of pace.

For the theme I used the AUR package "elegant-gnome", maybe there is more simple way I don't know, i am newbee in Arch
The package contains a lot of icons - which I used in Cairo dock too, nothing additional, I don't even use the OpenGL dock
Conky setup is 2 scripts, i took it from some forum too :) and modified the internal script
main script:
#Modified from: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/556/#p556

The conkyrc is messy and may need modifying since it's my first one. lol
conkyRhythmbox & conkyForecast scripts are required to get those working.
I'm trying to figure out how to use ${scroll text} for the rhythmbox output, but haven't gotten yet. x_X

Nice picture of your daughter.
And you with your daughter on your website.
I started computing for my quadriphlegic daughter to get her adapted software for her cvi, a sort of visual disability and was able to home school her. I never gave up on her. With great results.
Here in Holland they are also have started to stimulate children with Down much more intensive in their cognitive development and getting amazing results. The key is to get a positive learning experience to not over- but certainly not underasking a child. Learning games are one of the ways to make learning fun.

Thank you for you thoughtful response pablokal, and for sharing your experience with your daughter. It is my own experience that my daughter's interaction with others brings out their best side and they always feel better having met her. I think you must know what I mean. It is not out of pity, but out of admiration, that people show their kindness to our children.

well, I installed transset-df and then run it either in the run command or the terminal. such as "transset-df .065" or what ever level of transparency you want then you will get a crosshair and click on whatever window you want to change. It will only stay that way till you close the window. there has to be a better way but I am new to openbox.
