    That would be my favorite font, Creme SSi. The only issue I have with it is that it tends to be a little smaller than most other fonts. So where I can read stuff like Times New Roman at 10pt just fine, I have to bump Creme SSi up to 12pt.

    Honestly speaking, I thought you would notice something else instead. :-P

      I think I see the problem. Conky is looking for an image file name. On my sidux KDE 4 desktop, the line in ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc that begins with "wallpaper=" does not point to a file, it points to a folder (wallpaper=/usr/share/wallpapers/sidux-momos). Moreover, with KDE 4, I see in the plasma-desktop-appletsrc file that a user-selected image that is off in some other directory (i.e. the partition where I keep my images) is a line above the "wallpapers=" line (userswallpapers=/home/dibl/IMAGES/Wallpapers/eastfrom3churches_1600x1200.png). So that grep/sed expression is not going to work as-is. But it's a good idea -- if I were more of a programmer I could probably patch it up to where it would work.
      Given your situation as outlined above, try this configuration:
      ${texeci 1000 feh --bg-scale "`grep 'userswallpapers=' ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc | head --lines=1 | sed 's/userswallpapers=//'`"}
      The change is using head instead of tail

        I was going to say the same thing. Interesting colors as well. Very nice!

          I'm pretty default. I made a few changes.

                I found the wallpaper on deviant art under customization/wallpaper/linux.

                The style is a new theme from kdelook.org called dark air but some of it's settings are not very good so I used desktop settings to modify it. The things that I changed are; color I used glassified, tasks I used proffesional, analog clock is used glassified, dialog I used glassified, tooltips I used glassified. Don't change the logout because there is a bug and plasma will crash. The panel is really cool though.

                I'm using compiz as my default window manager and I use emerald for the window decorations but I'm not at home right now. When I get back I will tell you what they are.

                The colors are just colors I selected. I'm using them with qtcurve using the dark pearl theme from KDElook.org

                    No problem, The window frames are Xairon-Compiz black+dark from compiz-themes. I modified the colors a little in the edit themes section in emerald.

                    The colors I used all around are #090C10. I think it gives the black a blue tint.

                    This may give you a better look at what I mean about the colors.

                      Bespin Style - In Action:



                      Showing off the Alpha:



                      Clock is BeClock, Kwin effect - Not a plasmoid. Conky makes another appearance and the block at the bottom right is Smooth Tasks and the Quicklaunch Widget contained in a tall, short panel.

                      There is also a hidden panel at the bottom containing YAWP, Kickoff (only for D&D purposes), Toggle-Panel (experimental widget to hide the block if necessary), Conky on-off switch (homemade script), Toggle compositing plasmoid, Translator plasmoid, Device Manager/System tray, 4 screen pager and a traditional application launcher (for practical use if there's no quicklaunch).

                      Edit: I forgot to say there's an XBar widget on a 1/2 screen panel at the top left to show the menu stuff if needed.

                      That's it

                        Whooooo, apart from the obvious showing off (shame upon you!) bloody nice You must have a decent GPU to get the folding of the window done so smoothly - which one if I may ask?

                        Am also impressed by conky doing the different wallpapers. What is it with me? I tried dibl's solution but it renders _only_ the default wallpaper in conky and it looks ****e on my other activities...

                        Oh, and show us the hidden panel, will you?

                              Out of interest, how do you switch between desktops, CTRL + Fx?

                                Hey thanks toad! (of toad hall fame?)

                                Actually my GPU is quite old now, but it was fairly powerful in it's day - Nvidia 6800 GS using Nvidia driver. It seems to get along very nicely with kwin, compiz works well in a LXDE setting and the E17 ecomorph compiz-style also works well.

                                Like you, I realised that conky looks pants when trying to do the feh workaround with different wallpapers on different desktops, so I opted to use translucency instead, with a background to match the plasma theme. For kwin you can now set that in window behaviour > window specific and there are similar options for compiz users.

                                Hidden panel is just a panel - nothing special

                                Hey BigCityCat - If you're anything like me, even when you get something you're pleased with, there's always something else that can be tweaked a little

                                Cheers,

                                Steve
