Reposted from the Arch Linux forums, my March 2011 screenshot set:

Clean:

Busy:

FVWM Config
Conky Config
.Xdefaults
.bashrc

FVWM with xcompmgr; background from NASA. Conky, rxvt-unicode, and the usual*.

*It’s a new usual. Yes, I’ve run Fedora for the last eight or so years, but I’ve just switched to Arch Linux in the last month or so and I love every minute of it.

Here are a couple of screenshots from my home computer; they show my personal desktop configuration. I don’t run a desktop environment, since I don’t need most of the things they provide. My window manager is FVWM2, which is very lightweight, standards compliant, and extremely configurable. FVWM configuration is not for the faint of heart, since it requires creating and editing a text file, but that same early learning curve also makes the infinite personalization possible.

I love this stuff. The background is from Stratification, edited to reflect that this is no ordinary Mac. Yes, I blurred out the names… but that’s the only editing done on this screenshot. Enjoy. I’ll post an explanation of my desktop software sometime in the future.
