Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread

i'm debating weather I'll either partition or go full LXDE, I've got no HDD space to waste (about 60 to 80 gigs or space) so I can't just partition willie-nillie

[Katzedecimal]

I have the LXDE installed on my laptop but can't get a screengrab (print-scrn isn't working, for some reason) Got a few issues with it but for a first edition, it is pretty sharp.

I found this post on LXDE org.

ikey,
Maybe its SCR from screen and OT from shot?

[Aging Technogeek]

Or you could opt for the familiar like I did and install Gnomeutils from Synaptic. This way I get the old familiar Gnome screenshooter. It works fine in LXDE.

Screenshots? Just scrot 'em

I just had to If it's over the limits I'll remove it

[Kendall]

Note to self: Put a screenshot app in the stable LXDE release.

I use this keybinding for scrot in my rc.xml

Code: Select all

<keybind key="Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>scrot '%Y-%m-%d--%s_$wx$h_scrot.png' -e 'mv $f ~/Images/Screenshots/ & viewnor~/Images/Screenshots/$f'</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Works like a charm, and uses viewnor to display it after it's done, of course this can be replaced with gpicview or whatever you like.

but it is AWESOME on new fast hardware

hm.. I think the XFCE 4 Screenshot tool has the same look and feel, but oh well it might not be to much of a diffrence (I just think using a XFCE tool might suite better to a Lightweight Desktop like LXDE than using a GNOME one xD)

Good job ikey, actually the panel looks well integrated into the Box Look.
I like it, keep it up

I've decided to move away from the standard openbox style desktop.
No more tint2 . I'm using bmpanel

I, too, have been using Openbox and tint2 ... with no DE.
I really like 'your' bmpanel ... nice configuration and layout.
Did you design the scripts yourself? Cuz, the bmpanels I've seen before didn't look like that.

Great job.

Here is my latest setup on my netbook. I got tired of the netbook launcher so i switched to cairo dock.
