Pretty good man, that’s a nice little PekWM setup you’ve made there. If I was to change anything, it would be to match the folder icons with the wallpaper colour, maybe even use the standard GNOME icons. Good work.

This is really nice, like the way it jives … plus your using one of my favorite WM. Have to agree with wooko though, those buttons on the music player should have been changed. Other than that, it’s a solid shot.

I loooove those icons, i was using them for a while on a setup kinda like this. i’ve been meaning to start using pekwm more often/better, as openbox is kinda limiting. props dude

yeah, truth about pekwm. also i still have my edited iris iconset, i made a hacked-together gtk iconset from it that relies on gperfection which has prettier icons, pm if you want the .theme file or somethin

This is gorgeous, the url bar especially. I’ll third the player buttons, but I’m otherwise impressed by this. Love the icons.

i’ll fourth the player buttons, but otherwise a very solid effort. the font looks great, as does the browser.

Absolutely love this. I’m grateful for you introducing those icons here, they’re lovely. I’ll jump on the bandwagon with the player buttons, but overall a really pretty desk. I’ve never seen ArchLinux (bonus points there) look so beautiful.

@izo, I like this icons + I’ve never been a big fan of gnome-default. A matter of taste I guess.

@audacious, I think PekWM deserves more users, but it sure has limitations too.

@all: I agree 100% about the player buttons. Iris icon theme doesn’t contain those buttons so the are from the default/fallback icon theme (gnome?). I even tried to add different from another theme but I didn’t have time enough to figure it out.

Thanks for all your kind words :)

I agree with the playback control comments, but damned if the rest of this doesn’t look fantastic.

A beautiful desktop and I really like your titlebar theme. It’s got that Gaia/Sublevel style that I so miss.

Only thing I would change if this were my setup would be the player controls theme and maybe add an additional font style to the taskbar and Titles (ie AvantGarde). For some reason I like bitmap fonts to be complimented by at least one “Highlight” type font.

The only thing I could change are the media player buttons, otherwise this is something I could actually use personally.

Great job.

All the critiques are taken care of, and you seem to know what they are. If I was back on linux I’d jump on a similar setup for sure.
