I've been trying to get a scrot of my gdm3 login screen, I don't think there's a way to do it as I think it's on Wayland. There's a way to force gdm3 to load as X11, but it doesn't seem worth the effort for one scrot. A shame, my login screen is very pretty.

I'll have to settle for my lock screen (login screen has a different wall and it isn't blurred, so... meh on the lock screen. It shows my avatar at least)...

Keep 'em coming, nice scrots everyone, as always!

miracle-wm (Wayland) with waybar and swaybg (and wofi, not shown)...

I'm no expert with tiling WMs, and this is an easy one, but the Wayland thing is really hard. Couldn't get Nautilus to open. Couldn't use gnome-screenshot, I had to install grim. Couldn't get a window to float, but maybe that's because my cursor wasn't over it. I don't have touchpad tapping yet. Unrecognized character in the waybar temp widget. I'm going to leave it as a session for awhile, should be a good exercise in frustration, hence learning.

Nice bike! Let me know if you find a way to scrot the login screen.

@Dobbie03 Please share the birth code from your fetch.

I am using this one,

ls -alct /|tail -1|awk '{print $6, $7, $8}'

But, yours seems more simple, so i'd like to check it.

hhh · 2024-03-18 02:36:48

@El_K, it says in the article it doesn't work on Wayland. No biggie.

I'm having fun with labwc, it's working a lot better than miracle-wm. My touchpad/libinput is working OOTB for one thing...

I'm using this:

So many questions...

How do I start Xwayland?
Why are there no scrots of waybar in a vertical config?
Why can you use %I:%M but not %l:%M for the Waybar clock? (< these notations may look the same on this forum due to the font. One is % letter capital eye and the next is % lowercase ell)
Why can't some GTK apps adopt the defined openbox theme? Why do some GNOME ones (gnome-terminal) do adopt it?
Why do the apps that use the Openbox theme not have a drop shadow? Why is gnome-terminal one of them? Why do the GNOME apps that do adopt the mutter(?) theme (gedit, eog, gnome-system-moniter) have a drop shadow?

Shown: Eye of Gnome has a subtle drop shadow, rounded bottom corners and client side decorations, xfce4-terminal adopts the Openbox theme and has no drop shadow...

Also, it's a different battery icon in waybar with a vertical panel, but I didn't change anything regarding that in the config, AFAIK. Not shown: Nautilus has a light theme, I think it's Adwaita.

Sowm with lemonbar through a conky! Fun little window manager. Doesn't look maintained, but works well enough and easy to build.

hhh · 2024-03-18 05:15:23

^ Pretty scrot, good to see you posting again! I hope your health crisis is settling down.

I was able solve the drop-shadow issue in labwc by adding <decoration>client</decoration> to the <core> section of rc.xml, now all the windows are using mutter windecs and shadows. Source...

Just a minute... openbox themes are for openbox, not for GTK. There are separate GTK themes.

Drop shadow on X is done by a separate compositor like picom, but on Wayland has to be done by the windowmanager/compositor which is one thing.

sleekmason · 2024-03-18 05:24:52

@hhh Better all the time. Slow process. Thanks for saying:) - I've been following your xwayland adventure. Good job getting things to function properly:) I suppose we won't have much choice in a year or three.

RebornOS on my testing laptop. Openbox WM with wallpaper I made on playgroundai. Once I have it completely to my satisfaction, I will be installing it on my main laptop to replace a distro that I wiped from it recently.

Right, I meant the windecs. labwc was using different windecs for different apps until I added the client option in rc.xml, now I don't see any openbox windecs. They all look like mutter now, and every window has a drop shadow (not the root menu or the panel, though). I'll post an issue on malm's libwc git when I'm more familiar with what's going on, it's a serious learning process.

One typo in a config and everything breaks, it's no wonder I like GUI settings managers. GNOME crushes labwc in every way except RAM usage, and it's not enough of a difference to make it worth it. Fun as hell to figure it out, though, assuming I don't tear all my hair out doing it.

Ah, see what you mean now. Hang in there!

Thanks for sharing, It doesn't seem to work for me on openSUSE due to pacman that i changed for zypper but, as a user

sed: can't read /var/log/zypper.log: Permission denied

Anyway, i'm looking on google for any similar code.
