 |
|
Hello folks!
I'd like to share with you this LiveCD I've been developing. Its quite lightweight, using the Fluxbox WM and the ISO is just over 300mb now.
A few features some of you guys may find interesting are how Conky was implemented, a friend of mine and I worked on a script to modify Conky based on what hardware is running. Still work in progress.
Likewise, I've designed an installer of sorts to install FLY to a hard drive. Its far from perfect, but it works!
Finally, a member drew up an idea to expand on the styles from Fluxbox, and out came StyleSwitcher. Its just a script, it'll change background artwork, Conky colours, and the Fluxbox style. Its a neat idea.
Anyways, as you can probably tell, I fail massively at upselling heh,
Take a look here http://www.linuxfly.net I hope you enjoy it 
Cheers and thanks! |

The blue theme's conky is kinda hard to see due to its color, which is too dark. I suggest using lighter color in order to improve the visibility. On the other hand, the earth theme is pretty nice. Good job.

Thanks. You have some interesting ideas in your project.
Screenshots: I like the colour scheme and wallpaper of the 'earth' theme. I agree with the comments above about the colour of the conky output in the 'blue' theme. Oh, and a nicer terminal font would be good. terminus, for example. |

Personally I find the blue theme is easy to view, as I tend to prefer dark coloured themes. Bright screens tend to burn my retina  |
