Dual Screen Fluxbox.. Black as Oil

By spyro_boy on 23 Jan 2007

Well, here's my dual head setup.

Yes.. I'm using a Commodore Amiga Series monitor for my second monitor which is on the left and I have a black DELL CRT for my right monitor.

On the larger monitor, I have gDesklets with it's launcher desklet. I also have IceWeasel and NCMPC (MPD client) on a shaded transparent aterm with my customized fluxbox theme called OilSlick.

On the second monitor, the smaller one, I have gkrellm and another aterm with the same properties and mplayer with OSD and captions, but no subtitles in that segment.

I forgot to screenshot with my flux menu out, but it's about as transparent as aterm and rounded at it's bottom.

Yes.. borderless windows. Just the way I like it. :-)

Catching up

Wow! I had totally lost the thread??

I'm catching up: Got a 7600GS and a 21" Compaq V1000 CRT which I practically had to "fork-lift" into my room. I also had to saw away some of a shelf on my table to get it to fit! Hoping to get a 24" flatscreen mid-next-year - They've come down to about Â£250 now, perhaps Â£185 by next summer?? Hope so. No dual-mo yet though.

All the best!

Hey spyro!

Could you please tell me what kind of monitors and graphics card you are using? Thanks :-)

two CRTs. 1. ~14"

two CRTs. 1. ~14" Commodore Amiga, 2. some generic DELL 15" monitor.
I was running this on a NVidia 6200LE.

Now, I have a BFG NVidia 7900GS OC. Actually, I have both cards in the workstation at once. I might make one a dedicated video card for something else. Possibly a MythMonitor or something (lol)
