Description
This is my first shot with Arch Linux (love it
)!I'm always using Openbox as WM and here I show how it can be configured to act as a pseudo tiling WM (details in the rc.xml file in the screenshot).
-------------------
OS: Arch Linux
WM: Openbox
Wallpaper: pacman -S archlinux-wallpaper
Gtk Theme: Moka [link]
Openbox Theme: Moka [link]
Icons: ALLGREY [link] + Drakfire Evolution (tray icons) [link]
Font: Sans 8
Upper Panel: Conky with my horizontal conkyrc [link]
Lower Panel: Tint2
Running Apps: URxvt, Mousepad, Thunar, Firefox, Xfce Power Manager, Volwheel, Wicd, XCompMgr
-------------------
I hope you like it!

That truly looks awesome! Arch is probably THE best Linux distro. I'm using Ubuntu right now and itching to learn to use Arch. I'm just intimidated and don't really know where to start. Can you tell me what you did to set this all up? How much time did it take you?

Thanks!
Look and feel are more related to Openbox rather than to Arch itself, though: Arch is the way you want it!
