Well, I went to tackle having bitmap glyphs to match lemon whilst having antialiasing elsewhere. Turns out I already had Infinality installed. The only limitation to consistency is that awesome's widgets will only display at 96 dpi despite every possible xorg setting it could pull it from. My monitor is 110x108 dpi, so setting it to 108 is probably optimal. 98-106 is the best looking, however, as it provides adequate space for fullwidth Eastern characters without them always pressing against the line height (as 108+ does). 96 is slightly compact, but some characters end up looking even better than the next dpi step up (luck of the hinting?), so it isn't that bad). It definitely fits in with lemon at 7.
I also modified the naughty notifications a bit... changed the padding to 9 (default 4) and removed the bold in titles. There is a strange bug though that when a line ends in a fullwidth punctuation glyph, the following part will become fullwidth (e.g. 2012 would become 2012) unless it is on a newline. The same will happen in the panel. Such is why I moved everything to separate lines, although I may revert it because, truthfully, I rarely listen to anything ending with fullwidth characters (furthermore fullwidth punctuation).
>>1704641I guess I just assumed you were using awesome. I only have dwm as a backup, I haven't even configured it. It looks great though, I love the vivid colours. I've been wanting to try something mint coloured ever since I set my vim line numbers to bright-green. I am even considering dying my hair mint instead of azure from now on.
>>1704901If you're looking for a great sans-serif font that isn't Helvetica, try Akzidenz-Grotesk, by far my favourite. HaxrCorp and Helvetica are both pretty much perfect in terms of consistency, but Akzidenz-Grotesk is most premium typeface.
