CB Dusk (CBD) software creates an image resembling the post-sunset time, utilizing modern design techniques.
I found that cb dusk worked well out of the box with simpler window managers like fluxbox or afterstep. However, I did encounter some issues with larger desktop environments that tend to overlay the root window. In order to make cbd visible, I had to inhibit this overlay feature.
Specifically, I found that GNOME nautilus drew over the root window, which prevented the cbd image from being displayed. However, I was able to resolve this issue by editing the show_desktop gconf entry.
For those looking to use cb dusk, the software has a few requirements. The gdk compilation can be easily accomplished using the command "$ make," and the software can be installed with "# make install."
In terms of usage, cb dusk offers several options, including the ability to seed the random number generator with the -e command, and to set the number of seconds between updates with the -d command. Additionally, users can choose to run cb dusk quietly with the -q command or increase the verbosity level with -v. Overall, I found cb dusk to be a unique and worthwhile addition to my desktop environment.
