I am a large fan of your wallpaper!

If you’d like I’ll post it here later today when I get on my computer.

I’ve already shown you my EOS desktop, but since I finally booted my secondary machine, you might want to see what’s in it…

I already forgot how much fun Chicago95 was to set up. And the final result is very satisfying.

Still rocking the same setup from Nov -2023. Still running solid!

Couldn’t let the Destop outlook the laptop.

I think you could call ‘divisive’ if you were feeling tactful…

The icon theme remind me of what you could see 20 years ago.

Here you go:

Still around, 2.5 years later, with the “let’s test it for a week in the small partition” distro.
It works, it’s minimal but “bloated” just the right amount for me and with standalone openbox.
I mean OPENBOX.

Well… openbox and polybar (with all the bells and whistles, like polywins etc.)
That’s all.

The same transparent and blurring behavior as with my dark theme.
Classic breeze icons and the breeze color scheme slightly adjusted.

So, this is XFCE with just a teensy little gtk.css file in ~/.congfig/gtk-3.0 to round out the panels.
(…just because I wanted to see if I could make it look “modern”)

[drunkenvicar]

purple heart for the most creative use of their taskbar: the two-inch strips as they should be. Your teensy gtk config looks great, You are making XFCE sexy again.
edit: had to add the word ‘gtk’ for clarity

[sammiev]

Truly top notch!

Trying to live in Void

I took a disc image of my beloved arch installation in case of regrets

Void documentation was very poor so I had to relay a lot on Arch and Gentoo wiki. Installer itself was great and fast as f-word.

For those interested, the vertical panels are 32 pixels wide and this is my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file.

.xfce4-panel {
   border-bottom-left-radius: 16px;
   border-bottom-right-radius: 16px;
   border-top-left-radius: 16px;
   border-top-right-radius: 16px;
}

Thank you - definitely gonna try this kinda look!

[JKMooney]

A couple things I learned along the way…

1. After creating gtk.css, the Whisker menu no longer respects the opacity setting. Correlation only at this time so I don’t really know if that’s the cause.

UPDATE: I’ve now discovered that is NOT the cause, it is related to specific GTK themes and has nothing to do with my gtk.css file.
.
2) xfce-terminal can not only be launched in drop-down mode, but that mode can be configured independently of normal mode.

This one also works for the four corners :

.xfce4-panel#XfcePanelWindow {
  border-radius: 13px;
}

Whenever I come across this thread it gives me pause…

I don’t have any visible wallpaper or standard widgets floating around on my monitor.

With i3, I have a footer (1 ASCII character tall) with some info - importantly the #s of the open windows available (4-5 startups + whatever other apps I’m currently using).

But whatever application is being used then completely covers the “desktop.” So my desktop is fully consumed by whatever I’m working on.

I appreciate the attractive graphic design of many of the images shared here. But when sitting in front of my monitor it’s to use the computer; taking up precious screen space for things that are not essential to the moment seems distracting and counterproductive.

With his in mind, here’s my desktop:

All depends on what I am doing at the time as to whether or not my desktop is visible or not
