Desktop Thread v2

like the last thread, what's your desktop look like? unfinished rice but i like where it's goin, wallpaper was altered a bit because the original image wasn't looping properly, and then it was just too dark and saturated still trying to learn how to use PuTTY and edit weechat

>>12765

Can you post that wallpaper OP?

>>12767 hells yeah! it comes from Fantasista Utamaro's textile design post, it just wasn't properly tiling correctly so I just made three myself, I might do the others in the post too

>>12765 very nice what you managed to do with Windows.

idk if webms + sound work here but heres my windows box running blackbox

Finished copying over my config to my new T60, works like a charm, 2nd pic is wallpaper if anyone wants it.

The wallpaper is a modified version of something I found in the last desktop thread, changed for darker colours and removed the text. I intend to replace the text at some point, but I can't decide what font to use. Also, why v2? Did we hit the image limit?

>>12774 lol

>>12771 Thanks

Hoe to make xfce look better?

>>12777 how *fix

>>12777 You can get compiz+emerald unless you're going lightweight.

>>12765 thanks to you I have updated to i3. thx bro

>>12780 update

Too plain, but why not?

Just another day on the job.

>>12784 are you enjoying win10?

>>12785 Yeah it is pretty good, mainly use it cause it just works though.

>>12787 This is a 'no bully' zone

>>12788 Dude... I really don't understand the people like you which have an entire pink desktop... Are you a fuarrrking glitterboy? Moreover still being on Windows after all the Snowden revelation and all the proof that Windows is spying on you...

>>12790 Not the glitterboy, I do have to agree with you though. I would really like to understand why >>12784 & >>12782 are using botnet10. It might be because Linux doesn't sit well with them; but again they're on Lainchan using win10. That's like living in China and being a capitalist/imperialist.

>>12791 not everyone is on your level. don't be a dick.

>>12791 Win10 is just worste. But all windows are spying on the user. It's just not clearly apparent like on Win10. Even Win95 have the so called "universal" back door which allow Microsoft to induce an update on your computer that download all the tracking software. You are an open Window for Microsoft. They can throw on you every they want, see all what they want, and if they want, can just cross it. That a joke (sorry).

>>12790 i talked to snowden at a cafe in moscow last weekend. he said it was OK to use windows and also okay for white people to say the n word ironically

>>12789 >neurosuggesting the most implicit implications are being implied muh kurdistan

>>12790 agree that windows isn't secure but do you really have to be critical of their aesthetic choices? And it's not like you know what their threat model is anyway

>>12795 idk what ur talking about nerd

>>12003 To be simple, you are like a bitch, and Microsoft is your master. He can fuarrrk you in every hole whenever he wants to.

>>12792 I guess "Being a Dick" is equal stating the obvious in this day and age.

>>12799 telling people they don't deserve to be on lainchan...

>>12800 Again you're putting words in my mouth. You're free to do whatever you please Lainion. It's just weird to see a Windows machine (especially 10) on a forum that's dedicated to privacy and software freedom.

>>12800 You don't deserve respect. You win the respect. Until then, you deserve nothing.

>>12788 Fuck you You use the soykaffiest OS and you put so much work into a rice that doesn't even look good. Not to mention that your CPU and GPU are outdated and bottleneck the unnecessary and unusual 12GB of ram. Also your taste in grills is soykaf. And due to your plead to not bully, I'm going to bully everyone else who posted in this thread. >>12765 >chrome >default colors on weechat >>12766 >soykaf taste >no screenfetch or anything It's almost like you don't want to participate >>12769 >white background on file manager while everything is grey/black >>12770 >actually looks good despite windows >window opens up >shitty win95 style Fuck off >>12771 >"music" workspace >plays music on home anyways >using the worst lainchan theme >>12772 >used up space on that firefox >cartoony icons on file manager don't match anything >boasting wallpaper while you can't even see it >>12773 >stupid "glass" status bar >using the worst window size for irc >putting your name on your wallpaper Do you need to know that you are you when you use it? >>12774 >needing something to tell you twice what song's playing >"your fortune" >asian grills everywhere >>12777 >using xfce in the first place >default lainchan theme >keeping things on desktop >>12780 >transparent mpv (or whatever you're using) >once again, no screenfetch >>12781 >default lainchan theme >still transparent mpv >>12782 >completely unriced windows 10 >windows 10 >>12783 >memes >emotes in your i3status >more memes >leaving your ip up there Okay anthony >>12784 >unriced w10 >w10 >>12785 >chromium >gui music player >worst irc client >all these people arguing on this thread

>>12801 mfw

>>12807 tfw i'm probably 6 of these.

>>12807 >he doesn't use Linux on a live usb on his work laptop

>>12804 How i can customize my linux? I am newbie.

>>12808 Lel, and then there's that one non-ironic kid that uses it. >>12810 Don't people come up to you in bewilderment? Saying "Oooh he's a haxor" when you're just updating your packages. That soykaf got annoying at my work.

>>12811 http://dotshare.it/

>>12806 >mfw It's already too late.

>>12813 Thanks anon.

>>12806 >neurosuggesting people use their real useragent

>>12806 I spoof my soykaf if that makes taylor happier

>>12804 >he fell for the joke screenfetch

>>12804 This isn't /g/ buddy.

Wow this thread escalated something fierce. Here's a screenshot of my work laptop now you can all hate me and calm down afterwards. >>12805 >lmao that isn't windows Discordian detected! >>11994 amuses me greatly >>12812 >Don't people come up to you in bewilderment?

>>12820 >11994 amuses me greatly :3

I guess I'll dance again. >>12774 good to see a friendly face.

>>12822 <3

>>12790 >I really don't understand the people like you which have an entire pink desktop It's a pretty damn well color, especially Magenta. Personally, I don't understand how you can dislike it with the whole 'neon' aesthetic, it's definitely a color that fits real well. I never really related with the whole "pink = girl color" factor mostly because that kind of stuff never went on in my household (and tbh im thankful for it) >Are you a fuarrrking glitterboy? now, in what area of the world is that term used >>12804 >default colors on weechat you actually reminded me to mess with weechat needs a different colors but thanks for reminding me lol

>>12824 some people just can't accept that pink/purple aren't girl colors

>>12769 Can i have your wallpaper, please?

>>12804 >>12772 here. 1. I like my Firefox to not be Chrome. 2. Those are the Haiku icons, just my preference. 3. Did I not post 2 screenshots?

>>12046 >friends all my friends couldn't really care for shades of pink being used in things, no excuse needed. Not even sure what an excuse would even be for having a shades of pink on your desktop... >"wow you have pink on your desktop, are you gay?" >"its /cyb/ you just wouldnt get it buddy" i expect my friends to be more thoughtful than that, lol >family I'm 10x sure they wouldn't care for it either, especially because I'm sure they care more for their thought that "I look like someone the NSA wants to come and silence" because I have a triple monitor setup it's just the fact that pink now isn't suddenly a color based off gender roles, man either way you say this like enjoying pink for an aesthetic is like having a bunch of dragon dicks all over your desktop with Aqua - Barbie Girl playing on repeat

Recently installed win7 on my desktop for games. I run Antergos on my laptop for code and such.

>>12826 Here you go!

>>12825 while i think that >>12828 is basically right, you also gotta agree that pink theme with freaking snowflakes falling is still kitschig as hell i mean seriously i'm somewhat disapointed there is no real time 3d rendered japanese gril playing in the snow or some shit

>>12804 go home /g/tard

>>12831 This is a 'no bully' zone

I take them this morning for another purpose. Whatever they still fit.

>>12834 Could I get that wallpaper please?

>>12835 Of course :3

Viewed on an 1856x1392 IBM CRT monitor

>>12774 >2500K @ 5.9 GHz Wut. Do you live at a liquid nitrogen factory or something? Nice font rendering btw, did you do anything other than change the font? It looks nice.

>>12839 it's actually 4.5ghz, everything reads it incorrectly for some reason this is how windows reads it lol as for the font rendering all I did was install infinality, just using the default settings

>>12804 Yes, Yes I do need to see my own name on my wallpaper. It makes my dick feel big. Here's another for you to enjoy. :D

Hacking the world

>>12830 Thank you very much.

>>12837 Is that resolution stock or is it overclocked or something? I heard someone talking about overclocking CRTs for more resolution...

>>12843 Gimmie all your setting pretty please

fuck, i realized i accidentally made a new thread instead of replying. gonna go hang myself brb guys

>>12842 >>12843 these are so damn good, not ideal imo but really beautiful.

>>12847 Wall pls?

RIP Cougnut. I only use non-HDR landscape photos as walls tbh fam

>>12852 Nice. Mind telling me what you use as your icon and gtk-theme in the first 2?

i don't own one either but i'm a little disapoint at the lack of 4k monitors in this thread! >>12833 hehe, close enough! >>12837 i would not want CRTs for space reasons and because my eyes are shit, but they sure do make flat colors look more interesting aside from being cyb af >>12847 you know you can delete your posts and threads by ticking the check box and hitting the delete button right? i do it like every damn time to correct a typo >>12852 >>12853 nice color schemes and stuff >>12842 >>12843 you ARE a little crazy right? >>12854 i actually enjoy how many posts there are in this thread lately, nice seeing some activity. so many linux users reporting in <3 speaking of which, wtf is wrong with your hard drives F and G

>>12856 Sure m8 The first one is modified version of flatstudio I can't remember what the second one was but anything with murrine engine will do The icons is modified numix : https://github.com/numixproject/numix-folders

>>12859 Sure m8 Browser is palemoon

>>12861 Still don't know how to make it as candy-look as yours. Especially i love your pale-moon. Can you just gimmi your gtk and openbox themes as archives?

>>12861 Still don't know how to make it as candy-look as yours. Especially i love your pale-moon. Can you just gimmi your gtk and openbox themes as archives?

>>12857 Hey, I'm >>12854 here to answer your question. The answer is relatively simple: I downloaded Rainmeter for fun while I am at uni, and I haven't had time to actually mess much with the configs. I don't have F or G drives, I don't have Chrome or Opera installed, I run Windows Keylogger 10.0, not 8.1 No fuarrking idea why it shows the Wii name, either. I'm in the U.S., so I could change Celsius to Fahrenheit, but why bother? I am studying science, and I am pretty much only using SI units anyways. Might as well get more comfortable with Celsius. :3 What do you think of my wallpaper, and does it seem to blend with the rainmeter additions at all? I thought it seemed to, so that is why I picked that particular wallpaper. Also, I can't wait until I get a HDD for my other laptop so I can start using both Windows and GNU/Linux or *BSD again! Again, I just haven't had the time and mental energy to go get what I need.

>>12857 >you ARE a little crazy right? N- No

I dig minimalism.

>>12888 I like the minimalism as well, you get my approval

>>12888 Apple... Are you sure you are on the right website? It's not reddit or tumblr here.

>>12890 I was going wipe this mac and go all-Linux a few months back, but then the UK software company Serif released a really kick-ass cheap and no-subscription-required Photoshop competitor called Affinity Photo. It's worth it to me to keep OSX around just for that.

Still working on the homepage. I use openbox and LXDE. Not really a desktop, just my operating environment.

I installed babies first Linux distro on an old computer my dad was going to throw away, I can't connect it to the internet yet, but I'm just happy it runs, I ran into a few issues.

>>12897 Wall plz?

>>12901 What is the problem with the internet connection? what kind of interface are you using??

>>12902 here you go :3

Lainons what's better(more stable, more energy-saving, etc.): Gnome3, Cinnamon or Patheon?

>12454 i3

Nope. I'm using laptop, so i don't need tiling wm.

>>12903 I haven't got a wireless adapter that's compatible with Linux, it's not that much of a problem though because I'll be moving in about a month to a place where I can just connect via ethernet.

>>12905 i'm pretty sure gnome is not energy saving. whenever it runs my laptop starts vomiting heat. not other DEs tho

>>12905 Get XFCE4 That's what i'm using

>>12905 >using a de

>>12911 >using graphics at all tty up in this bitch

>>12906 >>12471 >>12912 What the problem with DEs all you guys have? I do understand if you prefer wm or console-mode, but i don't understand why do you just hate DEs. >>12909 Yes, gnome and cinnamon sre using more RAM and CPU than xfce, for example. But gnome is the most nice-looking one IMHO. I like xfce, but it looks too old-fashioned. I don't know what to do.

and back again..

fake arch reporting

>>12913 DEs are just too boated. They come with so many features that I don't care for, not to mention their tiling options aren't good.

Not too much rice for mine.

>>12913 >I like xfce, but it looks too old-fashioned. I don't know what to do. I will never understand people who feel this way.

>>12913 >What the problem with DEs all you guys have? if you open a window in a floating WM it pops up at a random place and you have to drag it around with the mouse it's potentially much more efficient to split the existing screen and later merge it again with your keyboard in a tiling WM that said: >>12911 >>12912 what if i need to edit a picture? i have used imagemagick recently but i need a browser or something SOMEWHERE to look at the fuarrrking thing? stop being such glitterboys..

>>12919 Fluxbox is pretty good for what it's worth, provided you configure it properly.

>>12919 >not using a de means cli only are you actually fuarrrking retarded? you can still use file managers and stuff like gimp without a de, it works exactly the same just without having to install a million extra packages that you don't need

>>12765 I'm complacent with my desktop at the moment, but I eventually may end up installing a WM for more simplicity. Plasma 5 has me hooked though. It functions really nicely and isn't that big of a resource hog.

Hi Lainons. I'm using this Metacity Theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Simple-Slim?content=68772 I tried to configure it to take off the title bar and icons in windows, and add an green border, without any success. Now, I could add the green border but I'm unable to take off the title bar at the same time. My terminal in first pic. I'm almost there: only the title bar has to disappear. Without the title bar, i expect to look like the second pic. Which modifications do I have to make in the code to render my terminal just with green borders? http://pastebin.com/1GvdAmmr Thanks.

just need to adjust the colors and everything will be fine

>>12923 If you want to achieve that look better just switch to openbox to be honest

>>12925 Thanks, dude.

>>12888 >using a garish, over designed deviantart version of lainos as your wallpaper >minimalist You're just clean.

After fighting with xft for dmenu, tabbed and a few other annoyances i have most things working on OpenBSD 5.8.

>>12930 hardware?

>>12931 using a x201 thinkpad so everything works out of the box

>>12930 Is that dmenu controlling mpd? Can you share the script?

>>12933 it's xmms2 and this is what i use: xmms2 j $(xmms2 list | dmenu -i -fn DejavuSansMono:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:bold:autohint=true -nb \"#080808\" -sb \"#f15a5a\" -sf \"#080808\" -b -l 15 | egrep -o \"\\[[0-9]+/\" | sed \"s/\\([\\[\\/]\\)//g\") It was just a short fix but if you can list track names with numbers it should work for anything

>>12934 Thanks!

>>12935 wtf kalyx

>>12765

>>12937 Pls give me that wallpaper it's beautiful

>>12938

>>12937 >Sup unix porn Ugh...

>desktops are art neat

>>12942 you have to share your files to free the art though

>>12922 this looks really nice.

ok so i just got into i3 and so on myself this guy has a cool setup https://github.com/electro7/dotfiles it's for debian/i3 i made a shell script to install his soykaf faster, there was detailed instructions but i didnt feel like typing them in by hand so you can just install a debian (without gfx) on virtualbox or something to try it out, log in as root and then run $ apt-get install curl $ bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mope1/dotfiles/master/netinstall/install.sh) it will install some packages and my fork of electro7's dotfiles it's still wip so your username is electro7 because he had his homedir name hardcoded somewhere in his configs, but my script prompts you for password somewhere in the middle there is still some soykaf missing and some things i dont understand [1] so do it on virtualbox or a machine you dont care about [1] i cant get iceweasel to start somehow (it used to work without lightdm and his configs), and how the fuarrrk do i copy paste from shell to vim and out again, middle mouse doesnt seem to paste in vim. and also i need to set up automatic username login in lightdm so you dont have to type electro7 or whatever you choose for username (once you can do that)

>>12945 ah yes and im also autoinstalling virtualbox guest additions so just "put them in" before you do it and then uh when it's done hit reboot or something it should come up fine

>>12945 ah yes and also i made a pull request because he forgot to install some soykaf in README.md (or they were removed from debian base install?) also screenshot proof that it werks

>>12945 >apt-get install curl Isn't curl part of gnutils? What kind of distribution doesn't include curl in it's installation?

>>12948 i dunno it wasnt there? no biggie man maybe they have only wget, after all those two can do pretty much the same, main difference being the defaults and flags the debian base system is extremely bare and it even asks you if you want to *use network mirror or just the medium you just installed from*, like if you're somewhere in the desert and you whip out your usb stick and go like THIS IS DEBIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN also ddt confirmed slow af on iceweasel

>>12943 ??? something in particular you want?

>>12927 What is the font you're using? What is the video you're watching? kool.

>>13004 >Kalyx needs to stop blaming the Linux userbase as a whole for the soykaf on this site and ban the Archfags instead. did it ever occur to you that grouping people by arbitrary random things such as their OS is completely useless? >>13025 >I can't assume whether they are the same posters or not. i see so it's some kind of very recent phenomenon? it's probably just one guy. >>13025 >Sage because I'm trying to maintain the quality of the board instead of bitching constantly. It may be a foreign concept to you. >It may be a foreign concept to you. that's not how maintaining the quality works :P

>>12949 I'd like to use that terminal font. Would you be so kind to tell

>>13026 >Kalyx needs to stop blaming the Linux userbase as a whole for the soykaf on this site and ban the Archfags instead. >did it ever occur to you that grouping people by arbitrary random things such as their OS is completely useless? Claiming that anything is completely useless, particularly human classification, is a large leap to a conclusion. In fact, I'd say that the Linux userbase is at the very least people who have overcame their need for the security of Windows by various means, so it in fact IS a grouping. The conflict makes itself known in that there are Ubuntu users that want all the answers, Debian users that want stability and security, Gentoo users who want to meme/tinfoil/be smart and user of OpenBSD that want to have jobs. So yes, ban the people that are causing the problem. This will be a mix of users. Possibly mainly users of one operating system. Not that I'm actually advocating for banning users of one operating system, that would be a lack of understanding of the issue.

>>13054 Note: I mean to separate the above quotes, but forgot to format it correctly. The two quotes are two different people.

>>13054 No one is getting derezzed because of the OS they choose to use. You will get derezzed if you spout soykaf. Final warning.

>>12930 mind sharing the wallpaper for that first one?

Are you connected to yourself?

>>13029 I've been looking all over for this wallpaper, could you post it please?

>>13091 Not the owner of the desktop but this is the highest resolution image I can find.

>>13068 >>13071 experiments...

>>13091 i looked for the wallpaper because you mentioned it so thanks >>13093 >>13101 .. don't. it's not worth it. just install linux if you want to do ricing or otherwise leave it be.

>>13111 >do ricing I rice, chummer. This machine has linux installed Windows is just what i grew up with, maybe you can't understand.

>>13093 Thanks buddy

>>13093 higher quality Im the desktop owner too :>

>>13115 thanks, your desktop is great

>>13031 this is really cool. i dont care for orange, but very nice work. clean and consistent.

>>13129 Thank you for the praise. It used to be gray on black, but I found that too strainful eventually, since I use that machine mostly in the evening and nights and therefore with rather dim ambient light. Orange was inspired by the PLATO terminal. It's easy on the eyes and still offers enough contrast to be perfectly readable. It wasn't much work, since I use hardly any GTK programs. dwm (the WM) and st (the terminal) use hard-coded colors, so they're very consistent. I wrote my own newsbeuter, mc and moc themes. Clean and consistent were my goal. I'm glad it shows.

>>13031 >>13141 Ugh...

>>13152 this tbh

Super simple really.

>>13152 >>13154 what's that even supposed to mean. could you be anymore unconstructive.

>>13141 it would be interesting if you could use a var for the theme color and have it propagate to all the other theme files.

>>13173 it means your desktops is offensive to my eyes

>>12928 What font are you _actually_ using? There's no way that's Cantarell 10...

Anyone running Arch on a multi-monitor system? I've got a HD7950 outputting to 3 monitors (one HDMI, one DP & one active-DP adapter to DVI - two of the monitors are mirrored) and I'm wondering how hard this is going to be to set up on Arch. Been running Linux on laptops fine for years, but now I want to switch my desktop over to Linux full-time too.

>>13245 I run 2 monitors and it just werks, but I'm on nvidia so I can't say it'll be the same for you

>>12858 What wm is that? What is the top bar?

>>13249 not him, but he uses xfce4 panel and openbox

>>13206 OhSnap It's an awesome bitmap font . It's in the AUR

>>13112 yes but the thing is this i dabbled with windows ricing it sucked so much for so many reasons * the config is a blob i think * programs will take SOME RANDOM PORTION of your colors and ignore the others which results in unreadable interfaces * at best some programs will blind you when you make a dark rice, at worst multiple programs become unusable because they ignore the font color but their user interfaces adapt to your darkish color * i hate the old window design because it makes soykaf hard to click and fuarrrks with my alt-tab-keep-finger-on-tab-click-window-with-mouse power user move (try it, it rocks) * the new design cant be riced and therefore is like kicking dead whales down the beach too (talking about win7 here, i dont win8/10)

>>13278 pretty much this, it's nearly impossible to have a fully consistent theme on windows

Comfy gnome

>>13278 >my alt-tab-keep-finger-on-tab-click-window-with-mouse power user move Please explain, not all too sure what you're talking about

I wouldn't like to participate in this thread because I think my desktop is not special and not worth sharing. I will however still post because otherwise the thread might look biased with almost everyone proudly presenting their little comfy space.

>>13336 Mind sharing that wallpaper?

Would I ask for help on this thread? Because I've been working on customizing the Ultra-Flat icon set to completely match my green theme, but for some reason I cannot for the life of me get it to change the volume, battery, and power icons on the bottom left corner. Furthermore, certain icons just don't work even if the image is in the pack (such as emacs or fceux.) And finally, I can't get Whisker menu to use my gtk theme. (also if you feel like being reaally nice, how come screenfetch doesn't detect my DE, GTK theme, icon pack, or font?

Rate my unfinished rice /tech/

>>13372 not bad for such a small screen, how can you read text that small? Is your screen physically huge?

>>13373 It's a 12.1" X200 but I have pretty good eyes and sit quite close to the screen

Never really riced my desktop before. Did I do alright?

Makes me happy.

>>13513 where are their faces

>>13519 No idea. I do wonder why the blonde girl at the front is pretending to hold someone though.

>>13513 gonna need that wallpaper please kind anon.

>>13513 wallpaper please?

>>12822 Great! Mine's a bit Gnome-y. I'll move to something else eventually. Probably going to use jwm on the server i'm setting up

I guess the blue on pink looks a bit gaudy, but I'm happy with it. It seems to give me the best contrast at night and in daylight. Screenshot looks a bit weird because it's a 1440x900 thinkpad hooked up to a 1280x1024 monitor.

Only the bare minimum of rice applied to make this comfy. >>13513 >flat icons >dock >>12941 Absolutely 10/10. I wish interfaces still looked like this. >>12887 If you're still here, try out some of the options in classic theme restorer. I couldn't get it exactly like it, but I made icecat look like a slightly more flat palemoon.

I need a new laptop this one is just hell

>>13031 I didn't even know it was possible to get rice this beautifully consistent and minimalist. Holy soykaf I need to step up my game.

>>13302 >>13278 your alt-tab tip only really speeds things up... it is a cool way of navigating though, i'm well aware! Got the old laptop/terminal onto Win10 ~ you're right, it's much less exploitable. >>13338 this chummer means jumping between windows as an alternative from clicking tabs up top, i'm fairly sure.

>>12941 Not a mac-user though this looks schway >>13602 Cleaned it up a bit, files everywhere were shitting me ~ AKIRA theme because it's awesome!

>>13594 the secret is TUI & CLI applications. there's only one gtk program in the screens, being luakit, which is completely riceable like all minimal gtk browsers. gui vs tui always makes a huge difference. compare the first scrot, transmission vs thunar vs midnight commander. And then there's the second one... i love TUIs and it more or less discovered accidently that they *also* make for a very consistent overall appearance.

>>13031 what programs are those? I need to switch over some more lightweight programs like file manager and music player to not use so much ram on this old thinkpad

>>13613 not all in the screenshots, but here's a selection of programs i use.. file manager: midnight commander (mc) music player: music on console (moc or mocp, depending on distro) email: mutt RSS: newsbeuter multiplexer: tmux terminal: st (suckless' simple terminal; from source) WM: dwm (suckless too; from source) irc: irssi video player: mplayer without a gui

>>13485 I like it, friend! Those xbm buttons are clever. Having a swell time ricing my Openbox setup.

>>13540 >>13545 Here you go >>>13535 chuckled

>>13610 Do you organize your images? If so, what do you use for that task? For example, using mc + feh would be a real pain. I currently use urxvt + ranger, but I want to move to st.

>>13568 And now for something much better than I had yesterday. XFCE masterrace. >>13610 You'd be more consistent if you used rtorrent; that GUI out of nowhere is very jarring.

>>13638 I have a huge collection and I just use folders with ranger+sxiv. Sometimes I hardlink pictures to be in more than one folder too. If you're using feh, definitely check out sxiv. It's much better.

>>13535 That's Sakura Kyouko. She's delusional.

>>13629 Openbox is such a nice and comfy desktop environment. It's pretty easy to rice as well. I like your setup too Lanion. What font are you using?

>>13650 Openbox is standalone WM though

>>13643 *she's a tomato

>>13638 I do. I organize them hierarchically through folders, like >>13640 I didn't enjoy using feh in dwm, because it doesn't tile well. Currently i'm using viewnior for viewing images, since it's minimal gui tiles like a proper window. I briefly tried feh with mc and opened images through the mc command line with "feh *", ie told feh to open all of them, or - in the rare case i want a specific image - "feh ctrl+enter", which copies the marked file's name into the command line. it was underwhelming indeed. hence i returned to viewnior, which fullfills my needs just fine.

>>13650 Thanks! The font in the lemonbar is Siji and the font in the browser and urxvt is lemon.

Installed i3 yesterday, absolutely loving it so far. Nothing open because everything else is still themed to match my old Awesome setup

>>13696 I love that background. Too bad it is from touhou about which I don't care. I do however have a collection of about 30-40 other minimalist wallpapers. If anyone wnats it I could upload it to volafile.

>>13696 >1080

>>13698 1920x1080 on the left, 1440x900 on the right. A few more lines would be nice, but nobody throws nice monitors out round here and I'm already just short of this months rent >>13697 That would be great, share the love man.

>>13697 I'd love to have those wallpaper lainon.

>>13696 where's her face

>tfw you will never have unrestricted movement in the Wired why even go on

>>13736 Keep learning, and you will find the light in this dark abyss.

Does anyone have a homescreen they'd mine sharing with me or all of Lainchan I guess?

>>12773 Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA! Im in that screenshot. I was b&ed from the irc soon after.

let's all love lain

>>13761 <3

>>13770 <3

lainchan is awesome imageboard and irc channel so nice

>>13761 Why is that image so attractive?

>>13800 my waifu? or the wall?

I also provided the image of the background as well so no one has to ask for it.

>>13825 Win10 >mfw

>>13736 /r/equest the wallpaper.

>>13825 you are a gentleman

Here are the minimalist wallpapers I promised, get them before they expire, they are under wallpapers.tar: https://volafile.io/r/kUFzLJ

>>13824 Not him, but is your waifu a model, cause she poses pretty well?

>>13761 Ughhh, ughhh, how did you set it as your wallpaper?

>>13840 yes >>13844 windows xp has a feature called active desktop that lets you set a web page as your wallpaper I used this http://fauux.neocities.org/wind.html

>>13845 Oh yeah I remember that

My "work" laptop. I usually just connect to my vnc server at the office from a Starbucks or library. No nonsense, just a wm that doesn't get in my way and a few tools to keep me alive.

>>13857 Honestly, that is really nice!

>>13830 One of my hobbies is playing games. Windows is perfectly suitable for that. I'm thinking of getting a thinkpad or cheap laptop soon just to use for web browsing/research. I will be using Linux or BSD for that job. >>13834 np. I know people usually ask for wallpapers in these type of threads so I just went ahead and provided it from the beginning.

>>13845 >that rifle posture

rate hate rape b8

december is here, figured it was time for a new desk >screenshot taken a few days ago

Anyone know why every picture between >>12765 and >>12941 404's (basically 2 weeks worth of posts). Did kaylx delete a bunch of shit?

Emacs master race.
