V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 It's been a while since I posted something in this ol' thread, so here goes... I set the screenshot purposefully to shoot my mouse cursor so that you'd see that the side panel is not usually visible. It only slides out when my mouse goes to the left margin of the screen. The screenshot caught the weather app as it was rolling from humidity (H) to temperature. That's why it looks a wee bit out of alignment in that shot. 4 Quote
Dr. J Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Here's my latest setup, MATE on Debian: The Dual monitor setup uses the larger (TV) as a primary. I downloaded that 4k wallpaper just for that. 2 Quote

abarbarian Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Click for a bigger picture. Fate threw me a chance to have a very much needed very cheap holiday on the Norfolk Broads a few weeks ago. We moored away from civilization on this night and this was the view from my porthole in my cabin. Using it as a wallpaper on my MX-15 set up. Edited May 11, 2016 by abarbarian 2 Quote

I think disappearing docks and side panels are the biz. You get a neat clean wallpaper and all the icons you need with a small movement of the mouse, fab. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 I forgot to say what that wallpaper was all about. It's the silhouettes of all my kittles... Patches (bottom l), Precious, Li'l Black Kitty (bottom r), Bootsie (upper l) and her son, Mr. Boots. The last two are my workshop kitties. I thought this was an appropriate Friday the 13th wallpaper. 2 Quote
Dr. J Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Nice indeed. I'm still using KDE 4 (Debian still supports it). I never did like the breeze theme, Oxygen is for me... I have Slackware as well, but that's just a virtual machine with the default config of Xfce. I'd use KDE there too, but running two instances of it tends to act like a black hole on RAM. Quote
securitybreach Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Looks nice Dr.J I could never get used to the kickoff menu on KDE4. I always changed it to the "classic" menu instead. Quote
Dr. J Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Looks nice Dr.J I could never get used to the kickoff menu on KDE4. I always changed it to the "classic" menu instead. I actually prefer a classic menu myself, but It uses the widget theme in KDE 4, instead of the desktop theme (they changed that in plasma5). 1 Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I love KDE best, but xfce is nearly as configurable. I am a sucker for transparency on computers that can handle it. Quote
Dr. J Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Back to Arch, back to Plasma 5... The theme is 'Antü' from the AUR. The wallpaper is just one of a growing slideshow. 2 Quote
securitybreach Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Not much has changed except for new mb, new cpu and more ram. Archlinux / i3wm Wallpaper: https://i.imgur.com/Rs5qraN.jpg 2 Quote
Dr. J Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Been using herbstluftwm for a while now... I'm using i3status for batter and network monitors: 2 Quote
securitybreach Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Got my new 27" monitor (bottom middle). The bottom right one is connected to the laptop but the other 4 are on my main machine. The 27" monitor only ran me $130 so it was a heck of a deal The total resolution of my main rig is 5440x2160 BTW the monitors are not crooked, it is just the angel of the shot. 1 Quote
abarbarian Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 So here is my Dell 4700 (special reserve rescue pc) running on a ten year old 17" flat screen with MX-15. 1 Quote
abarbarian Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Wait..no Arch? Hmm been pretty knocked about by the fates this year and still have a busted collar bone an am busy house hunting, done two 700 mile round trips in the last two weeks. Downloaded arch every month since January but have never had the energy to do an install so am still with MX-15. On me last trip I found a house I might buy you can just see in the center of the picture in the background. Edited August 31, 2016 by abarbarian 1 Quote
securitybreach Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Wow, sorry to hear about the busted collarbone. Very beautiful area you are moving to, actually breathtaking. Quote

Thought I had posted here about me bike crash, meds must be interfering with normal grey cell processes. Those are two of the minor beaches out of the thirty or so in the area. I'm retiring to the area to be a beach bum 1 Quote

Dr. J Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Hmm... haven't posted anything here for a while. Just for kicks, here's a shot of Debian on the little MSI Netbook. I've turned it into my main work machine... super handy for working on the go, and runs very nicely with Debian. (I still have win7 on there, but it's torture on the older Atom processor... took me 30 mins yesterday just update the bloomin' antivirus) 4 Quote

(spectrwm) http://qsl.net/wa4chq/deskie.jpg I recon that is a Kurosawa film still in the background. http://www.actingoutpolitics.com/yojimbo-1961-by-akira-kurosawa/ An the "When in doubt ------- Slackware 14.1" text looks like a find the missing words puzzle from the Have I Got News For You tv show. For exampl " When in doubt handcuff yourself to a radiator but do not use Slackware 14.1" or such like Quote
