Too busy. I'd get seizures seeing all that carp on my monitor. ;)

 

Same here, I am more comfortable just seeing a bunch of terminals.

I think that the detailing for the title bars is splendid. Arch + Window Maker - theme - Ladybird. 😍

 

Very nice 👍

Here is my VBox install of MX-19 with the Fluxbox desktop. All I've done here is change the background. The desktop icons can be hidden if you want, or you can add more easily enough.

Nice wall papers but I don't like Fluxbox, but to each is own.

 

Where are the fluxbox posts? I do not see any on the last two pages. Do you mean WindowMaker?

Those are not fluxbox, those are window maker. Fluxbox is a bit more plain than Window Maker out of the box.

I've updated my Windows 10 VirtualBox installation. Got rid of Mageia (it failed to update properly) and MX-Linux (I have it on the rails on a couple of machines.) Now I'm experimenting with Debian LXQt.

Here's how it looks:

@wa4chq good move there mate it is time we had some cheerfulness. Here is my Live MX-19 with persistence that I am using whilst I rebuild my new Arch after I fiddled it to death.

Rebuild? What is that?

 

I keep all my configs on github and backed up locally. I can easily recreate the installation in like 10 minutes. Download the packages and drop in the configs, done.. B)

Well first of all you have to try out tons of obscure programs over an extended period of time. Experiment with hundreds of esoterik tweaks and customisations without really knowing what you are doing. Attempt a fair few successful rescues when you have fiddled to much and finally throw in the towel when a rescue is not even remotely possible. Usually a good thing as by then your os is so bogged down with left over crud from lousy uninstallers and forgotten changed config files that it hardly functions. 😜

This is my icewm set up I am using on my fresh Arch install until I can figure out how to install Window Maker 😎

Yer just mesmerised by the coffee beans 😂

 

Whole bean, FTW. Except for some days when I'm feeling too lazy to grind 'em. I guess that's being pretty dang lazy!
