Not much different than last month, just the center monitor. Somewhat modified version of the stock Aero, pulled all the blue bits out of the toolbars and crammed them into the shadows instead.. kind of liked that from KDE so why not. Was poking around in the Linux screenshot thread, was bored, so why not, whipped up a little program to do a similar thing, just because.

Cool! How did you do that in your terminal? Can you upload your script/how to? Thanks!

It's just a quickie little C# program (my Python is awful) that pulls info from a couple sources, much of which is already provided by the platform.. the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter namespace for resource usage stats, queried the server service for uptime, query the registry for the shell then get the file version, etc. Think the most time spent was getting the stupid Windows logo to align properly lol. It's not ready for public usage (IE, it's spaghetti code I whipped up before I was even awake and embarrassing), I can put it somewhere later once I clean it up sure. Doesn't fit into the default console size either.. should probably have it check for that and do it top-to-bottom if it's not wide enough.

Ok. LOL! Let me know when it's all patched up. :) I'd love to have something like that.

It's been AGES since I posted in a Desktops thread... I thought it was about time!

    • Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.
    • Well done Massie. This is how to treat the Fox News filth.   
    • I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
