To those that hate gnome 3 ; why not try mate? Mint and arch can easily get it installed, it's a continuation of Gnome2.

Anyway, my RPi is currently distcc-compiling 44 things so I'll screenshot when that's finished :)

xfce is pretty nice these days too, its what I've been using on my arch partition:

XFCE 4.10 with compiz/emerald

Zukitwo GTK2/3/emerald/panel background

Dockbar X with "invisible" and dockxyz themes.

I love Nextstep's UI! I'm going to have to try this out! How did you get the time/date/system specs widgets? Is it conkey? What theme?

Hi mate,

WindowMaker has always been an old favourite of mine from a decade ago - it was the 2nd WM I'd ever tried and I remember having pretty much all of the available dockapps loaded. Gkrellm could never be as pretty.

What you're seeing is indeed Conky. The.conkyrc can be found in my github repo (in signature), and it's someone else's creation - though I haven't the foggiest who. I modified it to pipe text from a Google Calendar tool.

Cheers

My latest one. I'm slowly customizing it the way I want it to be. Not happy that the dock icons look crappier the smaller the dock gets :/

Click to view in original resolution...hopefully Imageshack won't screw up the image.

Hey, what cairo dock theme is that? I've never really used cairo dock because all the theme's I've found look so guady, but that looks nice. been looking for a new dock program as I've been having bugs with all the other's I've tried recently (awn, docky, plank, dockbarx)

Well, it's just the default theme. I chose dock style as '3d plane' and in appearances tab made the background and separator background completely transparent.... it looked crappy with those on lol.

Make them transparent and it'll look like mine does above.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
