KDE SE 4.10 default wallpaper

If you guys want to install archey on ubuntu,


sudo apt-get install lsb-release scrot

wget http://github.com/downloads/djmelik/archey/archey-0.2.8.deb

sudo dpkg -i archey-0.2.8.deb
[/CODE]

If you want to make it run at terminal start, type

[CODE]
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
FOR KDE REPLACE gedit with kate
[/CODE]

Scroll down all the way, and on a new line type archey. Save close, relaunch your terminal and it should work. In theory, this should work with Haggis's script too. If anyone tries it out, let me know how it goes.

My Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop!, last time using Ubuntu was in 2006!! It's so nice to see how it has been improved over the years, I'm triple booting it with Windows 8 and OS X 10.8.

Finally got Transparency working in XFCE again (Catalyst, Xrandr and XFWM compositing don't co-operate), so my desktop looks much nicer now :)

Arch Linux x64

XFCE 4.10

Theme: Albatross

Wallpaper: Also Calm (credit to Yorak for pointing out the bad link)

Icons: Potenza (AUR Link)

UI Font: Adobe Source Sans Pro (AUR Link)

Default GNOME 3.6 (or 3.4 can't remember) on Ubuntu 12.10.

Only showing my main monitor because otherwise it's too big to upload without using an external service.

Also couldn't get Haggis' script to do anything but sit and spin, so used Archey.

EDIT: This posting also shows all 3 the main usernames I use on stuff. Just noticed that.

Looking good! Are you using Infinality? Appears so. Hey, the wallpaper you linked to appears to be different than the one you are actually using. Do you think you could hook me up with the one you are using? It is very nice. Thanks in advance!

Haha, my bad, I tried a lot of wallpapers today and linked the wrong one. I'll fix it.

The actual one is Also Calm.

I'm actually not using Infinality, it's just the in-built XFCE font rendering with Anti-aliasing turned on and full hinting. :)

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
