Despite the fact that I enjoy seeing how other people configure their desktops, I have never posted mine here before. I intend to rectify that now. It doesn't change very much from month to month (other than the wallpaper) because I basically have it configured exactly how I want it.

GTK+ Theme: TaditionalOK (MATE's GTK3 variant of Clearlooks)

Window Border Color: #EDECEB

Input Box Color: #FFFFFF

Selected Item Color: #9A9A9A

Tooltips Color: #F5F5B5

Icon Theme: MATE-Faenza

Wallpaper: http://www.wallpapersbox.eu/data/media/867/Shore Waves Wallpaper 2560X1600.jpg

Nothing Special,

Xfce4 - Numix Theme - Faenza Icons - Alkano XCursors

Wallpaper found on Google

Im actually testing out Debian 7 and thinking of switching over from Arch purely because my power user setup disagrees with my better half who has now started using the desktop more often :p. Really need to work out if Steam will play nicely with my current setup first though, because i don't want to loose my gaming ability :D

switched from Xfce4 to DWM as it suits me better :)

Font: Envy Code R

SysInfo: Conky (showing each core usage of CPU / Loads / Mem / Down/Upspeed / Date & Time)

Wall found on google

Terminal: XTerm

Still in the process of working out the kinks in my custom DWM config.h and the colour scheme but you can't complain :)

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
