After a BSOD- and glitch-filled stint with Windows 8.1 the last two days I've switched back to 7 and updated the look.

 

One thing I never understood is why there aren't more people using a left- or right-docked taskbar. It wastes much less empty taskbar space) and gives you back your precious vertical space. Less scrolling! More lines of code!

(I really love this wallpaper.)

 

Also found a rather nice Eclipse theme (finally something less ugly!)

Figured I'd upate.  Installed Xubuntu on a computer the other day and found I really like the feel of the new XFCE.  I'd piddled around in it before but it seemed like it never had many of the features I really wanted from a full fledged desktop environment.  This new version though seems like it has every feature of Gnome 2 I ever missed after the advent of Gnome 3 and Unity.  I think I'll stick with this one for a while.

Cant figure out how to make it "cleaner"

Pin Spotify to your task bar, hide the Norton system tray icon and move the random stuff on your desktop to the documents folder... job done?

Also nice background :)

I understand.. Mine has no icons on desktop... only on the taskbar. :)

 

You can create folders on desktop.. and name them anything you like.. such as Games, Internet, etc..  so you could move the icons to the specific folder.

 

Or you can use most used icons on the taskbar and the rest in the program menu.

Shots of my Desktop and Start Screen.

 

The background image is a shot I captured with my HTC One X of a conference room where I taught an English class, weeks ago.

 

I had my Start Menu items separated and categorized but I like them all together (perhaps messy and cluttered) because it's more similar to the WP default tile arrangements. Click on the image to have a look a all the tiles from beginning to end.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By monterxz · Posted

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
