Rezza I didn't know you were a moderator here...

Yeah, only recently, and I haven't seen you around these parts for a while - welcome back anyway ;)

Here's my latest.. as seen on forums.gentoo.org

I still use your themes most of the time with OB3, man, using a slightly hacked Tropic Ocean right now in fact. But I agree with your reservations posted over at f.g.o - there doesn't really seem to be anywhere else to take OB3 theming, which is a shame because it is a truly excellent WM.

noob question,

Download the file FVWM-Pasq.tar.bz2 to your home dir, then do

rm -R .fvwm
tar -xjf FVWM-Pasq.tar.bz2
ln -s .fvwm-pasq .fvwm

WARNING It will delete your old .fvwm config

Agreed & agreed.

While my Neowin-presence has been all but nil these days, I always look forward to the screenshots offered on this thread. I've been recycling themes + .Xdefaults + panels; unfortunately, despite thinking that I had implemented something truly genuine, I'd soon realise that most of my thoughts were already conceived. :(

I end up borrowing ideas from shots of other WM's capabilities.

Ob3 truly is a versatile WM; I've taken advantage of many pipe scripts suggested @ f.g.o (nightmare's 'screen' session management, for instance.) It's xml configs aren't too shabby, either.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
