A somewhat different screenshot to my last..

fluxbox using the FluxAqua theme (thanks for the link, mark)

Wallpaper is something from Deviant Art --> Wallpapers --> Abstract (a section worth checking, and PM me if you want the actual file)

Using Eterm -x --buttonbar=0 --scrollbar=0 -0 to get a completely transparent, borderless console.

^^^ I see London.

I see France.

I see someone's...

I.P. Address. :o

I dunno if you are sensitive to this info, but if you are, you might want to edit your screenshot. ;)

^^ You are using gedit for editing your config files?  I switched to nedit a few months ago, it is much lighter and quicker.

Thanks for the recommendation. I downloaded nedit.. not sure if I'll get on with it. The interface is a bit too windows 3.1 like for me... (not sure if it's a good comparison, lol - but it looks old... :p) Is it themeable? I'm open to other suggestions too..

I also don't find gedit to be particularly bloated.. maybe because if I'm editing a config file I won't be doing much more than playing music.

and mark, as you use Flux Aqua, which gtk theme do you use to go along with it, or are you not too bothered about getting them to match?

From what was gathered earlier when this was discussed, it seems that it uses OpenMotif. I looked into it, and it seemed that theming it was a lot of work...

586478919[/snapback]

Most of the matching between KDE and Gnome types of apps has already been done in Fedora, from what I can tell. I didn't to anything special, and they are similar on my box. I was happy with the defaults provided.

I got it through apt-get, I don't know about arch linux or where you'd get it.

Very excited about Breezy, enough so that I grabbed a daily iso and installed it yesterday. Had an issue w/ DHCP but it actually ended up being my router dying on me. So far so good, things are smooth, and theres lots of subtle changes that I'm enjoying in 5.10.

Must say that is one of the nicest KDE desktops I've seen in a long time. Is the system tray Superkaramba?

586479515[/snapback]

Everything on the desktop (excluding the icons and amaroK of course) is a Karamba/SuperKaramba module. The dock/taskbar, systray, sysinfo panel, clock, calendar, weather, all karamba/superkaramba.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      By +mram · Posted

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
