Hard?

Did you try apt-get install xfce (or whatever equivalent command is for your distro)?

hey mark, I tried e17. It is .... <wait for it> ... AAAAWWWWWESSOOOOMMMEEEE!!!!!! It's incredibly nice. I loved it, but it wasn't stable enough for me. So, I moved back to flux for a while. Might give PekWM a try or see if I can't figure out FVWM. Whichever works.

I've found E17 to be a lot of eye candy with not so comfortable usage. I just can't get the feel of it. FVWM/XFCE are better. Trying to get away from Gnome/KDE to something more lightweight. ;)

me too :) I've also been trying for soemthing more lightweight than gnome and kde, i tried e17, very nice looking.. but i jsut didn't find it useable.. which kinda defeats the purpose... I find xfce to be the perfect DE, very useable, no bloat of KDE or gnome

Lets see your desktop Mark.  :p

The only thing that ever changes are which apps I have open, and what background is shown (it selects randomly from a directory holding 8 or so images when I log in).

But, here it is:

Distro: Fedora

WM: Fluxbox (featuring the use of title-bar tabs in gaim)

WM Style: Flux-aqua (link)

Wall: my new love, Evangeline Lilly (from Lost) :wub:

Oh... And disregard which Neowin member I am warning in the warning control panel shown in that Firefox tab. :shifty:

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
