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:

desk13oct20055ex.th.png

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:

Wallpaper did used to have some copyright stuff but i removed it, I just found it on a google image search for vectors or something like that.

Using RoberTO's Milk 2.1,

Icon pack, I got it from the last link in the linux theming resources topic.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4. Download: draw.io 64-bit | Standalone ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: draw.io 32-bit | ARM64 | ARM64 Standalone Links: draw.io Home Page | Project page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
