And so many amazing apps! Most of the software it comes with I always end up installing anyway, it just makes sense to start with #! in the first place. Especially the terminal apps section, makes you wonder how you survived without it before.

Edit: Decided to add my own screens, even though its pretty much default #!. What can I say it suits my taste exactly.

P.S. Ootput, what are you playing?

Looks like Warcraft.

Hey Mate,

What application do you use to have "macish taskbar" at the top?

Thanks

Wow, very nice! Could you please share the darkroom gtk theme, I can't seem to find it anywhere... Also, how did you get transparency in your gtk theme? Is that something exaile-specific or is it proper transparency for everything gtk?

DarkRoom comes with Ubuntu, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere. I'm not sure how to share the color scheme, I think I've seen people sharing some text file with color values which you can apply. If I figure it out, I'll post it, you might get similar results with other GTK themes.

Oh and yeah, the other thing is Exaile only :(

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
