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.

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 :(

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
