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 :(

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price. Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 - $109.99 | 33% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
