Nice. :) I have those icons set up sometimes. Nice theming too.
Thanks. I personally don't like the look of Windows 10 a lot. Maybe it's clean and aesthetic in some way. I think it's too black or white, too much contrast. I like gradients, less saturated colors and more roundness. Some of the Windows 10 icons remind me a little of the Windows 95/98 era.

Nice theming.

Not sure about the icons, though! ;) :p [clarification - elementary icons are generally nice, but I find their colours a little washed out. And these brown coloured folders (from the new Xubuntu?) are even more washed out than the blue ones]
Thank you. I got the icons from Elementary-Xfce on Github. Elementary project (the distro) has replaced their blue folder icons with these new "manila" colored folders. I like them, soft on the eyes. ;)

I've been enjoying playing with the blurring effect in KDE Neon (Plasma 5.14+). Very cool. Esp if you use a Kvantum theme with such effects as well. I use the darker version of this, KvGlass, since I like darker themes.

I also turned on blurring in Konsole for added effect.
Cool. KDE/QT is good for theming. And KDE developers don't see it as a problem. ;)

Last night was "let's use colour-change scripts" day for me.

I ran the Any Colour You Like Simple (ACYLS) icon tool to generate the icon set in a orange-to-purple colour gradient and with a wood grain texture.

https://github.com/worron/ACYLS


The fallback icon set for missing icons was Sardi-Ghost-Flexible, and I used the provided colour-change script to get the deep pink colour (I tried paler, more orangey-pink tones but I didn't like them).


The gtk theme is Adapta Nokto, but which was generated directly (compiled) through its provided autogen.sh script.

Instructions here: https://github.com/adapta-project/adapta-gtk-theme

There are additional options you can tag on when compiling, in order to change the colour of certain elements. But it's a very involved and inconvenient way to get things done because the names for the set of 4 themes that get built (light and dark themes plus their respective Eta versions) remain the same and you then have to rename various files and symlinks within the 4 theme folders and the theme itself, if you want them to co-exist with the original theme.

Too much trouble, especially now that Adapta is no longer being developed in its original form. I did a few Adapta variants previously to try to emulate the original Flatplat look, but now I'd just use oomox with Materia as the base.

If one likes a primarily unicolor look for icons ACYLS is a good choice with an easy to use tool to change colors.

Building a light as possible 386 PAE for Panasonic CF-U1. 1Gb-2GB ram. The "touchpad" on the U1 is the screen itself.

The liveUSB version of this is on an old 4Gb stick. Firefox wanted 16% of that so deleted firefox and tbird. Palemoon used 8% +-.

Here's a version I'm tinkering with using Toughbook CF-54. Getting use to having a dock so chose the stupidly simple one (Plank). Added Slingscold.

Top panel is normally hidden. I'm running it at 80% since muscle memory wants to go to the upper right corner to kill a page and that was turning on top panel. XFCE icon is upper left so the XFCE menu opens over there.

Cya.

Spent hours messing around with style settings, themes, icons and so on. I really don't like bright / white screens as they tend to bother my eyes. I set everything I could to dark & darker. Long story short - I didn't like it. Everything was just to dark. It was hard to distinguish one window from another. Especially the tops of the windows. Going to start over and lighten everything up.

I have four panels .. The top panel being the main panel with the applications menu. Panel-2 on the left that acts like a dock for launching applications. Panel-3 at the bottom is emulation applications, games and so on. Panel-4 was supposed to be for launching web-links / web-shorcuts. If I drag a url from the address section to the bookmarks toolbar, I get a functional link plus the "icon" for whatever site. The icon also lands on the toolbar. If I drag the link to the desktop I get a link / launcher, but no icon. So, I assign icons to the links. Trouble is - If I make any changes to the style / icon theme, it tends to mess up or even break the assigned icons.

Will add another screenshot after I get things lightened up. The panels are usually hidden.

But it hasn't found my wallpaper either : https://www.tineye.com/search/6100d1c25 ... f886d91cc/
Weird, because I dl'd it a few months ago and I kinda remember it was a post from 10 years ago at most.

And I see you're still very much into the extreme dark look. ;-)

    i also like opaque #373737 as background color for this one.

# . ~/.bashrc to load the modified bashrc
#  QUOTE from
#
# To complement and contrast the two most popular answers, . ~/.bashrc and exec bash:
# Both solutions effectively reload ~/.bashrc, but there are differences:
#    . ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bashrc will preserve your current shell:
#       Except for the modifications that reloading ~/.bashrc into the current shell (sourcing) makes, the current shell and its state are preserved, which includes environment variables, shell variables, shell options, shell functions, and command history.
#       exec bash, or, more robustly, exec "$BASH"[1], will replace your current shell with a new instance, and therefore only preserve your current shell's environment variables (including ones you've defined ad-hoc).
#       In other words: Any ad-hoc changes to the current shell in terms of shell variables, shell functions, shell options, command history are lost.
#
# Depending on your needs, one or the other approach may be preferred.
#
# [1] exec bash could in theory execute a different bash executable than the one that started the current shell, if it happens to exist in a directory listed earlier in the $PATH. Since special variable $BASH always contains the full path of the executable that started the current shell, exec "$BASH" is guaranteed to use the same executable.

Padding in terminal emulators :
Before
Image
After
Image
It works for emulators like xfce4-terminal and Terminator but not for rxvt-like ones which might be customized differently.

Add the following lines to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (create gtk.css if it doesn't exist) :

Code: Select all

VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
        padding: 10px;
}
You can exchange 10px for other values, and even choose em instead of pixels as unit so the padding will vary with your monospaced font :

Code: Select all

VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
        padding: 1em 1.5em 1.5em 2em;
}
