I do but I could never understand Gibberish language of the command line.

I am command line illiterate. I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list.
Re: MX-17 Screenshots
Sure, but there is some irony here because in this case you are trying to change/adjust the text output of your terminal - the very interface into which you type commands. You probably can't avoid at least some commands in this case.
Neofetch is a CLI program that will display certain system information if you run it from within a terminal (by using the "neofetch" command). It's not part of the terminal but a separate program which you can install.
It really can't hurt to read through that section of the manual and try to grasp at least some basic ideas or concepts. If you can't understand any part, you can always ask questions here.

Back in the early 1980's I couldn't understand the command line and it's 2018 now, I still don't understand it in the 40 some odd years of trying. That's why I ask questions here.asqwerth wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 5:21 amSure, but there is some irony here because in this case you are trying to change/adjust the text output of your terminal - the very interface into which you type commands.

Re: MX-17 Screenshots
Right, but we weren't talking about the command line. We were talking about the fact that you didn't know how to see hidden files. That answer is in the Users Manual, and finding it requires simple keystrokes:
Alt-F1
Ctrl-F
hidden files
That lands you right on top of this:
Alt-F1
Ctrl-F
hidden files
That lands you right on top of this:
Nothing difficult about finding the answer, and nothing scary about taking care of the problem.Hidden files are out of sight by default, but can be made visible via the menu (View > Show Hidden Files) or by pressing Ctrl-H

I continue my Windows fetish with Bubbles screensaver. It runs glitch-free, but screenshots don’t do it justice. The screenshot utility aborts the screensaver when taking the screenshot and that might be what causes the bubbles to appear distorted.
Background: I can probably find a link if someone is interested
Icons: Rosa icons from Rosa Linux

GTK: TraditionalOk (modified)
Screensaver: Bubbles from Windows 8.1 x64 (uses Wine)
Re: MX-17 Screenshots
My second post on MX Linux Forums.
Again, it is just a screenshot of my improved desktop. Icons (Launchers) are sorted by category first and name second. First: Documents commonly used; then file managers (3) most Google services excepting Google +, then music sites opened with VLC including my favorite classical music folder on my system, then search (local files and web (4)), then social media (3), then video sites and finally a couple of weather sites.
I have added custom image files to most of them for easy recognition.
Prior to categorization of alphabetically sorted launchers I could still forget I had a link on my desktop. <:0 It seems I only have so many brain cells left and need all the help I can get. :)
I don't mind at all hitting a super key and typing in the first few letters of a program, but having most commonly used links right on my desktop is a very functional thing for me.
And custom images for the panel also, quick recognition. It use to be that the icons for Leafpad and Gedit, for example, looked exactly the same and I would forget which was which. Now a glance lets me know. No guessing or remembering. It works well for me, I've got a lot of room, and it's a great jumping off point for doing whatever I am into at that moment.
That's it. No be deal. But a very functional desktop for me.
And a question: What's the largest file (image) size I can upload?
Thanks again.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Re: MX-17 Screenshots
I think, it's about 300kB per image. You can squeeze images quite a lot by saving it to jpeg, e.g. from within Nomacs viewer.
It shrinks about 50% to 80% of png size.

Re: MX-17 Screenshots
300 KB is correct. You can also use an image hosting service and paste the BB code they post on their site. Just ensure it is a well known legitimate site. I use Imgur.
