Morning desktip thread
tfw you wake up for a new thread
it's hot today
Reading through that bugzilla thread on the newtab change finally convinced me.
I really never took any of the fork guys seriously, but seeing how the firefox devs think of their users and how they treat people disagreeing with the changes made was what it took.
I don't know if any of the forks currently out there, or the ones being shilled here are any good, but mozilla has fucked this one up and sooner or later some other project is gonna be better.
You can't have a browser be both the fastest, most efficient, most customizable browser AND hold the hand of every grandmother who gets embarrased when Conduit changes their new tab page again.
Sometimes you have to make a decision between customizability and UX, and this seems to be to be so fucking far into the 'uh yeah this should be customizable' territory that I wouldn't be surprised to see this in IE. I have no idea how they reasoned this bullshit out. You should not have to install foreign js to change your fucking newtab page.
sorry for fucking up your fresh thread

It was 40°C here in Melbourne yesterday and it's bloody cold now.
It never changes

Link to the bugzilla thread?

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118285
The argument seems to be that powerusers won't mind installing an addon, and when people show up to tell them how fucking stupid that is, they just ignore them.
>>51968222
no extension installed

I'm using this one.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
I don't understand the point of a new tab page. I already know where I'm going when I open a tab, so I just type the first couple letters of the URL and I'm there
>>51968315
I don't actually use a startpage, I was only testing it because everyone has been complaining about it
>>51968253
I just got it working without the extension. I had to add "file://" to the start of the path to the html file.
"file:///home/dyl/dotfiles/startpage/index.html"

guys i dont think xsnow is supposed to do this
>>51968538
You're using compton, right? That'll do it.
>>51968470
Imo it would look better if you'd decrease the title bar height a bit.
>>51968538
turn off your compositor
>>51968538
Disable your compositing manager. Gosh I wish it worked though.
>>51968549
i dont even like it enough to work on it
it's 'ironic'
>>51968538
I don't know how you people get the cool problems like this, when I run xsnow + compton it doesn't even draw anything
I really wish that cool KDE dev guy would work on fiber instead of making new wallpapers :~(

No, just shadows/transparency. That weird effect happens on any WM with compton running.

>>51968968
Firefox has a (redundant) titlebar on it. Remove it and make your tab bar the same colour as your titlebars. That, or at least change the font on your tab bar to match everything else.
>>51968944
i can see it, kinda like that though. made it myself

I'm on a very fresh Ubuntu install (in b4 >ubuntu).
What fonts do you guys recommend? I really dislike the default terminal font.
Thank you
>>51969110
For the Terminal I recommend Inconsolta or Terminus, and for the rest: DejaVu Sans.
>>51969103
A little. Why the font though man
>>51969110
Terminus for bitmap, droid sans mono if not.
>>51969084
most here are absolutely hopeless, even in the facets that they pretend to be good at. It must be pretty depressing for them, knowing how shit they are in actuality.
>>51968959
tite background boy
>>51969150
What should i change the font to?
Windows ricing is fucking hard now
>>51969188
Something that matches the rest, dejavu, open sans, anything really
it's just like one single bitmap sentence in the middle of a non bitmap sea
>>51969128
>>51969150
Thanks lads. What do you mean "for bitmap"?
>>51969203
Heard OA yet?
>>51969211
If you want a bitmap font. Google it.

I'm going to have to disagree. Blackbox is just plain fucked, the visual styles are fewer in number and uglier.
>>51969267
Font rendering on opensuse sucks
>>51969235
no
what are you doing my man
>>51969291
I think it's more the font than the rendering
install infinality, find a better font
>>51969251
aero looks infinitely better than the travesty that is the default windows 10 visual style. removing aero was just a performance copout for those those shitty tablets that microsoft started making and nobody buys
>>51969284
>Blackbox
what? if you're referring to bblean, I'm pretty sure it's the same unmaintained 2007 mess that is was on w7..
modding w7 themes to work with glass8 is trivial.. and I'm not even a windows user LMAO!

there are other blackbox distributions for windows, bbZero is the popular one now. It's """"""maintained"""""", but Windows 10 compatibility is lower than Windows 8/7 in a few serious ways.
There have been few competent ports of W7 visual styles to W10
>>51969371
I'm more of a MTI / Playaz Circle / Criminal Hypnosis guy, but I respect the new stuff especially OA and Trick Dice

sxhkd. mostly because I use bspwm. Use some other stuff for triggering weird things like the special 'fn volume-up' key combo.
my xbm icons started to look like shit on dzen2. trying to set the color with ^fg() adds some kind of background shit, while ^bg() adds an even bigger background. the icon color stays black.
pic related. I'm using ^fg(lightblue)^bg(red) on a black background dzen2, just for example
can't find anything online, any ideas?
>>51969524

>>51969313
Strongly disagree. The new win10 style is way beyond the see-through / glass shit. That stuff is old. Look at any big website that looks good. The flat / material look is the new new, and for good reason. It looks a shit ton better than anything that came before.
>>51969578
how's it coming?

>>51967911

>>51969605
oh my god I hate literally everything you just said.
i hate the modern web
i hate the distorted `flat` trend that normals (who don't actually give a shit about having real passions in life) consider `hip` and `in`
i hate almost every website I visit (no I don't want to download 20MB of fucking javascript)
and anyone who says the the default windows 10 theme is good does not belong on this board to be honest. we're supposed to be the good-taste counterculture Übermensch.
I'm not saying we should blindly go back to windows 7/90's bitmap/skeuomorphic aesthetics. But I do think that there is a place for most aforementioned design elements in the modern man's operating system
Similar to how desktop ricing guides are considered harmful and are corrupting the youth for the worse, there is also no such thing as a design `guide` like that piece of shit that google have published about `material` flat design.

It's still gonna take me a couple of days at least. I'm learning the chrome API while doing this.
I don't know if it's possible to make it work on about: pages. Also since it's part of HTML it loads only when the page has loaded, so if you have slow internet or computer then it's gonna be really shit, maybe I could build it into firefox UI then it would be instant
>>51969691
anyone got some decent dotfiles?
>>51969775

>>51969833
>i guess to be useful it would need to be a replacement for the tab bar rather than just a second tab list like you said originally.
That's the plan
I'm trying to get rid of native tabs now >>51967946 but I'm sure there are better addons out there that do this desu.
>>51969879
Enable transparency, set it to 100%, set the bar color to #000, and then add a semi-transparent under it with bbInterface or Rainmeter
>>51969251
I like aero
>>51970005
that's because it allowed the operating system to look pretty good, unlike the mess users are left with now
>>51969897
ah i get it, but then the labels don't become clickable because of how the how bbzero handles them

it's objectively wrong which casts doubt on all their other translations & ruins immersion. There were a couple other ones too but APPARENTLY there's a bad superblock on my storage disk so I can't share the screenshots I archived as proof just right now
>>51970115
this is sweet. How did you move the menu bar to the bottom?
okay it's actually fine but I didn't save any of those examples I mentioned. But it's frustrating to refer to a 100 yen coin as a dollar, because that's obviously not what the character actually said. There were a couple other examples, like stock phrases being localized instead of translated directly, but whatever

>>51970698

I'm not opposed to paying for software. I never bought uBar because I didn't find it useful.
>>51970933
>>51970961
i stole it and then used it for like a day before getting too annoyed
>>51970961
paying for software is one thing, paying for bad software is another
just look at this. terrible.
>>51970969
oh the ironing
>>51970982
I just wanted something without a titlebar for desktop screenshots. Maybe I'll look into compiling my own version of Sequential, but until then LilyView serves its purpose.
>>51971018
>literally buying software just to use it in the desktop thread
>posts stock desktop anyway
lol
>>51971018
you spent money for desktop threads?
that's a little too hardcore
also, it's worth noting that the world's most recent release of the world's most advanced operating system doesn't use lanczos or better scaling either, even though firefox of all programs switched years ago
>>51971018
you could use mpv with --no-border and --pause or --loop-file for that
>>51971075
pretty sure he uses quicktime for video
>>51971031
>>51971071
Why is everyone so afraid of spending money? $5 isn't even a fast food meal anymore
>>51971083
spending money on software that actually deserves it is understandable
spending money on an image viewer when better, free ones exist is just foolish
>>51971075
>>51971079
I use mpv, but it has a square frame. I wanted rounded corners to match iTunes.
>>51971083
don't start with the implications, mayaka man. i bought a pack of jerky today and threw the whole thing away because it didn't taste good.
>>51971096
Thankfully I have enough disk space to install potentially several image viewers side-by-side. I didn't have to pass on Sequential to install LilyView.
>>51971111
>threw the whole thing away because it didn't taste good
just like u threw those quads away on ur wasteful western behavior
>>51971083
I wish I was bourgeois and could spend money on stuff to show off in desktop threads desu.
>>51971111
You should of gave it to me.
>>51971144
but you still bought it, and it's terrible
you should have emailed the developer and told them that you'd publish a borderless fork of sequential with leap motion support and drive them out of business if they didn't switch scaling algorithms
>>51971083

$5 is a negligible convenience tax. I pirate plenty of things but in this case paying for it was the path of least resistance.
I'm also more inclined to shell out for physical goods than digital, but it's such a small amount that I don't know why this is contentious at all.
