The funny thing is, I'm actually pretty normal in real life. I mean, like, I don't have much of one. But you know, I shave. I'm not fat. I do normalfag things like play music and skate. I have like this secret life on 4chan where I let out my inner weeb so that it doesn't impinge on my real life.

>>52125830
Personally I like testing, since packages are fairly up to date. Testing in my opinion is stable enough for average desktop and it doesn't have critical bugs like Sid version.
>>52125948
The brown/orange colour you have in quite a few places doesn't fit in.
>>52125900
when i used stable there were old, buggy versions of apps in the repos.
plus 'testing' isn't really that unstable, but you could always use backports if stability is really a priority

I must say I'm really starting to love the Awesome + Compton + Xfce combination.
Workspace switcher and clock is on the top (awesome) bar. Bottom (Xfce bar) has the following from left to right:
1: Whiskermenu
2: File tree
3: Quick screenshot tool (I also use shutter)
4: Network monitor
5: Logout/shutdown etc
6: Notification tray
Normal awesome can't have all that yummy stuff on the bottom, and it's still WAY faster than straight Xfce with Xfwm.

ive been meaning to switch browsers. whats the best browser with the least botnet?
>>52127749
Yes, they are. But they serve no objective purpose for functionality whatsoever.
If you are concerned for screenspace, titlebars should be the first thing to go.
>>52127746
>>52127679
>>52127711
I was talking about having friends, or all you so deep into eachother asses you dont ever know that people do more stuff than coding for money and then rice their pc to impress strangers anonymously on the internet, you guys are sad.
>>52127735
Indeed they are. Although sometimes it might be not very handy to told Alt to drag a window.
>>52127768
Obviously Firefox. Install a new 64-bit version with e10s, it doesn't lag.
>>52127773
You are doing it wrong. Same waste of screen space, plus they look bad.
>>52127706
how do you get your firefox like that?

>>52127773
>no objective purpose for functionality
Titlebars are very useful and serve a very important purpose in maintaining efficient UI flow in floating WMs, even for keyboard users, but it's not worth explaining to an autist like you. One day, you'll grow up and be able open your mind to new things without throwing a baby duck fit, but today isn't that day.
By the way, if you are concerned with screen space, the first thing to go should be all padding, such as that in your terminals and panel, and full-width bars that are more than half empty.
>>52127823
css
>>52127821
Both of those titlebar posts were me.
>>52127864

>>52127870
do you have a link to a tutorial/download or anything?
>>52127876
well thanks for that
for some reason i cant see the "(you)"
>>52127805
No, you were talking about jobs like retail. Learn to fucking read the conversation before you post in it, nigger. Discussions are not soapboxes for holier than thou faggots.
>>52127823
This is most likely a custom CSS style and startpage. I'm not the author of this specific CSS, but visit userstyles.org and nanami-tan.info for some info on how to do wondrous things with your startpage and visual appearance in Firefox. Mind that it might take an inexperienced user about 15+ hours to create a custom page or CSS, or up to 3-4 hours to figure out how to use someone else's.
>>52127843
There are some features that compromise privacy, but overall there's no actual tracking by Mozilla, you can opt out of everything and it will actually stop tracking. I know a few addons which should handle most of the tracking. Didn't double-check it via Wireshark though.
>>52127927
literally 100% true of chromium
there is no reason to use chromefox in 2016
>>52127865
>Titlebars are very useful and serve a very important purpose in maintaining efficient UI flow in floating WMs
Not if you have a hand by a modifier key. Which you should, assuming you are right handed, your left hand would be resting on the mod key even when using the mouse. Meaning it's simply faster not to move the mouse up to a titlebar, and instead hold a mod key and drag from any position in the window. Right click can be used for dynamic resizing.
Close buttons and minimize buttons are also far faster to keybind. There's really no functional use for titlebars. They're great for aesthetics, I use them solely for that personally.
>if you are concerned with screen space, the first thing to go should be all padding, such as that in your terminals and panel, and full-width bars that are more than half empty.
You're right about that. Obviously, I wasn't talking about myself. But a few people seem to be under the impression that titlebars aren't a waste of space.
Sounds a bit to me like you're the one having a fit, dude. I was just stating a fact.
>>52127894
https://github.com/anshicat/dotfiles/tree/master/css
>>52127937
What do you mean? Firefox with e10s is compatible with most old addons that weren't specifically updated for this, and it works differently than Chromium, at least when a userscript hangs, all pages that use this userscript will hang, which is not the case with Chromium, meaning they behave at least somewhat differently.
>vscream shows up
>thread mysteriously fills with shitposting minutes later
hmmm
>>52127993
It's actually __
shhh, it's a secret
>>52127985
A modifier key bound to intuitive actions will only get you as far as moving and resizing. What happens when you double left click the titlebar? Right click? Middle click? While dragging? You have buttons and modifiers on your mouse, and you need a special area of the window where they are guaranteed not to be bound to an application function if you wish to use them to manage windows. And what if you want to use a modifier key and a mouse gesture inside a program? Windowing systems should steal as few actions as possible.

The only one who talked about jobs is you (if you are that Anon) I was saying that you are so fucking autistic that you cant talk with people like a normal person without sperg about commands or hurr durr I bet you dont work from home like me what a loser.

the whole original point of the discussion was retail and work, anon.
you're clearly very upset that people insulted your stock windows desktop, but there's no need to make a fool of yourself
>>52128008
>>52128022
Then use the windows key modifier. No program at all worth its salt takes it, because it is already reserved on Windows operating systems, OSX does not use it and it is extremely commonly used as a modifier or start menu button in Linux. I seriously doubt you will find a program that will take the win key modifier. Personally I use the win key modifier for hotkeys on my windows partition and I've never encountered an issue. Even if a program were to take the super key, it wouldn't work with or without my keybinds due to the start menu.
As for double click, these are all things that can be done with modifiers. Win + Double click. Win + Right click. Win + Drag. In almost every popular WM these can be defined as separate events and bound.

still no word on the scrot thing I presume?
>>52126560
you're right; the border was for something else entirely. looks much better gone
>>52128276
Theoretically AutoHotkey (which is for Windows only) might be able to do that. I didn't try it, but it should work.
>>52128276
Yes. Working fine on openbox, using mod+doubleclick to toggle maximize windows.
>>52128289
>still no word on the scrot thing I presume?
?
>>52128405
asked about getting scrot (or similar) to work in Mintty (running w7). if not I'll probably just get some third-party program to do it
>>52128429
winkey + print screen
>>52128429
Ah, i don't think it would work because it has to open a full X display. You're best off just using the windows build in screenshot function. >>52128441

Not bad, but colors clash and mismatch. Try changing window side borders to have the same color as bottom and top borders. Also, lack of buttons is not minimalism, it's emptiness.
