Fresh installation, nothing to rate yet. I'd say get a proper screenshot tool instead of scissors. And if you want to rice, you'll have to use Firefox.

Three search bars, really? Let me remind you that the url bar doubles as a search bar.
>>52157862
WTF is this shit?
>>52157935
Not after extreme rice, just removing a bunch of useless stuff (recycle bin, edge and cortana from the taskbar) and adding a wallpaper and xscreensaver.
>>52157935
>Let me remind you that the url bar doubles as a search bar.
I am aware. The URL bar does not provide google autocompletion, nor does it allow saving of previous searches without cluttering up URL history. I used to have it disabled for a longtime.
form > function isn't normally a good idea

>>52157963
Uum, IIRC the first time you try to use url bar on a new Firefox profile it prompts to enable search suggestions. Perhaps you disabled it and forgot that it's there.
>>52157962
All right, then.
>>52157943
It's a screenshot from 2ch's fonts thread, dated 01 Sep 2015. The second shittiest font in there. Pic related is the worst.
>>52158041
seriously though, this is the reason I joined Linux. I like having fun doing stupid shit and customizing my OS till it breaks or looks like a failed abortion.
>>52158044
If I saw this shit on my laptop, I would Ian Murdock my self.
>>52158044
It can be enabled, but still search suggestions don't come up unless there aren't any related URLs there first. Meaning if I want to get auto completion on something rather unspecific, all my browsing history clutters it up.
It's really not a big sacrifice to make, having the searchbar. You're not going to run out of urlbar typing space and the margins look fine IMO
>>52158012
>>52158044
Both Russian. Coincidence?
>>52158079
I don't ever need search suggestions, but that's a good point.

DWM is neat, but I'm having a shitty time figuring out how to get an xsetroot script into my .xsessions file without breaking things.
I really like the suckless philosophy and it's inspired me to contribute to the kernel. Once I stop being a noob.
>>52158980
don't put your xsetroot scripts in xsessions
put them in xinitrc
>>52158980
You're trying to load a specific wallpaper/cursor for dwb, correct?
If not, .xinitrc is probably where you want it.
Yo
>>52159076

I don't have an .xinitrc because I'm using LightDM on Ubuntu. What should I do now?

Oh no idea then, I don't deal with Debian-based distros let alone Ubuntu.
More hassle than it's worth for me.
ArchWiki might have something on LightDM and .xsessions if you haven't already checked that.

What's the best debian-based distribution for ricing?
>>52161281
you get an xserver with all of them, so it doesn't matter. installing OS X will give you access to the breadth of OS X and windows (through wine) ricing alongside the option of cutomizing and xserver (XQuartz). the best of all three worlds.

Turn off the arrows on the icons.

I use Windows 7 and having hidden files enabled does not show me the desktop.ini file unless I view it in the folder. Otherwise it's on the desktop.
>>52161657
I think it's possible to set the background via CSS. The address should look like: file:///c:/image.png or file:///home/image.png or something like that.

Normal/10, find a low contrast or dark wallpaper since you appear to like dark themes. Unify the battery color with your notification area icons or hide it altogether, only giving you a notification when your battery is 25%.
>>52162135
Much better, but imo that wallpaper is ugly
>>52162135
>samefagging
Better since it doesn't stand out so much.
Slightly riced I guess, I removed borders from my xfwm theme and edited the top pixel of the titlebar.
>>52162157
The wallpaper actually matches my theme perfectly. I couldn't change the battery so I just got rid of it. And normal is technically bad in my opinion, but I just don't want to run Linux on this thing. Otherwise I'd be torn between MATE and KDE desktops

I don't know anon, normal is better than the usual situation when it comes to windows after 95/NT/98SE/2000/Vista: completely fucked. Just do little tweaks you think will let you personalize and use the OS better while doing stuff on it.
>>52162194

Not bad. Swap WinRAR for 7-Zip. You're not going to regret it.

shell32.dll
I did the whole takeownership etc
Renamed shell32.dll to shell32.dll.original
Attempted to copy the modified shell32.dll, but it refused to copy.
No idea what was wrong, attempt several more times, etc
No solutions available, turn to command prompt to force it to copy. No dice
Disable UAC, no dice.
Fuck it, restart
Hit button
>Oh wait, I forgot... Without shell, I can't login...
Already hit restart, so now I'm fucked
Try to login, no shell, no desktop (of course)
Reboot with command prompt, try to copy files, no dice
Fuck it, go to Ubuntu MATE for help, copy everything because Linux doesn't need no stinking permissions from Windows, fix everything, finish copying all my theme files, yada yada yada

That must have sucked. Should have checked under the permissions tab if you had full control first, and edit permissions if you couldn't copy. Takeownership as a registry edit doesn't always work properly because, well, windows.
