For your consideration as supporting desktop of the year.
>>52164978
Nice try but can you be more original?

IN B4 VIRGIN WEEB LOSERS!! :D
Do you guys have any resolutions for 2016?

Pretty good. Although going for minimalism often leads to emptiness. Even worse than clutter.
Weeb loser reporting in
>>52165121
You're wrong though. Emptiness is a positive quality.
>>52165148
i usually hate yellow and orange, but your desktop is strangely comfy
How's mine?
>>52165139
you may be a weeb loser
but that desktop = 10/10 to be quite honest mi familia
slowly building up my rice. need to change the wallpaper so it's not full-on white, thinking of going with my terminal's white color
>>52165178
autistic weeb manchild /10
not that there is anything wrong with that though. It just looks quite disgusting
>>52165199
that ice color would make a 10/10 background color
>>52165178
those desktop icons tho
still a lot of work to be done but I'm starting to like it.
does anyone know of a music player with external and embedded cue sheet support as well as a library manager? currently running foobar via wine but it looks pretty awful.
>>52165311
deadbeef
>>52165311
IIRC Clementine, but its hotkeys are bugged and only work under certain circumstances, not sure which.
>>52165323
it has a library manager plugin but afaik it's simply a file browser, and everything is structured around playlists. I'm looking for a library view similar to ncmpcpp/moc/foobar
>>52165311
i think quod libet has those features, it's generally a really nice player
Should i keep the white terminal or was it better before
>>52165366
i like the white terminal, it's quite neat
>>52165099
I'm most of those things without being a bully...send help.
>>52165397
You are a Bully then
Don't bully yourself
>>52165056
Mine was to get a hair cut, but I did that yesterday. So no.
>>52165434
Did you wind up with Oreki hair?
bosting
>>52165443
Something like that.
>>52165293
where else would I put them?
>>52165608
On a dock dedicated for animu and mango only.
>>52165178
Your desktop is qt / 10
Why do you need both qbittorrent and deluge?
I would rice if I was running some Linux distro.
>>52165720
Poor you, newer versions of Windows are increasingly harder to rice. Although you can try "bug.n".
>>52165720
then run some linux distro
>>52165451
Best desktop in the thread.
Anime is tacky as fuck guys. Get some taste.
>>52165653
if one fails to connect to the torrent
>>52165760
Don't reply to yourself. It's in bad taste.
>>52165775
Lmao poster count went up. Maybe get rid of that shitty anime from your desktop, macfag, and you can join the club of desktops that I, anon, approve of.
>>52165760
Saying it's good because no anime is just as bad as saying its bad because it had no anime.
Also, I want r/unixporn to leave
>>52165527
>Numix
>>52165800
You can pry the anime from my warm, moe hands
>>52165800
>you can join the club of desktops that I, anon, approve of.
Why on Earth would any sane person want to do that?
>>52165817
I was told iTunes isn't trash anymore. Does it at least support hotkeys, I mean, real hotkeys where you'd never have to bring up the user interface until you need to edit your playlists?
>>52165800
So, to escape this fate I'll have to post an anime desktop?
>>52165845
I don't use playlists. The only hotkeys I use are the media keys on my Mac.
>>52165800
Everyone knows that the only approval that means anything is my approval.
Give advice pls
>>52165800
why should anyone give a shit what you approve of
I hope 2016 is full of good anime desu
>>52165845
Why make playlists when you have albums?
>>52165850
Weird. It has the smell of an average OSX\iOS user, pretending that if something doesn't exist he doesn't need it. Or maybe you really don't need it, because OSX has no gaems.
>>52165866
Smaller titlebars
>>52165866
Remove or shrink title bars.
>>52165891
No pretense here. I have pretty simple needs from a music player. I find the album I want, hit play, and let it rock.
I don't know where games come into this, but the only game I play is on GameCube.
>>52165898
>>52165901
Already in my to-do list.
Going to make them around 12px tall.
>5:25am and time for gimp, I guess
>>52165911
What game is it?
>>52165911
Dolphin emulation works pretty good on a Mac if you have an AMD or Nvidia integrated chip.
>>52165896
Just because we like anime doesnt mean we have to give a shit about Japanese culture.
>>52165922
Melee
>>52165924
I use Dolphin on the go but you gotta have a CRT/console for lagless play
>>52165934
who do you main?
>>52165931
who said anything about liking anime? it's littered with kanji and kana everywhere because babbie learned how to use IME and google translate.
>>52165939
Falco
>>52165880
To skip certain tracks, to make playlists from multiple albums of same or different authors, anything. And it won't cost you the ability to play an album; creating a playlist with only a single album takes less than 20 seconds even if you didn't set up a catalog, and if you did, it takes under 5 seconds.
>>52165898
Zero width titlebars because I can!
>>52165911
All right, fair point. Thing is, while playing fullscreen gaems you can only really use hotkeys to manipulate your player, switching out of the game is usually not an option.
murry yiffmas
>>52165947
Do you ever play in tournaments?
>>52165941
He had been studying kanji iirc
Also kanji is very asthetic
>>52165961
of course he has, every fucking idiot who decides to 'learn' japanese starts throwing kanji everywhere after their first week.
why don't those people just kill themselves.
>>52165954
What kind of manipulation do you need? I can skip tracks and pause/play from my keyboard. Anything else seems like it'd be cumbersome without an interface.
>>52165960
I'm going to Genesis 3, which will be my first tourney. I anticipate getting 0-2ed but I'm meeting up with a group of weebs for lots of friendlies and drinking.
I live in SF so I'll probably start going to The Foundry pretty soon.
>>52165967
It's pretty cringey yeah
>>52165896
I can read all of that but ok
>>52165967
>why don't those people just kill themselves.
Because after tattooing BIG SHIT on your shoulder and LITTLE SHIT on your brother's shoulder you'll have a hard time being embarrassed about it and stop giving a fuck.
>>52165967
Why do you care so much?
>>52165976
That sounds cool
I never got to go to any big tourneys like that, just locals and everyone in my area was pretty bad, I was destroying fox mains as doctor mario
>>52165976
>says the guy whose username is written in Japanese
>>52165988
you think someone with zero japanese knowledge is gonna write anything complicated? no, they're going to stick to turning every english term they can into katakana.
>>52165998
because retards like him give anyone even half serious about learning a bad name and are literally the reason why wapanese/weeaboos are disliked by everyone.
>>52165056

Here's to a Retina Display in 2017.
>>52165809
Got rid of numix, anon
>>52166016
no one cares
>>52165976
Lemme see...
Play\Pause\Stop, Next\Prev track, player volume up\down, these are obvious. But note that system volume and player volume are different things.
Then there are a few hotkeys I use myself: next\prev playlist, toggle random track, toggle repeat track, open the UI. These are enough to start any track from any playlist without bringing up the UI, and the UI itself has just enough functions - fast search, normal search, library, list of playlists.
>>52166016
actually no i worded that poorly, weeaboos/wapanese like him give a bad name to normal people as they're associated with people like him.
>>52166034
yeah nobody cares about your BO, pimples and fedora when you're on public transport either lmao
>>52166031
How did you get it on autoban?
>>52166040
Are you that same autist from a few weeks a go? Give it a rest already
>>52166036
I see. There are probably tools that provide AppleScripts for that sort of thing if you really wanted to use iTunes for some reason, but your use case differs a lot from mine.
>>52166042
"Nick-chan" spammed the boards with my name for like a day straight. I never bothered to try and get it unbanned.
>>52165056
To be an even more good lad
>>52166016
I think you just need to calm down
>>52166053
who? i came in after somebody brought this shit up in /hpg/ yesterday. they were absolutely right it is just a weeaboo circlejerk with idiots pretending to know a lick of japanese to impress their fellow weeaboo peers.
>>52166071
go away, you're only embarrassing yourself
>>52166071
nobody is pretending to speak japanese they just use the characters becuase they look nice
>>52166071
can you go back to /hpg/ instead of complaining it'll be much more enjoyable for us and you
>>52166055
How did you manage to piss him off that bad.
That guy was pretty much literally autistic
>>52166083
Same thing I do to all the bad posters: tell them they're bad posters
>>52166079
>they just use the characters becuase they look nice
that might apply to vaporwave artists and shit who do it for the aesthetic but everybody knows the people in here just do it because they're pathetic weeaboos who watch anime and wish they were jap.
>>52166097
ayyyy aesthetic.
>>52166109
did i hit the nail on the head? sorry to offend you there, manchild.
>>52166097
"it's pathetic not aestheitc" you're the guy who said that last time right? don't lie
everyone ignore him, he'll get bored and go back to posting charts n graphs
>>52166055
Hotkeys and mouse gestures are amazing. Hard to get used to them, but once you do, it's even harder to get used to the lack of them.
I always wondered, why and how people even use OSX? Everything is nailed down, if you don't like the way it works, all you can do is switch to another OS. Perhaps I'm biased because in 2011 it was impossible to turn off cursor acceleration which is absolutely ridiculous, but it can't be that bad.
>>52166116
what.
>>52166122
>"guys ignore him he's not circlejerking with us in our containment thread!"
>>52166097
I don't want to be Japanese and I don't want to live in Japan either.
I'm pretty glad I'm white

>>52166153
Yea, so what?
I'm a pervert.
>>52166165
haha epic kawaii desu ur so ecchi!!! xddd
smfh you don't even have a leg to stand on.
>>52166179
>Attempting to argue something just because of a tripcode
You don't have one either
>>52166193
having a tripcode is a bad thing. being a namefag is even worse though, kill yourself.

>>52166202
But then how am I going to get my shitposting quota in?
>>52166148
That it? Still using touchpads instead of proper input devices, all for the gestures? Bah, not interested. I actually tried it, it works not nearly as well as good old keyboard shortcuts. Which, I may note, are lacking in OSX
>>52166149
All right, then. My Mac Mini was an awful experience back in 2011\2012.
> Stupid cursor acceleration constantly messed my cursor position, it took me 2 to 5 times as much time to aim on anything, and there was no option to turn it off
> The inbuilt disk drive broke
> The silly excuse of a BIOS didn't even know how to boot from an external drive, or a USB pendrive
Fucking unusable bullshit.
>>52166256
Never had any problems with mouse acceleration.
Macs can boot fine from external storage, and that's not a new feature. Disc drives are deprecated. I haven't had one since like 2008.
>>52166097
Can't we all just get along?
>>52165031
>Those AESTHETICS
10/10
>>52166288
Well, the Mac Mini I had back then wasn't capable of booting from external storage. The only option was the disk drive, which was broken. Just... why? If it was a fully functional PC with a real BIOS instead of jailed Apple castrate it would not be a problem, but no, this stupid device was jailed beyond all logic and reason.

This anon is correct.
Using jQuery I update the background position to the window position. This is it, with a smaller interval to make it look less hacky; otherwise I keep it rather high, since I rarely drag my windows around and I just need it to resize when I move the tile.

>>52166864
Where did you see your old friends?
>>52166862
You only need the first episode or two of Index to understand Railgun. I actually watched Railgun first and didn't have much issue. When I did try to watch Index I dropped it out of boredom 12 episodes in.

Sure.$(document).ready(function(){
// Settings
var interval = 100;
var borderOffset = 2;
// Store variables of the last window position.
var wLeft = window.screenX;
var wTop = window.screenY;
// Check if window has been moved.
setInterval(function(){
if (wLeft != window.screenX || wTop != window.screenY)
{
wLeft = window.screenX;
wTop = window.screenY;
$(window).trigger("move");
}
}, interval);
// Hook to window events.
$(window).resize(function(){UpdateWindow();});
$(window).load(function(){UpdateWindow();});
$(window).bind("move", function(){UpdateWindow();});
// Modify the position of the background.
function UpdateWindow() {
$("#background").css("background-position", -(wLeft + borderOffset - 1) + "px " + -(wTop + borderOffset + 58) + "px");
}
});
Background is a div, this is the CSS of background:#background {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
/* If we use blur, we can choose a very optimized background. */
background: url('http://localhost/start/assets/img/blendy-opt.jpg');

Forgot to mention, you should also change the magic number (58) in the UpdateWindow function, it's the height of the entire tab+navbar, play with it til it fits your background, helps to turn off blur for matching.

>>52167105
Use a VM for testing.
>>52167105
Make a backup of your current system, then make a backup of your linux install right after installation and an update, then you can mess around as much as you want without having to worry about not being able to revert.
>>52167120
yep. Will do. those crazy VM's that I know what they are.
But seriously I assume that's a virtual drive or something?
post 10/10 desktops
>>52167105
Partition SSD, HDD, or get a new storage drive.
Install Linux or Windows 10 on it.
Start ricing. If it goes to shit, no loss, it doesn't affect your main OS.
>>52167139
Virtual machine. Run Windows in a virtual machine.
>>52167148

Why were you reinstalling systems every other week?

Would get uncomfortable where I was. Linux one week because this time I swore I would actually buckle down, and commit to programming and studying more. Then the next week find myself back on windows to play league of legends. Not doing it anymore.

why didn't you just dual boot, silly? Only schmucks buckle down to one OS
r8 h8 and penetr8

I didn't want the option to go back. Thought sitting for an hour reinstalling everything would ever be a large enough hassle to make me stay. Needless to say after how many times that has failed, I got pretty damn efficient as installing windows..

How do I get rid of the title bars? I'd like them to appear on hover.

taskbar icons should be jojo themed
move recycle bin to start menu or taskbar

I've never heard of muffin WM so I don't know
it might be possible to configure that way though
go read the man file and check out the config files
