Nice desktop, OP!
>>52467644
why is your desktop an anime hooker?
>>52467644
>>52467776
Maki is such a fucking slut.
>>52467776
>>52467782
I'm going to ruin your day with blunt instruments, fuckers. Face me.
>>52467773
nice 5K screen
>>52467792
Hey just because Maki sells sex for money on the sidewalks doesn't make her a slut.
>>52467792
GO and play the tuba then fag. It's still better than Maki's slutty ass on my dick.
>>52467723
what does it look like to you?

Here's the 1024*768 version I use on my Amiga. Don't know where I have the original. Use reverse image search or something.

what WM do you use?
>>52467644
Serious question: why do people still use Amigas?
>>52468519
Autism, but you knew this before asking, didn't you?
>>52468635
Well yeah, but isn't there here usually some kind of reason/justification for it in their heads?
>>52468453
Just plain Intuition as it comes with AmigaOS 3.1. The textured window borders are provided with Birdie.
>>52468519
I wouldn't use an amiga as my primary computer. I gotta be able to do certain shit that just won't work so well (if at all) on a 24 year old box. It's certainly fun to play around with, though, so I guess that's my justification.
switched to windows 10 today from arch enjoy it so far but i have realized that i cannot live without linux so i am gonna dualboot
>>52468753

I have a Cybervision 64 graphics card.
http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/cybervision64
Also an Arxon scandoubler, which is routed through the cybervision so that I can still run native graphics software without the need of a second monitor or manual switch.

IIRC Workbench prior to 3.5 only supports a palette of like 4 or 8 colors, and a little more with stuff like MagicWB.
Or was that really caused by some hardware limit?
I always thought it was a software limit.
![enforcer[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/GqnV3lC.png "enforcer[1].png")
>>52470597
Depends on the video modes and the chipset.
AGA chipset (as used in A1200/4000/CD32) could have up to 256 colours on the workbench. It's just generally not worth it as it eats up a lot of precious chipmem and destroys performance, although there's hacks like fblit/ftext that can improve this.
The Cybervision (and other RTG cards) bypass this limit by having their own graphics chip (CV64 has an S3 of some kind, iirc). They're not compatible with anything that bangs the chipset directly, but some cards (like the Cybervision64 and Picasso IV) have a passthrough input, so you can loop the normal video output into the RTG card and have it automatically switch when it detects the system trying to use a native mode.
Of course then you get the fuckery of whether or not your display supports the 50Hz vsync / 15kHz hsync the native chipsets spit out.

>AGA chipset (as used in A1200/4000/CD32) could have up to 256 colours on the workbench.
I don't mean the display mode.
I'm talking about the palette Workbench itself uses, i.e. amount of colors in window decoration, backdrop, icons, etc..
>>52470492
this shit is incredible, please share startpage + assets
>>52470736
Yeah, true. I think you can only manually adjust the palette up to a certain point with the built in tools. There might be ones that allow you to adjust beyond that, but it usually can allocate things on it's own just fine I've found. Might be that BetterWB (which is a relatively light set of updates/additions to OS3.1) adds some things for this.
I do also have NewIcons which uses it's own palette separate from what workbench uses. That improves things as well.
>>52470738
I actually took a free domain to host it, replace the dot because 4chans thinks it's spam.
molecularu dot hol dot es
There will come a time when I will share the whole assets, put them on github or something, but I don't think they're good enough for the moment. Their size is quite big, too, because I host around a thousand pepe photos in the 'fun' section.
If you have any questions ask away.
Good morning, Desktop Thread
>>52470712
it does look similar doesn't it

Are we actually posting desktops this time

>>52470876

>>52470815
It's also needed to mention that it's a work in progress, so as a result I do not guarantee that it will render the same on all systems.
I've tried my best, though, by making it responsive.
>>52470858
your desktop is cool
what happens if you put my wallpaper into that script?
its only one colour right, so maybe something weird happens
>>52470909
>its only one colour right
No it isn't.
>>52470920
still want to know what happens

it tried really hard
>>52467644 cool and interesting
>>52467757 should show more than just terminals
>>52467773 one of the worst wallpapers ever, an annoying terminal colourscheme and 4chan css bordering on asinine.
>>52468552 clean and nice

>>52470394 boring
>>52470449 I saw those icons, very lame!
>>52470452 pretty alright , maybe even good
>>52470492 cool what you did here, some nice ideas
>>52470838 bad
>>52470858 cool script that makes good colours
>>52470869 hmm, everything is put together just fine. I don't know what I would say if I was seeing the desktop for the first time.
>>52470881 no face on anime
>>52470887 orange Julius
>>52470934 its blue
>>52470959 someone should make something focused more around that style, I forget what its called but some western cartoons and the incredible to an extend used it.
>>52470980 not a fan of the wallpaper, but maybe its a style.
>>52471101 nice colours and everything
>>52471215
ha! proving once and for all that humans will never be replaced by machines in the field of making colour schemes.
I guess I'm a bit late to the rating party.
>>52471263
your music player is always the thing that looks bad and wrong, and your other wallpaper was better
>>52471239
you would say 'Nice Desktop, Anon! <3'
>>52471270
I know, I know. Every music player is either ugly or doesn't offer enough hotkey functionality, so I'm stuck with AIMP4. Probably shouldn't show it on my screenshots though, I almost never actually look at it.
>>52471273
maybe, if you're lucky

>>>52470881(You) no face on anime
You're not wrong. Here's my laptop.
>>52471418
"Its an architecture/graphic style often called Eames-era after the Eames brothers (Charles and Ray), but also relates to Euro Saarinen and the Mobilist Alexander Calder (and maybe the forms of Miro). It was very "space age", (The Jetsons) with modern boomerang and globular forms, and is now considered retro hip. A lot of artists brought it back into vogue in the 90s, and even the music of the era underwent a resurgence... like Esquivel (called space age lounge pop). The artist I most associate it with of recent is Ryan Hughes... http://67.59.169.170/cgi-bin/device2.cgi?action=ill ... but that may be just because I don't know who actually brought that style back into vogue before him. Also House Industries, the design and typography firm did a lot with that style including their House-a-Rama Eames era bowling alley font set (w/illustrations). http://www.houseind.com/ (Hughes also designed fonts in that retro style) Again, there's probably others who were the originators of the re-tooling of the style... but I just don't know about them."
"
I think part of the reason it came back was because of the advent of vector drawing programs. They made it easy and fun for desktop graphic designers to work in the style.
But the guys who did The Incredibles really took the Ryan Hughes type Jetsons art style to a new level.... or a new dimension, I should say... from 2d to 3d... which is why I don't think you will find much more art like the Incredibles out there. "
there you go

There's a very large learning curve with these distros, so I'd recommend something you can't fuck up unless you're retarded or something, try out Ubuntu or Debian

Honestly, aside of neckbeard tipping 1337 hackers professional opinion, unity is a very good, reliable, desktop environment that is also using your monitors vertical space most efficiently compared to any other desktop environment of this type. It lacks customization, on the other hand - does it even need customization other than changing gtk theme and a wallpaper?
