Share tips on ricing.
Ricing GNU/Linux is not only made by choosing themes and color but what software goes into your computer. "Display Managers" are the login screens, "Window Managers" are the part drawing the borders, colors, etc, and "File Managers" are what handles how you browse your machine. More info:

Let me try this again, here is "Starting x without DM or Login Manager".
You add stuff to ~/.xinitrc that you want to start immediately on boot, things like DEs, WMs, and DMs. ~/.xinitrc is an rc file that gets loaded when you call startx. So if you want startx to load a certain DE/WM you put that in the config. However you can ignore the config and instead use a DM which is like a GUI login screen. However xinitrc isn't called by default. If you add a line in your .bash_profile and you don't have a DM, upon boot, you should be prompted for you username and password. After entering them, xinitrc takes over and starts your DE and/or WM. Putting that line in your bash_profile (*profile) file simply calls startx if it's not already started when you start your login shell. You could ignore that and just type startx after login if you want.
You can make bash_login call xinitrc with[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
In your bash_profile. THEN xinitrc gets called after you log in because of that line.
Put a line at the bottom of ~/.xinitrc that saysexec <whatever>
for example i3 and that launches it. Then in your .bash_profile put[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
Does anyone use Conky and actually make it look aesthetic? All the ones i test out end up looking like a stock windows rainmeter.
>>55111846
Conky is good because you can make it look however the fuck you like. If you don't like the look of it, change it.
>>55111880
Guess i either lack the creative inspiration or am never satisfied with the result.

When I started I just downloaded a whole lot of conky scripts from deviantart and mashed them together. I focused on the design, it got me into it.

Anyone has tips on how to upgrade performance? Just got into Lain and that series inspired the shit out of me. Literally /g/ the anime.
My strategy until now has been using less dependencies, picking a tiling window manager, and will migrate to a source based distro this year.
Pic related, I know is outdated but is what I have.

So I am using Classic 95 icons and wanted to complement it with Xfce-Redmond, how exactly do I do this? I DLd the following
>https://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Xfce-Redmond?content=100112
placed it in both the .themes and the usr/share/themes folders yet I still cannot figure how to apply the theme itself
>>55116581
Look for the "user interface settings" in your application menu.
>>55116581
If you need something always look an application for it.
>>55116712
>>55116649
I cannot find it, I have a Themes option but that does not show the Xfce-Redmond option. here is what i believe is the theme application. I have successfully applied the icons but the Desktop section and others do not have Xfce-Redmond as an option

>>55117207
Oh, now we are getting somewhere.
I don't know what version of Mint you have, but the easiest way is to install xfce for Mint, there you will find a setting manager like this pic >>55116712 and you can install real easy the theme.
What version of Mint are you using?

Working on getting arc-firefox-theme to match my 4chan colors.
I should also make this reply box transparent.
>>55117305
Nice colors, care to share your css?
Sure i guess.
Give me a minute.
>>55117349
Here it is. You'll have to either import it in appchan x or convert the values to CSS manually, I'm extremely new to CSS otherwise i'd do it for you.
I'm not sure how importing goes, i think you'll need to save that as a .JSON

That is a css, to use several at the time I recommend stylish https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/

Install Wayland.
>>55117461
Wrong, X is very dinamic and works as intended. And its updated, don't spread FUD to shill your wayland.

Tripfag, deserved the ban.

>>55117288
I am using 17.3. how do i install xfce to get that setting manager?
>>55117990
What Mint? There is Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, etc.
To install Xfce you go to the software manager and look for it. There are other ways so look here https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1525
Then to use Xfce you log out and log back in and presto.
>>55118411
alright, I have gotten that far, now my only problem is the window theme does not have a redmond option. here is what it looks like. (I am also unsure on how to customize the menu more but that is less important at the moment)

it says you need gnome color chooser to change the color.
Install it by doingsudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser

Not him but yes. It's the Paper theme.
>>55117846
Sweet rice /g/oyim.
Which CLI tools are you using for your music and image viewer?
Also how did you theme your browser like everything else?
[spoiler]Currently installing Debian on a VM, please be gentle.[/spoiler]
>>55123256
That filemanager is ranger (with w3m for image previews), music is ncmpcpp (also cava for visualisation. Im running them together in tmux, that's why they look like one program).
For firefox I used the stylish plugin to apply CSS to the interface.
