still looking for a foobar skin..
>>1736036
Everything looks good. Can you share the foobar skin btw?
Can't wait to go home and eat some homemade meals again.
>>1735964
Looks nice, reminds me of Hal's desktops.
>>1735968
RIP my Asian girl and K-pop wallpaper folder.
>>1735970
I always like Yosemite desktops. It just looks so nice. I might dual boot it or something.
>>1736055
I have a foobar skin I like using, I just have to edit it some more to make it perfect. For now I am settling on slim_foo because it works well and doesn't look terrible.
poop
>>1735968
Nice anime.
>>1736073 eh, wallpaper has a nice art style, kinda uninspired
>>1736055 v clean nice to look at, not really breaking any new ground here tho. wallpaper seems interesting!!!
>>1736036 people say windows ricing is hacky but i found linux to feel much more hacky and less complete than a hacked up windows system. whenever i used linux it feels like a cheap knockoff tbh.
>>1736022 how can you not get bored of the same monochrome theme???
>>1735995 your tabs are ugly fix em
>>1735984 your default folders are ugly fix em
>>1735983 the white theme you did a while ago was better, at least you aren't using skintones for background anymore though
>>1735975 so boring!!! use some pictures or something its like I'm looking at something someone made in photoshop in 25 minutes
>>1735974 am i being hacked??
>>1735968 cool/neat

There, I opened a picture just for you.
>>1736244

>>1736262
looks like a Melbourne edit to me
sup /w/
>>1736006
whats with the huge taskbar
>>1735964
dark blue in taskbar and screenfetch is too dark for my tastes. otherwise ok.
>>1735968
looks nice.
>>1735970
lack of mouth is disturbing
>>1735974
too dark and too minimal for my tastes
>>1735975
minimal i like.
>>1735981
if you want to use black windows classic look for pastel&extreme. tho windows classic in black got way too many problems to be actually usable, i tried some time ago and gave up.
>>1735983
very nice.
>>1735984
looks ok, but idk if i like it or not.
>>1735995
too white
if you want to tile with gaps you can grab some script.
>>1736006
ok, not much rice shown tho
>>1736022
not a fan of colors, way too dark for me. i like your browser tho.
>>1736036
looks ok. what's with this arch icon left to /wg/?
>>1736047
good luck. if you arent happy with it not gonna rate either.
>>1736055
nothing innovative, but not bad looking either. browser is nice. not really a fan of bblean and fully black desktops.
>>1736073
qt wallpaper. good looking player.
continuing from >>1736308
also, my laptop.
>>1736189
witam [cool]
havent managed to get it working on xfce either, as it draws on root window.
>>1736190
black but i like it. maybe a little bit too black.
>>1736228
looks ok.
>>1736257
nice.
>>1736305
ok, except icons. titlebars in this vs seems to be kind of not aligned properly.
>>1736308
>what's with this arch icon left to /wg/?
I have 2 pinned tabs, 1 of which was the Arch wiki ('Cause Antergos).
>>1735968
where did you get those walls from?
>>1736179
Rice your shit first before you talking shit about mine.
April and the phantom, they were just like lovers
i made a lazy fork of noha's tinycss that adds color and shit, really just made it for preference but some other people might like it i guess

Just started messing around with themes today, i think I did a good job : ^ )

you might have to mess around with the margins or something
>>1736374
Thanks mate
>>1736348
which one are you lol
>>1736335
idk just make it look good for yourself and take criticism with a grain of salt, if you're happy that is all that matters!
>>1736430
that shit is more generic than those you hated on
I made a gif but it ended up being too big.
But you can see it here:

How so?
>>1736465
looks like 99% of bblean desktops
>>1736473

this again
>>1736430
Sorry, what's the font you're using in your browser? Looks really good.
>>1736430

>>1736353
Make your font bold again.
This is my desktop
>>1735968
Wallpaper source, please.
>>1736179
>eh, wallpaper has a nice art style, kinda uninspired
Yeah my win8.1 desktops are pretty default looking and I haven't really bothered with any visual style editing. I haven't seen any new desktops that really have a "wow" factor, or I've just been on /w/ for so long that I have desensitized myself to good rice. idk.
>>1736308
>qt wallpaper. good looking player.
thanks even though I didn't make either of them.
>>1736527
i really like it.
wallpaper pls
>>1736528
here you go-- please take care of it and try not to ruin it.
>>1736527
Hmm...it looks familiar. Did you try to make a "brown" theme sometime during the summer?
As for your desktop. Are you running linux? Because I've never seen workspaces like that in bblean before.
>10/10, really comfy.
As far as 8.1 goes, you could try using Aero Glass either manually use API hooks to apply Aero Glass to the taskbar or use a program that does that anyways like Classic Shell.
It's too bad that there isn't an 8.1/8.1.1 version of Style Builder floating around the internet like there is for 7 (Apart from purchasing it).
>>1736532
>Are you running linux? Because I've never seen workspaces like that in bblean before.
>literally op has it
>>1736533
Watch those edges anon, I only happened to notice it on 1 of the 2 scrots that happened to have it in this thread.
>>1736534
It's rainmeter, you can find instructions on nanami-tan.info, go to the "Workspaces" section.
>>1736532
Yeah I made a brown one, but I lost that screen and many others after my hard drive crashed.
>>1736533
Nah it's not linux, as you've found out. The only linux I've ever run was elementary OS.
>>1736543
Awww, that's too bad. I really liked that desktop. So are all of your visual styles custom then?
>>1736547
I wouldn't say all, but most are. I usually just make small changes. For instance, in the brown and purple desktops, I used Prime VS as a base and just made the borders so that they'd be consistent on all windows, but in some of my more recent ones I've used unedited Bello VS. I really like transparency because how versatile it is, so I try to fix borders and buttons to my liking.
>>1736487
NO
Happy birthday Asuka!

fuckit. maybe ill look through some shit to update nanami this weekend its been a while.
any idea on how to get rid of the icons on the window list of the panel? or any alternatives? currently using mate.
>>1736538
Fix that firefox font. I don't want to sound rude but It's fucking disgusting.
>>1736585
Can I have that wallpaper, please?
>>1736595
Of course.

Thanks a bunch, mate.

HAVE AT IT COWBOY
Is windows 8 customizable as windows 7, or I'll need to stay with 7 forever?
>>1736668
i wonder about that. i'm trying it out right now. i think you can probably get something working.
(but i miss my startscreen clusterfuck already.)
first bblean here, how do i actually integrate rainmeter into bblean? am i even supposed to?
also can someone give me a good bbleanbar, for reference? tips in general would be appreciated.
>>1736666
Thanks, man. Inaba a qt3.14.
>>1736671
How did you feel about switching to bblean? Easy? Difficult?
Also, I wouldn't recommend using rainmeter ever, but that's a personal choice I guess.
hello
>>1736676
it wasn't hard. i just put it off for a long time because i heared that there would be problems with 8.1. but so far it's been going well.
>>1736668
im on w8.1 right now and have no complaints. There are plenty of VSes for it, and it's pretty easy to tweak shellstyle to further customize them. Check out neiio's work on dA. He has a lot of solid gets.
>>1736671
You can use rainmeter with bblean; or, at least used to be able to - I haven't seen a bblean + rainmeter setup for a long while. I don't recommend using rainmeter for interactive widgets, but there are some neat applications using rainmeter's transparent panels and bblean static overlays. Unless my memory deceives me, though, widgets don't stick around if you switch your workplace.
>>1736637
It looks pretty shit
>>1736659
Try ricing it first
>>1736671
You 'intergrate' rainmeter by using it. Times where it looks like rainmeter is in the bbleanbar it's just positioned next to it and the bar is shortened. Also, ignore people like >>1736676 who still think that rainmeter can never be useful as they are wrong.
I feel like i missed something important
i can't find any wallpaper that fits this
my first monitor is just firefox maximized
>>1735968
Nice file manager, I like it.
>>1735984
Hey, how are you?
>>1736179
>people say windows ricing is hacky but i found linux to feel much more hacky and less complete than a hacked up windows system. whenever i used linux it feels like a cheap knockoff tbh.
Very true. Linux feels empty and incomplete. Nice desktop too.
>>1736190
Hey, Phait!
>>1736430
Funny how this called generic, yet everybody and their grandma are using the configs from this scrot. Heh.
>>1736459
Cool gif.
>>1736527
I remember this one, looks nice!
>>1736561
How many layers do your wallpapers usually have? They look like a bunch of work and you switch them so frequently. What do you do with the ones you don't use anymore?
>>1736580
How do you remove the scrollbar from Hexchat? I've tried several editing the GTK theme to no avail and I've looked in the preferences and found nothing.
>>1736617
Simple and nice. Would use/10.
>>1736720
Dat bitmap font tho.
>>1736727
>How many layers do your wallpapers usually have?
My current one has 12 layers (that includes adjustment layers).
My first couple of wallpapers I made had very little layers. After a while I started using more and more layers, but nowadays I try not to use too many. It kind of depends what kind of wallpaper is in my mind.
> They look like a bunch of work and you switch them so frequently.
They are fun to make, so if I find good art for a wall, I'll try to make one for it.
>What do you do with the ones you don't use anymore?
Once I got a bunch of them, I put them in a zip and upload it on my DA. Sometimes I also go back to older walls if I feel like it or make changes to them.
By the way, your wallpaper has banding.
>>1736742
What's your dA URL?
>By the way, your wallpaper has banding.
I know, I'm too lazy to fix it though.

Here's my desktop theme. I was thinking of using cute ribbon details and gem icons to match my wallpaper.
I am open to comments and suggestions for my desktop.
Went back to a vector I used a long time ago. Still trying to find some nice colours for it.
>>1736727
Trying unsuccessfully to understand statistics before my final, you?
updated rice
Fucked up my VS
>>1736727
Hello, nice fonts. Yes, you do remove scrollbars within the gtk theme itself. I am not fluent in C by any means, but I picked out the parts I think you should look for:
http://pastebin.com/hag29nRJ
>>1736793
nice grooves, anon
>>1736789
Couldn't come up with nice colours, so here is what I changed to instead. Not trying to spam though, so no more new pics from me.
I've come a long way, and this is the final version.
Hopefully.
>>1736859
In my honest opinion, it sucks. You can do a better job on that bbLeanBar. Get a better font rendering. Drop the captions or just forget transparency. Browser UI elements are too big. The colors don't really match, and the lack of a constant post width on 4chan annoys the hell outta me.
If it's your first time ricing, at least you got this far, but remember there will always be room for improving.
First attempt in a quite a while.
It's better than the shit I had before.
Most of you guys have pretty awesome desktops I have to say.
I myself wouldn't want to spent that much time on my own, since even my current one has taken more time than I would have liked.
Really, by this point you'd think there was easier methods in goin about it. :/
is it just me or did bitmap fonts break in the latest arch update
i can't use any artwiz fonts but terminus works fine
Still didn´t find a Icon pack I liked so ill stay with the default ones.
>Using Windows Media Player
VLC can´t open the DVD so ... ill stick with the Media Player.
>>1736970
Or you can use MPC... just sayin
>>1736970
>download another program just to watch a DVD
Nah just wanted to watch that movie real fast.
>>1736459
Hey is there a chance that i could see your code for the homepage?
>>1736970
What film is that?
You should download MPC if you ever plan on watching another movie, anime, etc.
>>1736979
Well he could, but from experience you end up having all three VLC, MP and MPC because you always find something that doesn't play on a specific one.
Currently I have all three for a reason, but I can't remember anymore what that reason was.
>>1737017
It´s "Der Untergang" which is .. "The Downfall" on english I think.
What are the pros of MPC?
>>1735981
Zabi sa kokot retardovany
Robis len hambu
>>1737020
Super lightweight so it loads fast. Supports loads of file types. Getting good codec packs (CCCP, KCP) can improve video quality. I'm pretty sure it's 'free as in free beer' software.
Mainly it's the load times that do it for me, VLC takes about 3 decades to boot up whereas MPC is open before I've thought about it.
>>1736179
I don't know if rice is ready for those resolutions
>>1736371
Fuck yeah, Rebirth
>>1736527
Nice colors.
>>1736789
I like the colours; mind sharing that wallpaper you made with the vector?
wip. fairly new to ricing. working on a homepage and eventually a media player.
>>1737048
Sure, to large for 4chan
https://www.mediafire.com/?vpcnio64q1dm7rq
>>1736890
Yeah, that was my first time ricing.
Second time is the charm? I still have a homepage to get up, but I installed some more simplistic shit, and made the color scheme (hopefully) match more.
Shit on if you can.
This is my desktop before I start ricing it.
Yeah
>>1737116
version .3
Thanks for criticizing my shitty rices, how do I into getting rid of that 4chanX navigation bar up top?
>>1737208
Much better, but the colours are still inconsistent, and hide the tray icons. I would use appchanx instead of 4chanx. Also really nice wall, I would stick with it.
Anyone know where I can get anime themed windows 8 start icons for shit like steam and chrome?
my system icons got all messed up but whatever
>>1736747
ayy i'm using your aimp3 skin
i'm loving it.
>>1737225
What the hell is up with the giant font?
>>1737230
eye-sight, if the font is too small it gets painful to read after awhile
>>1737231
But that's like a 20+ pixel font.
>>1737220
Why not use appchanx?
>>1737232
i'm actually just zoomed in so i can see, the font is normal
I am pretty new to all this so yeah shit all over me if you want. Still got a lot of work to do but gonna leave it at this for tonight.
>>1737238
Might be better off using ccd0+oneechan actually.
>>1737011
I've actually scrapped it and made pic related.
Do you wanna see the html or css? I can upload it if you want. I cant remember where i got the template from.
>>1737011
Here: https://github.com/decagonal/misc-files/tree/master/startpage
Eh, guess I should have added some syntax palettes and window borders. Wanted to do something winter related but lacked the right vector/wall and maybe the proper inspiration
first attempt at this
please rate and give suggestions
>>1737419
Things look neat. I like your wallpaper. Oh and you can change the Window title for F2k to make it show only the song playing and omit the "NOW PLAYING" text
My google-fu is not strong. How do I add a css to firefox as a whole?
>>1737484
Stylish.

>>1737205
Update. Thoughts?
sup /w/ finally finished installing gentoo and setting it up. pls no bully
>>1737567
Always nice to see other people using gentoo, though I still prefer funtoo.
Still need a lot of work, but that wall can make for a very nice colour scheme. Just needs more work.
>>1737559
Simple, clean and not overdone. Great choice on the background color. The only thing I don't like is how gray the clock is. It doesn't match the white icons very well at all, plus the desktop looks kind of empty. Still, would personally give it a high rating even though it is such a basic set-up.
howdy
does anyone know what the fuck is up with the captcha right now?
or is that my adblock fucking something
>>1737606
Yukkuri Spurdo/10 would do again.
>>1735964
Is the new reCAPTCHA not working on any of the fucking userstyles for 4chan? Shit is crazy.
Any font reccomendations?
I just reinstalled my Arch after having my hard drive die on me, and I've lost all my fonts.
>>1737590
link to wallpaper?
Rather new to this.
Thoughts?
>>1737705
Wow, very nice. I would contemplate adding some kind of border, but that might ruin the aesthetic. Your bblean setup could use work though. It looks like just default bbcrim.
>>1737707
That's because it is just default bbcrim mostly ;w;
In terms of changing and improving on it, I'm fairly stumped. The way it is now looks quite nice enough to me to warrant simply leaving it as is; at least for a while until I learn how to fiddle with my bblean a bit more.
>>1736478
what gui are you using?
Does this works on Windows 8.1,sorry i'm quite new here
>>1737568
What else should I do? Aside from changing up conky and ricing weechat, I don't know what else needs work on.
>>1736022
Updated, added borders and changed the powerline Rainmeter a little.
>>1737606
Best ITT.
>>1737705
Your bblean font looks pretty bad, other than that it's really nice.
>>1737682
I really like Segoe UI for a sans font.
>>1737713
Windows, explorer gives it away.
>>1737730
Does what work?
>>1737737
Work on your colors.
On windows 8.1.
foobar was being a pain and I have no idea what I'm doing editing the panels and splitters. firefox is a pain as well the title bar is flickering, someone help me out? criticize as well.
>>1737682
I love ubuntu, might want to give that at try.
>>1737737
>>1737567
Make your colours match a consistent theme, the gap on the tab bar looks weird, conky is trash, fix whatever error is coming up in screenfetch, and rice more things.
>>1737750
Nice, but same criticism I had before.
>>1737757
Disgusting contrast, but I still kind of like it.
Something I'm happy with for now.
>>1737705
was gonna comment on this one last night but didn't feel like fixing my userscript for new captcha
I REALLY like this red. You managed to find that perfect h/s/l, non-cornea searing shade that is both extremely pleasing to look at and a lovely mixer for the other elements of your style. As the others have said, bblean needs a bit of sprucing but absolutely phenomenal otherwise.
My hard drive is crapping out and it's time for a fresh install. Contemplating moving up to Windows 8.1, does a workspace/twm environment play well with the new environment? I personally used windawesome on w7 but it's pretty buggy.
How can I change the font color of the non-selected tab please? This is the only thing that really bugs me with this style. I am really bad with Vista Style Builder. Any help please?
>>1737786
Yeah I've been trying to get rid of that gap next to the tabs but I don't know how to remove it. It seems I can change the color with .tabbrowser-tabs but changing the margin, border, and padding does nothing.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a good minimal visual style? I lost my hard drive and I don't remember my old ones name.
>>1737837
What os?
Can someone help me out?
How can I display the system tray icons in the bar?
When I was editing the .rc earlier I think I removed it.
Also, is there a way to have the bblean skin title bar transparent?
>>1737840
windows
Windows 7, or 8-8.1?
I use 8.1.
And thanks for the code.
Sorry I'm a new to bblean so I'm still figuring things out.
>>1737208
I cannot into 4chan extensions because my captchas aren't working for some odd reason. Shit sucks.
Did I finally into fixing the color scheme?
>using osx
>try to use windows 8.1
Foobar skins are disgusting and bugged as fuck on on windows 8/8.1
>>1737857
Looks nice, but imo the taskbar color looks gross, and it looks bland.
>>1737859
Actually I found some pretty nice ones that work with windows 8.1, at-least they don't seem bugged to me.
The only reason I'm on windows 8 and not back on linux is because the programs I use.
It also feels more at home to me.
>>1737857
Could I get that wall?
>>1737864
Here you go m80
>>1737869
Thank you!
barely switched from mac to pc recently, not sure where to go from here.
>>1737705
How did you get your steam looking like that?
Really curious as it looks great.
>>1737885
Is that suppose to be Nozomu?
Pretty nice, but dark
