Just the score I was looking for
>>6581158
ur a 0/10 moron
Any idea why my i3 bar reads 52% as full? Also r8/10
>>6581208

a lot of these desktops look very nice but impractical.
>>6581229
that's because you don't know how they work
>>6581229
if you used your keyboard for more than writing silly posts you would think otherwise.
Current. What's next step for Win 10 rice, senpai?

>>6581229
I used to think so too until I started getting deeper into ricing. What you don't see behind all the super minimal desktops is the amount of customization and true ricing that went into them. They have keybinds and scripts and managers galore, I would wager that most don't even use their mouse most of the time anymore because of how efficiently they've set up their workspaces.
Good morning
So this is mine, I like it and I don't lose utility. What do you think? Btw, I tried to make the taskbar transparent, but it didn't work out.
>>6581480
With music playing.
>>6581480
all you did was add a bad now playing skin in the middle of your screen
>>6581482
AND a visualizer, lol
>>6581486
Recommendations? Or you can only say negative things?
>>6581493
i can only say negative but true things
>>6581495
Ok, I know it's not perfection, but that's why I'm asking for recommendations.
>>6581482
To make a constructive critique, try to something more complete, this only player (Monster Visualizer spotted) is cool but complete it with others things.
>>6581480
Read the pastebin and try again, it's default af apart from the boring Rainmeter, use small icons for the taskbar and show more windows.
Here's mine, the launcher only shows up if I put my cursor on left edge.
>>6581503
It takes a lot of time, I'm currently looking to change my theme, but I'm not super sure to do it.
>>6581506
And how can I learn to do those things? Like edit the CSS of 4chan and make a custom homescreen?
>>6581509
theme windows?
>>6581505

hi
>>6581501
Is this real

It's just really good for windows

Sorry, I thought you didn't like it
Thanks a lot anon
>>6581501
a new font will be better

>>6581345
What text editor is that? Looks like a heavily modded sublime text but I wasn't sure you could customise that much
Did some changes since the last thread. Feedback is much appreciated.
>>6581703
ta bort taskbaren helt eller gör den smalare, den ser för jävlig ut atm
>>6581505
I use Litestep
>>6581693
it looks like its micro
>>6581167
because you have used your battery so much that it has degraded and now can reach only 52% of its original capacity.There is a way to alter this in the documentation
>>6581761
Thanks
>>6581770
Did you intend for your 4chan CSS to look like Tumblr?
>>6581771
of course, I'm working on the watcher to make it look like the reccomended blogs side box now
>>6581777
Nice, it looks great so far. I dig it.
>>6581778
thanks
lol
>>6581750
What text editor are you using there? Looks neat, I like it.
>>6581510
A lot of people use 4chanX and Oneechan in place of just 4chan CSS (Which I would recommend 10/10 times, especially if you're new to this). It's much easier to get into and use (Plus 4chanX adds a ton of utility to 4chan), not like CSS is very hard though.
I personally use a combination of 4chanX+Oneechan and CSS.
You can find a lot of this on nanami-tan so go check it out.
>>6581618
Any suggestions as font? It need to feature accents and numbers
>>6581852
Inconsolata, terminus, noto, awesome, deja vu
>>6581838
How do you remove the icons in the taskbar? I've always wanted to do that in windows.
>>6581148
how many times do you change wallpaper ? Most of the time, when I found a good pic, I use it like 2/3 weeks then change for an other one
>>6581267
do you really need the rainmeter widget at the right ? Anyways, most of the time you'll try to have a file manager or browser that would fit your setup, you'll also want to edit a visual style, writing some CSS for you favorite sites, etc...
>>6581345
like this dark shot, +1 for maki
>>6581388
damn, the blue is killing me nigga
>>6581501
too much visualizer for me, only one should do the work rite ? Maybe reduce the size of the music widget, and (it's just my opinion)instead of using the sidebar you could use the taskbar with the icons
>>6581568
stock, but cool wallpaper
>>6581703
oh, I see you used my firefox CSS, mis that because of it that tere is a big space between the space and taskbar ? In any case you should modify it !
Always found rainmeter meh-tir (especially what you have at the right) but the clock(?) at the cener is kinda cool
>>6581750
wat u readin
(nice setup as always)
>>6581777
don't sexualize the miko !
>>6581838
like the colors, overall a clean setup
fix your startbutton tho, plus not a fan of the clock and music(?) font
>>6581935
cyan & retoree are qt's
Thoughts?
>>6581935
what ff css is that? is pretty popular these days

Moko, how do I use your foobar skin? I've downloaded <1> and <2> off your site but I simply cannot set it up to look anywhere near like yours
>>6581983
why would you use a dock when you have a taskbar
long live compiz
>>6581935
thanks for the feedback, looks better. Just scrapped the clock and music and got a better start orb. Also nice desktop.
>>6581693
it's not micro, its vim. tmux is controlling the windows down there
>>6581234

>>6581346
I already know this. What I meant was, is how they are mainly for looks. When a ricer customizes the desktop, they are only showing what looks consistent with the design of the desktop. I want to see these functioning. Not all programs (that are quite essential) can have a unified design
>>6582167
How can you tell functionality from an image? lol ur an idiot
>>6582167
>Not all programs (that are quite essential) can have a unified design
Yes they can? Have you not heard of a Visual Style?
The point of ricing is for your computer to be not only aesthetically pleasing and have a unified design among everything you use but to increase functionality and make it easier than the average user who doesn't rice.
what font >>6581935 are you using in Nyaa?
>>6581346
Not everyone goes keyboard crazy. My setup's basically completely mouse-driven. It just seems ridiculous trying to organize a ton of windows on a big ol screen with a keyboard. Either you have to fight the WM to get things your way, or you settle for some automatically tiled crap. That just seems retarded. Dragging windows around and resizing them to put them exactly where you want makes more sense IMO. One hand on the keyboard, one on the mouse. That's what I've gotten used to with Blender and it works pretty well here, too.
>>6582204
Have you messed around with AHK for keyboard hotkeys? They're fairly easy to set up and use.
>>6582210
AHK = AutoHotKey? I played around with it ages ago before I switched to linux, wasn't super impressed but it seemed nice enough.
>>6581838
That's just Amazon Kindle Reader online or w/e since I am reading something
>>6581935
I was reading Worm, a light novel made by someone.
Hey people of /wg/, I will like to rice my Desktop but for some reason I can't really seem to wrap my head around on the steps to do so. I'm running Debain and I would like my dekstop to look like something in pic related. I tried looking at the guides in InstallGentoo, but I feel like I need a bit more hand holding. Any step by step guide of things I need to get my desktop to look like something similar to this
>>6582230
How'd you rice your browser like that?
>>6582288
Most likely firefox+stylish. You can make it look basically however you want.
>>6582167
>When a ricer customizes the desktop, they are only showing what looks consistent with the design of the desktop.
About the only programs that I have that looks inconsistent with everything else is the Steam client since it's stock and msi afterburner for fan adjustment.
A good visual style even on Microsoft Windows adjusts everything.
got damn
>>6582431
i think ricing is going over your head anon, you're getting logical answers
>>6582335
You know what I am talking about but I have never come across a good VS.
There's always one little thing that messes it all up, or it can only stay a few colors.
>>6582223
Most DEs and WMs have rather good default keybinds, you can make everything way more comfortable by using those.
>>6582434
>There's always one little thing that messes it all up
Then find a fine one and edit it so it is good.
>>6582265
if you want something like this you should start by getting a window manager like awesome or i3-gaps and learn how to use it.
I'm the idiot btw
>>6582436
Is there a program to edit a VS?
If there is then I am ready immediately
>>6582439
Style Builder, it's all in the OPs.
>>6582440
I looked so hard in the past for something to edit VS's, but never came across one. I figured no one could ever make it besides the mysterious magicians on dA. Thanks.
>>6582387
What theme is this?
>>6582451
I am win7 tho
>>6582445
they're using moko's
>>6582451
Oh they just call it that for some reason.
>>6582455
So what? So am I.
>>6582459
It is understood..
email and serial key?
>>6582461
It's this ain't it?

you're going to need universal theme patcher or uxstyle to allow proper custom themes
>>6582466
I already got custom themes working, but thank you!
Should I be using Windows Style Builder - NBSC.exe or Windows Style Builder.exe
>>6582463
Thanks sweet setup.
>>6582474
But anon that's what I said.
Tonight is just not my night.
>>6582469
Use Windows Style Builder.exe
NBSC stands for No Black Screen Check which isn't something you need on 7 but want on 8 and 10.
>>6582479
Thanks. I guess the rest is understanding how to use the program.
>>6582482
There's a pdf on nanami-tan for making Visual styles
>>6582483
It looks like the pdf is a copy of what was on the forums?
>>6582485
Yes. The forums are behind a registration wall, so accessing files/images uploaded takes awhile, besides, the pdf is easier to navigate around and formatted slightly better.
>>6582487
Well I am glad they had the heart to get passed that that for us
>>6582195
'Neuton' for the logo ('nyaa.se')
'Merriweather for the menubar and the content
'Bebas Neue' for the title of section
>>6582037
>What's the problem with it?
I guess it's simply that I have no idea how to set it up as you have it, i've never used foobar before. Are there any prerequisites? How do I activate different panels? Is panels the right word? And how do I add a folder of music post-skinning?
illegal gang of anime posting desktop users
also comes in butt version
>>6581935
Well as I use many tabs at once, I prefer those for my task bar. But for the double visualizer it's fixed now, it's better now, looks sometimes like a music channel video but I love it this way.
Like butter baby
The left side is trash tho, any suggestions?

>>6582430
What font are you using, lemon? Could you share it? I've been looking for a windows version of it forever.
>>6582435
I am for the most part. The Super+Drag to move and resize were built in, I just enhanced them by letting me snap the windows to a grid and added new ones for just growing/shrinking.
>>6582558
Do you really need to know the weather?
The swap usage, hardrive space, ram, what is even AC line?
I'd suggest just removing that clutter
>>6582691
Not the guy you're replying to, I don't even use rainmeter myself anymore. I started with the standard clutter, over the years I was cutting it all down, hiding the junk, only having what I needed open. By the end my rainmeter was simply a 3 character temperature readout at the top left of my desktop. That little "15'" was so handy, it surpassed everything else I ever used rainmeter for.
>>6582586
for firefox and bblean its cure.se but in weechat its lemon cause its a rxvt clone so it will do it, but I've also been unable to find lemon on windows, and any font converter i try doesnt work :^(
>>6582437
Ok, I'm on a virtual environment right now, and I installed Open box and Gtk. I was told this is all I need, but still I just see a terminal.
>>6582525
>Are there any prerequisites?
I included all the components etc in the .zip, all you need is to have it installed in portable mode.
>How do I activate different panels?
The Playlists and Lyrics at the top change the main panel.
>how do I add a folder of music post-skinning?
Ctrl + P, Media Library, you can do it w/ the skin as well.
Or you can drag and drop songs.
>>6581837
what are you coding?
>>6582438
Good.
>autechre
Very good.

How to create lockscreen like this?
>>6586228
Depends on your WM. They're probably using i3 in that screenshot so I'd assume they're using i3lock for a lockscreen utility.
>>6586231
Thank u anyway
>>6586114
dope af
>>6581136
Can you post original image? Thanks
>>6582558
that's dope. how did you do that? I just started with desktop customization and am now running Rainmeter to set up my desktop.
Is it possible to do sth like this with Rainmeter?
>>6585857
Well, since you have two clock maybe you could remove the one in the taskbar, and at the same timethe trays icons, the date, etc ...
In general I'm not a fan of side taskbar, because it feels a bit cramped like this, I would usually put it at the bottom, or sometimes à the top
Hide the captions with some AHK script and remove the '28 items' and such at the bottome left
>>6586315
Sure.
>>6586372
Pretty sure that's all Rainmeter skins.
>>6585921
>>6586387
Did a bit of modifying to the taskbar, and some minor fixes. Including removing the clock as well as the unnecessary icons. Better?
damn, writing a dA CSS is such a hassle, anyways posted it on dA for those who are interested

hi /wg/
been stuck for a while with this one, would you be so kind and recommend some changes?
>>6587366
>2 clocks
Just get rid of whatever that widget is on the right. It would look so much fresher without it.
>>6587377
I see, what would you recommend instead to display current CPU temp, hdd space used and RAM usage?
>>6587382

>>6586982

I'd recommend not displaying it.

thanks for the reply
..would you be so kind and expand your thought? any recommendations?
>>6587516
FInd a better icon pack, change your colors, change your wallpaper and since you probably can't make your own theme yet then I guess arc is ok
>>6587519
is it any better? what do you mean by colors? thank you for tha help!
>>6587541
They probably mean your terminal colors.

>>6587479
welcome, have fun !
Anyways, I don't think you really need to know the GPU/RAM stuff, so I would remove them along with the speakers volume, PWR, Date.
Try to find another rainmaeter music widget that would suit your layout.
If I were you I would remove the icons on the desktop, but it's just my opinion.
Keep up the ricing
>>6587522

>>6587659
it's pretty alright mate, I would hide the titlebars and the captions, and modify the FF CSS, especially around the url bar

Check the OP out, there are literally boards designated for posting your garbage hipster desktop to. You'd like them.
>>6588011
There are literally boards designed for your taste. Check out /trash/, you probably won't like it but it's where you deserve to be.
