Awww thanks guys, I feel like my heart is about to explode in my chest
>>52047201
according to some people here i3 is bloated garbage so im hesitating to try it out
>>52047277
>>52047224
I really like your desktop, I just wouldn't use it
>>52047291
if you think i3 is bloated i think you need to reevaluate your need for a computer in the first place
>>52047302
i wish you could read anon
merry christmas! i need to put a new pc together later ^_^

everything checks out lad, u ok?
>>52047322
fukin hell mate did you really use waifu2x to scale up regular non-anime images??
>>52047341
"according to some people here i3 is bloated garbage so im hesitating to try it out"
take note of 'according to'
this means i dont think anything of i3
but other people do
not me
do you get it
>>52047322
i-i can't tell if you're being ironic
>>52047356
yeah i get it, semantics m8
i was moreso referring to anyone who finds i3 to be bloated, but u got what i mean
youre just being contrary for the sake of it
now go install i3
>>52047345
Yes I did, I didn't have any low res anime images on hand at the time
>>52047359
What do you mean anon??
Merry Christmas /g/
>>52047372
is it hard to rice
are keybindings silly/easy to configure
>>52047377
uwahh i don't know
also if i follow you i won't be anonymous anymore! :o
>>52047397
yeh the config is human readable
the only thing that can be awkward to configure is gaps
easier than dwm anyway
everytime you want to edit the config u have to recompile it from source lol
>>52047406
that sounds like a fucking hassle anon
>>52047400
I dont pay attention to who my follower are
I only it this to keep documentation and maybe help some people out
>>52047419
that last part was referring to dwm
i think the only easier to config wm than i3 is openbox
but idk if you'd consider that bloated :~)
Merry Christmas y'all :3
>>52047430
ive some experience with openbox and it didnt feel bloated so
>>52047446
sounds like that would be 4 u then
it doesnt have a lot of functionality other wms use but its braindead easy to configure because xml

Hey guize, is it possible to make openbox borders transparent? I use compton with it, can it provide anything of sorts?
>>52047972
I don't think openbox supports that. The themes are pretty simple. xfwm4 can handle it though, here's and old desktop
>>52047909
Hm. Closer Peerblock and N++, ran into the transparency glitch again... Does it look less cluttered now?
>>52047919
I almost knew someone would say either that or cyka blyat.
>>52047938
Hey, don't give me that look! I use it for the speedhack to speedup cutscenes and long walks.

>>52048012
>>52048069
Oh, thanks for this. I could make it work if I make some custom buttons that look fine with transparency on.. Maybe just flat squares of a slightly different color. Anyway, I'll figure something out, thanks.
No snow here. But at least my walpaper is sorta relevant.
Anyone have a list of themes that work with GTK 3.18? At least a few decent ones? Even Numix went to shit if you try it on gnome flashback.

Firefox will become almost non customizable. The only future for customization lies in browsers like Otter, Qupzilla, Qutebrowser or Vivaldi or Centbrowser.
All future Mozilla ware will end as carbon Chrome copy.

You're an idiot. I use Icecat and I can customize to my hearts content.

You know how FOSS works. Even if Mozilla actually did that, there'd be a fork.
This is the most comfy I've felt on Linux yet.

you make a fairly usable desktop that's simple to understand and operate if you read the docs, and then pretend that it took a great amount of effort and leet computer skills and feel like a badass as people confuse you for a pro
prerequisites for the facade:
programs claim to be lightweight, do not actually have to be truly lightweight, just lighter than gnome
programs should be written in a "cool" language like C to drive the point home - you ARE a hacker who uses HACKER software
some compiling should be required because ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make install is a lost art that makes people's jaws drop in wonder
hide any UI elements that might make people notice that your hackery looking desktop is functional, don't worry, you'll keep the functionality
seriously make sure it looks retro and unusable to people that don't know what software it is
bitmap fonts are recommended
all you have to lose is time, but you have the admiration of ignorant people to gain!

99% chance they're redundant. Use fine tweezers to bend them back, or at least make sure they're not shorted with any of the neighboring pins. Take your time and check your work, then throw it together and see if it posts. If it's really just a few pins it's probably saveable.
>>52052293
your font is shit
pretty good otherwise
>>52052293
Not much to rate
Show off your term colors and stuff
Also >>52052451 is right
If you like that kind of font style though terminus is popular

Is it animated?
>>52052633
No, it's just a screengrab. I was watching Lain the other day and she's just too qt.
>>52052626
this would be nicer if the panel didn't have a gradient or drop shadow, I think
>>52052668
looks like the 'gradient' is actually his buttons
>>52052344
That's lame. Less money you have to spend, I suppose.
>>52052683
I see that, but there's a vertical fade too
I'd do something like this. It's a nice desktop though.
>>52052782
>It's a nice desktop though.

I wouldn't even say it's half finished, it looks like he's barely even started
and honestly it doesn't look very good either way
>>52052688
Yeah, i'm going to spend christmas only with my bf, fuck the rest.
I'd like to know how to get SimSun on this machine without buggering around installing the font itself manually with a pacman package. I've thrown it into ~./local/share/fonts/, as well as system-wide (obviously chmodded), updated cache, but nothing seems to work.
>>52052782

I like the light grey against slate motif going on, I guess
the terminal fonts are badly borked, admittedly, and the drop shadown could be changed a bit, but it's kind of nice.

hello, and r8.
>>52052919
Honestly?
Top right text (whatever it is) is formatted ugly. You should fix that.
The uneven size ratio from bottom and top in the upper middle tile (are they even tiled?) is awkward and, of course, uneven.
Rounded corners are lame, but that's just my opinion. You have too much black in your browser. Like, thick, strong black. Tone it down a bit. You can make it a bit lighter and still maintain the desired goal for the thick-darkness without resorting to pure black. Also, fix the captcha's contrasting color. Quickreply should fit the theme of the rest of the webpage.
I do like the colourscheme, but the issues I noted are still issues.
Updated the startpage some, tried to make the tiles slide and shit but that gave me font issues, so that idea died. Haven't done much else to the desktop yet, not sure what I should do next. I guess I need to get a good font.
>>52053018
>>52052825
irony overload
>>52052919
Why would you space your replies out so far if you're going to use a vertical split? You should also add padding to the bottom of your thread div. and fix your file upload button. It's kind of un-good in general.
>>52052919
this isn't good
>>52053025
Is that background for the startpage actually transparent with a blur effect, or is it just copied (to match) with a photoshopped blur effect? Both work, I guess, but I'd prefer modular over temporary static solutions. Either way. you've got some soft, enjoyable colours, your layout is good, wallpaper is tasteful (maybe a little bit too busy, and the contrast makes the aesthetic slighlty concentrated [if that's even an issue], rough edges etcetera)
The borders are a bit thuick, and strangely coloured, but that's personal preference, I guess. Much as anything is personal preference, but whatever.
And, I can't tell, but do you have bolds enabled in your terminal?
>>52053076
go away, you have no right to post any criticism when your own desktop is fucking trash
r8 m8s
riced chatzilla > any other irc client (especially weechat)

>>52053134
Here.
>>52053126
irc client in a browser... gross...
>>52053076
It's somewhere inbetween, it's the same background with a blur (css blur though), but it's dynamic via jquery. Although I set it to update slowly, because I usually don't swing my browser around.
And yeah, I need to work on the colors. I'd like to get them to match more with the background, since it has some pretty sweet colors going.
>>52053126
That's riced?
If that's riced, why does it look like such shit?

Forgot to answer this. I think I do, but nothing bold is displaying I guess.
>>52053181
Thanks!
>>52053146
However generic pastel colours may be, they're still soft and pleasant on the eyes. The resolution confuses me, but I'm not going to criticize someone for their monitor size. Floating is a choice, of course. Good fonts.
Your FF .css should include some slight grey (light grey, of course!) coloration to the url bar to indicate difference, but it's fine. Your startpage is decent, simple, but the size of the words on the bottom tiles are a little bit too large-- touch near the sides of the squares too much. Cute anime girls, too, bumping it up to 11/10, obviously.
>>52053151
Thanks, bb.
>>52053154
That's actually a really cool thing you've set up there. Props for that, you wrote it yourself I take it?
And yeah, I wish you good luck on getting the colours to harmonize.
>>52053196
I personally find bolds in terminals to be a bit weird myself, though everyone has preferences. Puts too much of a contrast for a terminal environment.
>>52053140
thanks
it's wm2, if you care
>>52053238
it tiles too!
>>52053163
yeah it's functional as all hell. also love the integration with OS X's notification system + js script extensibility + client functionality. honestly the best irc client I've ever used. scraped through the old versions to get the (superior) user channel rank graphics and the classic bliss motif. reminds me of the ultra functional emacs leuven.el theme that I've been using. never been more productive/happy with my setup. I think the only thing I have left to add to my retro tile collection are the solaris/cde ones, but I should have all others. think I have all good classic icons as well.
>>52053268
>>52053268
Ironically awful, as usual.
>>52053260
I'm unironically grateful that you gave me this information.
>>52053238
>That's actually a really cool thing you've set up there. Props for that, you wrote it yourself I take it?

>I personally find bolds in terminals to be a bit weird myself, though everyone has preferences.
It seems all of the blue in this are bold, doesn't look too bad in there, barely noticeable.
