This thread is solely for the discussion of Linux/GNU ricing, and is separate from the normal Linux "general". That means no distro-shilling, or otherOS shilling.
What kind of themes and icons do you use? What kind of WM to you use to make shit look pretty?

I am testing the Maxx Desktop, an Irix clone, on a vm.
http://dev.maxxdesktop.co/trax/maxxdesktop/wiki/DR3_Installation_Guide
Apparently it needs GNOME but I plan on dodge that requirement.
oh hey is this the desktop thread
>>54986976
This is the "informative" desktop bread
>>54986920
Looks bulky. Hope you have a nice resolution
I wonder if these themes come aliased to give of that true pixel feel.
>>54986920
Does that come packaged with KidPix? :^)
>>54986996
This, less cancer and more cooperation for a change.
I use KDE. I made the window borders and title bar tiny, like average rice grill.
Twin: A framebuffer wm, might come in handy for some people or for a special occasion, but not for ricing. Comes with his own "terminal emulator" and set of applications.
TinyWM: With 50 lines of code, this is minimal as it can get. Not big on features, but useful if you need to use a sttacking wm inside a tiling wm like Ratpoison (by using nested X servers).
dwm (+ dwmstatus): Now we are getting to feature-rich wm. This dynamic wm doesn't have many features by default, but with "patches" you can extend it a lot.
Ratpoison: Not for the faint of heart, this is the Emacs of wm, almost an entire desktop environment funtionality via shortcuts. Strictly tiling wm means you need to adjust to a life without the mouse.
Vtwm: twm with virtual desktop, Motif-like theme, and other added functionality. Themeable through a .vtwm, is easy to use and very savvy for when all else fails.
Motif Window Manager: The base for CDE, IRIX and 4dwm look and feel. Emulate that Silicon Graphics workstations you loved so much.
Bspwm: The vim of wm?
i3: Is the easy tiling wm you can get your hands on. Taksbar Included.
Blackbox (or Opebox): The wm which of Openbox forked from, is more than enough to use as a lightweight template for ricing. If you want more features you can use the fork Openbox that has xml configs.
IceWM: Do you feel like using a windows clone? With this you can out of the box. Even the configuration has a GUI for you.
Window Maker: A clone of nextstep (ancestor of Mac OS), a lot of applications (.app) are made for this wm.
Amiwm: Clone of the Amiga OS, the best feature you can find here is the workbench style.
FVWM (+ FvwmTabs and 4dwm theme): Now this is heavily themeable, feature filled wm. So much has been done for FVWM that you can choose between making a CDE/4dwm lookalike, or windows-like. FvwmTabs add an extra feature, the chance to merge programs in different windows by using "tabs".
s3d (+ s3dfm): ITS A FUCKING 3D DESKTOP!!!
The pic included is not mine.
I need a recommendation for a DE/WM, I want to move away from i3 but still get a similar amount of customization and good workflow.

Lubuntu newfag here,
just wondering how would I go about ricing,
Download i3?
Don't download i3 and rice OpenBox?
Just wait until I have enough GNowledge to use another distro?
>>54986837

get mad
>>54987894
In Lubuntu there is no easy way to change window managers. Better use a virtual machine like virtual box and download debian netinstal, doapt-get install xorg
and then install the different window managers.
You can start different wm by typingstartx windowmanagername
Find one wm you like, learn it, rice it, enjoy it.
>>54988048

Never used anything but awesome. A couple of questions.
>Ratpoison
>almost an entire desktop environment funtionality via shortcuts
What do you mean? Can't pretty much every tiling wm have lots of shortcuts?
Or is it more advanced in some way? I remember how in awesome you could make shortcuts that accepted arguments through bmenu-like command line (for example, I use it to feed playlists into mpd, first I use the shortcut, then type the name of the playlist and it feeds what I typed to a mpc command). Is it something like that, or something even more advanced?
>Bspwm
>The vim of wm?
What does it mean? Does it have chainable keybindings (2wd, for example), or something?
>s3d

Sounds cool. But does it need a lot of resources to run? And how customisable is it?

Sup /g/, I'm currently doing babby's first rice on Lubuntu. My question is after downloading a theme from box-look.org (more specifically https://www.box-look.org/p/1017307/) how do I install it? I haven't been able to find any clear answer on Google. Thanks in advance.
>>54989619

Its the principle, not to put too personal information on the net. But I already do a pretty good part about that so one fuck up isn't going to be the end of the world. :p

Hey, liking this thread a lot...
Are there any WMs that are great for multiple monitors? I've got 4 of different sizes, and I'm currently using i3. I don't really want to have a separate i3bar configuration for each monitor, which is what I'll have to do if I continue using i3. Thanks!
>>54991055

>>54991031
Awesome wm
>>54991138
This is gorgeous.
I currently use enlightenment and im generally very happy with it, only using like 120mb memory on boot. Thinking about switching away from vivaldi and e to a tiling wm. I love Vivaldi's UI especially the tab management, but it has a couple of bugs that cause occasional crashing and can't get flash to run for the life of me. Is awesome the default tiling option?
>>54991055

>Is it something like that, or something even more advanced?
I might be over exited but when I say "almost an entire desktop environment funtionality via shortcuts" wasn't just for bare bones Ratpoison but with additional programs or patches (although some come pre-installed). For example with ratmenu you can launch scripts and pretty much do what you just say https://lucky13linux.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/more-ratmenu-tips/
Then there are multiple workspaces which are not on by default but they are already installed in a script (rpws). Or tmpwm for temporary use of another window manager (because GIMP goes crazy), so type "C-t :tmpwm dwm". But you can also use a nested x server program like Xnest for that.
>>The vim of wm?
>What does it mean? Does it have chainable keybindings (2wd, for example), or something?
I am just testing Bspwm for the request of another anon and so far it was similar in keybinds as vi, that is all I can say for the moment.
>>54994640
I wanted to keep the list short and not going crazy (did it worked?), so despite I have a lot of links to stuff like that I didn't include it. Maybe in the future, or in another list.

Nice desktop btw.
>>54998054
>I am just testing Bspwm for the request of another anon and so far it was similar in keybinds as vi
Note that bspwm doesn't have keybindings - control of bspwm is done through it's socket using bspc. It's sister project sxhkd is an X hotkey daemon that can be used to call bspc.
>>54998161
the terminal is rxvt-unicode with base16-tomorrow for the scheme, dunst for the notifications, the bar is xfce4-panel but my window manager is bspwm. carly rae jepsen is a canadian pop star (most notable for call me maybe)

The first screenshot is CDE (Common Desktop Environment). Also look on mwm (Motif Window Manager) for an alternative without the bar.
The second is a theme he did himself, kudos for that

>>55004624

>>54998054
>>54988851
StumpWM is the successor to Ratpoison, made by the same developer.
It's truly the Emacs of WMs, being written in Common Lisp, and has a similar level of extensibility. You can interact with the REPL from your desktop or with Slime.
Probably the most comfortable I've felt in any environment once it's been configured.
