You know the drill -- take a screenshot of your current desktop, and post it here. (preferably as a thumbnail, or a direct link)
Current Desktop (http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3061/image1veq.jpg) - Windows XP Pro SP3, 256 MB RAM, Sempron 1.6 GHz (yes, you can have a pretty desktop without buying 2 gigs of RAM and a dual-core processor!)
I had to do some registry tweaking to get the Windows 7-like taskbar going, but it's totally native. I'm not running any special programs to run the theme.

Is "NSFW" material allowed? =D
If not, I'll have to change my desktop.
Post by: Galandros on May 31, 2009, 03:31:35 pm
Windows XP, 1,5GB RAM, processor is Intel 4
The wallpaper was my father choice. I don't bother about the desktop except the links and files in it.
As you can see, is full of games, software, z80 dev stuff and some notes.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 31, 2009, 04:41:14 pm
Personally i won't post my desktop because it has nothing special. I just use the default Windows XP theme (that comes before installing any service pack). The only thing is that it's in french and my desktop is filled with icons :P

Upgraded to Windows 7 RC and I've been enjoying it.
I'm using the background rotation thing they have that changes the background at certain intervals.
It's currently set to change every hour. Anyway, this theme is for drawings done by my ex-girlfriend.
(Not all of them shown above. Just the ones I remember to screenshot.)
Also, I found a series of cool icons and set-up my folders and such appropriately.
Um... I like it.

On Fastest, what I like is how fast paced games are and I like how we can get massive army battles so quick. But when you get back to regular maps, you have troubles because you don't expand fast enough or expand too fast. I also hate how in 4 vs 4 everyone takes the nearby expansion bases so I end up not being able to expand x.x or can expand but run out of gas all the time.

In Québec, there was a KFC parody from RBO (Rock Et Belles Oreilles) where KFC is called CFC (Cloro-Fluoro-Carbure or something, that thing that was destroying ozone back in the '90s)Actually, the wallpaper represents Zedd (Zeddicus Zul Zorander), the Wizard from the Legend of the Seeker series. For those that don't know what that is, it's an adaptation of the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind.

One of the configuration files loses it's extension when the batch file edits it.
To fix, simply open C:\Program Files\nitacku\Samurize\Configs
Locate gmail file, and give it a file extension of ".ini"
Reload the interface. (you can click on the dark gray strip above the 4 icons to reload)
Should work.
You may also experience difficulty setting up ObjectDock.
If it says something about a license not being valid, try saving the license again using the patch tool.

(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8540/nitakustyle.th.jpg) (http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8540/nitakustyle.jpg)
Thank you, Nitacku! This stuff is great!
I couldn't get ObjectDock to load the nitacku theme, but that's no matter. I prefer my set up. =)
3 bottom bars (start menu on the left side, general programs I use in the middle, recycle bin and currently open windows on the right) and 1 right bar (containing the games I play currently)
Also modified the modules a bit. (I don't have an 'N' drive. ;P)
Well, you can see what's changed for the most part.
Again, thanks Nitacku!

Oh, pSX? I noticed it has some issues with sound emulation. A lot of them were fixed in v1.13, but I'm not sure if any of these fixes affected its compatibility with MTV Music Generator.

Mhmm, how long ago was 1.13 released? The last time I tried MTVMG in PSX is late 2008 or early 2009, I think. Basically most sounds were some high pitched acute synths. MTVMG has the exact same problem on the Playstation 3, too, from what I heard. IIRC it's just one hard game to emulate in terms of sound. I use ePSXe for it, with Eternal SPU sound plugin
I think it was later 2009. Not totally sure.
It's probably because pSX has trouble emulating XA audio accurately. Games that use different audio structures won't have these kinds of problems. I know in some games, the audio will just drop-out entirely.

Oops. Didn't notice your response.
I'm not sure if there are any blackbox builds compatible with Vista or 7. You can give it a try and see. I was using it under XP.
On another note: I wish Windows' taskbars were as flexible as those under Linux desktop environments. Earlier, I was trying to find ways to outright remove the Start button, move tray elements to other sections of the taskbar, or remove the tray altogether. I thought it would be cool to have a taskbar as minimal as this:

My linux background is really cool. Its called "Day and Night" or something. I can't seem to find it online anymore, but its really cool. Its a sunrise from above the clouds and the image changes depending on the time of day. In the morning, its a light blue with a sunrise, in the day its bright with yellow, the evening there's a red sunset, and at night, the sky is dark. I love it.

Yes, the most difficult thing in Belnder, is to start. Finally Blender 2.5 is confusing for experimental users as well, because all the settings have been moved, but when you "understand" where they escaped, you're like at home :pQuoteI heard a lot of people say Blender can be confusing to use. I guess it depends of people, really. ANyway nice jobThe controls aren't obvious, but once you learn them, they are great.

GAH! I hate when I get used to a software and they change everything. What I hate even more in a software is when they even remove features and won't tell you.
Finally, Blender 2.5 is so wonderful and so impressive, can make fast renders including the GPU, etc... that you can't say that you hate Blender :p
Furthermore, all the new features are related on the offcial website, but as we know, Blender 2.5 is a beta release (that evolves every day) for the future 2.6 trunk.
Look at the Blender 2.5 topic, started in 11/2007
Every 5 posts is some kind of new feature :

Did you know that Xubuntu's implementation of Xfce actually uses more RAM than Gnome (http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7520)? (scroll down to "Simple comparisons") Even though Xubuntu aimed to be more lightweight, it became something of an oxymoron, just because they included so much robust software with it.
If you want a more lightweight Ubuntu derivative, look into Lubuntu (http://lubuntu.net/). LXDE is not only more memory-efficient, but it also consumes less energy. Pretty ideal for green PCs.

I'll get the icon theme to you some other way, since it is 11 MB.
Take the final .zip extensions off the two files. You might want to take out the 'blarg' too, since that was to prevent a duplicate filename error.
The themes aren't mine, but they were redistributable to begin with and I couldn't find the sites I got them from.

Nice, does it runs kinda fast on your computer? I heard some people had troubles running vista on their comp, but 7 ran better, due to being (apparently) less ressource-intensive than Vista.Runs smooth, boots in 40 seconds (including auto-login), about a minute to be ready to use...
it runs very smooth since I upgraded my graphics card from a crappy gt 8200 (nvidia) to a gtx 9600 (nvidia), also some register edits, and other tweaks to kill unnecesary proccesses and vista is fine.
I can play most games maxed out but online I set them quite low so I don't lag too much (especially in a big game like FFOW which supports up to 64 running and gunning players in one map... :P)
Anyways to answer your question more simply: yes. xD
edit: on my desk you see a program called "Multimedia Logic" this is a AWESOME program for anyone intrested in electronics, it doesn't make PCB's but you can very, very easily simulate logic designs! It's fast too!

I think we may have a pirate on our hands...Yarg! - Oh, I mean why might you think that? ::)
By desk cleaning I meant organizing all the icons on my desktop. I usually have a bunch of files sitting around from having the default location for saving images from Fireworks and downloads from Firefox being the desktop. I also get a lot of clutter from getting things for Brawl Plus.
Oh yeah, I disabled Autoplay in the registry and have the 'no CD' patch for some of the games. For a couple others, eh, let's just say I borrowed it from a friend. ;)
Is it me or are there A LOT of Josh/Joshua member around here?Really? What other Joshua's are there? Also, Yeah, I have CFW on my PSP and play homebrew/emulators on it.
Also Netham45 what do you mean? ??? Do you mean the PSP stuff and uTorrent? :P
On an off-topic note, I wish it was easier to connect with people on Halo CE. We could play some games sometimes with Eeems... :P
Out of curiosity, what you're are did for the red Start button?I have a modified uxtheme.dll to allow 3rd party themes and I'm running the Zune Theme with the color mod. If you want it I can probably find where I got it, although I've had it for quite a while. If not I can always just pull it from the themes folder and zip it.

The first person to explain how I can do this to my Ubuntu installation gets 3 internets. Go.
Post by: Deep Toaster on November 01, 2010, 09:03:35 pm
Second: For some reason, it forgets to change the pointer and desktop background. Go into System > Preferences > Appearance, click Custom, and change the pointer to the Mac4Lin one. Then find the background on Google Images (http://www.google.com/imghp) and change it.
Third: Install cairo-dock (also known as glx-dock) from the software center. You can customize it a lot, so just play around and find the settings that best match Mac OS X. I won't tell you how because it takes a really, really long time to do it right, but as a tip, remember to change the angle of the doc to about 30 degrees from the vertical.
Fourth: Install Foxdie (http://www.foxdie.us/) for Firefox. Play around with the settings until you get to a combination you like.
Fifth (bonus): This will take a lot of time, but if you have time to kill, change the bookmarks for Firefox to the default ones for Safari (you can see which ones to use in my screenie).
Can I haz Internets nao? ;D

Everyone has their own tastes, though.
Post by: Jonius7 on November 02, 2010, 12:53:36 am
I don't mind having lots of icons, but not too many either. Every once in a while I clean mine so only the programs I use often and the files I need often remains. I just hate to have to click Start->Starcraft II to play SC when I can instantly click it from the desktop, and I hate the quick launch on Windows 7 so I disabled that.
Everyone has their own tastes, though.
I agree with the icons, having too many small icons is cluttered...
there's a quick launch in Windows 7? i thought it was vista only...
wait there is (well kind of) but it's disabled by default
I drastically changed my taskbar, if u still remember on my emulator screenshot i posted in september i had small icon taskbar, now ive reverted back to big icons. and also before i had a toolbar in the taskbar a while ago, was like a quicklaunch bar (right click the start button ->toolbars-> new toolbar) but i removed it because i got tired of it after a while.
Anyway i have quick access to some important programs (eg: when i am using the screen as a writing tool -its touchscreen) on the rocketdock in the top right hand corner.

Out of curiosity, what you're are did for the red Start button?It's part of the Zune color mod. Let me see if I remember where I got the stuff from.
As for the Start button, it's awesome and I'd appreciate a link when you get the time. Thanks!
Ok, here we go (Oh yeah, you might want to scan these to make sure I didn't mess up anywhere):
First, get the official Zune theme and install it.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078)
Then get the uxtheme patcher and run that.
For Service Pack 2 or below
http://www.llbbl.com/data/nw_uxpatcher.zip (http://www.llbbl.com/data/nw_uxpatcher.zip)
For Service Pack 3 (haven't tried this)

Then finally get the Color Mod, run it and extract to 'C:/windows/resources/themes'
http://www.deviantart.com/download/50421916/Zune_Theme_Color_Mod_by_atomikscr.exe (http://www.deviantart.com/download/50421916/Zune_Theme_Color_Mod_by_atomikscr.exe)
Then just go to Display Properties and click the appearance tab. Change theme to Zune and color scheme to whatever you want.
I hope I didn't mess up. Tell me how it goes. :)
Oh, I don't remember if the Zune theme changes the text for the title bars, but if it does you can set them back to Trebuchet MS font 10.

those icons are somewhat massive for my taste, though
"Amine" is an actual word.
For example, one can hydrolyze the Amine functional group on AEAPS :P

I tend to not use icons much. I do have like 20 programs pinned on my start menu + the like 10 on the bar itself.

Flash drive?
And as a tip, if you want to run Linux from a flash drive, use the old MultibootISOs from PDL. Booting up is a couple dozen times faster if you use it instead of their standard installer for some reason.
They replaced it with YUMI, though, and now it's just as slow as the standard USB installer.

I'm not surprised. Desktop managers often take some configuring before they'll start working, and packages, unlike OS installs, want you to do it yourself.I've never had this issue getting a DE to work. KDE GNOME and LXDE have all worked pretty much out of the box for me. I only had to do a little work for LXDE to get it to show up in the KDM menu when I was playing around with it.

Hey Deep Though, I'm having issues getting things to actually display when I log in with a unity session, do you have any experience with setting it up at all?
I just installed the entire netbook remix (complete reinstall), so I didn't need to set it up at all.
But according to http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/ubuntu-1010-will-get-unity-ubuntu-light.html (scroll down to red box), you can install the devver's package of Unity with
Code: (Linux apt-get) [Select]
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity
from PPA. (Other bleeding-edge versions are at https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team if you want.)
EDIT: Here's what's left of my thumb drive after I set up Ubuntu with over 3 GB persistency:
EDIT2: Dang, I missed 2 MB :P
EDIT3: I think I know why I like Unity so much. It's like the Mac OS Dock :love:

Yap, Unity has stuff like that, but Docky works in all Linux Distros, it's fancy, but it's only cool if it is in "Auto-Hide". Other wise, it takes too much space on the screen.

btw you can just right-click the desktop and select properties ;)I think i'm going to keep it like this anyway.Personalization Settings, accessed through Panel Control.Why do you use the old theme?becouse i don't know how to set the theme
btw i can't even find the personalisation settings.
The one I use is the typical green hill thing, but hey, it's a shared comp :P
If and when I get my own it's going to look good tho...

Gnome Shell is the desktop manager for Gnome 3 and as far as I know it has nothing to do with Unity. Unity came into being after a dispute on the path Gnome 3 was going to take.

A quick wikipedia quote:
Quote
Unity is a shell interface for the GNOME desktop environment developed by Canonical Ltd for its Ubuntu operating system.
See, GNOME Shell is one desktop for GNOME. MATE (a Gnome 2 fork running on gdm3) is another. Unity is yet another.
And I prefer XFCE. It gets application compatibility with gnome AND kde programs, and doesn't complain about either (something I've run into problems with trying to run one type off of the other) AND it's significantly faster. It reminds me of Gnome 2, which used to be my favorite, but I'm afraid to use MATE since it looks like they plan on phasing it out eventually. XFCE has no such worries.
Edit: Aww, it appears electricsheep doesn't like being screenshotted. oh well. It's the actual program, not a video clip or a still shot!
Why, GNOME, must you try to become another KDE4? :'(
Plus, GNOME 3 removed screensaver support! >:(
And just to keep it OT, I made electricsheep my Background. It looks awesome.

Sigh. The latest version of Ubuntu has Unity interface by default, but you can change it. Never associate a distribution with its default interface, but with its default applications, package manager, etc.
I am an Ubuntu user and I use Awesome WM, which is an advanced window manager, configurable with Lua, and I love it. Just because I use Ubuntu, I don't have to use Unity.
Install Ubuntu and choose another interface:
- KDE;
- xfce;
- Gnome Shell;
- dwm;
- Awesome WM;
- xmonad;
- i3;
- Enlightement;
- Pantheon;
- etc.

In the login screen you will see a gear next to your name. Click on it and select the desktop environment you want. GNOME is GNOME3/ GNOME shell, and GNOME classic is pretty much like GNOME 2. You can install more Desktop Environments with terminal:
XCFE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
LXDE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
KDE:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Hope that helps!

If your a real geek, get the awesome DE:

sudo apt-get install awesome

Correction, Unity is the TI-81 incarnation of Ndless (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/425/42572.html). On a calculator forum, calc definitions of software names must have priority over their computer counterparts. Otherwise, it will encourage Texas Instruments to implement division by zero on their OSes. :PErm....what?Unity sucks.

Linux app?Time lighting. There's an app for that.i made mine go darker when it's evening, and lighter when it gets to 12 o'clock :) so it gives a kind of idea of which time of the day it is, and it is useful for when it's late in the evening and your eyes aren't that light-resistant anymore..
Nice. :)

I like the wallpaper, but i cannot say i like windows 7's huge taskbar...It's only huge if you keep it at the default size. If you use small icons you shrink it down to half size :P
Anyways how the taskbar is a matter of preference.

From my experience, Rainmeter doesn't seem eat too much CPU power, but I've never benchmarked it, so I don't know for sure.
It can and does take up CPU at times, but so does Windows Gadgets. You either have one or the other (or none at all)

Puppy Linux! :DYep :D I really like the way it handles persistency. Instead of keeping a filesystem in a file (like "casper," which Ubuntu uses when you boot it off a thumb drive), Puppy deletes and re-saves the entire filesystem into an encrypted file when you end your session.
That way you don't suddenly see a message telling you you've run out of memory like with Ubuntu (it's happened to me several times), which keeps appending to casper until the file runs out of room—and you can't delete old data or anything.
I guess it would wear out my flash drive faster though.

Looks nice. I didn't know we could get custom themes like this. All I did was changing the wallpaper on mine lol (to the Omni bg).You would have to jailbreak to be able to get custom themes.

Shift+Print Screen is better.
what's the difference in [prtsc] or [shift][prtsc] if you're only printscreening your desktop?? that doesn't make any difference, does it?

I can barely stand to have more then 5 things on my desktop. I constantly am tossing them into folders to reduce clutterthat sounds a bit extreme, but I know what you mean. I don't ever keep any files on my desktop—just some shortcuts to oft-used apps. (It's Windows Vista, so no Mac-style launcher for me.)

you should definitely give MATE a try, if you haven't already. it takes a bit more work to set it up, but the end result is pretty fantastic. after the mate+finely-tuned compiz setup i've had for the past year or so, anything else just feels like trying to work with toys.

Is that sun lightning effect actually from the game?Yes, it's a mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940974-125sonic-ethers-unbelievable-shaders-glsl-shaders-dynamic-shadows-more/
This video nicely demonstrates the capabilities of the shader. The only problem is it's GPU intensive, as in more than Crysis, because the code isn't optimized both in the shader code itself and in the way the shaders were added on top of Minecraft.

Even the bottom right thingy is just a bash script with a custom font to make the circular graphs. There is (top to bottom) RAM usage, CPU usage and mouse battery status.

my school desktop (we cant change the background)Our background is a very badly pixelated knight. But the original background was white, and they used the fill tool to make it black. So the shading/outline looks horrible. :P

Who needs that much ram and that much space O.O
people who watch and listen to lots of things and also like to keep backups of stuff. i have about 6TB of storage, and it's ~75% full. when dealing with huge chunks of storage, your RAM gets filled up to be used as cache very quickly, so the more you have the faster things work.

you wouldn't loose any files if you back 'em up to an external hdd and check if the backup was successful (unlike me >.<)It might as well take hours to back the important files up, and I don't have a blank external HDD. Can't get my folks to buy one either.

That. Pretty self-explanatory if you ask me :P
source wiki thing (http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_11.04_on_a_Windows_System_%28Dual_booting%29), a bit old but still fits
Backup's still recommended, but personally I haven't had any horror stories over about a dozen re-installations so ymmv.

I'm using Java 7 SE, and just right-clicking on the icon and selecting "Run With > Java 7".
what about hardware? also, i mentioned unity as a prime suspect because compiz+it makes for an incredibly bloated, resource-hogging window manager+compositor. if i were you, i'd install something more sane, like mint with MATE (http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php), and then run compton (https://github.com/chjj/compton) for compositing (desktop vsync, transparency, window shadows if you want them, etc). well, actually, if i were you i'd install arch :P

Just as a side note java from oracle seems to run a bit faster than openjdk. Sounds like you don't have that tho, so yeah.
Speaking of posting desktops, did some polishing* and now woo 64-bit os. Not that it's visible but yay.
*and manually edited a certain set of jupiter icons b/c ubuntu's default icons have this sickly yellow tinge to them

What I wonder is if Windows 8.1 for desktops really brings back the Windows 7 style start menu?It doesn't open a proper menu afaict, it leads to the tiles screen :/
Kind of ot, but what's up with this flatness trend in graphic design lately? Here we are in the 21st century.. and we're making bright, loudly-colored interfaces that look like 3.1 themes without bevels or something. Edges and corners seem to mostly be aliased.
There's even gtk themes picking up on it :P

making things flat really helps for saving space, because tiling wms like this look gross otherwise.You could also use something different than gedit for developpment, like emacs or vim. You will earn a lot more space.
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 23, 2013, 01:22:38 pm
I meant how in Windows 8, instead of the Windows 95 or XP start menu, a new page appears with tiles like on a smartphone. Windows 8 got many negative criticism due to that because many people have been used to the original menu for 15 years and are not willing to have to get used to something new or saw the forced change pointless.What I wonder is if Windows 8.1 for desktops really brings back the Windows 7 style start menu?

That said, I don't think Omni would look too bad if gradients were removed and replaced with a two-color thing, as long as the right color scheme was used.

No, that's Windows 9.I lol'ed. That said, in Windows 7 I had FAR less problems than in XP. I haven't tried Vista enough to judge, though. Windows 98 (non-SE) and XP were crash-havens, although at least XP was just apps behaving weirdly, requiring CTRL+ALT+DEL, rather than BSOD's every minute or so. I have only needed to force restart my Seven computer once.
All versions after that will be completely nonfunctional (continuing the trend of Windows).
For example, Windows 10 will look like this:

You put your computer screen sideways? D:Nah, this is just the left half of my desktop.
Nothing of interest on the other side (no icons and the background just extends), so to save you guys an enormous image I clipped it off.
I see many graphists have of their screens in portrait orientation. It's maybe less practical in games, but more designed to design. (Heh! A source code monitor with more lines!)That's actually true—I find it easier to keep track of code on a vertical screen. Too bad this is on a laptop :P

Maybe there are tv's with them as well? If it's possible to attach the things to a wall it shouldn't be too difficult for someone to design a rotating bracket.

ah I see now. I hope she is ok right now btw. As for RFG the entire image content is still up right now so images that were already uploaded remained intact, but we can't upload anymore. The host no longer had time to monitor the many porn that kept getting uploaded there and he didn't want trouble.Yeah there was a news on the front page about it, but I think that was when you left Omni and other calc sites for nearly 3 months or so.
Yeah, I probably missed a lot during that time. I was staying with my Grandma to help her out, didn't have internet too much.

I actually use IE11 sometimes, since Youtube upload is broken in Chrome/Opera/Firefox/Safari it seems, and some sites are IE-only. However, it's slow-ish D:IE isn't that bad performance-wise nowadays. It also has low memory usage, so I find it useful when I'm on a machine with only 2GB of RAM. Otherwise, I just use Firefox because it has extensions.

I don't understand people who use desktop shortcuts.I prefer using desktop shortcuts so I don't need to spend 1 minute navigating to the folders that has all my files. I save a considerable amount of time doing so. However, for important applications I prefer using the Start menu or the quick launch menu, depending of how often I use them. To each their own I guess (besides, my current wallpaper is tiled anyway, so it repeats over and over)

A good file tree organisation and explicit folder names usually do the trick to browse files efficiently.
I keep a few important places in Thunar's sidebar, and xfce4's Directory Menu does the rest.
but indeed, everyone works differently, so everyone has a different organisation

That iMac got quite a lot of uptime since I got it repaired so I think it is repaired. They didn't repaired it correctly last time. ._.Indeed, but we never know. If it was assembled on a Monday morning when workers are still recovering from an hangover or on Friday afternoon when they are exhausted from their week of work, it's possible that the computer is just a lemon and have plenty of other defects (and I heard that batch of iMacs in particular was plagued with problems, while other iMacs were fine).

It was no so fun to edit that Masterball image (I don't know where I found it, probably deviantart) to have transparent background etc though. But the result is worth it :D
Also, it opens when you click it :P

But in fact, I tried to install Win7, it worked... without the drivers, but my hardware was too recent when I bought it to have all the drivers. They were only available for Win8 so I had to install Win8. And I completely agree with the fact Win8 is 90% useless and that they could have let the compatibility options, but I didn't have the choice back then :-\

Weird all my hardware is supported but again, it's previous gen stuff. :/Yeah, that. See, here (http://www.clubic.com/carte-graphique/carte-graphique-nvidia/actualite-562088-gtx-700m.html) in May they talk about the announcement of the upcoming graphic card that is mine, so it is not out yet in May, and I got it in July so I guess they first made drivers for Win8 before making them for 7.

Hm yeah I don't upgrade often... Once in a while though. Each time I have to update the kernel I have to copy some files manually to another partition so it boots correctly...UEFI boot ? I use rEFInd which includes BTRFS drivers so all my Linux partitions (/, /boot and /home) are BTRFS and I don't have to maintain anything. :P
Post by: Juju on May 02, 2014, 09:55:41 pm
Kind of dirty hack I know, but it works. The thing is, if I update the kernel and don't move it to the internal hard disk, there will be a kernel version mismatch, as in, the modules will refuse to load if they are not compiled for the same kernel version the system is running and the system will be pretty much unusable.
Post by: bb010g on May 03, 2014, 12:14:55 am
Juju: Use a mkinitcpio hook, like this:
sudo -s or su into your root.
Make a file /root/kernel-copy.sh (or whatever):
(replace all references to EFI only stuff with proper locations and text, but the basic operations should be fine; the if block is there to make sure my /boot/efi is rw and not r as it tends to mount for no particular reason (I think it's related to being HFS), so you should be able to remove that unless you have cp problems)
Code: [Select]
#!/usr/bin/env bash
while [[ -d "/proc/$PPID" ]]; do
sleep 1
done
if [[ "rw" != "r$(/usr/bin/mount | /usr/bin/grep '/dev/sda4' | /usr/bin/sed 's/.*(r\(.\).*/\1/')" ]]; then
/usr/bin/umount /dev/sda4; /usr/bin/fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda4; /usr/bin/mount /dev/sda4
echo ' -> Remounted /dev/sda4 as rw [kernel-copy]'
fi
/usr/bin/cp -f /boot/vmlinuz-linux /boot/efi/EFI/arch/vmlinuz.efi
/usr/bin/cp -f /boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img
/usr/bin/cp -f /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch-fallback.img
echo ' -> Synced kernel with ESP [kernel-copy]'
Make a file /usr/lib/initcpio/install/kernel-copy (fixing as necessary):
Code: [Select]
#!/usr/bin/env bash
build() {
/root/kernel-copy.sh &
}
help() {
cat <<HELPEOF
This hook waits for mkinitcpio to finish and copies the finished ramdisk and kernel to my external drive
HELPEOF
}
Again, change as necessary. Mostly taken from the EFISTUB ArchWiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFISTUB).

Thanks bb010g, I'll try this out before next time I upgrade (with the necessary modifications obviously, because I have no EFI, but that should work :P ).I used the /etc/fstab way and mounted/binded /boot to the place where I have to put the kernel. I guess it works.

conky really isn't worth the time and the effort. it looks nice, but in the end it's a resource watcher that hogs resources itself. you should take a look at vicious; it embeds things directly in a wiibox and sets timers for grabbing different resources so they're only checked when they need to be instead of all together. that + a quick call to htop when you're actually curious about what exactly is using up your resources would accomplish the same goal without being as taxing.Who said it was easy to waste resources on my PC ? :trollface:
Also thanks for the suggestion bb010g but in that case I'd rather use Vicious because it allows graphics and it integrates into Awesome fairly well.

Path Finder! \o/ A bit surprised you use Safari. :) Also, are you running a skinned Dock?
Yeah, I love Path Finder, and I'm excited for version 7, since that's supposed to bring better Dropbox integration.
Yeah, I use Safari mainly because it's noticeably more battery efficient than Chrome, and I want to crank as much battery as I can out of my MBP. Dat 17" screen sucks a lot of power. ;) Also because I use an iPhone and iPad, so the syncing benefits are obvious.
Nope, standard Mavericks side dock. Just bumped it to the bottom because it just feels right sitting it in the corner for some reason. :P
I like, but a little too bright for my tastes so I would probably not use it personally. :P
It's brighter than what I usually use, but I liked it a lot on my phone, so I thought I'd give it a try here too. :P

Or use the M build if you want something "stable" (never had any issue with nightly nor self builds).

Same here. For images people sometimes use user width but we can't with attachments. Maybe they could be made like on certain forums where clicking them enlarges them. Not sure if that's possible on SMF, tho.Wait, you can do that ? O.O I usually set it to 1000 pixels unless it's smaller.

Anyways: 4k screen?
It sure is, the most cheap AOC display there was :) €499. i'm really happy with it, but everything is kind of small..
First i had it running at max 30Hz witch is really bad. now i got it at 40Hz which is nice.
not sure if my GPU can handle it that good, i have integrated graphics "Intel HD 3000",
on my newer laptop i can't get the 165Mhz pixel clock cap off.. so it does not support this resolution :(
The native resolution is a little small, but if i put it in 1080p HiDPi it is just to big (but really sharp).
I was trying to set it in 1440p HiDPi (because that is a nice resolution) and then scale it down to UHD, but my Graphics card is not willing to give me 5120x2880, but it would probably look really good.
For now i see it as a good investment, do you guys think about getting a 4k monitor?
I tested it with Half Life 2: Lost Coast, on 4k with all setting on low (V-Sync off) and my HD3000 got about 12FPS on the stress test.
Spoiler For Spoiler:
funny is i waited 30days for this monitor, and when i didn't get it then i bought it somewhere else and got it in 22h shiped to the door :) (DON'T BUY AT ALTERNATE) <--- Bad Store!

It is small but i need to get used to it, it is really handy for programming with sources left and right and code somewhere in the middle,
the 1080p HiDPi mode means GUI scaling 1080p retina like, i switch between these resolutions:

Welp, an IntelHD3000 doesn't quite match the specs for your screen. Good luck gaming on that :x
I don't really game, or i set a really small resolution, HD3000 is no gaming card no matter resolution (i can always steal my dad's work computer).

As for 4K res screens I doubt my graphic card and computer would even handle them because the graphic cars is from early 2012 and the computer, although an higher end work machine, early 2010.
However, isn't it possible in some OSes to resize the theme fonts and icons on large resolutions to make them easier to read? I remembieber it was possible under Windows 2000 and XP.

Just finished setting up my computer again with Xubuntu and Windows 8. Not dual-boot—Windows 8 is running in VirtualBox in Seamless mode :PWhat XFCE theme is that? (Also, how'd you get the workspace widget that small (if that is it in the upper left corner)?)
[img width=900]http://img.ourl.ca/41%20PM.png[/img]
Post by: Deep Toaster on August 03, 2014, 02:54:39 pm
What XFCE theme is that?Numix everywhere (Numix theme, Numix window manager theme, Numix notifications) with a bit of tweaking (I changed the highlight color back to sky blue and added transparency to the panel and window decorations).
The background is actually the one in Windows in VirtualBox; the actual desktop wallpaper I'm using is the one shown below, which comes with Xubuntu 14.04 by default.
(Also, how'd you get the workspace widget that small (if that is it in the upper left corner)?)What do you mean? It's the standard Workplace Switcher panel plugin set up with four workspaces and two rows.
The panel itself is 24 pixels high and one row, which I believe is standard.
By the way, XFCE comes with a drop-down terminal built in which is awesome. This is one of the two features XFCE has by default which I sorely missed on other distros (the other being screen zoom by Alt+scrollwheel).

Nice features indeed. I used Yakuake back when ran KDE. Now that I'm on a tiling manager I have no use for a Quake style terminal though. :PI also enabled a couple of keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+numpad) for tiling windows.
This and the whole 2x2 workspace arrangement thing are features I missed from Ubuntu with Unity, but it turns out enabling them in Xubuntu is simple enough.
Also screen zoom is pretty useful, I'll have to look into it. Do you have compositing on ? With which manager ?It's just the standard XFCE compositor (not sure what it's called), which handles window decorations (shadow, transparency).
wait, xfce has that by defualt? I use guake >.<Yep, it's kinda hidden though. Just add a keyboard shortcut (Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts) to xfce4-terminal --dropdown.
When the dropdown appears, there's a new settings panel where you can configure the drop-down's size, transparency, etc. I don't know why it's hidden away—such a nice feature!
Post by: Sorunome on August 03, 2014, 03:50:04 pm
xfce4-terminal: Unknown option "--dropdown"
NVM, it is --drop-down
EDIT: And idk, i just use guake for now, which is pretty much the same thing-

Protip, let people know that you are being sarcastic before they have to ask.I was being sarcasm.Look at what is left of the clock all on the top of the screen.Why do you need a battery percentage app o.oTo check his battery percentage of course.
Another protip, don't be sarcastic in posts if its the only thing you post. All it does is detract from the conversation.

The waves on this wallpaper makes me wish I could have an animated wallpaper on my Windows 7 machine. Back in the Windows XP days, it was still possible to have animated wallpapers. :PYou can try Dreamscene, but I didnt have much luck when i used it.

I might check it out. My concern about third-party alternatives and custom themes is that they sometimes hide malicious stuff so after a year of use my Windows install files get corrupted for no visible reason. Also, some might be too CPU-intensive.Another option would be to use a Rainmeter widget with the same res as your desktop and set it to be on the desktop and be invisible to clicks. If you have a .gif in mind I could make a script for you.

I have pictures for all my files on my mac, and it's so organized I have trouble finding what I need :PPretty sure that means it's not organized at all :P How about "needlessly hierarchical"? (I used to do that in middle school. Any of the files I would be commonly working on would be five folders nested from the Documents folder...)
I'm a bit more minimalist now. Never any files (or any icons for that matter) on the desktop—if I want to open something, I hit Ctrl+Esc and type it in. (Like Spotlight but significantly less useful.)
Also, really proud of this theme :D It's a combination of this theme (http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Diehard+4+GTK?content=143443), a bunch of window manager tweaks (transparent window decorations and all that), and a background image I just whipped up in Gimp (because the original theme background is a dead link).

Other than the things I mentioned in the post, it's pretty much a vanilla Xubuntu desktop. XFCE is extremely customizable.

Also, is that XFCE with the default GNOME background? :P What indicators do you have there (top right corner)?
Post by: Darl181 on October 16, 2014, 08:19:39 pm
In order, there's feedindicator, (https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/Feedindicator) whatever the default network indicator's called, redshift, (http://jonls.dk/redshift/) syspeek, (http://www.webupd8.org/2014/06/syspeek-indicator-ported-to-gtk3.html) indicator-sound, indicator-messages, recent notifications (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/recent-notifications-indicator-keeps.html). Next is xfce's brightness applet, then the default power manager set to show all icons (mumble mumble something unity's indicator displaying mouse's battery instead of the one that actually matters).
Really wish there were a way to rearrange them into something that makes more sense, but can't win em all.

Really wish there were a way to rearrange them into something that makes more sense, but can't win em all.Go into Indicator Plugin settings and under Known Indicators all your active indicators are listed, from which you can arrange using the arrow buttons on the side.
Post by: Darl181 on October 17, 2014, 08:34:31 pm
It lets you rearrange some things, but it lumps "Application Indicators" into one item.Really wish there were a way to rearrange them into something that makes more sense, but can't win em all.Go into Indicator Plugin settings and under Known Indicators all your active indicators are listed, from which you can arrange using the arrow buttons on the side.
Though come to think of it I haven't tested to see if the applet listens to ordering-override.keyfile..

XFCE is great. What panel-plugins are you using? My XFCE only came with a few and I haven't been able to find any to replicate the Gnome experience...I'm not trying to replicate the GNOME experience (though I do admit GNOME is my favorite UI in a desktop so far).
My panel-plugins are DockBarX for the dock (just removed the window buttons a few days ago—oh how I'd missed using a dock), Notification Area, Indicator Panel, Network Monitor (two instances, one for Ethernet and one for WiFi), System Load Monitor (for memory and swap), CPU graph, Sensor Plugin (from xfce4-sensors, for temperature), Orage Panel Clock (moved the popup calendar to underneath the clock plugin so it makes sense), and Workspace Switcher.
Since taking that screenshot I've also added an applications menu and places menu (not whiskermenu).
A lot has changed since my last screenshot. I now run Arch Linux with XFCE.What Firefox theme is that? I've been looking for a flat one.

Thanks for the panel plugins! The Firefox thing is called "FxOpera." It's not a theme, rather an addon.Hmm, it doesn't seem to play well with dark desktop themes. That's a shame :/
Do I win the sexiest desktop awward?! ;DThat's pretty ... pretty. What DE are you using? I love the transparent menu buttons at the top of the screen.
EDIT: That's XFCE? O.O Is the clock at the top part of a screen-wide panel? If so, wouldn't the "transparent" panel cover parts of a window when it reaches the top? What's the sound panel plugin you're using?
EDIT 2: Actually, is that Gnome 3? :P
EDIT 3: New one, Numix Circle icon theme, Numix Dark desktop theme. (Yes, I paid $3 for it. IMO it was worth it.) The panel plugin icons on the right are all scrunched together and kind of awful-looking, but apparently I can't change the spacing between icons in Indicator Applet without recompiling the plugin from source O.O
The desktop background is the XFCE development background, apparently. I like it.

why all the separate gvim instances?@shmibs
Visual Memory. So I need to see everything and have it literally in my view or I get overwhelmed. So literally the clutter is better then trying to deal with multi instance things (I do use vim CtrlSpace its awesome :P)

i meant that you can have all the things up and visible within a single instance with splits and buffers, and then, instead of clicking around, you can have them all up for visual reference but do all the typing into a single window and just have it jump between buffers. see attached vidy-o
Because I've never learned how to use that feature....I think its time to reinstall gvim and get a whole new set of plugins and such....Time for a new thread~~
