  • This, and other thought provoking commentary in this month's upcoming edition of "DUH!!!".

  • I should have mentioned, the background image is from the finale of Loki. In Norse mythology, it's the Yggdrasil tree.

  • Thanks ,

    Fixed now :)

  • For some reason, the formatting is not being preserved here in my cut-and-pasted script. If you can't untangle it, let me know.

  • I added a little .css file " .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css" copied below. (there's actually a couple approaches I took, the one I'm using here is not commented out).

     
        
    /* Two different approaches given below
       both valid but with slightly different
       behaviour
    */
    
    /* This first approach aggressively radiuses
       everything, even items within the panels
       themselves.
    */
    
    /*.xfce4-panel {
       border-bottom-left-radius: 16px;
       border-bottom-right-radius: 16px;
       border-top-left-radius: 16px;
       border-top-right-radius: 16px;
    } */
    
    /* This approach is not as aggresive as above.
       Will need to add some transparent seperators
       on either end for the radius to show.
       (16 px for full radius at my current settings)
    */
    
    .xfce4-panel#XfcePanelWindow {
       border-radius: 16px;
    }
    @import 'colors.css';
    
      
  • I feel XFCE is under-rated. It has the reputation for being "dated", but I find it pretty flexible.

  • I like this overall setup for Ultra-Wide monitors. The icon set is Kora-Grey (part of the whole Kora icon pack on gnome-look). The overall theme is Material-Black-Colors (using the Pistachio-BE option here), also on gnome-look. To do the Date - Time display they way I have, I put the clock widget on twice. Once showing only the date, the other showing only the time. Clicking the date brings up Thunderbird open to the Calendar tab. Clicking the time open Thunderbird on the Email tab. To make the panels rounded, I did add a small .css file in the gtk-3 folder. Can show you what I did if you're interested.

    Current XFCE setup

    Giving Plasma 6 a try

  • I probably should look at what else is out there. Hyprland is my first go at a tiling window manager/compositor. The overall graphics and presentation is what grabbed my attention in the first place. The recent "kerfuffle" on Discord was a bit off-putting though.

    Going more minimalist with Hyprland

  • The upper right is set to always stay on top, which works well when you move the window buttons to the "MacOS" side of the window. Lower left is just my Status Tray. Upper left is Whisker Menu, Notifications, Audio Controls, and stacks open applications as icons. It takes up very little space. Oh and, for the upper right panel, clicking on the date opens Evolution in Calendar mode, clicking on the time opens it in Email mode.

    More playing with XFCE

  • Wallhaven.cc or deviantart is where I typically find my backgrounds

    Further refinements to my latest XFCE rice...

    XFCE with just a teensy little gtk.css file to round the panel corners

  • One of my all-time favorite wallpaper finds (LINK: https://wallhaven.cc/w/g8xlxd). The Waybar and Hyprland window borders are color sampled directly from the wallpaper itself. The other
