MX-18 Screenshots

[scottr954]

I've reinstalled MX a few weeks ago and did things slightly differently this time. Two panels, one on the left containing the menu button, disk monitor applets, notification area, and launchers for my most commonly-used apps; one on the bottom with window buttons in the middle, and the weather app, clock and Show Desktop app on the right. I decided that having everything on just one panel made it too busy and crowded. It's nothing fancy but it works for me. I tried docks instead of the bottom panel but I don't like them as well, plus a panel gives me a place to put the clock where I can use the large LED font.

(That's my customized version of the BBQ Digital Colours conky. Again, nothing fancy, but it tells me what I want to know about my system.)

Looks good!

My current desktop (numix-icon-circle, arc-theme and Roboto fonts) :

I added Cairo Dock to the bottom, put the main panel on top, then did not mess with the settings in Whisker Menu. Both the panel and dock disappear when I don't need them. Just think of an Elegant Elementary desktop, with no systemd, LOL. Very fancy indeed.

Flr6675, nice. Especially like the wallpaper.

This is my desktop with Docky, Adwaita and XFCE-elementary icons theme.
The background is a view at the city of Deventer (The Netherlands).
The photo was shot from a road bridge over the river IJssel.

You may get rid of that shadow under your panel in >settings>Window Manager Tweaks>Compositor: by unchecking Show shadows under dock windows.

The quality of that bg image is phenominal. Would you mind sharing where you got it and what size it is? Thanks!
