MX Linux Forum

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.)

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.

The background is a view at the city of Deventer (The Netherlands).

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