It may not show much imagination, but I have stuck closely to the default. I've changed the Conky clock display to 24-hour, reduced the panel width to 32 and tailored what's on it. The result is the best-looking desktop I've ever had (IMHO). It's so good that I'm changing my long-time use of my 6 desktops. No 1 will now be Thunar, kept minimised, so this is what I see. I don't like anything on my desktop but I'll make an exception for that glorious Conky - it's goes with the wallpaper so well.

My fully updated Pre-RC1 installation.
Am in the midst of going through what I want to keep from my MX15 install, and decided that even though most of the gtk themes are no longer compatible with MX17's gtk3.22, their window manager themes were still usable and should be salvaged. The Numix-Deadwood theme is from 2014 and so the rest of it won't be compatible anymore, but the WM theme is a darker grey than the grey in normal Numix.
Didn't use Vertex's own WM theme because it's really skinny and the min/max/close buttons are tiny.

hello dolphin_oracle and everyone
love MX-17 look ri is right inside the word Horizon. Panel deskbar on left, window default Greybird mx-17, icons Paper-Mono-Dark, font default Noto Sans 10.5, Compositor On. Thank you for having the Paper icons in the repository. The usual favorite here, Tango icons look fantastic bigger and brighter than ever. As with all of MX-17 is a very crisp, sharp look. Attachment image reduced quality for forum upload.

Previous screenshot was of MX17-preRC1 on a test partition.
This is MX17-Final, with MX15's /home being preserved.
Nothing very different from the preRC1 setup, just wanted to show off the beautiful wallpaper from antechdesigns - one of his non-distro-related artistic creations.
Also to display one of my favourite conkys, adapted from something from LinuxBBQ a few years ago.

@Clidix, very cool and Manjaro-ish!
I've always liked the Numix-Circle base they use for Vertex Maia icons, but I wish the Vertex-Maia folder icons looked more like the folders from their Breeze-Maia and Breath-Maia icon sets.

Again : thx for the tip !
working on a custom version of MX17 default, with conky's
alignr and a monospaced with dotted zero
font called
monofur (this one would be the same as xfce4's panel). Still hesitating : i like
Anonymous pro too :$
Sadly, i gotta leave MX17 since i've been looking for a
systemd free OS (i've always been bad at reading contracts, especially small prints. I do enjoy most of the MX improvements so i am hoping i'll be able to install those on antiX 17.

Current WIP :
- (color-customizable-by-not-so-practical-script-sure-but-omg-so-many-icons) DamaDamas icons and shitty monofurized Conky xD and using Numix-SX-FullDark as a theme because my Dr0ne2ACID theme sux at checkboxes

Hi there,
a few more screenshots, with my #/!\ WIP /!\# GTK2/3 theme Dr0ne2ACID, and 2 home made wallpapers (1 for antiX, 1 for MX), and an aquatic ambiance (for antiX).
The font used for conky and the xfce4-panel's clocks is monofur, Jura semibold as xfce4/xfwm4 general font, ProFontWindows for the terminal.
Icons : DamaDamas, colorized (thx to a script)

Since these "nøsystemd" wp are based on a picture designed by Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy and BPRD, i enjoy his inks) i'm not sure it would be all right to submit it to the antiX/MX community. What do you think about it ?
link to the wp db :
https://wall.alphacoders.com/search.php?search=B.P.R.D.
Would it be possible to know the official font used in MX logo ? It would be useful

Re: MX-17 Screenshots

Very clever mods to the original wallpaper, k_sz! Love it that you changed the symbols on some of the cards to spell "nosystemd"!
I really love the old school hand-drawn feel of the whole thing. Goes very well with the fonts and icon set you've chosen.
If the drawing was by Mike Mignola (don't know anything about him) for the comic strip, plus the original wallpaper maker himself (TorinoGT) didn't state his licence details, then I believe the MX website can't host your very nice variation of the wallpaper. But perhaps someone else from the Dev Team might have different views on this.
For the moment we'll just have to enjoy your screenshots of these wallpapers gracing your own desktop.
But you could still create different WPs with the logo+"nosystemd" strip/panel at the bottom for MX and antiX. Like I said, that hand-drawn vibe you've got going is great.
Re: MX-17 Screenshots
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 5:53 pm
by k_sz
Yes i agree : since Mignola's work is often copyrighted - and i don't know the status of the goodies of his comics and movies - and since the modder from alphacoders.com didn' state a license, it's hard to mix this with GNU or GPL or CC.
Anyway, glad you like it ^^ it's been years since the last time i've fiddled with pix, fonts and The Gimp.
About the "nøsystemd" stuff, yes, for sure : i will be happy to - at least, try to - contribute to your teamwork :)

Love teal.
Should give attribution:
Icons are k_sz ACYLS_Cobalt downloaded from github and modified to teal color
Wallpaper is Antech's modified slightly for color and added pseudo address on envelope. (for my use only).
Conky is a modified Gotham for HDPI display with added system data.
The obvious: Panel adjusted with added items, moved horizontal and a second launcher panel added vertically

I am using compiz and it is an emerald theme, I modified Wombat grey increasing the width of the title bar and designing my own title bar buttons so that they were larger and a design I liked on an hdpi display. It is configurable as to color. You can add glow, borders of different colors, title bar transparency and other color parameters. The title bar buttons are designed to change color with a mouseover. It was a fun project.

Going full blown psychedelic.
Icons = modified ACYLS, but inheriting Sardi-Ghost-Flexible (with colour of latter changed to a lime green with Sardi-provided script. It can't do gradients, though). Now that I know of the existence of ACYLS, I realise the Sardi set is derived from that, but the Sardi guy (Eric) has added a lot more icons so it's more complete.
Start button modified from k_sz's xcf file.
Gtk Theme and WM theme = his Cobalt mod of Numix

Interesting combo!
So is this Ninja Cat something similar to the MS Office's Clippy?

I feel bad about the startbutton. Should have been the MX logo, but they were all monochrome and I wanted something colorful. But it can also be seen as a little tribute to Apple. After all they stole the GUI from Xerox and made computer history.
There is no lack of colorful MX or Linux wallpapers, but MS made two sets of wallpapers featuring a goofy looking Ninja Cat. This is the only pic where the cat is somewhat serious. After all the "Windows as a disservice" it's nice to see some fan service. Linux has Tux and Xfce has the mouse. Windows could need a mascot that brings a little joy to the platform.
I don't think people switching to Linux because Windows is bad is a good situation. Microsoft should fix Windows and people should switch to Linux because they want to. I want both Mac and Windows to become better platforms. The reason desktop Linux is as good as it is today is because developers worked hard to catch up and sometimes surpass the features offered by those platforms. So yeah, a little tribute to Microsoft and hoping they get their heads in the right place.
Clippy was annoying. Ninja cat is up to a lot of fun so similar to Tux I would say.

I like your work and I have a request... I know, should never tell an artist what to do.

Anyway, I'm going to do just that.

The startbutton is really nice, but would be better (I think) without "mx17" (more timeless) and without shadows (flat). You have done a great job with the colors. It looks more interesting than Apple's version. I'm actually a proud MX user, it's just that I like colors (old Apple logo, old Windows logo, old Ubuntu logo).

Excellent, I have visited the forum quite often recently, but somehow I missed your MX start icon thread. Now, I'm set for life with MX start icons.

I'm a very basic user when it comes to GIMP, but with your .xcf file I can make the modifications I want.
Anyway, thanks for doing the rainbow one!

I really don't know GIMP basics, so could you let me know how to remove the words ("MX17" and "linux") and shadows? I gather that one can somehow disable or remove certain layers from the xcf file? How?
Because I would certainly prefer to have my fuschia pink logo start button without those elements. Also, I had originally intended to have the logo in lime green/yellow but the words didn't stand out as well against that colour.

Let's open Gimp
(mine is translated in french, i'm not sure the following are the exact terms used in the english version, but the shortcuts between brackets are the same ) !
First step, let's
hide layers :
1/Open the Toolbox (Ctrl +B) and the "Layers" window (Ctrl + L)
2/ In the "Layers" window,
beside each layer and each group of layers, there is an eye icon. Click on the ones corresponding to the layers you want to hide (it's faster when clicking the group ones, as you can guess). When hiding the groups of layers, each hided layer's "eye" icon will become slashed so you'll know which layer has been hided. Click again on the "eye" icon to unhide if needed.

3/When you're done, select the layer with the flat logo and from the Toolbox use the "Magic wand" (U) to select the colored part of the layer.
First, i give you
the simplest and fastest method to colorize a selected area (as far as i know). There are other ways, both more precise and more flexible, to do this - for one of them, see section B.
A 1/ Select "Colors" in the toolbar and open the "Colorize" tool

2/ Play with the cursors (especially the "Hue" one) until you find the color you want.
It isn't the current case but fyi if the area is white, darken it by changing its brightness (similar method for a black area) otherwize the color won't be applied.

3/ Enjoy !
B/ 1/ Select the color White and use the "Fill" tool (Shift+B) to fill the selected area with White (this way, you'll have a clean base to fill the logo with whatever you want, from patterns to gradients or precise colors). Or (my most prefered method since it preserves the semi-transparent pixels)
use "Colors" > "Brightness/Contrast" to lighten the selected area until it becomes White.
2/ If you need a precise color (
let's say Spring green ██ - hexa code #00ff7f - since people seem to enjoy this kind of color here
and, well, only 2 more weeks before Springtime ) :
a/select "Colors" in the taskbar, then, near the bottom of the list, choose (i don't know the english term used here, sorry) the other "Colorize" tool

b/ on the bottom right of this newly opened window, click on "Custom color"

c/ in the little "HTML" field, replace the current color code with "00ff7f" (hexa code, but without the hashtag) then click on your keyboard's Tab key to apply your input.
Here could you also use the several cursors to play with Hue, Saturation, Value or/and Red, Green and Blue - that's the way i build colour charts, eg. my Cobalt Beetle theme is all build around Hue @ 197.

d/ Finally, validate to apply the color to the area you've selected (here, the colorized part of the neutral logo) and enjoy your brand new logo \o/
e/ NB : If you change your mind and decide to modify the applied color using this second method, before anything, go back in history (CTRL+Z) to return to the "White" state, as this Colorize tool uses an addition mask to apply a color and, in short terms, white is its neutral base.
f/ Both of the methods above will also work on decorated areas (like the embossed logo joined in the xcf). The brightness and saturation of the textures/reflections/patterns will be kept while being uniformly tinted.
C/ If you want to apply a gradient, it's a similar method. Start from B/ 1/ to use a white area (it's not always necessary but i like to start from a clean base) and apply the gradient of your choice to the selected area (CTRL+Shift+A to unselect

)
I hope that the above is easily understandable and that i didn't miss anything.

Modifying an icon theme isn't that difficult. I have done it, because I found a tutorial in the Linux Mint forum. Icon themes are one of the few things that don't change much. The freedesktop icon spec may get updated once in a while and every desktop is a little different. However, if you start with a recent theme as a base then the icon names should be correct so it's just a matter of replacing image files. Many files are symbolic links* (see explanation below) so you have to look in file properties to find the "real" file and change that. Here's the link:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=15305
*A symbolic link, also termed a soft link, is a special kind of file that points to another file. Unlike a hard link, a symbolic link does not contain the data in the target file. It simply points to another entry somewhere in the file system.
Those liking themes/icons resembling other OSes be sure to check out the B00merang Project:

I'm not sure I understand what you're evoking here but have you ever tried
gtk-update-icon-cache /yourspecificiconfolder followed by a deconnection/reconnection (or a [Ctrl][Alt][Backspace]) ?
System icons can be changed when the icons set :
- includes all the needed icons
- is present in /usr/share/icons/
- provides subfolders tree (and possible symlinks) compatible with your DE
- if not compatible, the output of gtk-update-icon-cache /yourdangiconsfolder will be disappointing :
Code: Select all
gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid.
- check if the hierarchy of your icons theme is understandable by your (yeah, this. this thing)
- check if *one* of your icons-OR-folder-OR-subfolder's name includes a blank space (or some alien crypted notation - never heard about ISO-mwahaha-1.3 ?)
- includes compatible icons (aka understandable format : some DE/WM can't integrate GIF, SVG or PNG,or your fridge, etc)
Accordingly to the above, even if you haven't killed a dear in February during a full Moon night while sharing indespicable rituals with 77 42th generation damned trumpguins, it should work.

Since I like my panel setup, I only change themes, icons and conky, which admittedly is not as adventurous as some of you. But I wanted to highlight contributions by various forum members:
1. wallpaper by Auro
2. gtk theme is k_sz's oomox-modded cobalt-blue (numixish) except that....
3. window manager theme is an emerald theme since I'm using Compiz right now (see the wobbly window in the screenshot!). It's Numix_Tango in Emerald Theme Manager, but I modified it to have the same "solarized" colour k_sz used for his Cobalt xfwm4 theme
4. MX start button is my "Woodstock"-coloured version of the xcf file that k_sz made for the forum
5. The "Sardi" style MX logo in the conky was made by Antechdesigns previously
https://imgur.com/KkAxIlW
Other stuff:
Icon set: Sardi-Flexible, colour changed using a script provided with the icon set.

Return of old favourites, sort of.
Icons: Evolvere Version 2.
Version 1 was the default set for SolydX when I was using it a few years ago. I liked it but it had a (deliberately) faded/washed out look so the colours didn't really pop. Later there were some variations released but even the "vivid" versions weren't very bright. Developer then went on hiatus but now he's back with the new, more colourful version! Yay!
Theme: Flatplat-like Adapta-Nokto built from source using the Adapta dev's colour-change codes.
Flatplat (now known as Materia) was the inspiration for Adapta but it itself is not fully compatible with XFCE (squashes all panel icons and whisker menu icon will be cut off). Dev is non-committal about XFCE compatibility in the future. And even if it were compatible, the newer Materia changed its cyan colour to a more muted blue after Adapta "co-opted" the cyan for its own look. So I used the Adapta script to help me get back the Flatplat look that I love. It's not exact, but the pink and cyan are the correct shades, I think.
xfwm4 theme: this is actually from Materia! Yes, strangely it has a xfwm theme even though the gtk theming is not compatible with XFCE. It's better than the Adapta WM theme which is too skinny.
The conky is modified from something from a LinuxBBQ iso long ago.

@asqwerth,
Curious question: Intelligent mode in certain modes leads to severe flickering of the panel,
until I move away and click somewhere else to make it stop.
It has presented on everything I've tried it on: netbook, laptop, old desktop using Xfce4.12.?
I seem to remember that it happened on MX16 and probably before.
I just attributed it to an Xfce bug. I think I saw a bug report on it
but maybe everyone thought the same.

@dolphin_oracle, etal,
Your comment about the ugly child came to mind
when reviewing my Imgur images.
In SalineOS (2010-2012), whose motto was,
“Because speed and stability matter.”
there was a very small forum and a single developer.
It was based on Debian Squeeze, Xfce4, backports
and some personal utilities from the developer.

But in late 2012, SOS ceased when Mr. Nordquist
could no longer spend the time to maintain it alone.
He recommended Manjaro with Xfce4 and for
the coming systemd which he felt would simplify
building and maintaining a distro for a small operation.
Manjaro was shiny new, less hassle than Arch,
but still required attention even when work called.
Spelunking Distrowatch for Xfce4 distros,
I found
MX-14 near release. It attracted me for it's similar
focus to the now defunct SalineOS,
though not so much for it's esthetic qualities :)
MX-15 continued to improve and was more appealing.
It had a new face and lots of improvements under the hood.
MX-16 had a new, shiny face and brought even
more improvements to the software.
MX-16.1 and then another...
MX-17.0
Just when you thought it couldn't get much better,
more goodness in software and esthetics.
Because speed, stability and image do matter.
MX-17.1
and one of the latest of a great choice of images...
My heartfelt thanks to all the developers, packagers,
administrators, testers, translators, forum members,
visitors and reviewers who have been instrumental
in bringing MX Linux to it's current position in the world
of FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software).

Clicking on any other icon doesn't cause it.
Thanks for the post, I guess I hadn't really paid attention

Thanks, Richard for the walk-through of MX's development.
Minor correction: the "kingfisher" edition was MX16.1. MX17 is the one with antechdesigns' beautiful landscape pic.
===========================
Flickering intelli-hide bottom panel - I seem to get it only with a bottom panel within an MX Virtual Machine (regular occurrence) or just once in a while in a real metal install if I'm running compiz.
Even for the VM bottom panel, I do wonder if it's some buggy interaction with compiz running on the host machine, because it's only recently that I installed compiz in ALL of my MX real life installs and the flickering is a recent development.
Previously compiz was just installed on one MX15 test install.

"Kingfisher" was unofficially called the "MX16 Summer Edition" by the Dev Team.
That was why the call for wallpaper submissions for 16.1 asked for cheery and colourful images.

You did pretty well.

Oddly enough I find a certain amount of beauty in your screenshot. Sometimes it can be very difficult to distinguish beauty from nostalgia.

I revisited the XFCE-Pro-D theme that paulxfce that adapted from his gnome 3 theme for XFCE. It's a lightish theme but with dark desktop panels and dark side panel for Thunar, similar to Arc-Darker. And unlike themes like Adapta, the light background is not blinding white.
See this forum thread:
viewtopic.php?p=432584#p432584
It's now at version 1.6 here:
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1207818/
Whisker menu is still white though, as he has said he is focusing on Xubuntu's XFCE which is using the gtk3 version of whisker.
MX17-xfceDarkPro_1-6-whisker.png
Since I prefer a dark menu, I copied over and modified the whisker.rc settings file that Paul.. of the Dev Team inserted into greybird-mx17 to give it the dark panels and whisker. Along the way I also added a pinkish tinge to the base colour so that the dropdown menus in grey could be seen more clearly against, say, the Thunar background.

I think originally it is for Gnome but it is working fine in Mx lInux whe the theme is installed window manager is also installed
I think this theme should be there in MX by default

The weakness of COnky Manager in MX17 is that it can't recognise conkies in the new syntax.
So for a few favourite new syntax conkies of mine, I actually convert them back to old syntax so it can run with the rest of the stuff in CM.

In principle, this is a weather rss-fed. For more days I can only recommend,
download the archive
1_accuweather. Teo explains the necessary steps wonderfully and it contains the pictures of 2015 and the new ones of 2016.
Depending on taste, it contains 10 or 11 different weather conkys. All in the Conky_Version 1.10
It is no problem to reset the syntax to 1.9. I'd be happy to help.

I honestly couldn't tell you. It's part of a wallpaper-themes package with 40 backgrounds that I've had for the past 12 years or so. I provide them with all of my setups. It's free for anyone who wants it and it can be downloaded right here from my server:
http://www.drachenbeere.de/40_wallpapers.tar.gz
The server is going to change within the next 4 to 5 weeks though, so there'll be a very brief (24 hours at most) period during which the download won't work.

Here's my oomox-generated theme created over the materia-theme base. The colour scheme (cream background, navy blue widgets and greyish-blue borders) is loosely based on an openbox theme I found on Bunsenlabs forum, called oncremmer2, which had cream backgrounds and navy blue borders and widgets. I had to lighten the border colour because in XFCE, the text colour in the WM bar follows the text colour (black) for window backgrounds, and ignores my oomox settings for text colour in window bars (beige). Those settings seem to work only when not running XFCE.
https://imgur.com/pgcQiIq
The oomox theme did not have special theming configs for whisker menu and panel so they were originally cream. I copied over greybird-mx's whisker and panel settings and modified the greybird dark grey to this blue-grey.
Materia theme is not 100% compatible with XFCE, so it still has the annoying habit of squashing all the panel icons to a smaller size and cutting off the edges of the start menu button.
But it's otherwise a workable theme.

What is this "padding" and do you know how to reduce it? I am guessing that it refers to some internal buffer zone within a border or outline?
Re: MX-17 Screenshots

Yep, exactly, specifically I mean how it wants to squish the icons. Also on my system, in my workspace indicator, the text was cut off on the workspace names "1" and "2". So there's some theme variable that's maybe too high, probably some kind of padding. I looked around briefly in the theme for it, but I've been using the Numix based option more anyway which seems to fit better on my screen.
edit-
GtkButton::inner-border in gtk-2.0/gtkrc seems to be a culprit - I changed the values from 4 to 0 and saw a nice difference in the window buttons
also
Code: Select all
}
style "button" {
xthickness = 4
ythickness = 4
bringing those values down enlarged the MX whisker menu icon

Still playing around with oomox. This is slightly modified from the preset /base16/savanna theme.
And also testing the MX Start Icons package that Dolphin_Oracle put together. Nice work, D_O!
Some icons don't work as well as others if your vertical panel is narrow. And of course the long icons only work well on horizontal panels.

OK, my recollection was flawed. I did find another set with the same vibe around the time I found ubo earlier this year (buuf was a longtime fave) but I never combined it with the other two.
It's pretty incomplete compared with the others.
Name: umicons, based on the original icons by mattahan, the creator of buuf.

On another note, I was reading your note with the To-do list in your screenshot (hope that's not too nosy of me) and noticed your idea for an "add custom repo" option in MX Repo Manager. That will certainly be useful but you just know people will use it to add tons of PPAs willy nilly, leading to lots of help threads...

Hadn't thought too much about it yet - something earlier made me wonder about it - can do it anyway in synaptic already so I guess that's one less thing to consider

It's epic. It's available online. For example here:

If you already possess an image, but want to know if there is a better version available,
www.tineye.com can help you with that. I have upgraded several low res wallpapers that way. For example I have a 16 MP version of the Windows XP wallpaper.

Exactly what I thought when I created it, etched in marble, It was plain grey originally, that's why I ended up using the marble texture to give it that Roman Century look :)

Am currently testing the new version of Thunar 1.6.15 from the MX Test Repo. As can be seen from screenshot, no problem opening my Synology Diskstation using smb. Currently playing music from said NAS. So far so good. Thumbnails of pics show up fine as well.

Yes, that's it. But in order to see it neofetch needs to be typed into the terminal and hit enter. It must be top secret on how to get it to display all the time automatically and results in the death penately if it's told how to get it to do that. Same goes for creating a spelling checker for Linux that works.

He means:

2. add the word "neofetch" after all the text already in the file, on a new line.
3. save file and close.
Try to open a terminal now and check the results.

Sure, but there is some irony here because in this case you are trying to change/adjust the text output of your terminal - the very interface into which you type commands. You probably can't avoid at least some commands in this case.
Neofetch is a CLI program that will display certain system information if you run it from within a terminal (by using the "neofetch" command). It's not part of the terminal but a separate program which you can install.
It really can't hurt to read through that section of the manual and try to grasp at least some basic ideas or concepts. If you can't understand any part, you can always ask questions here.

Back in the early 1980's I couldn't understand the command line and it's 2018 now, I still don't understand it in the 40 some odd years of trying. That's why I ask questions here.

Right, but we weren't talking about the command line. We were talking about the fact that you didn't know how to see hidden files. That answer is in the Users Manual, and finding it requires simple keystrokes:
Alt-F1
Ctrl-F
hidden files
That lands you right on top of this:
Hidden files are out of sight by default, but can be made visible via the menu (View > Show Hidden Files) or by pressing Ctrl-H
Nothing difficult about finding the answer, and nothing scary about taking care of the problem.

My second post on MX Linux Forums.
Again, it is just a screenshot of my improved desktop. Icons (Launchers) are sorted by category first and name second. First: Documents commonly used; then file managers (3) most Google services excepting Google +, then music sites opened with VLC including my favorite classical music folder on my system, then search (local files and web (4)), then social media (3), then video sites and finally a couple of weather sites.
I have added custom image files to most of them for easy recognition.
Prior to categorization of alphabetically sorted launchers I could still forget I had a link on my desktop. <:0 It seems I only have so many brain cells left and need all the help I can get. :)
I don't mind at all hitting a super key and typing in the first few letters of a program, but having most commonly used links right on my desktop is a very functional thing for me.
And custom images for the panel also, quick recognition. It use to be that the icons for Leafpad and Gedit, for example, looked exactly the same and I would forget which was which. Now a glance lets me know. No guessing or remembering. It works well for me, I've got a lot of room, and it's a great jumping off point for doing whatever I am into at that moment.
That's it. No be deal. But a very functional desktop for me.
And a question: What's the largest file (image) size I can upload?
Thanks again.
Kevin

I think, it's about 300kB per image. You can squeeze images quite a lot by saving it to jpeg, e.g. from within Nomacs viewer.
It shrinks about 50% to 80% of png size.

300 KB is correct. You can also use an image hosting service and paste the BB code they post on their site. Just ensure it is a well known legitimate site. I use Imgur.

tone can be hard to guess on the internet, I'm genuinely curious about your desktop since it is basically the polar opposite of my own. I'm not trying to make fun, insult or make you feel bad, so I do apologize if you are offended by my question.

Yes, that's a lot of green I agree. I did that on purpose. That color has uplifting properties for me, it helps inspire creative energies again, for me.
I came to Linux when MS dropped support for XP starting out with a new machine from System 76 with Ubuntu 14.04 installed. On that "unity" desktop I loved all the "shortcuts" I could put there and I'm still doing that. Why "menu" through a thing, or even hit a key and start typing if my most used apps are 1 click away. It is functional for me.
Thank you for your statements on "tone". I am not offended and am in fact open to any "options" you may care to offer up. Could you for example show me the polar opposite which I hear is easier on the eyes?

I hear a lot about 'clean and uncluttered desktop' among Linux users. And I'm always wondering why. I have all kind of shortcuts on my desktop. Shortcuts to applications, folders, shortcuts to documents... so all are available to me with only one simple single mouse click. I never understood, why it would be better any other way. I can see the point some fast typer (i'm slow at typing) can faster type in the whisker menu and get say document. But do you guys remember the names of all of the documents for example? If not, how you type in their name... etc. I don't know, to me, ton of icons just make more sense to me.

create the directory "damo-weather" and put the three files there.

I didn't remove my city etc. to make it easier for you.

Thanks for sharing those, Male! At some point the entire mx-conky-data will be reviewed and expanded, so I am very glad to see other conkies posted.
I was happy to do that. Linux/Conky lives from the exchange of users.

Can't remember where I downloaded the wallpaper from.
Modified the Conky file to add CPU Temperatures, Fan Speeds and CPU Freq for each core.
I made the panel horizontal, and used a website to add text to the start button: <b> 𝕄𝕏-𝕃𝕀ℕ𝕌𝕏 </b>
I added a top panel which is self-hiding. I've got a little transparency in the non-current window.
The Genmon on the bottom panel shows the CPU temperature when Conky is covered up. A pop-up window adds each individual core and the fan speeds.
One of the nice things about MX Linux is that it makes it easier to prettify XFCE. It's probably the most feature-filled desktop outside of KDE whilst also being light, but it's normally rather prosaic and uninteresting to look at. The MX guys have given it a great makeover!

Was repairing the accuweather scripts from TBG - thanks, male!
The horizontal conky is from something found on the Manjaro forum, and there's a tiny radiotray conky with loutch's script.
Emerald theme is a modified PintBlueMix that's less flat and with more adapta-ish colours.
Wallpaper is from Karl Schneider's Obsidian series:

Florence would be nearly stationary then. A really good visual and a very nasty storm. One query, at the right hand end of the panel data are a couple of temperatures, Celcius and Fahrenheit. They do not match. 7 C is about 44 and a half F. What is the 57 F ?
I see hurricane Leslie in mid-Atlantic but it is moving NE and will probably fizzle out
Re: MX-17 Screenshots

Unrelated to the image. 7 C is the processor temp. It is an AMD and a reference temperature 57 F is the current outside temperature.

To connect to the wonderful screenshot of richb...
until the beginning of 2018 you could do something like that with Conky.
S11 wrote about it:
World Time Date & Forecast - CCCC: S11, ragamatrix, Habitual & TeoBigusGeekus
Habitual wrote the daylight.sh script that gets the daylight/cloud cover image: /media/5/Conky/images/world_1600.jpg
- in 2010 - it's old, still works.
I found the a simple weather site in China (Today's Hi/Low, simple condition) and the 'data collection' script was done by Teo: majorcities
draw-bg.lua does the fake beveled edge.
conky ${tztime} gets the time for each location
${if_match} compares the date of each ${tztime [place] %d} with ${tztime NZ %d} (New Zealand) to display colour for the dates of the two days.
A whole bunch of ${goto xxx} commands with a few ${voffsets xx} to fine tune things
what still looked like last September2017 (By the way, that was Hurricane Irma.)
Unfortunately this has been changed on the website and TBG ingenious script can no longer retrieve the temperatures worldwide.
Map, clouds and time are still ok.

Conky at top-right is slightly adapted from forum member male's squarish weather conky (thanks!).
Conky below that is "colours-conky", a conky I downloaded long ago from who knows where, but
www.NoobsLab.com is cited in the conky itself.
And there's a tiny radiotray conky at the bottom from a script by loutch.

Nice theming.
Not sure about the icons, though!

[clarification - elementary icons are generally nice, but I find their colours a little washed out. And these brown coloured folders (from the new Xubuntu?) are even more washed out than the blue ones]
I've been enjoying playing with the blurring effect in KDE Neon (Plasma 5.14+). Very cool. Esp if you use a Kvantum theme with such effects as well. I use the darker version of this, KvGlass, since I like darker themes.
I also turned on blurring in Konsole for added effect.

I particularly like the Tweak's Amiga icons and installed them. The folder icon is very nice and I really like the muted blue. A nice feature is the wifi connection icon in the notification area puts a "badge" on the icon when my VPN is connected. Some but not many icon sets do that.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks. The VPN icon is from Astrill VPN which I use and not a part of the Tweak's Amiga icon set. Astrill VPN installs easy and works very well on MX Linux. I forgot to mention is I created the application menu icon using Gimp.

No matter which icons or theming I use it's the same badge that came with Astrill VPN.

Nice. :) I have those icons set up sometimes. Nice theming too.
Thanks. I personally don't like the look of Windows 10 a lot. Maybe it's clean and aesthetic in some way. I think it's too black or white, too much contrast. I like gradients, less saturated colors and more roundness. Some of the Windows 10 icons remind me a little of the Windows 95/98 era.

I have been playing with KDE and Kvantum, but I think it's easier to get work done in Xfce so it will remain my main desktop.
Plasma: Glassified
Kvantum: KvGlassWhite...
Nice theming.
Not sure about the icons, though!

[clarification - elementary icons are generally nice, but I find their colours a little washed out. And these brown coloured folders (from the new Xubuntu?) are even more washed out than the blue ones]
Thank you. I got the icons from Elementary-Xfce on Github. Elementary project (the distro) has replaced their blue folder icons with these new "manila" colored folders. I like them, soft on the eyes.

Last night was "let's use colour-change scripts" day for me.
I ran the Any Colour You Like Simple (ACYLS) icon tool to generate the icon set in a orange-to-purple colour gradient and with a wood grain texture.
https://github.com/worron/ACYLS
The fallback icon set for missing icons was Sardi-Ghost-Flexible, and I used the provided colour-change script to get the deep pink colour (I tried paler, more orangey-pink tones but I didn't like them).
The gtk theme is Adapta Nokto, but which was generated directly (compiled) through its provided autogen.sh script.
Instructions here:
https://github.com/adapta-project/adapta-gtk-theme
There are additional options you can tag on when compiling, in order to change the colour of certain elements. But it's a very involved and inconvenient way to get things done because the names for the set of 4 themes that get built (light and dark themes plus their respective Eta versions) remain the same and you then have to rename various files and symlinks within the 4 theme folders and the theme itself, if you want them to co-exist with the original theme.
Too much trouble, especially now that Adapta is no longer being developed in its original form. I did a few Adapta variants previously to try to emulate the original Flatplat look, but now I'd just use oomox with Materia as the base.

Building a light as possible 386 PAE for Panasonic CF-U1. 1Gb-2GB ram. The "touchpad" on the U1 is the screen itself.
The liveUSB version of this is on an old 4Gb stick. Firefox wanted 16% of that so deleted firefox and tbird. Palemoon used 8% +-.
Here's a version I'm tinkering with using Toughbook CF-54. Getting use to having a dock so chose the stupidly simple one (Plank). Added Slingscold.
Top panel is normally hidden. I'm running it at 80% since muscle memory wants to go to the upper right corner to kill a page and that was turning on top panel. XFCE icon is upper left so the XFCE menu opens over there.
Cya.

Spent hours messing around with style settings, themes, icons and so on. I really don't like bright / white screens as they tend to bother my eyes. I set everything I could to dark & darker. Long story short - I didn't like it. Everything was just to dark. It was hard to distinguish one window from another. Especially the tops of the windows. Going to start over and lighten everything up.
I have four panels .. The top panel being the main panel with the applications menu. Panel-2 on the left that acts like a dock for launching applications. Panel-3 at the bottom is emulation applications, games and so on. Panel-4 was supposed to be for launching web-links / web-shorcuts. If I drag a url from the address section to the bookmarks toolbar, I get a functional link plus the "icon" for whatever site. The icon also lands on the toolbar. If I drag the link to the desktop I get a link / launcher, but no icon. So, I assign icons to the links. Trouble is - If I make any changes to the style / icon theme, it tends to mess up or even break the assigned icons.
Will add another screenshot after I get things lightened up. The panels are usually hidden.

# . ~/.bashrc to load the modified bashrc
# QUOTE from
#
# To complement and contrast the two most popular answers, . ~/.bashrc and exec bash:
# Both solutions effectively reload ~/.bashrc, but there are differences:
# . ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bashrc will preserve your current shell:
# Except for the modifications that reloading ~/.bashrc into the current shell (sourcing) makes, the current shell and its state are preserved, which includes environment variables, shell variables, shell options, shell functions, and command history.
# exec bash, or, more robustly, exec "$BASH"[1], will replace your current shell with a new instance, and therefore only preserve your current shell's environment variables (including ones you've defined ad-hoc).
# In other words: Any ad-hoc changes to the current shell in terms of shell variables, shell functions, shell options, command history are lost.
#
# Depending on your needs, one or the other approach may be preferred.
#
# [1] exec bash could in theory execute a different bash executable than the one that started the current shell, if it happens to exist in a directory listed earlier in the $PATH. Since special variable $BASH always contains the full path of the executable that started the current shell, exec "$BASH" is guaranteed to use the same executable.

Padding in terminal emulators :
Before
After

It works for emulators like xfce4-terminal and Terminator but not for rxvt-like ones which might be customized differently.
Add the following lines to
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (create gtk.css if it doesn't exist) :
Code: Select all
VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
padding: 10px;
}
You can exchange 10
px for other values, and even choose
em instead of pixels as unit so the padding will vary with your monospaced font :
Code: Select all
VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
padding: 1em 1.5em 1.5em 2em;
}

Click on the Attachment tab at the bottom of the post and then add files. There is a 300K limit on file size. Another method I like to use for large files like a screenshot of the whole desktop is to use an imaging service. They will give you a BB code to paste to your post that will link to your image.

My MX17 pre-RC install (fully updated of course).
Just trying out TeoBigusGeekus' Wunderground weather script and conky, since the Accuweather script has to be changed so often. But it was in new-syntax conky, so I had to manually convert it to get it to show up in Conky Manager, and then I had to adjust the positioning of all the weather images for my screen. Needless to say, I only bothered to do one.

I went through all our conkies with the new app, and it did well. Running on MXFB it had no problems with correcting transparency, of course.

Still pretty happy with my two MX17 installs. This install I use with compiz including emerald window decoration (the other install just uses xfwm + skippy-xd for the windows overview function).
Application gtk theme is an oomox tribute to an old theme "crocus" from crunchbang or bunsenlabs forum, while the folder icon colours were also done in oomox using the provided Suru-theme base.

Doesn't MX-17 auto-update itself to MX-18.3 (except for the kernel and wallpapers) as they're both based on Stretch?

Yes, you can see in my conky that it states MX18 but the date of release is still Dec 2017.
But I think my setup/theming for boot/splash, and any other configs generated in home upon first install would be what was set up in MX17 (subject to any changes I've made) instead of MX18.
Thus I'm posting in the MX17 and not MX18 thread. I never installed the official release of MX18 on my machines, except for some test VMs.
