MX Linux Forum

Hi

I'm down with the flu this week and kinda brain-dead so I'm doing random delirious ideas.. Since Papirus is such a dominant Icon theme especially for MX I had an idea for a multi-part Modular conky using the Papirus device Icons with overlaid text... I'm not overly gifted in the ways of Conky but I started with a quick example with the CPU Icon..
Might be interesting with the memory and HDD Icons etc. for those various tasks... *shrugs

If anyone else wants to take it and run go for it!

Meh...

Not sure what to say, this is a rough proof... Need a Papirus-y looking wallpaper to really sell it I think, I don't have much in the way of those kind of Desktop BG's.. Need to polish more and then I'll put it out for further testing Each Icon is a mini conky so they can be arranged however you want... I'll probably make at least a vertical and horizontal layout.. Still working on a battery one for laptops but I don't have a battery on this machine.

@AVLinux nice idea, interested to see the "polished" version.

Oh no, the Papirus King is watching...

Definitely needs some nice rounding from @ceeslans handy lua script.. I have a big display so they're prolly too big now. They'd probably be huge on a 1920x1080 laptop. Back to the drawing board I guess..

btw, I use a laptop with a 1366x768 screen...

You know like the Dead Sea scrolls! Like something out of the Ark of the Covenant... Oh wait... That's too Papirus-literal..,

I'm picturing something like the Papirus Icons themselves, flat, but modern not a photographic picture of something but more like blocky colors, probably with a blue base but other colors as well, not too bold but not too muted, not pastel-y or watercoloured I'm sure @Melber knows what I mean, he's probably designed 20 or so to go with his snazzy GTK theme (and maybe yours too!). You know the kind of wallpaper something like Solus Linux would use..

If I didn't absolutely detest the whole notion of AI art I'm sure that would make a good training statement..

Check out Pexels.
My days of using a search engine is over and I only use this site for wallpaper now.


Here's my newest wallpaper I found yesterday. Blue can be so soothing.

Ha! Well... this is probably NOT what your after, but I will submit it anyways.. it does fit a few of those things.
