any way to disable titlebars in bblean without ahk?
>>1739370
Set an exclusion if you want to remove it for one specific window or just disable the bbleanskin.
Christ, doesn't nanami-tan tell you this?
First time ricing.
Any tips?
>>1739380
i know that. i was wondering wether bblean could disable it by itself and i just didn't know.
>>1739095
Thanks pal.

Pretty default, I think it would look a lot better if the foobar greys matched the other ones
Still as shitty as ever.
Nothing has really changed.
Uggh I have the foundation for some sick rice but I'm too fucking lazy.
On another note, QT isn't working for me. I get:
---
Error at line 36.
Line Text: class monitor{
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.
The program will exit.

What do?

I was making a wallpaper but it didn't come out that good. I didn't want to spend 2 hours rendering chinese cartoon girls.
Windows 8.1. I know I could probably do better with the colors, but I'm loving this. Still trying to see how I can get cmdfetch to work. any tips?
>>1739599
Do you have it under /Users/YourNameHere/CMDFetch
That's the common one that people run into.
>>1739601
Oh yes that was my mistake, thank you.
I appreciate it.
>>1739620
No problem. Nice desktop by the way.
>>1739512
Hey, can you share your colorschemes?
I hope I'm doing it right.
Anyway I think that is impossibile to change the icons when the buttons are set to never combine.
>>1739659
This is pretty good.
>>1739659
you can use blank icons to hide the icons but it's a pain and you might as well use bblean
>>1739541
i guess if you like looking at the same desktops 5 times every single day with various pedophiles posting them.

>>1739370
Yes it actually is possible when using bbleanskin. Try setting negative margins by editing your style via notepad.
>>1739556
A linux user doesn't have to try very hard when they can literally just copy and paste someone elses configurations. Unless of course you're the type of user who has to google every shell command.
>>1739678
If you disable blur, your corners would no longer be round right? That little blur trick with Aero always ticked me off with round corners, I can't unsee the little fuzzy triangles.
>>1739714
What do you use for window tiling?
>>1739753
Gridmove, which is basically just a compiled AHK script.

Hey guys, what's a good minimal (borderless) video player?
>>1739933
mpv
Most video players have some kind of borderless/minimal viewing mode; but, I agree with Kori. MPV or MPC-HC are probably your best bets. MPC on windows, MPV else.

you can make mpc-hc borderless too by hitting 1

Sure. I'm on windows 8.1 as well, however I'm still bit of a ricing noob.

Foobar: Skin is an edit by me
Border-less windows: AHK Script I had found on Nanami-tan+ I have Aeroglass installed to get the transoparent looking borders

Try googling the error, from the first line"wmic command not found".
Question one "What is wmic?"
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/wmic.mspx?mfr=true
Question two "Why can it not find the wmic command?"
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm#1
Question three "Attempt to index a nil value?"
I'd wager line 179 of cmdfetch.lua points to the use of explorer. The script cannot index or find the value because wmic is not pathed to properly in your system enviroment table, or does not exist. Once the script is able to use wmic, it will be able to index the value (probably in relation to your visual style).
Also make sure you have the latest version off of github for good measure.
I can offer you an older version without the meters on my github (xDemonessx/dotfiles)

get a decent rainmeter, the default looks disgusting, get rid of that horrible start orb. you might not like small taskbar and small icons judging that you have such big shit but it looks better just sayin.
>>1740868
Things are all over the place, put them in one place. You can also put those in that big taskbar. If you can't reduce those at least get rid of the rounded corners.
>>1740868
Be more consistent with textures. The wallpaper gives off a shiny metallic look but the taskbar and everything else a dull gray or a gradient.

WHS Panel Mod crashes for me. I installed it normally and I didn't change it, it just starts out like this. Anyone have any idea why?
Wonder how quickly I'm going to go blind and/or get sick of this color scheme, Steam is still a wip obviously.
>>1740868
Unload all of those skins, make your taskbar smaller.

Is foobar installed in portable mode? Did you delete the file the read me told you to delete? Other than that or you didn't install WHS correctly that's all I can think of.

>Is foobar installed in portable mode? Did you delete the file the read me told you to delete? Other than that or you didn't install WHS correctly that's all I can think of.
It is portable, and that file was never there in the first place. I installed WHS the same way as any other component.
>>1740916
You'll get sick of it very quickly considering how bad of a color it is. You could always tint your grey color by turning up the red value in it.

I have this problem with certain VS. I could try experimenting with the css later. Maybe Noha knows how to fix it, though.

There's a good chance that if you want it, someone before you has also wanted it. Reverse image search - this request has been fulfilled before.
well, I tried a smaller taskbar and unload all the rainmeter skins (just can't find one to this theme) also changed the visual theme

How is that band below the adressbar in your file explorer called? The one saying "Organise" and stuff.
Any way to delete it?
>>1741257
That's called the Command bar.
A way you could hide it is by adjusting the shellstyle.dll in your visual style folder through a resource hacker. If you Google it, you can find a guide on how to do it.

>>1741302
Maybe, I'm not sure. I haven't looked into it too much. I do know that there are pre-made shellstyle.dll files available that have already applied the lines of code.
You could also look for alternatives to explorer.exe for file management.

I did it for Windows 8 before, should be fine on 8.1.
Ricing on 8/8.1 is not that different from Windows 7; the visual styles are different, sure, but there's a style builder for it. bbLean is the same. If bbLean is installed as a shell, the Metro UI won't start, making you unable to change a few settings that rely on it, such as connecting to a different wifi access point or changing into plane mode or whatever.
Are there any ahk scripts for removing just the titlebar/caption of a window while leaving the borders there?

Make a Firefox CSS theme like mine. Apply it to Firefox/(your selected fork).
Make an AIMP3 skin like mine. Apply it.
Install bbLean and make a theme like mine. Apply it.
Install MacType, select the built-in LCD profile. Apply it.
Install HexChat, change colors in the gtkrc file on xDemonessx's git. Apply it.
I think that's pretty much it. Up to you whether or not you'll use AIMP3 or my visual style, which is not shown in my screenshots because I style everything but Pale Moon with bbLeanSkin.
>>1741596
>>1741593
>>1740126
My bad, only now have I understood what you said.
The "brief guide" remains the same. Ricing on Windows is pretty much Visual Style Editing /+ bbLean /+ Firefox CSS /+ font rendering /+ Rainmeter [etc]. Mine's just Visual Style Editing + bbLean + Firefox CSS + AIMP3 + HexChat + Explorer tweaking...
Okay, I realize now it seems like a lot, but it's pretty simple once you get to it, patiently, of course.

I would have thought that that is explained in some part of nanami-tan.info. Failing that, a quick google search is always recommended.
Go to about:config and search 'newtab' then replace the URL value with the location of your startpage HTML file (file:///C:/Start Page/my start page.html)

This is driving me crazy and I can't seem to find out where I'm messing up or what I'm missing. Why is my explorer window always coming out like this, as opposed to something like the one on the right?
I'm patched, currently using Case theme. I know how to change the library icons, I'd just like to get rid of the ugly black bar where the search function was, and the title bar if possible. Something to go with the foobar theme I have below. FAQ's and google haven't done much to help me.

How does one install a Steam skin? I'm trying to install Deshou's right now. I replace all the files in the Steam directory, but when I start up Steam, it updates and presumably restores the new files to the original ones. So I guess what I'm asking is how do I prevent it from doing that?

Dead wrong.
Anyone using bblean knows why sometimes the right-click menu on tasks doesn't work/seems disabled?
For instance, right-clicking Firefox shows this menu, but right-clicking AIMP does nothing. There are some other tasks that do this but I haven't found out why yet. It's pretty infuriating when you just want to close a task without having to reach for the keyboard.

What visual style are you using? I'm having issues finding a nice transparent-ish visual style for 8.1
Anyone know how to get rid of the borders around my Firefox and the black rectangle in the upper right? I tried removing the buttons in the corner, but this doesn't look any better.
Ignore everything else, I've barely started doing anything.
Is there a way to get large taskbar icons on Windows, but keep remove the date from the taskbar clock? I really just want the time instead of the whole date.
