So, I've been playing around customizing and fixing things

plain and outdated to me, but functional.

I like the taskbar that Microsoft introduced in Windows 7, so much so that I use KDE that offers that today. As far as I'm concerned that "launch app button that turns into a tab for that app" is the standard for modern OS ui.

Is this the pretty gui circle jerk thread?

If that's what you want it to be

i enjoy the fact that openSUSE is the only distro where Firefox's file picker shows thumbnail preview.

It's why I chose openSUSE

were you one of the people being recommended openSUSE over the last few days? if so, what made you choose it, over other suggestions? what was your expectation going in? what was your impresion of it? just curious, since I never used it and probably won't but I get good feelings about it.

idk if Xfce has a command-line tool for setting wallpaper or if it has automatic switching after set intervals built-in as an option, but I've been making some planned tweaks to what was originally a one-liner that set a random wallpaper and it's growing into a nice little thing with a "history" to go back/forward, command-line options, the ability to start/stop/adjust automatic switch intervals, etc.

a couple of weeks ago I spent an afternoon remapping my WM keybindings to extend existing commands in a somewhat logical way: Alt-F1/F9/F10 are (by default), terminal/iconify/maximize, so I set Super-F1/F9/F10 to su terminal/iconify all/maximize vertically, Super-Z was lock screen so Super-Shift-Z became screensaver settings. Mapped PrintScreen to bringing up the run dialog with "import img/" already filled in, and XF86Display to nvidia-settings so I can change them when I hook up DisplayPort. Also set up some basic tiling commands because I miss dynamic tiling but don't really want to go full autist again. And Super-H/J/K/L now switches focus l/d/u/r, vi-style. one of the things I really love about fluxbox is how simple it is to set up keybindings, and the fact that you can chain them to make really powerful stuff.

for years I've been using a custom battery monitor script that displays absolute charge and rate instead of percentage and time. gives me a more direct idea of how much duration I have left because I know how much current I normally pull during various activities and with different settings (brightness, throttling, etc.)
