GUI customization thread

what's the point of customization? just making everything worse and less uniform?

a nice guy on /g/ helped me make a shell extension for windows that's basically "execute (command) in this directory"
used it to make a "Play All" function in MPV

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\Play All (mpv)\command]
@="C:\\Programs\\mpv\\mpv.exe *"

>>60090340
yeah sure

>>60090340
>less uniform
Maybe you should take a look at color scripts, you can use them to make it so whenever you change your wallpaper your theme's colors change based on it.
You could also just use neutral colors.

To have a system that's personally decorated and configured to your tastes

You must be a Windows guy. I know you guys don't have much choice in that regard. So you will never understand that feeling of having a system that's truly yours

Ask yourself if you're really doing well for yourself there.

Yeah, OS doesn't matter that much it's mostly tied to the user's preference.
I find file renaming scripts really useful if I were you I'd add such option to your explorer context menu.

I wish this OP was actually real, and not just an excuse to make the same retarded thread with the same autists masturbating over their desktops. Phone threads on /w/, which are basically the same thing but for phones, are legitimately fun to read and look at, because there are always new setups, and people actually reply and give feedback. This is just pure attention whoring and faggotry.

>>60090801
As opposed to autists circlejerking over muh seekrit club. I don't even post anything on either of these threads, but at least there are genuinely useful comments and resources for phones, while with desktops I'm better off just trying to figure shit out on my own.

>>60090836
phone threads are nothing but normies jerking each other off for arbitrary numerical ratings, at least desktop threads are entertaining

I feel like the CSS threads are basically good desktop threads in disguise. Maybe the linux generals as well when people start sharing scripts.

>>60090848
I'm not talking about ratings at all, I mean actually useful resources and tips. Not even commenting on the quality of the stuff either, just that it seems like a type of thread for people who have the same common interest, which is ricing shit, while desktop ones are just people who are interested on stroking dicks. The fact that it's basically the same few people who attention whore on private IRC/Discord servers and tripfags already say a lot about what goes on. I'm genuinely curious about what you find entertaining on these threads, because they're devoid of any actual content.

UxStyle is outdated since Creator's Update.

Does anyone know any w10 updated themes that change the title bar? I hate the default one

>>60091056
I guess the solution to this would be just messing with system icons to change the min/max/close buttons and changing system colors, I think you could use a font like Adobe blank to "remove" the text in the titlebars as well, if that doesn't work I think you can change the color of the titlebar text to be the same as the titlebar in regedit.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>60107665
>>60107683
Yes yes, I'm well aware that it's a meme. I wanna see what the meme looks like in one of my Linux VMs anyway. So. Whatcha got?

>>60107696
It's not a meme IF:
-you use your keyboard more than your mouse
-you want only minimal packages on your system
-you want something that is easy to run with a color script

>>60107713
All of which are things I'm interested in. So do you have any suggestions?

>>60107696
dwm and i3 are reasonable out of the box

i think awesomewm is best, but it requires a lot of config

the purpose of tiling should be obvious to anyone who programs

>>60107754
Yup, and that's what I had in mind. Thanks, I'll look into those three.

>>60107750
basically there are 2 families. the i3 family is based on "splitting" the screen, like vim or tmux. this means the windows form a tree hierarchy

the dwm/awesome family is based on ordering the windows in a list, and then organizing them according to some predefined algorithm. i prefer this because it minimizes the amount you will ever have to play with window positions. people who like to play with window positions usually prefer i3

>>60107792
