Can someone recommend me something like Openbox but for Windows? I'd love to have Arch but I really need Windows for what I do
Aqua =w=
Cinnamon is fine too
Desktop --> KDE because comfy.
Laptop --> only i3 because I only use it for programming.
>>2010552
what theme?
>>2013499
anon, cherry bomb sux
Used to use i3, but herbstluftwm is much better because of it's "frames" feature. Also seems faster.

How are you guys able to use bbzero ?
I'm new to ricing and was looking to get a nice thin text-based taskbar. So someone on another thread told me to get BBzero.
But man it just fucks up my W10 bad. It crashes, glitches, and I don't understand how it works.
I just want a taskbar :'(
>>2020427
Not understanding how it works is how everyone starts out. It's certainly not tested and used as much as explorer.exe so crashes are to be expected. Here's what my desktop looked like back when I was using bbzero
>>2020430
I can see that :)
I hope to achieve something close to what you posted someday

Im sorry if this isnt the place, IM REALLY SORRY ;_;
I want to install arch on a macbook, but theres stuff that you can recommend for begginers? I know you need to install your own set up like a task manager and stuff. I hope i dont bother anyone and thanks.
>>2021264
Honestly, just install Antergos or Manjaro (I use Antergos), because they're almost a complete, easy graphical install. Then, you can install whatever desktop you want, like i3, i3-gaps with i3blocks for example.
what does a desktop enviroment change? im running win10 enterprise and would like to know what im getting into before fucking with stuff.
>>2021346
Looks, feel and whatnot. If you're comfortable and feel great with what you have, then great. Also, quite obviously, Linux DEs will be different from Windows. Good examples of what looks you can achieve are on (please don't hate on me) the unixporn subreddit for reference. Also, do more research if you do wanna change stuff up.

Ey i3 fags tell me something
I used to be an i3 fag as well back in the day but I was using it for my laptop which was a perfect choice
Never actually got to see how it handles 2 monitor setup. Is it ok or does it turn into some sluggish dragging bullshittery after 10 hours of trying to set it up?
I'm fine with gnome. though I usually use MATE. either or. No experience with stuff like i3. and I don't care for KDE
>>2029981
What color schemes do you recommend? I tried fiddling around a bit but I didn't find anything appealing and readable.
>>2029989

Also if that's mpd can you tell me how you got it working? I'm stuck on "Failed to open /home/user/.mpd/database: No such file or directory".
>>2031093
I'm running MPD on windows and NCMPCPP on WSL. You can run MPD on WSL too, but you have to jump through a few hoops to get audio working on WSL. Anyways that error occurs because MPD has not been pointed to a directory containing a another directory called "playlists". Also the current build of MPD for windows seems to crash on windows 10 when you try to connect to it, unless you run it in windows 7 compatibility mode.
KDE is best DE.
>>2031118
th- that's a high-resolution desktop, anon
>>2031106
Have you gotten mpd to work on WSL before though? I've already done the pulseaudio workaround to get audio from WSL but mpd can't seem to create its database file, I've made sure the folders have their correct permissions as well.
>>2031130
What's also strange is that everything else exists and are detected including the playlists folder.
>>2031130
>>2031132
I definitely got audio working in WSL, but now that I think about it I don't remember if I actually got MPD working. I think I had some issues with the db file too. It was a while ago so I don't really remember the specifics. I'll have to revisit that because I don't think there's a way to get the NCMPCPP visualizer working on the windows version of MPD because it requires a fifo output.

I also experimented with bblean a few years ago but forgot about it completely. How's bbzero? I read it's discontinued atm.
>>2032114
bbzero kind of sucks on windows 10, id try it for yourself for a few days and if you have a problem disable it. also uxstyle is safer than ultra ux (unless its creators update)
>>2032115
>bbzero kind of sucks on Win10
That's what I expected. Only reason I'm giving it a shot is because the anon I replied to is using win10.
Using an old laptop with win10 to see if I can get it working. I'm running into problems with ShellON, though. Says there's a registry exception preventing it from setting data for the shell.
>>2032120
uxstyle, never heard of shellON before but it looks long abandoned
>>2032122
I meant what DE are you using, but if you're using ux, what theme is that? And yeah, it's long, long abandoned.

I feel like every other distro is bloated with shit I don't care for. With Arch I can control exactly what and why the system does anything and what packages are running when. For me it's way easier to grab arch and install everything I use instead of getting any other distro and uninstalling the packages I don't like.
>>2032197
Let me know how it goes
>>2032196
uxstyle doesnt do anything visually until you use a custom vs, it just patches windows to make custom vs possible to use
>>2032219
I know. That's why I was asking what VS you're using, but I guess you just made your own instead of getting one from online.
>>2032198
Most distros have a minimal install that lets you start from a pretty bare bones system. Not telling you not to use Arch, but there are ways of doing more or less the same thing with Debian or Ubuntu.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1I63wGcvU4&t=1s follow these, they will get you started.
Also Install i3 gaps and remove the title bars.
>>2032576
I've seen that video before and I know he doesn't talk about i3 gaps. Do you have a guide on installing i3 gaps? I've tried before but maybe I wasn't doing it right. Do you install it after regular i3, or are you meant to not install the regular i3 at all?
>>2032587
The only difference between configuring regular i3 and i3-gaps is the couple of lines regarding the gaps. So you can follow this guide even if you're using i3 gaps.
As for installing i3-gaps it kind of depends. First of all, i3-gaps overwrites i3, so you can install i3 followed by i3-gaps. But it doesnt really matter as far as i know.
Actually getting i3-gaps on your system depends on what distro you're on. Manjaro has a package in their repository as well as an i3-gaps spin if you want everything set up for you. Arch has it in the AUR, but for most other distros you'll probably have to get it from github.
https://github.com/Airblader/i3
I'm not particularly good at linux, but i recently swapped from manjaro i3 to ubuntu, and i literally just copy pasted the dependencies followed by the compile stuff on this page; https://github.com/Airblader/i3/wiki/Compiling-&-Installing. Dont know how well this works on other distros, but on ubuntu it was fine.
>>2032587
It depends on your distro, but it isn't overly hard and it is well worth it.
Just don't forget to add the actual gaps exclusive settings to your config and then wonder why it doesn't work!
Does anyone have the video of the guy that recorded the video of how to rice your desktop for desktop thread /g/
I think it's been removed from youtube (or at least i can't find it)
>>2032446
This is the next iteration. i3-gaps and no titlebars like >>2032576 suggested.
>>2032618
Looks a lot better.
I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this, but /r/unixporn is pretty decent for picking up some tricks when it comes to ricing i3. It's expected of people to post their dotfiles along with their rice, so its a lot easier to learn from there than it is here.
>>2032619
Most stuff here and on /r/unixporn are edgy dark themes, so it's pretty hard to find a good light theme. Besides that, I don't want to invest too much time in ricing. I'll just keep monitoring for better themes than I'm currently using.
What I have right now is fine by me. The content is light and I there's a clear difference between windows and text/code.

Can you walk me through the installation of W10 themes?
I've tried installing VS from her but they never work. Some aspect of the UI is always broken. Do you do anything besides installing ThemePatcher, the fonts, and changing the registry before you move the theme into resources?

Jesus you type just like the retards there
Do you have to restart after installing i3-gaps?
feels like it does nothing after installing and don't know how to enable it.
>>2033069
you need to atleast restart i3 and place ur gap size in config (https://github.com/Airblader/i3/blob/gaps-next/README.md)
Any suggestions? Color scheme is bland atm before I find the next pape im gonna stick with.
