ah and double clock is for when main screen is busy with stuff

>>6361793
>>6361794
significant improvement over last time

>>6361797
Thanks!

Also got around to install a decent theme and a sweet start page, still think it could use some improvements though.

I really like the visualizer so I think I'll stick with it but any other suggestion would be nice!

>>6361793
remove that visualizer, it's just as bad as the honeycomb icons.

Please excuse my weeb, but I'm not sure what to put in the bottom right. An image maybe, but what's a viewer that can fit that small window?

>>6362110
I don't know why my images have this darker colored look to them but my actual desktop is much brighter.

>>6362124
is brighter than that even possible? jesus christ.

>>6362124
>>6362145
Perhaps I should've worded this better haha, I mean not brighter, but the background color is way off from my actual desktop. The screenshot leans toward the purple side while it's supposed to be a pastel blue lol.

Or maybe it's my monitor screwing with me, I have no idea.

>>6362153
your monitor is shit, it looks fine here

suppose it could be that your monitor is surrounded by black bezels, making it appear brighter, whereas your 4chin CSS is very bright (white/tan?) making it appear darker.

I don't stop reading windows can be only riced with bblean + visual themes and I don't stop seeing hardcore windows rices that I'm sure they're not riced only with that. Someone can explain a little more to me? I couldn't find anything more like, for example, cygwin.

Openbox + tint2

>>6362498
>I'm sure they're not riced only with that.
They are. seriously. Cygwin only adds a linux-esque shell instead of using the cmd. Visual Styles and Bblean are the only things you need to rice windows.

>>6362624
Wrong. Most of it is AHK also, like this one >>6361765

>>6362635
AHK doesn't make the windows look any better, it can change how they are laid out and can remove the close, minimize and maximize buttons, but thats all that I've seen it used for around here. It's more for customizing behavior of windows, not the aesthetics. I would argue you can't rice windows with AHK alone, while you can with a visual style or bblean, making AHK a minor (or unnecessary) part of the ricing process.

>>6362498
Obviously you don't just rice with bbLean and VS's, as >>6362635 said it's also AHK, but also Browser CSS, Rainmeter and just theming programs that you use, none of which you need Cygwin for.
>>6362864
Nice wallpaper anon.

>>6362921
Well, I tried to use AHK but I couldn't, maybe I'm kinda dense.

I'm using GridMove to tile actually. What can offer me AHK and how can I get used to it? I don't know shit about it.

>>6362953
I've used Gridmove and Winsplit and tiling with AHK is a lot better imo, Windows Spy makes moving windows where you want extremely easy, you can also use AHK to make hotkeys to open certain programs.
It's painfully easy to use, install AHK, find a script on nanami to play with, save script, run script, just google and read about it.

>>6361706
How do I into this?

>>6363077
Cygwin for terminals

visual styles and bbLean for the rest.

OK, rather than shitting up this thread every few days with a question that usually gets ignored, here's everything that I haven't figured out from lurking:

- is Ubuntu really so bad that I should just quit and install Xubuntu?
- what music player are you guys using?
- The /g/ wiki page on rice is pretty sparse and the faq is outdated, so if you guys could share some of the resources you used to learn how2rice in Linux that would be nice.

>>6364895
distro doesn't matter
ncmpcpp
read configs/manpages, anything you want to rice is going to be pretty well documented and you shouldn't even have to google much

>>6364895
I had Linux Mint for a while before I could snag a copy of Windows and it really sucked, but that's just me. I like to be able to run .EXEs without Wine doing it wrong.

>>6364895
Judging by the color of your post, you're probably gay

>>6364901
you should only pretend not to read posts, this guy was fine

>>6364898
Thanks, I will be looking at the manpages and ncmpcpp.

It's just that Ubuntu seems to be the least lightweight distro, and /g/ denounces it as spyware. Not that it matters for a movie/music rig

I assure you I enjoy big booty bitches. Although sometimes my reverence/envy of men who are "a man's man" such as Daniel Craig makes me question my sexuality

>>6364904
ubuntu pretty much is the most bloated distro, but if you're just learning it's fine

>>6365752
Be patient and just wait for the admins to approve your account.

>>6365707
I've got no idea about coding or anything. Just install bblean, get a custom theme that looks kinda cool. Enable and disable shit through right click menu

Go into menu.rc and bbstyle maker and edit shit through there. It is honestly quite simple. Took me about 3 hours to get my desktop looking how i've dreamt of it ever since I started looking at desktop threads.

I was wondering if someone have a stylish teamplate to change firefox colours. I'm actually using FT Deep Dark and I changed my themed colour a little, so I would like to try to match with my windows theme.

Also, I'm using pix_ light, and trying to change the color, I realized that the colour will be always darker (because of the VS).

Someone knows how can I "calculate" what color I have to use to get close to the one using in bbZero?

>>6366871
Google ColorPicker, think that's what you're looking for.
As for changing a Stylish theme, there's no template, you just need to change the hex colors to what colors you want.

>>6366874
I googled colorpicker, but it is not at 100% what I'm searching for.

For example, the VS start color I think it is 1b1b1b (or 27 27 27 as you want). So, I would like some tool, that helps me to check if TheColorIChosee + 1b1b1b = The OtherColorIWant

Why? Because I want to match VS color with bbZero, but the VS have standard 1b1b1b value, so I have to choose another colour under the bbZero color. I don't know if I am explainning right, english is not my 1st language.

Also, the template for Stylish, is to know the classes I have to edit to get some colours. I can't figure out good how DOM it works.

>>6364374

how do you do work? this is unreadable

>>6366892
take a screenshot of the vs, open it up in gimp or photoshop and select the dropper tool to find the color code, then use that code on your bbzero skin

>>6366996
Hm, that would work, but the problem is I have a previous color, from the wallpaper I'm using. So I think I cannot fit everything to VS, since I'm fitting everything to wallpaper.

- make it transparent
- icons are white borders - not colorful
- center all icons

samefag here,
changed things up for maximum rice

still bad, sorry

But... But... PopcornTime is dead...

>>6370008
popcorn-time.se actually has an alternative, it's nearly identic to the old one but not better

>>6370006
i'm keeping it

>>6370015
Trying to get to the download page returns a broken link. I'm going with the project is dead.

>>6370021
try this direct link
dl(dot)popcorn-time.se/PopcornTime-latest.exe

>>6370027
Direct link is dead for me. I have no idea what's wrong. Is there another place I could find the new dl? I've also heard .se is riddled with crappy spyware.

>>6370030
where do you live? your country might have blocked it for copyright infringment
ill try to upload it somewhere else

>>6370041
In the US of A right now, I've never had issues with govt. or ISP getting up my butt about legality of this kind of thing. But it's just not loading for me at all.

>>6370030
i researched and it seems that it's a shady version of popcorn time, im checking out stremio which seems like a trusted alternative

>>6370005

>>6362184
How did you add those notifications (wifi/battery) in bblean? I've been searching literally a year for that, it's the only thing that stopped me from using bblean on my laptop as it was a pain to check battery settings each time

>>6365164
I need that start page and ff css

>>6368997
How did you get that music notification on the bblean bar?

Looks okay at best, not the worst desktop I've seen.
Actually, on second thought, garbage.
