Review Desktops and post your own, here's mine. I'm pretty new so advice is welcome.
What's that software called running the time/date and resources etc?
also here is mine
6/10 btw
>>6474424
I'll take it with pride it's called rainmeter but its for windows, idk if itll work on linux
Any thoughts?
>>6474713
Nice !
How did you make your bar transparent?
Where do I get a toolbar skin? Also how can i change the win7 theme?
thanks
>>6474424
i think u can use conky on linux senpai
Nice and simple
>>6476531
That wallpaper is terrible
>>6476531
>vanilla rainmeter
you tried
>>6474399
I think mine is nice
I'm still working out the visualizer, with scale, number of bars, etc.
I think it looks nice, any thoughts on how I can make it better?
>>6476551
I think this looks pretty good, but you can use rainmeter icons instead of normal icons.
I don't need more..
:) Thoughts?
>>6476590
nice
but i dont like the wallpaper

At least your desktop's clean, I'll give you that.
>>6474424
Looks alright. I'm not into gnu/linux.
>>6474713
Perfect, mate. But do you really need your recycle bin on your desktop?
>>6476534
You're good.
>>6476531
It's an eyesore to be honest. Wallpaper, stock rainmeter, desktop shortcuts. Redo it mate, except the wallpaper of course, if you're into that kind of thing.
>>6476551
>Desktop shortcuts
>Cluttered rainmeter
>two clocks
It's bad anon, but now bad past redemption.
Suggestions: Remove shortcuts, fix that mess of a rainmeter, hide one of the two clocks, place all of your desktop folders in one folder, get custom icons.
>>6476579
>>6476581
>>6476590
whew. Looks comfy. great use of rainmeter.
>>6476583
Simple yet beautiful stock windows.
>>6476666
Get custom icons, remove/replace that stock rainmeter skin and you're good.
>>6476729
Not my thing but it looks... functional I guess.
>>6476729
What is that music player?

looks really nice senpai. wish i knew how to do this kind of stuff
bleh
>>6476756
Great analyses OP. Keep up the good work
>>6476815
Very, very nice. Might want to slightly clean up the spacing in the honeycomb corner if you're ocd but nice all around. Can you upload the wallpaper?
>>6476917
thanks, i also cleaned it up a bit
>>6476956
fixed
>>6474399
what software are you guys using
Any advice on mine ?
dont know where to put these
>>6477717
The clock is enormous.
Personally I'd like it to be a lot smaller.
i need to do something with colors,
i still haven't decided which i should choose
>>6477717
what's that bar at the top? Does it open file explorer or is there a sort of menu (for jeux or séries for example)?
>>6477755
remade it
now i look like great faggot, but i really like this specific color...
tttt
for the buttons on the side
all - general directory of all files on my computer (school, work, coding files, pictures, etc)
discover - google chrome
listen - spotify
potions - python compiler
coffe - java compiler
ingredients - java files
discuss - skype
charms - quick link to my pictures
forge - file with all my games, gog and some steam shortcuts
echo - nothing yet, just a place holder
>>6478551
if you
- change background to fit theme (something non-aggressive by colors)
- do something with trash (probably hide and open it using file manager)
- hide the search bar (you can search when you open start menu and start typing)
- modify panel (icons, autohiding)
it will be really nice
Rearranged since last time posted what do you fags think?
:)
I have rainmeter in my pc but i dont like using it too much
so my desktop its pretty ... normal i guess.
>>6476884
Too many different font sizes for my taste,
but I love that you matched the colours to the background!
>>6477719
peaceful, I like it!
>>6479086
thx anon

do you know any programs that make hiding the recycle bin easy? i'm using rainmeter but don't recall seeing anything that could hide the recycle bin
thanks for the advice
>>6479703
Go to Settings, Personalization, Themes, Desktop Icon Settings.
You can disable the recycle bin in there.
>>6479965
oops, forgot the picture, here
>>6479966
Wasn't my advice, but I think it looks good man,

>>6479966
yeah, that's much better!
now i'd rate it 8.75/10
- still, windows 10 (no one w/ w10 can have over 9.25)
- chrome botnet
- taskbar is for running apps, for launching apps is start menu
+ for gimp
>>6480163
I'm not fan of xfce, but you made it quite nice
> 7.5/10
>>6480232
much cleaner compared to other macfags
> 7/10
>>6480459
At least no icons. Remove that trash, it only kills that clean desktop
also, stop using chrome
> 6/10
>>6480498
your icons don't fit your theme. look for something 2D, and probably angular, not circles, when it's w8
move that time thing to the top, so it doesn't kills calmness of the forest
> 5.5/10
Rainmeter looks badly distributed because the screenshot sticks the 2 monitors together... it's more symmetrical seen on screens
I have quite a lot of unnecessary shit I left on my desktop

I caught my visualizer at a weird time but whatever
>>6480521
>stop using chrome
what then?
>>6480569
This is damn good but the taskbar should be smaller.
Any tips for icons?
>>6480998
It's really nice. Can you share it?
>>6480909
Thanks, here's the full pape if you want.
>>6481300
How did you get your taskbar like that?
my office desktop
>>6476551
can I get that background?
found it
>>6481110
>no double clocks
Nice. I'd suggest
-enabling smaller taskbar icons not only to achieve a cleaner look but also to save precious desktop space, especially in your case being a laptop user.
-turning off taskbar transparency, seeing how your wallpaper is basically composed of flat solid colors.
-Reconsider those rainmeter shortcuts for your games. It looks out of place to be honest. You can modify it to autohide and appear only when you hover your mouse.
>>6481333
>cluttered desktop
>overused pape
Seriously, what's the appeal of that wallpaper? It's like the go to wallpaper of any new fag attempting to achieve a cleaner desktop.
just started putting rainmeter back together after a couple of years of not using it.

>>6481635
that's kind of cool, maybe get a custom icon for that skype icon on the taskbar desu
>>6482940

How do you get your icons to free float in the middle? My bar is transparent but I can't figure out how to put icons in the middle separate of everything else.
>>6481465

usually the usage of rainmeter is tacky (cpu, ram, links to stuff etc)
Also yes Emily is the best

what rainmeter addon is the you dont need a jacket thingy
>>6480998 What rainmeter weather add on is that? also r8?
Hello
>>6487561
alright, thanks
i might uninstall rainmeter after this although my desktop will look quite boring then
would like some help
mainly looking for good white taskbar / tray icons
>>6487602
there are plenty of ways to make your desktop look good on windows that don't use any rainmeter. pic related is my old win7 rice
>>6480013
>>6481009
>>6483094
Those are bretty nice
>>6481454
Can't say anything better than >>6487416
changed it up again, less rainmeter (i cant help it, i enjoy rainmeter)
Normally my task bar is hidden
>>6483094
You could change the icon of skype and the recylce bin too

Is that a stylish rice of firefox? I really like it and was searching for one like yours for ages
>>6488274
https://userstyles.org/styles/96262/light-by-nappy-4chan
This is an old (but generic) version of it. Changing colors is easy enough and you can toy around with the css to fine tune to your needs. Note that there are some broken ass parts to this CSS so be wary
>>6474424
how do you make the icons bigger in xfce?
>>6488324
Thanks! And what is the overall theme/style of your firefox browser?
>>6480984
I used to have two and I miss it. Its not essential but I find it convenient. Throwing up email and facebook messenger on one screen, doing other shit on the other. Its great for multi tasking

Remove these and you'd have like a 6/10.
The hex thing is way overdone so even without the ugly system meters (are you even using them?) I can't rate highly.

an image of a foggy san francisco morning
saturated the colours in two different layers and airbrushed some touch ups, then used a black and white drawing as a layer mask.
>>6489707
I like the rainmeter, it's definitely got good stuff going on for it, the only thing that urks me is some of skyrim's textures suck dick.
It would be neat if you got skyrim running on a really powerful rig with a ultra4k texture mod, and some other visual enhancers, and used that as wallpaper.
although as a concept it kicks ass
>>6489710
i did what i could in photoshop to make this one not look like shit. any better?
>>6489712
Yea its much better. Like i said to the other anon i can fire up my game and take a pic if you want.
Its much better now. I like it.
>>6489717

>>6474399
any tips?
>>6490453
you got any good suggestions for prettier stat monitors?
except for the time, have some margins and move the stats a bit close to the center instead of being on the edge. Look at how skyrim's hud is not directly placed on the edges.
this is my preference but id have the links centered on the left side of the screen.
>>6490467
the best that comes to mid is elegance2, but that just personal preferance
>>6490467
also i agree about the links on the left

>>6474428
Whats the skin called?
>>6488260
cali
thought?
I usually go for colder tones but right now i rocking some warm tones
>>6490446
Care to tell me how you moved the soundbars behind the girl? Seems pretty nice
Also agree with >>6490453 the stat skin doesn't fit that well
>>6491527
Like that alot, the high calnder not my thing doe, mind posting the screen?
>>6491139
totally my taste, very cool.
>>6488782
The honeycomb skin seems buggy on me, some icons don't open what they should, any idea what could be the cause of it?
Does anyone know if there is an alternative to this Twitch Rainmeter thing I have? I just need something to tell me if someone I'm following is online. It doesn't need to be Rainmeter by the way.
>>6481101
Damn boy, whats that on the left?

Kill yourself/10
Nothing much here just chill for me, still don't know how to make the taskbar 100% transparent without installing anything tho.
Overall I'm pretty against installing shit like Rainmeter because its usage used to suck.
Don't know how it is today but I'm staying away for now.
How is this?
Just installed linux mint, mainly for safe torrenting but I also like the customization that's possible
I'm completely new to linux, any suggestions?
>>6492255
what's wrong with installing third party software to make it transparent?
classic shell works great imo
Not a fan of rainmeters, but I make all my own icons.
>>6492677

This is one of the first rainmeter based desktops I really like. The wallpaper works well/fits with it (it feels very overwatch-y) but not in a hokey way (things that are supposed to be sitting on the background image or something dumb like that), and the layout is very good. Nice job
