/wg/'s OFFICIAL DESKTOP THREAD
Post your desktop and rate others.
Previous thread (at bump limit):
>>5660866 RULES:
- Refrain from making a separate desktop thread while the official one is still alive
- If you rate others, make sure to specify which is your desktop so that people know where the judgment is coming from
- Try to rate at least once throughout the thread
- Avoid posting default setups
HELPFUL STUFF:
Sticky:
>>4667225 http://nanami-tan.info/ (mostly useful for beginners)
http://wallbase.cc/ (wallpaper search engine)
http://4walled.cc/ (another search engine)
http://www.colourlovers.com/ (color schemes)
http://google.com/ (use reverse image search -most of the times it works even with screenshots- and look up stuff you need)
Don't be afraid to ask others about their desktop but look around the thread for answers BEFROE asking.
(The TWo Great) FAQs:
>How do I make my taskbar look like that? It's probably a custom VS or an alternative Window manager (bblean, i3, openbox...)
>How do I make my firefox look like that? Look up firefox CSS user styles/scripts and apply them with Stylish or Greasemonkey.
Remember that your desktop always needs more ricing.

>>5665866 >>5665892 How do you people get your desktop to be like this? I did a fresh install of Mint about half a week ago and the only instructions you all and /g/ gave was "install openbox", and that's it.
I installed openbox and I'm just lost on what to do next. I’m completely new at this and just one piece of instructions won't suffice. Can anyone give me complete instructions or point me to a website for a complete understanding on how to rice? I'd greatly appreciate it. Not looking for ratings, I am aware this is too ugly for /wg/'s taste. And I do not want to install another os, I'm happy with using mint for now.

>>5665909 Did you use a program or something to make that? Anyway, the way you have the image set up makes so I have to open it in a new tab and zoom in which is annoying, just prtsc next time.

Anyway here you go. just a simpler VS, and a custom orb.
>All that information on the right is something I doubt you need or even use half the time. I actually do, when I have a lot of stuff running at the same time, when I have video or 3D renderings in process, or when I stress-test for an overclocking. I need to monitor my HDD space and activity as well when I output raw files.
It's generally useful for troubleshooting as well.

>>5666674 Well, for a start the red and black looks disgusting together. Everything is either black or red but then you have two really bright things (your explorer and on firefox) There's way too much contrast there.
Your firefox has terrible padding on the sides (Half the page is just borders for christ sake). The font in your terminal and foobar is disgusting. Your wallpaper has terrible artifacts.
Oh, and every single corner is a sharp angle. Apart from the one single corner in firefox.
And once again, the red and black looks disgusting.

But then: the page padding is like that because ffox is not maximized and actually takes up less than 1/5 of the page when maximized and the font is the exact same everywhere but (as I stated) the rendering is a bit weird.

maybe im just not /wg/ enough to understand, who knows. If you want to rock one layout or the other, cool. But dont judge somebody's DT based on what they used to make their desktop look the way it does, judge their desktop on how it looks in the end. Does that make sense? Im at work and tired.

Made this. I'm a little gay for MC.
The icons are the out of place blocks in the painting. (diamon, gold, glowstone, and iron. The emerald and quartz are part of the picture)
Didnt include a clock or date because that is on my taskbar and i can just bring it up anytime by moving my cursor to the bottom of my screen. Have no idea how to change the recycle bin, or i'd camo that too.
I dont know, thought it was different.

Honestly, it is all personal preference, getting the approval of /g/ /wg/ /w/ or #rice is not important if the user doesn't like the desktop.
Since coming to /wg/ i've made my desktop not only look nicer, but i've also started to use more useful applications for various tasks, and ricing my desktop has driven me to learn terminal. Ricing is not only about looking good. If you take a look at the projects some of the guys in the community are working on, ricing is really about contributing style and function to one another.
