Ricing GNU/Linux

Share tips on ricing.

Ricing GNU/Linux is not only made by choosing themes and color but what software goes into your computer. "Display Managers" are the login screens, "Window Managers" are the part drawing the borders, colors, etc, and "File Managers" are what handles how you browse your machine. More info:

Let me try this again, here is "Starting x without DM or Login Manager".

You add stuff to ~/.xinitrc that you want to start immediately on boot, things like DEs, WMs, and DMs. ~/.xinitrc is an rc file that gets loaded when you call startx. So if you want startx to load a certain DE/WM you put that in the config. However you can ignore the config and instead use a DM which is like a GUI login screen. However xinitrc isn't called by default. If you add a line in your .bash_profile and you don't have a DM, upon boot, you should be prompted for you username and password. After entering them, xinitrc takes over and starts your DE and/or WM. Putting that line in your bash_profile (*profile) file simply calls startx if it's not already started when you start your login shell. You could ignore that and just type startx after login if you want.

You can make bash_login call xinitrc with

[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx

In your bash_profile. THEN xinitrc gets called after you log in because of that line.

Put a line at the bottom of ~/.xinitrc that says

exec

for example i3 and that launches it. Then in your .bash_profile put

[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx

Does anyone use Conky and actually make it look aesthetic? All the ones i test out end up looking like a stock windows rainmeter.

Conky is good because you can make it look however the fuck you like. If you don't like the look of it, change it.

Guess i either lack the creative inspiration or am never satisfied with the result.

dotshare.it/category/info/conky

awesome thanks

When I started I just downloaded a whole lot of conky scripts from deviantart and mashed them together. I focused on the design, it got me into it.

Should be studying for a redhat exam, instead i'm buried deep in rice. Thanks :)

something they change every few years
something they will force you to "upgrade" to

HOW ABOUT YOU THOUGH

Options is the reason newbies distro hop. So is exactly what you say.

wow it must suck to not be able to rice your os and have to hide it

Anyone has tips on how to upgrade performance? Just got into Lain and that series inspired the shit out of me. Literally Sup Forums the anime.

My strategy until now has been using less dependencies, picking a tiling window manager, and will migrate to a source based distro this year.

Pic related, I know is outdated but is what I have.

I am not the one hiding his desktop, senpai. You are. Why don't you show us how beautiful it is.

Updated image

Sup Forums should make its own distro focused on ricing

>being new

we have lo/g/os

So I am using Classic 95 icons and wanted to complement it with Xfce-Redmond, how exactly do I do this? I DLd the following
>gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Xfce-Redmond?content=100112
placed it in both the .themes and the usr/share/themes folders yet I still cannot figure how to apply the theme itself

Look for the "user interface settings" in your application menu.

If you need something always look an application for it.

I cannot find it, I have a Themes option but that does not show the Xfce-Redmond option. here is what i believe is the theme application. I have successfully applied the icons but the Desktop section and others do not have Xfce-Redmond as an option

Piss off

So it's not possible with mint? I'm sorry I'm new as hell to linux if that isn't obvious enough already

Are you trolling? You just showed a picture of windows 10.

>win 98
>win 10
is this a meme

This looks like windows 10 to me.

That is because it is, and I would like to change it to

Oh, now we are getting somewhere.

I don't know what version of Mint you have, but the easiest way is to install xfce for Mint, there you will find a setting manager like this pic and you can install real easy the theme.

What version of Mint are you using?

Rate my ricing skills, Sup Forums?
Working on getting arc-firefox-theme to match my Sup Forums colors.

I should also make this reply box transparent.

Nice colors, care to share your css?

Sure i guess.
Give me a minute.

Here it is. You'll have to either import it in appchan x or convert the values to CSS manually, I'm extremely new to CSS otherwise i'd do it for you.

I'm not sure how importing goes, i think you'll need to save that as a .JSON

>X window managers
DELETE THIS
Xorg is deprecated.

Thanks, no porblem I wanted to know the color set anyway.

Have this in return userstyles.org/styles/53794/dark-Sup Forums-theme

That is a css, to use several at the time I recommend stylish addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/

And WayLand is buggy for most people.

Mmm! Slackintosh!

Ah, I already installed stylish. I love it.

When i use other computers i feel like my eyes are going to melt because everything is so bright, lol.

not enough anime in itt thread in my imo

>xorg
>performance
lol no.
Install Wayland.

Wrong, X is very dinamic and works as intended. And its updated, don't spread FUD to shill your wayland.

Tripfag, deserved the ban.

Wayland doesn't have any bugs, but software may.

>When i use other computers i feel like my eyes are going to melt because everything is so bright, lol.
Same here user.

Xorg team now develop wayland.
Xorg is fat shitty legacy-code

material design?

I love weston-terminal, it's so black, just like me.

...

Leaving my job in a week and I haven't applied for a new one yet, what do?

watch anime and play video games until you find a new one

>Defending GNU
>Uses Ubuntu
Fucking nerd.

I am using 17.3. how do i install xfce to get that setting manager?

What Mint? There is Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, etc.

To install Xfce you go to the software manager and look for it. There are other ways so look here community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1525

Then to use Xfce you log out and log back in and presto.

alright, I have gotten that far, now my only problem is the window theme does not have a redmond option. here is what it looks like. (I am also unsure on how to customize the menu more but that is less important at the moment)

try not using lame as your wallpaper
