No, not really.

Anything else.

Sorry user but no

Clean Windows XP install

>muh icons
>muh clickbar

As a Windows XP user, I actually have to disagree.

A clean macOS install

nearly everything looks better.
>trashcan icon
>inconsistent icon size, color scheme and even fonts.
Like why is fonts on the clock, the search field and under the desktop icons so different?
Why is the icon style different for the system tray different for the quick launch?
It seems like they went for a flat theme with simple features so they can be viewed in a single color.
For some reason, they did not do this for internet explorer and the file manager.
If it was some 3rd party application, I could forgive this, but they should be able to send a message to the other people within the graphics department.

There is no quick launch in that photo, pretty sure you actually have to tweak the registry to get it now.

As a Windows XP user, I actually have to agree.

honestly a riced out arch install looks way more aesthetic. i mean look at this thing. it's beautifully minimal while still being functional.

ugly h4x0r wannabe interface

if that was ha4x0r there wouldn't be a window managers. it'd just be a terminal.

Why buy HP?

No
Im this:

What's with gaps? I see everyone with them these days. Doesn't it somewhat defeat the purpose of using a tiling window manager?

>gaps
>drop shadow
>archfags think this looks good.

post a better looking desktop then. i can't wait to tell you how shit it looks.

Mac OS X 10.3 is the most aesthetic OS ever.

>i can't wait to tell you how shit it looks.
No need for me to post it since you've already made your mind up about it.

Do you only post yours so others could tell you how great it looks?

I think unused tags are hidden.

Win98 with the DaVinci Plus theme

>hurr im not going to give a rebuttal since you're just going to call it shit
>thinks this somehow strengthens his argument that arch is shit/autistic and not that he's butthurt

What do I have to be butthurt about? You're the one who spent days ricing your desktop and posted it on Sup Forums hoping people would wank over it then got angry when I told you it looks like shit (because it does).

Why though? There's all that unused space on the statusbar.

you can't give a counterexample and just want to criticize me rather than the actual aesthetics of the desktop.

that's the very definition of butthurt my man.

tiling window managers always waste more space than stacking window managers.
I think the gaps is there to give the impression that there is space to waste.
In that picture there is a large gap between the left and right tiles.
Usually this is done by having a transparent window. This is a special case of waste that people only do so it looks good in screenshots.
Tiling window managers rarely makes sense when you realize all applications are run in full screen.

>rather than the actual aesthetics of the desktop.
>muh aesthetics

I already told you: the drop shadow is ugly and the gaps are unnecessary. Adding to that, the shit brown with bright colors color scheme of the terminal is disgusting and your PS1 is retarded.

>40,000 icons

all of those opinions are invalid. drop shadow gives depth to anotherwise horribly flat interface (see windows 10).

shit brown? do you instinctively think of shit when you eat chocolate too?

and the bright font is less of a headache than a bright background with dark font, so like i said you have no counterexample. all you did was just repeat your opinion, wheras i actually gave reasons.

>all applications run in full screen

except that's false. why would you run something like a media player or irc client in full screen?

Counterexample. Feel free to sperg out.

Windows 7

while the color layout isn't bad what the actual fuck happened to your tile numbers?

What do you mean? The little squares tell me which tags have clients. A filled in square tells me which tag is focused.

a freshly FDISKed drive that HAD windows 10 on it.
much space, wow, big improve, very better.

-doge

It's in the nature of windows to get slower over time until it eventually becomes unusable.
Then your only choice is to completely reinstall everything.
So you're lucky, as you'll get to enjoy your clean windows 10 install more than once.

>windows 10
>aesthetic

A windows 7 fresh install

hiiii

that’s nothing, take a look at this

That's fucking horrible

>2017
>use desktop icons

A clean Windows 10 blue screen

It's too bad Gnome is literally the worst desktop environment ever created. It looks nice.

Fucking steven universe fags get out

You're asking for objectivity on a subjective topic

That looks pretty nice famalam. What font are you using?

Yes. A clean win10 enterprise LTSB install. Now you don't have to spend the entire day ripping things out (yes I've done that it ain't fun).

Workflow is comfy when you get it.

Gay

Autism

The defaults are insane. It's unusable.

Pedo faggot reported

Pardon me m8 but you are wrong. I use it everyday, and it's clearly very usable.

[spoiler]extentions[/spoiler]

If you need extensions to make it usable, you might as well use Windows.

A clean Windows 95 install.

I just want an app that reproduces the win7 style on win10

>not getting rid of all the frivolous nonsense like a search bar at the bottom of your screen (really why would you ever need this)
>not uninstalling or disabling every privacy-invading feature
>not installing software to revert back to the Windows 7 start menu

That said, Win10 is a really lightweight operating system and I like that. Especially since upgrading to an SSD... oh boy it's butter.

nice rounded corners and transparency kiddo

did your mom buy those for you

>all these retards using horizontal taskbar on a widescreen display

>interfering with workflow for a tiny handful of extra pixels
>deliberately slowing yourself down in the name of "efficiency"
kill=self

>interfering with workflow
How.

Nice rounded corners, faggot. Props on the Mac Pro trash though

...

>vertical taskbar "slows him down"

>oh boy I sure love all this extra space on my screen
>well now that I'm done working on the right side of my monitor, I'd like to change windows
>uh oh, gotta go all the way across my monitor to the opposite side just to get to a different window

>using a vertical taskbar
You people can't be serious

IT LITERALLY TAKES UP MORE SPACE

Who cares about a few extra pixels, amirite xD?
You have a widescreen display. It makes more sense to give yourself more vertical space than horizontal.

Replace "right" with "top" and your post is now in favor of vertical taskbar.
There's a way to make it thin. Besides, horizontal space is abundant.

i started trying to get rid of all of them, but the ones on the bottom of each window are hardcoded so i gave up

>columns are more valuable than lines
>the more horizontal space you have the more windows or other content boxes you can fit side by side
>the less vertical space you have the more you have to scroll
>average horizontal taskbar takes up about one-two lines of text
>average vertical taskbar takes up just enough space to disallow that last 80 column terminal

kek

>classic shell

>Who cares about a few extra pixels, amirite xD?
That's the thing, you were touting it *because* it gives you more pixels when it LITERALLY doesn't.

>not having window titles
>not having lots of room for extra windows (while still having titles)
>changing your entire workflow JUST so you can have literally one extra line of text per page

Honestly I've never been so disgusted at somebody's opinion in my whole life.

>not autohiding your taskbar or panel or whatever
>having a background that isn't plain black
>desktop icons
>ricer shit like shadows

do you faggots also paint flames on your case and put LEDs everywhere and call that aesthetic

>HAVING window titles
>different==bad
You simply hate free space, we get it.

left or right side?

right side = minimize, maximize, close is on that side too so you can sort of make a mental link between that and the taskbar and make it easier to use and more aesthetic by treating the right part of the screen as the "control" zone

left side = ?

>... not having window titles
Now I know you're just trolling. 10/10, you got me, great work senpai

>right side = minimize, maximize, close is on that side too
That's a bad thing. That way you can't quickly close maximized windows.
Yeah yeah, free space is gay, I understand.

ohoho boy, welp that's enough of this thread

great work user, you 100% triggered me. I'm literally shaking

>not having your titlebars on the bottom left

lol fucking plebs do you even rice i am 99.9% more productive than you n00bs

i bet you cowards don't even use vim

>Using anything but the defaults
>Ricing your desktop and lying about it being for productivity

you're dumb as dirt you're not a real autist, real autists try to make every aspect of their lives efficient

vertical space
shitting (shitting in the squat position is optimal)
best OS
best IDE
eating the best food, taking the best vitamins and minerals and substances that make your brain healthier
abusing piracetam
no drugs no alcohol
be lean, efficient, optimized, shortest path algorithm from desk to toilet when you want to take a piss, stuff like that

I realize you're just trolling but now I'm genuinely curious to know if it's even possible to do that

>(shitting in the squat position is optimal)
It was on this day that you redeemed yourself, user.

It's objectively more efficient to kill yourself

>using the defaults
>ever

>abusing drugs
>no drugs
top kek

objectivity doesn't exist in a world where everything is defined with previous knowledge, for example a mentally insane man defines truth in a completely different way, for a schizophrenic man truth may be what the voice in his head says is the truth

everything is subjective, you have to find your own meaning and let go of anxiety, man-made constraints like god, traditions, etc and fear and insecurities and do whatever you wish

>ricing
>ever

Where did I say anything about ricing?

A clean gentoo install.

>karen will never be real
>even if she was she would hang out with her friends and think you were a creep

that app only restores some functionality, it looks exactly the same, blocky and flat
