Does anyone else here hide the taskbar and have no icons on your desktop?
I do it to make things "aesthetic."

I dont hide my taskbar because windows 10 bugs with multi monitor.
Colton Nguyen
Oh it does? I didn't realize that. I'm just surprised I see a lot of people with icons and a taskbar cluttering up their screens when it's so easy to make it disappear so it looks like an HD picture frame when not in use.
Aaron Butler
yes i use i3
Ryder Johnson
>uses a computer to stare a picture
Boy oh boy do I have this thing for you it's called arch linux you will love it
Isaiah Ward
I do the opposite.
I do it to make things "functional".
Connor Foster
I hide desktop icons but still like having the taskbar visible, especially with winblows a small amount of the taskbar still peaks out when it's hidden for no reason
Jose Williams
yea i do this
Colton Ross
and if you can tell by the screenshot, I actually keep the taskbar on the top. True patrician style.
Isaac Lewis
Yes, I also hide window decorations whenever possible
gotta get that vertical space
Ayden Young
I've got Windows 10 and mine doesn't do that but ok.
Yeah it's about having nice wallpapers to look at.
Jayden Allen
window managers/desktop environments are not dependent on the distribution of Linux, also arch is a horrendous piece of shit and everybody who uses it should be shot

sure sounds like a good use of your time

I have it on the side and use 7+ taskbar tweaker to make it not huge.
Sebastian Young
I have only i3bar visible.
William James
I'm using i3 so I don't have desktop icons and I also hide window decorations (window title bar). Maximal space usage.
Logan Cooper
In addition to hiding title bars, it makes for a sleek feel. Though it makes checking the time from time to time a pain
William Hughes
why would i want to stare at nothing
if you are looking at nothing, you are doing nothing

It's about things being aesthetic when I leave the room.
This as well. It makes things feel sleek.. Just affects checking the time.
Isaiah Bell
thanks user. here's one from my collection
Brody Lewis
I do it to avoid burn-in on OLED screen. No taskbar, no icons, no background, just void.
Christopher Rivera
After I realized I never wanted to move the mouse up to click anything I removed polybar. I wish i3’s on-release ability ignored key repeats so I could have a terminal print info and close on key release.
John Diaz
My desktop is almost never visible because I use my computer to run programs
Nathan Lee
I don't even have desktop background set, I almost never see it. I do it because I don't like space being wasted on something I literally never used and never will.
Henry Rodriguez
Is there supposed to be a dick between your loli's legs? My brain is so confused by seeing these deranged animus everywhere that I literally can not tell anymore what's supposed to be what.

Thank you both for wallpaper. I will contribute in return since I grabbed your wallpaper.
David Baker
>I do it to make things "aesthetic."
prevents screen burn-in.
>yes i use i3
that shit destroys screens. after a month of using i3, I could see lines where windows were all the fucking time. horrible for screen health.

What about it would it even do that? There's nothing atypical about the way it draws the windows.
Bentley Rogers
it always draws them in same places. i now use a different DE and I move my windows around a bit.
Robert Anderson
I have no icons on desktop but the task bar is too useful to hide, I don't want to do anything other than move my pupils a few millimeters to know the time or what programs are running.
Adrian Robinson
I simply made my taskbar match the color of the wallpaper so it looks transparent. No icons, taskbar has enough space for that.
Colton Wright
Then you're not complaining about i3, but about tiling. And still not a problem, because you're supposed to resize the tiles according to what you're doing, so they wouldn't in the same place. I suppose you never learned to do that. If you'd still worry, you could remove window's borders, fhen it would depend on the color of your terminals, which is not even defined by i3.
You never learned to use the thing, and show that you don't even understand the concept by calling it a DE.
Christopher Butler
I hide the taskbar for practical reasons.
I don't hide icons, because I actually need stuff on the desktop to work on.
Jason Hill
No what the fuck. Why aren't you making use of space?
Really bothers me that the desktop in Windows doesn't support widgets now there's an app store. What a waste of space.
Henry Cooper
my budget samsung LED monitor with 18815 wake hours doesn't have this problem, don't buy a TV to use as a monitor
Wyatt Davis
I don't hide the taskbar, but I do like the minimal look. The only thing I ever have on my desktop is connect drives.
David Martinez
Yes, my "desktop" doesn't have icons anyway and my "taskbar" comes up when I press Alt, using i3 btw.
Luis Reed
>Does anyone else here hide the taskbar
Yes, and I don't get why more people don't do this (unless it bugs out).
>and have no icons on your desktop?
I only use it for stuff I need in the short term, and keep it as empty as possible.
Joshua Bailey
do you like my icon free aesthetic :^)
Grayson Phillips
Yes.
Why keep something visible that takes up precious vertical space when you only use it 00.001% of the time?
Just set it to automatically hide and hover your cursor over the edge to bring it up when you need it.
I just keep a file manager open (you would leave it at the desktop directory). Desktop with icons is basically a stripped down file manager set to the desktop dir.

You can thank me later. Alternatively, get a monitor made in the last twenty years or so.
Dominic Cruz
I don't hide my taskbar because it's already quite discrete
Carter Sanchez
I don't hide the taskbar but I do hide desktop icons.
Christopher Smith
im still on qbit 3.4
is it safe to upgrade now?, i downgraded because the 4.0 was a hot mess
Blake Garcia
what?
Austin Howard
Why was 4.0 a hot mess in your eyes? Seems nearly identical to what I'm used to, lemme check out them patch notes... qbittorrent.org
Seems like 4.0 added a lot of good shit (that I don't personally use)
Wyatt Phillips
i do yeah
Luke Jones
>i3 on ubuntu
thats like putting tinted windows on a hoarders house.
Cooper Kelly
I don't use desktop icons but I keep the taskbar there because KDEs taskbar isn't a huge screen twinky like the windows taskbar.
