Another beautiful screenshot

Annd...it works with E17.

Only reason I did that (I do like the default E17 theme) is because the default start menu icon is a ^. Pitiful.

I also need a decent start menu because I'm making a persistence USB for someone else thats probably never used Linux in her life. :face_with_head_bandage: wow im using that emoji a lot And I didn't have a Beta ISO on hand so I just figured, what the heck? She's not going to install any programs - she just needs LibreOffice and a browser (I chose Palemoon - thanks @triantares for your guide :D) so she'll probably be fine with Stable which runs faster anyway.

UPDATE: Im using the advanced theme selector in E17 so that I dont have to use the entire theme. So that I can pick "start module should have icon from triantares theme, everything else = default theme" because the E23 theme (for obvious reasons) had problems (like a corrupt lookng clock). I'll have to switch USBs tho, this one is a cheap one that came bundled with a product and its read/write speeds are both 20mbps according to elive. :frowning_face:

Created a new E17 theme that does exactly what I customized. I imported the .edj file and then modified it, in the edje editor provided in the stable version.

And Palemoon is way too slow (cant even use some features of github) so im downloading midori rn

For completeness' sake a screenshot of my E16 using "plank" as the dock.

And another dark retro one.

E16 can be so beautiful if we want to. :nod:

And another with E16 using tint2, plank, pager top right and a Milky-Way background .
This time a dual monitor (side by side) setup.

This one's actually even better.
Running Mac OsX Catalina (fullscreen on the left) in virtualbox on Elive 3.8.17 with the 2 adjacent screens.

Using this for testing out "livecode" IDE (former "runrev") apps to see if they will run on all platforms as standalone.
Alas on Linux they only run on GTK2 not GTK3 (so Stable is fine, Beta isn't) albeit the IDE runs fine on 3.8.17

Stable 3.0 Live on the left, running the same app. :smiley14:

Actually surprised the laptop isn't starting to smell funny, considering everything that's running concurrently. :magick:

And another shot.
This time I'm using 3 outputs (displays) but my laptop card is max 3840x1152 resolution so I put my laptop in the middle, ovelapping half of the other 2.
This is the effect: :hot:

Screenshot in a screenshot. :nod:

And another, trying to go super minimalistic with only 2 icons on the dock (tired of the Mac-like look docks).
On the top a favourites and underneath an icon that launches "rofI" find an app by typing it's name or description.

The Desktop-pager as always top right and the systray to the right inside "tint2"

Not really 100% satisfied yet so I'll play around a while and put up a video once I am happy enough. :smile_cat:

Going out on a limb here with my background (i.e hoping I don't need to change the year) but here's a screenshot of my current minimal desktop.

The background is free to download and use for anyone here:

  • E16 prominently coming back again from the mists of time.

There'll be more a-coming, just the beginning. :applause:

Back to dark and basic again.
My E16 desktop first in it's minimal form:

And with the pager and plank shown (through hotkeys win and Shift + Win)

All on Bullseye based Elive Beta 3.8.27 and using 'flameshot' to annotate the screenshots. :smiley14:

Hi!

It remembers me a backscreen on MorphOS that is in this idea... :wink:

Ih!

And another shot showing 3.8.32 using the 'cybertech' icons and a built-in Elive background.
Cairo dock at the bottom and the pager top right where I like it.
