Debian 9 + MATE
The wallpaper comes from the "Still Life" Album by Opeth (had to cover the cross with the terminal but I would never cover Melinda :mrgreen: )

I would exchange everything I know in exchange for half of what I don't.

Debian Jessie, jwm, pcmanfm --desktop

Image

Stardate (clock) left mouse click to show/hide desktop toggle, right click to show menu

Some icons set with transparent image, so textual icon could be strategically positioned.

Htop in a title-less, undecorated terminal session, set to open at startup towards the bottom of screen

I dislike cluttered desktops and I start most applications by custom hotkeys.

Hence my dual screens look like this ...

Since I am out of puberty already, I have decided to forego the Window-Kit case and the RGB lighting as well. :wink:

Cheers,
Gaius

Debian Jessie. jwm+pcmanfm. Central/main image is a testbed, as are the blue 'icons' to the top of that (will be removed once I finish testing).

Image

That main/central image region is a Eterm window set to be transparent (image seen is the desktop wallpaper image) and that Eterm runs a script to capture mouse clicks ... a bit like a imagemap desktop. Currently its just set to show the XY mouse click points when a region with no event/action is clicked, otherwise triggers the associated event/action.

All cyan text are standard icons, but where the icon image size is set to be very small and is a transparent icon, to leave just the icon text.

htop, bmon, xfe, xterm and mc are all set to open covering that Eterm region

netinst'd Stretch, LXDE

Configured desktop to have the panel at the top, reduced down in width to allow for 3 gkrellm's (disk, cpu, net) ... so activity flashing is still visible when a window is full screen (panel showing)

2 border/title-less xterms set to load at startup, one showing part of htop, the other a command line ... somewhat as though they were part of the desktop wallpaper (set to be below other windows). Sloppy mouse set so mouse over a window sets it as being focussed and for those xterm windows alt-enter toggles full-screen'ing on/off (in contrast to the more usual alt-F11 full screen toggle key combination). Or xterm's Ctrl leftmouse to pop up its menu that includes the FullScreen option.

Image

At startup the larger (bottom) xterm opens mc, with the left pane showing my bin folder and the right pane showing my Documents folder ... ready to mouse click to run or load things.

Clock in the panel/tray has been set to be the MENU button i.e. left clicking the top right clock shows the LXDE menu.
