Re: What does your desktop look like?
They are not really thumbnails, but any way I have started a new topic,Debiman>> garry, those are thumbnails.
maybe too large for your taste, but nevertheless.---snip-- Bloom, please, can't you see that you are destroying this screenshot thread?
Why don't you just start your own thread, and post all the wallpapers you like?
and maybe also share that script?
not to argue, but to try to discuss this more, without derailing this " What does your desktop look like " topic. Maybe, bloom can make some changes in his/her script, if they have one, from what I read in the link you show, all they have is
something that downloads 1000's of images , and changes wallpapers, ever few minutes,..
And :Bloom>> I like this wallpaper very much as well. My desktop changes its wallpaper every five minutes and I have thousands of them on a NAS, mostly "dramatic" landscapes.
The XFCE 4.1x desktop enviroment can change the wallpaper itself and you can set a timer, but if you have several thousands of wallpapers, it is unbearingly slow. So I wrote a bash script to do it for me: that's blazingly fast.
If you want it, just let me know.
Wouldn't it just be simpler , to post a link to this "Nas volume", and then thoseAll my desktop computers and notebooks share the same desktop environment, so I can't show another desktop -- just other wallpapers as my system changes these every 5 minutes and gets them from a NAS volume where several thousands are stored.
that want to see the 1000's of images can browse it ? The purpose of this thread is to show new desktop environments, when people make changes....
new wallpapers, downloaded from some site is some thing else.
Any way, better to discuss this in another topic.
Wallpapers and backgrounds, images in general
Thanks

Re: What does your desktop look like?
All my desktop computers use the same desktop environment, so I can't show anything else. I was hoping the different wallpapers would be appreciated by people who, like me, collect nice ones. Exposing my in-home systems to the internet is not an option for me.
If you consider these posts spamming (even if I don't do it every day and sometimes only once a week of a month?), I'll stop posting here. Simple.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Nobody said anything about it being spam, it is not spam. But any way,
do what you want, I don't have time for pointless arguments.

These suggestions are good / valid as well :Bloom>> I was hoping the different wallpapers would be appreciated by people who, like me, collect nice ones
Or maybe Bloom could start their own thread:
"My personal wallpaper changer" or something?

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Very nice, pawRoot. But i prefer not to have 3rd party software on my system....for example, Google Chrome, Termite terminal, Overpass fonts, Infinality etc. Allso, i always follow one golden rule-DON’T BRAKE DEBIAN...

Re: What does your desktop look like?
I've spent some time removing as many GUI programmes as possible and moving my workflow over to vim keybindings. This is Openbox with the Ranger file manager, sc-im spreadsheet (also with vim bindings) and vim editing a markdown file template for recipes, which I can easily turn into a PDF (shown in the background in Zathura). This sort of setup runs even on dated hardware. Apart from sc-im, everything is in the repos.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Could someone please explain why anyone using a tiling WM would want gaps? I thought the whole point was to have no wasted space. The only logical reason I can think of is to keep the correct display ratio for a window. Getting rid of the infamous golden ration issues of the likes of dwm. No more squashing xclock in to an oval.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
It just somehow looks much better to me, dunno why, also the gaps aren't that big so no much difference.oswaldkelso wrote:Could someone please explain why anyone using a tiling WM would want gaps?

Aesthetics. Guess it's nice to see even a glimpse of the wallpaper you've so carefully chosen.oswaldkelso wrote:Could someone please explain why anyone using a tiling WM would want gaps? I thought the whole point was to have no wasted space.
Personally, I think it's like painting flames and changing rims on your $500 pickup truck from last century.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
@ kopper
Oh. I always thought if I wanted to look at your wallpaper I'd just switch to an empty workspace or open and image viewer. I guess it's sort of like having a pretty tool bar all around your windows, minus the useful stuff like paths and buttons etc. Looks like a prime candidate for the CSD team.
