I've never tried printing from a PDF viewer, sorry (I didn't even know that could be done) — the only PDFs I deal with are generated by texlive, qtpdfview seems to render such documents very well indeed:

LXQt is a very nice desktop but Qt configuration confuses the hell out of me and Trolltech.conf makes that worse :?

Also, session management is bloat so it's back to basics:

Image

^ That's bspwm & xfce4-panel (with volumeicon-alsa & xfce4-power-manager in the systray, fuzzy clock ftw!), started from ~/.xsessionrc:

Code: Select all

# ~/.xsessionrc
xset s 300
sh ~/.fehbg
xfce4-panel --disable-wm-check &
volumeicon &
xfce4-power-manager
exec bspwm
I've set multi-user.target as the default with the desktop autostarted by this line in ~/.profile:

Code: Select all

[ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ] && exec startx

Thank you, Head_on_a_Stick :) Yes, it is terminator with Solarized color scheme.After long use of the urxvt terminal, I decided to get a more comfortable option.

LXQt/bspwm. Very nice. I like this idea.

Nice, I've been using GNOME for my Debian life. I use a mixture of Frippery Clock Move, Pitch Dark, Activities Configurator, Open Weather and Mist theme to get things looking how I want.

Current desktop - Greenland. One day...

I had hard time once with Xmonad. So i gave up for herbstluftwm, but that WM is ultra fast, lighter and very configurable for those who own it.

Xmonad + Ratpoison + dwm = three kings.

Wiped sid and installed stretch in it's place, I went for the full GNOME this time:

Image

Very pretty and polished but it uses up too much memory :cry:

So I re-installed again:

EDIT: fixed the font configuration and installed the Win10 fonts (Arial is set as sans-serif), please don't tell rms :oops:

Hello all. Beautiful desktops, mine is xfce. Considering KDE, but not sure if I want to go back down that route just yet. Cheers!

Basking in the glory of my customised Win7...I mean, MATE!
Image
I tried to capture MATE Menu, but it would just vanish after pressing PrintScreen.
EDIT: Nah, it was just me being stupid. Thx debiman
Btw, this is Stretch install. I don't have the will to maintain Sid anymore, so MATE fit in nicely there, too.

doesn't your screenshooter have a delay option?
set delay ~5s - comfortably open mate menu - wait for shot.
