Tired of posting my desktop, so I'll just post my startpage instead.
And purple is overrated.
Joseph Ross
Pastel/flat colors are overrated.

You guys do rice your log in screens, right?

How you fuck so you get anything done on the right half of your screen? Everything is so cramped and those windows are too small to do anything useful. Ditch the "matrix art" bullshit, get a text editor that doesn't wrap, and let that terminal emulator breathe.
I know this is an aesthetics thread, but please don't sacrifice function for useless form.
3/10 your start screen screams sophomore CS major desu

From the last thread;
Looking for pic related user to post his config, I really like the colour scheme.
Blake Hall
can't you just use the color samples posted in neofetch, it's right there

how do you rice your login screen?

--- tty ricing guide ---
- install fbsplash or splashutils depending on the distro
- you're gonna need to configure and recompile the kernel
enable required kernel options, see wiki.gentoo.org
ignore the rest of the article
- install some themes you can use as templates
splash-themes-gentoo or bootsplash-themes or fbsplash-theme-natural-arch or whatever
you can try out some themes like so
splash_manager -c set --theme=THEME
that will set the theme on your current tty, to set the theme on another tty, use
splash_manager -c set --theme=THEME --tty=N
you can't apply themes that don't match your resolution
- make your own theme, it's ez
use a bg img that's in your res, put it in themedir/images, name it "verbose-.png"
edit the file named ".cfg" in themedir appropriately
just use another theme as a template, you don't need any guide or whatever to do this
if something isn't obvious, look at usr/share/doc/splashutils-1.5.4.4-r7/theme_format
- make a simple init script/systemd unit to set your login theme and tty colors on startup
(you can set a different theme in .bash_profile for post login if you want)
- setting the console (tty) font differs between distros, see your distro wiki or whatever
- don't forget to put some cool ascii in etc/issue
here's how I did it
- etc/tty_theme - file where I keep the names of the themes I'm using:
export TTY_LOGIN_THEME=login_theme
export TTY_THEME=post_login_theme
- my openrc script where I set the login theme and colors: ix.io
- relevant stuff from .bash_profile (setting the post login theme):
. etc/tty_theme
[ "$TERM" = "linux" ] && [ -z $SSH_TTY ] && \
sudo splash_manager -c set --theme=$TTY_THEME
- .bash_logout so when you log out it resets the login theme:
[ "$TERM" = "linux" ] && [ -z $SSH_TTY ] && \
sudo splash_manager -c set --theme="$TTY_LOGIN_THEME"

had to put instead of / because Jow Forums/cloudflare won't let me post if there's unix file paths
use this for tty scrots github.com

Sunny monday late afternoon greetings from Germany.
Justin Smith
New to ricing my login screen. What display manager should I be using?
Blake Martin
I'm using SLiM. It's nice and light, simple to use, and is piss easy to customize. You make a theme folder that goes under /usr/share/slim/themes. In that folder you place a png image that acts as the login panel background, the background image, and a config file that specifies the position of the UI elements as well as your fonts.
Wyatt Diaz
Browser with custom html page open takes up 60% of the screen.
Uses Gmail
Jow Forums is now educational
still using github despite micojew takeover, unless it deprecated and you have a reference for old projects
Editor opened is to small to do any work, I hope the the dead fucking god you don't edit your css/html in that small window.
Cmatrix because I'm a 133t Hax0r.
Ranger because I worship Luke Smith.
Colton Rodriguez
none
display managers serve literally no purpose
Jose Scott
Neither does half the other ricer programs in this thred, nor do wallpapers. They just look nice. Stop being retarded.
Nathaniel Jackson
Where are the ricing resources?
Which packages are required for the different aspects of ricing?
Noah Lee
emacs looking fresh
Your web browser upsets me but I don't know why but this is nice
Reeee?
This pleases me
what's up with the colors for your title bars
> BSD
I've thought about trying it out is it worth?
I have an erection and I'm in public
I like the font, taste in music and this desktop in general.
Anyone know if I can fiddle with my router settings remotely? I can ssh to my raspberry pi on my network.
Isaiah Powell
All my desktops look the same whatever DE i'm using.
No ricing, just simple and functional, whatever.
Nolan Powell
wallpaper?
Grayson Sullivan
I use KDE on my work laptop. Hobbyist machines run BSD or Devuan, and those get the rice.

>emacs looking fresh
Well it's one of the popular Doom themes (nova). Though I usually like Anti-Zenburn the Doom-Themes feel kinda fresh at the moment.
Jace Lewis
Well it looks nice. I'm to lazy to learn emacs, I just kinda use vim but your shit looks good bb
Adam Howard
the order in your list looks neat I'm out of space I don't even know why I used this shape. but I found a crt effect for text shades and it looks pretty good

Thank you, that is nice to hear. It's my 'hobby machine' where I tend to do software archaeology, though, which I enjoy a lot. I have some more 'modern' software installed as well (FF, Thunderbird, LibreOffice), so right now I wouldn't mind to use it for work as well. Besides liking the looks I really do like the simplicity of MWM (or, for that matter, twm) and I will always have a soft spot for windowmaker, which I think is just good software. And Emacs is just so helpful, if the need arises and it's always nice to have around. Quick edits I tend to do in vi/vim, which I have set up with a minor config. I want to get more into Emacs (and, someday, AucTEX).
Easton Rodriguez

Jeremiah Cook
Nice. As a Motif lover I approve! I like CDE color theme as well. I have the GTK-Theme, I just need to set the colors for the window decoration.
Matthew Sullivan
How do get browser to look like that??
Brandon Jackson
very carefully
Ayden Sanders
>nice retro
thanks, it's set up as a retro game machine, although some 3d based games are quite laggy, dunno why (i have a voodoo 3 3000 in it)
Andrew Bell
I love Motif too. It's so comfy, like an old wooden table or that wallet you've had for 5+ years. I'm working on ricing XFCE to look similar to SGI's IRIX. Also daily reminder to install fbpager. It's the desktop manager app for fluxbox but it works well with any window manager and will adapt to fit the wm theme. In this case I'm using an adapted version of Semitif for PekWM. I don't like PekWM, so I changed the file names, tweaked and recolored the images, and made a new themerc.
Gavin Scott
Where do you Jow Forumsentlemen find specific window managers that you like? And where can I learn to set up window managers instead of relying on DEs?
Liam Davis
Every DE comes with a window manager, so just use that on its own if you like it. Or you can try different stand alone window managers.

Either hackintosh, buy a real Mac, or apply a better theme to your desktop. That shit is disgusting.
Hunter Perez
... with time and trying a lot of them for yourself. A good first and comfy first impression on older X Window Manager and DEs: xwinman.org
It depends what you want to use: A tiling wm, or stacking, something modern or something ancient (maybe, like it is the case for me, for fun and out of curiosity).
Usually people using Linux or UNIX start with something easy an popular like Gnome or KDE and move to something more minimal from there (Openbox) to something more minimal even, stepping in the territory of tiling wm (Spectrwm, i3, dwm, ratpoison) to something ancient (twm, CDE, window maker, fvwm, IceWM).
I believe Window Maker is still pretty well usable even by today's standards and, like wmaker, AfterStep is pretty interesting for its history, as are the quasi standard UNIX wms like MWM or dtwm.
Gavin Wood
Disgusting.
Cooper Powell
The only cringe worthy aspect is the apple logo in the neofetch. Other than that, making it look like however you like it is one of the strengths of some DEs for Linux/Unix. Why not ...
Jonathan Thomas
The whole thing is fucking cringe, including those icons. Those are especially bad.
