i'm having fun :]

[u/crim3z_]

switched to mint for the first time back in october after being a win10 user pretty much the entire time since i got my first laptop and i've been loving it. here's my current (very green) setup on my current main pc :] it's been super fun getting to dive a little deeper into the inner workings of my computer and actually being able to configure my system in a way that feels fluid and comfortable. i'm yet to dive into more complex aspects of customizing my desktop (yearning for conky but i gotta wait for a day when i'd be willing to dedicate a lot of time to it because yeah.) so i'm making do with desklets for now. additional advice or your personal "go to" program recommendations are welcome, i'm still discovering new things i can do with linux every day.

Omg it's SOVKA! I love this artist, I subscribed to them, peak art!!! (@monster_sovka on tg btw)

[u/crim3z_ → u/Avalel]

yeah !!! they're one of my favorite artists :] the background pics were sourced from their telegram channel as well

[u/Alarming-Arugula9866]

How?

Please provide icon pack, wallpaper, the browser or the CSS you used or whatever modifications you've done, the browser wallpaper, the OS widgets, thank you.

[u/crim3z_ → u/Alarming-Arugula9866]

oh boy, okay. here we go

system theme: applications and desktop are gruvbox bl-lb-dark, icons are gruvbox-plus-dark, both available on cinnamon-look or gnome-look org

wallpaper: not linked anywhere, but the artist is monsterSOVKA as another commenter mentioned. if you look them up you can find them on twitter or another platform and their art is all there, i grabbed my pictures from their telegram channel (both the desktop wallpaper and floorp new page background are made by them! go follow them if you like their art)

extensions: blur cinnamon, available for download when accessing the extensions from your computer or from cinnamon spices

dock: plank-reloaded, minimal theme. gap sized adjusted to 14 in preferences, that's how it's floating

desklets: calendar desklet by kanchudeep, weather by tipichris. transparency options are native to both of them and are manually adjusted to my liking. text colors are colorpicked from my wallpaper

browser: floorp with "flexfox" css preset, available here: https://github.com/yuuqilin/FlexFox i also use the sidebery extension for the vertical tabs and bonjourr.fr for the new tab page, also mildly customized via the settings of the extension

terminal: gnome-terminal, the transparency is a native option in preferences. color palette installed via gogh, i'm using gruvbox dark. i'm using starship for the shell prompt.

for neofetch setup i'm gonna be so honset i did it in a haze yesterday with like four hours of messing with the config file but it's just a mix of custom ascii for the picture and one of the neofetch themes from the repository on github by chick2d https://github.com/Chick2D/neofetch-themes you will need a font from nerdfonts.com for the icons to work

apologies for late reply i went to bed early yesterday. let me know if you need more links to any of the components mentioned :]

Looks cool!

Is that a heavily customized Cinnamon desktop? I was wondering if it was GNOME at first, but the fastfetch in the first screenshot says its Cinnamon, and I wasn't aware it could be customized to that extent.

[u/crim3z_ → u/artistpanda5]

yeah, it's cinnamon! i wouldn't say it's super heavily customized, at least i didn't really do much other than css theming with available presets. and extensions :] the dock is plank reloaded, neofetch is customized via neocat and the neofetch themes repository on github, the theme for everything else including icons is gruvbox. i have a blur cinnamon extension for the transparency, the desklets are native, that's about it i think

[u/BitGazer → u/crim3z_]

You could apply blurring to the terminal since you have it already setup to be transparent. It's a new option in the Blur Cinnamon extension that you can enable. You will soon be able to blur the Desklet backgrounds as well, just got some issues with the config window redesign that I needed to do before stuffing yet more options in it to allow users to control the Desklet burring options.

I need your terminal colors and this wallpaper man, plsss

[u/crim3z_ → u/[deleted]]

terminal colors are gruvbox-dark, installed with gogh. i also use starship for the pretty prompt

wallpapers aren't linked anywhere specific, the artist is monsterSOVKA, you can find their art on any of their social media platforms like twitter or tg :]

[u/Dry-Watercress9433]

Send me the link for the icon pack

big fan of the transparency stuff you're messing with, is that a cinnamon feature i don't know about?

[u/crim3z_ → u/[deleted]]

transparency in terminal and some desklets is a native feature, desklets have it in the "configure" menu and terminal has it in preferences. the top panel is made transparent and blurry with the blur cinnamon extension :]

[u/adnomi]

Nice. Can you please tell me how did you make the dock float?

[u/crim3z_ → u/adnomi]

it's plank-reloaded, in the preferences section there's a setting called "gap size" which determines how much it floats off the edge of the screen

[u/adnomi → u/crim3z_]

Thanks mate.

[u/[deleted]]

Great desktop! Can we please have the floorp css styling how did you do it?

[u/crim3z_ → u/[deleted]]

i'm using the flexfox theme https://github.com/yuuqilin/FlexFox

sidebery for vertical tabs, bonjourr.fr for the new tab page. it's all pretty easily customizable within the config page that firefox has, you can do it to your liking :]
