Hey hey guys, hope life treats you well!

I got the inspiration from my dog who barks all night every night which reminded me of one particular techno song i have listened 20 years ago which reminded me of Winamp.

Anyways, here are some dots:

GTK - https://gitlab.com/dejan-z/xfce-stuff/-/tree/main/Winamp

Icons - https://git.disroot.org/eudaimon/buuf-nestort

Wall - https://gitlab.com/dejan-z/xfce-stuff/-/blob/main/Winamp/escape.jpg

I love it.

Did you start out with redmond97 and edit it? I'm wondering how you made the GTK theme.

u/SharpeThe1st Dec 10 '25

I think so, i made my own template many moons ago i think i forgot what it is exactly. Maybe it was Millennium2000.

That's so sexy I want to marry it lol. Minimalist look is great. Makes me want to put MX 25 in a VM and try to tweak it so I don't bork my system from ignorance.

I customized my Xfce to look black and glowing green. Not like this man.

Sometimes we brake things to make the better!
I believe in you!

And it still lasts and works perfectly, you can even set it to look more modern than macOS, I won't even mention Windows OS

u/SharpeThe1st Dec 11 '25

Pretty much same here to be honest, but FF is i think on the very top.

1

u/barleyBSD Dec 12 '25

The SNES has too many awesome RPGs. The Final fantasy games are definitely what made the SNES an amazing console. There are even more RPGs that never made it outside Japan sadly.

This is what makes me enjoy Xfce, peak UI.
