This is my Slackware desktop...

@enorbet:

Might be worth looking at a more recent unigine effort. I am going to experiment a little with this on my upcoming days off...

Pretty much the same as it's been (blackbox, with a gray theme), just a different background and a view of how the menus look in the theme.

Well, andrew.46, I followed your link and downloaded the new Superposition benchmark from Unigine. It has less user control than my version of Heaven had, offering only 3 levels of quality that switch several components as a unit package deal. My box blazed on the default Medium but it staggered a bit on Extreme, dropping some frames having a lowest FPS in the 20s... decent average though. I'm actually quite pleased with the High setting as I checked out other scores online and there were literally only a handful above me (like 239th place) that were i5s and all of them were at least 25% higher clock than mine. That does bring up a sore point though since even when on the Extreme setting, dropping some frames, my CPU never even reached it's default top speed of 3550 !!! It never went above 3290 and that kinda pisses me off after all the work I did to get a rock solid 4000 OC out of it. I guess I only have myself to be pissed off at since I setup the system but I really don't understand why throttling down when not required also equals never throttling up even close to default Max.

Anyway here's my results at the "High" setting

Note: I'm beginning to think it might be a good idea to start a new thread as this is new and we've used up much of our compatriots hospitality here

Thanks all.

Here's my current Trinity Desktop on Slackware. Keramik style, Noia icons... what would KDE be without them

1920x1080 JPG 637 kb

Probably would get resized as an attachment.

Heya The RealGrogaan it expands to full screen here and man is that a gorgeous dark themes. Nice job.

Share some (extra small) gtk3 styles, snippets, whatever. I got a few that I wrote from scratch.
It's for ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css that is empty on Slackware, which means all gtk+3 is white!

This one's just hardcore, grey text on black and nothing else.
The most minimal gtk style:

Code:

* {
 background-color: #000000;
 color: #888888;
 background-image: none;
 border-image: none;
 box-shadow: none;
 text-shadow: none;
 icon-shadow: none;
 outline-color: #111;
 outline-style: solid;
 outline-width: 1px;
 border-color: #111111;
 border-style: solid;
 border-width: 1px;
}

This one's more or less the same, but with highlights:

Code:

* {
 background-color: #000000;
 color: #888888;
 background-image: none;
 border-image: none;
 box-shadow: none;
 text-shadow: none;
 icon-shadow: none;
 outline-color: #111;
 outline-style: solid;
 outline-width: 1px;
 border-color: #111111;
 border-style: solid;
 border-width: 1px;
}
.background * {
 color: #888888;
 background-color: #000000;
}
*:selected {
 color: #FF6600;
 background-color: #003047;
}
*:selected:prelight {
 color: #FF6600;
 background-color: #003047;
}
*:insensitive {
 color: #777777;
 background-color: #000000;
}
*:hover {
 color: #C2A189;
 background-color: #003047;
}
*:active {
 color: #FF6600;
 background-color: #003047;
}

I'm always using wildcards because it's just a few lines of code.
And no, I won't write additional ten thousand lines of CSS to avoid using wildcards (Because Slack etc.)

Pretty cool, mate. Do you have a self-hiding Taskbar Panel or not use it at all?

I currently don't use one, but your question does give me an idea...

I got fed up with everything being modern and flat.

enorbet · 07-06-2019, 07:44 PM

Heheh Lysander, that reminds me of old times when people would print out photos of BSODs and tape them to monitor screens in the next cubicle and wait for the cursing and gnashing of teeth.

Oh wait... that's was after NT and you have Win95 wallpaper. That would be General Protection Fault LOL.

SCerovec · 07-07-2019, 02:03 AM

the BSOD screensaver is really a knacker for work environments

Wow: this is the first time I've read anything on changing gtk3 that I was able to understand (and use). Thanks!

edit: p.s. How my gtk3 looks at the moment, changed the colors to gray with skyblue for the active/highlight/selected bits. Still crude, a bit like the amiga workbench when set to only one bitplane: need to figure out how to get the beveled look.

elcore · 07-08-2019, 11:28 PM

Looks a bit like dusk the qt style. The sky-blue highlight doesn't fit well on that background.
Dark navy-blue selector with bright text would fit much better, but that's just my point of view.

Anyway, qt is much easier to style because of qt5ct. It can export colors lists in plaintext, so no worry about css wildcards or syntax.
It can also load css but not required for styling, while in gtk3 the colors are forced (compiled in) where they should not be, so css is required.
