hdansin Beautiful! Do you know if the transparency works fine with Qogir theme? I tested in the past and some themes didn't worked with transparency.

      [deleted] I really appreciate the default theme, Solus + Budgie = Perfection 😄

      Unfortunately, Plata is no longer default theme.

          Solarmass Yeah, I'm having issues with the login screen. Unfortunately, Plata seems to be abandoned 🙁. Hope the new theme is as good as Plata.

            I have not tried it with transparency. It is available in the repos if you want to give it a try.

              Just a few changes (Gnome). Switched to Dash to Panel. Switched WM Theme to ZorinGrey-Dark. I found the Zorin Themes look a lot more refined on my 4k display.

              I'm just a little curious (and envious) about how you can post full-frame images to the forum. The couple of times I've tried that, it always fails with a javascript error. How do you and others here manage to do it?

                  WetGeek I usually upload it to imgur (or some other service; to save bandwidth and disk space on the forum server), then copy the image link and embed it in my post with
                  ![](link-to-image)

                      Thanks, I should have thought of that. I've used Microsoft One Drive for that brfore.

                        I get the screenshot ("png"), reduce to 50% (that is, 1920x1080 > 960x540), then save as "jpg" to cut file size (png is wasteful, jpg more efficient). The end result is a file about 10-15% of the original size (that is, 150-175kb rather than 1.2mb). At that point, I copy it in. I resize, as noted, but simple conversion from png to jpg without resizing drops file size to about 30% of the original png screenshot, and allows it to load.

                            not exactly - PNG is more optimal for images with a small colour palette, and JPEG is better for more complicated images e.g. photos. if your desktop wallpaper is just a solid colour or some kind of pixel art, and there are no drop shadows or whatever, then PNG might actually be smaller for some desktop screenshots! I guess it depends on a variety of factors, though.
