Axios what I wouldn't do for a lanshare desktop icon...try your clock with :seconds for a real-time thrill. Solus Mate is beautiful even with the XP throwback theme.

      brent Solus budgie win7 theme on laptop Think I got icon from the source code file off github.
      Thing is everything is proper on theme.

          Axios It would be great to have a panel theme to go with the w7 vibe.

              Axios wowsers where's waldo/where's budgie? nicely done

                lf-araujo Not sure if that can be done will have to research it when get time.

                      My aims were to maximise available vertical space on a small widescreen laptop, push information to the top of the screen for ergonomics, and still allow easy management of multiple windows and desktops (ie. no auto-hide).

                      Solus/Budgie makes it so simple to create a custom desktop to-spec. I've never come across another distro/DE that combines the flexibility, ease-of-use and pleasing aesthetics. Hope I never have to leave!

                        new look

                        New look. Scan of a picture taken by a film camera, then generated the color scheme with pywal. Budgie is great, despite what recent headlines might lead you to believe 🙂. Just replaced Nautilus with Caja.

                        alec685 I see this as the intended Solus Classic (circa 2018) look: crisp, elegant, simple, dark. Nice.

                        alec685 I've been using solus for 2 years and I don't miss Windows like I thought I would,

                        when I took my leap of faith and cut the cord I kept it around but I didn't miss it.
