Axios Time to delve deep into GTK theming!

    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.

      DE: Budgie 10.6.4
      Theme: Plata-Noir
      Icons: Papirus
      I've been using solus for 2 years and I don't miss Windows like I thought I would, 😄

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

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

              @1371#58298 really wish I could get the red Papirus icons like this again. I have no idea where I got it

                Staudey YES that was it, I recall using one of the papirus-folders scripts to get it working on Solus, thanks a million
                I also notice I was using a red variant of plata in that photo, completely forgot about that.
                If Budgie had some sort of accent color option, these colored folders would be a perfect fit IMO
