WetGeek It seems I can get used to a top panel a lot easier than I would have expected.

you can get used to almost anything (but Gnome😉). in endeavour I've left budgie on the bottom. solus at the top--it's just like you say: muscle memory/feels right--all birds of a feather....but also like you said, once instinct takes over it's harder to go from version to version. there's benefit to some uniformity I think.

    diagnostics0 I really like that.

    Of course, I'm one of those users who only sees the desktop just long enough after boot to open the first app; But this sure is pretty.

      wingman-4 yes! Love black Panel and header-bars too!
      Plata-BlueGray? Is that a fork?
      Also is that Task List on the left side? Never saw such config with icons in the center + Task List on the left.
      Bcs there is not a lot of space for the Task List

          Just recently learned to customize gtk.css and came up with this based on the Mint-Yz:

          I like my scrollbars always visible.
          The notification bell animates/flashes for any unreads.
          That's a home made image viewer in the midle with preloading,
          support for rar archives and seamless file move-copy operations.

          The terminal is already pretty good, but might still be facing customizations next.

            Greetings from Germany.
            Please excuse me but english is not my first language.
            I'm using Solus OS Budgie for round about four years and i had to say thank you to the team, all the people behind and to the community for there hard work to make this happened.
            I like Budgie a lot but the only annoying thing was that tiny, little clock in the budgie-panel which has no option for font and size.
            I found a solution that works for me. If anybody find it useful feel free to tinker with it.
            Go to Budgie-Desktop-Settings -> Panel -> Clock -> custom format -> copy one of the codes from above and paste it in. You will see the effect.
            <span font_desc="Droid Sans 12"> %a %d %b </span> <span font_desc="Droid Sans 13" weight="Bold" >%H:%M</span>
            If you prefer AM/PM
            <span font_desc="Droid Sans 12"> %a %b %d </span> <span font_desc="Droid Sans 13" weight="Bold" >%I:%M %p</span>
            If you like my bash-prompt go to home/your username -> show hidden files -> find .bashrc -> open with gedit -> copy and paste the code above under the line that was in the .bashrc file. Don't forget to make a copy before.
            PS1='\n\[\e[0;30m\]┌─[\[\e[1;34m\u\e[0;30m\]]──[\e[0;31m\w\e[0;30m]──[\[\e[1;34m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[0;30m\]]\[\e[0;30m\]: \$\[\e[1;30m\]\n\[\e[0;30m\]└────╼ \[\e[0;30m\]>> \[\e[00;00m\] '

            All in all a very nice "green". I like the new style. Many thx to the team.

              c2p What's the theme used here? I'm trying to find some nice one with green accents

                  Got an older Laptop from a friend of mine because Win11 is too slow on this machine.
                  The install and update of Solus KDE went smooth, all fine.
                  All in all a very nice Laptop.

                    c2p it's amazing how poorly current Windows runs on perfectly decent hardware!


                      ***I am brand new to the budgie dock. two weeks now. I like the very clean look. and I never get sick of the old solus Tullamore pics.

                        I've done a lot of little tweaks over the years with Solus - custom styles, four custom system tray apps I made, rotating wallpapers, etc. Really like how I've gotten it by this point.
