Finally got around to getting Solus installed on this laptop. Pretty close to stock with a few minor tweaks...

  • Desktop: Budgie
  • Icon Theme: Papirus
  • GTK Theme: Adapta-Nokto

Found a neat way to display just a thumbnail of your desktop if you upload to imgur.

Note: It is important to see the lowercase l for large next to the first URL as it indicates that the image should be a smaller version.

Clean and simple... and with a lizard:

Desktop: Budgie
Icon theme: Papirus
GTK Theme: Plata-Noir

Christoph3 Hey, just wondering; what are you using for that weather applet? I haven't been able to find a weather applet for the Budgie panel yet.

E: Oh, just saw you already answered that question above.

    Pretty standard, just tweaked the bottom panel layout a bit.

    I have a new solus catchphrase I want to copywright: Solus. Always elegant. We can talk residuals later.

      shobu13 noelshack is very slow, try something like imgur.
