brent the top panel is my normal.

I suspected the problem might be changing from bottom panel to top panel or vice-versa when I change from one machine to another. That can get maddening -- always moving the mouse pointer to something that isn't there half the time.

So, after I wrote that reply, I changed my workstation to match the way my laptop is set up. Since I'm using one of those two about 99% of the time, I've gotten much more accustomed to where the menu, and other panel features are, and now I instinctively move the mouse pointer to the right place to begin with.

That's way less stressful than having just one machine set up that way, as I did I did earlier. It seems I can get used to a top panel a lot easier than I would have expected.

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.

Nothing fancy

riffer

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.

Like the new wallpapers from update !

Solarmass

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

wingman-4

Solarmass
Yes , it's a fork. There are multiple colors available.

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.

Jumpy ooh that's nice

Updated clock font, Arc-Darker theme, and one of my all time favorite backgrounds.

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.
 %a %d %b %H:%M
If you prefer AM/PM
 %a %b %d %I:%M %p
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.

Miko

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

h3o

c2p

nice work, how did you make your clock font bigger and bolder like that?

c2p

Miko It's called Plata-Colors -> https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1342612/

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!

Solus Budgie

***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.

Hi Brent,
which package did you install too get that dock (up there)?

WetGeek

brent I never get sick of the old solus Tullamore pics.

My wife and I used to use that (or similar) as our lock screen backgrounds, so when we locked our computers at night, they displayed that night scene. Now, we just hibernate them, so they turn off completely at night, and I kinda miss those backgrounds.

EDIT: That reminds me, I miss Tulamore Dew, as well. I need to add some to our next grocery order.

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.

Would you tell us which wallpaper that is?
Could you share it with us?
It's such a nice photograph!
