Re: Screenshots - 2025

The link below shows several images of XFCE 4.20 running labwc wayland with GDM on Linix Lite 7.2. Quite promising.

Re: Screenshots - 2025

I inherited a pc that is over 10 years old. It was super slow with win10 in it, which is installed in a appear-to-be broken hard disk. So I installed Arch with Xfce (edit: it's in an ssd). Now the pc is working like new, with a way bigger screen than my old laptop 

Nice. Can you share the wallpaper, and what is the clock app in the lower left corner?

I'm late and I only saw your message this afternoon.

The desktop background is file:///usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/mgla_wiosenna.jpg
It's part of the default collection of the xfce desktop. Google mgla_wiosenna.jpg

The clock not a external app. It's an analog clock that comes with the xfce desktop itself. The rest of the clock is a background that I added.
While these settings below will work, sometimes it's too huge or small depending on your screen size. You might want to install gimp and adjust the image size in pixels

^ Use this as the background, and use the settings below. The center of the image is half transparent which is a feature that comes with the png format
You need a floating panel and the xfce clock in analog, with or without the seconds hand. By the way use the image the way you want . It's not hard for me to make it anyways. And there's no programming skills involved either

If you are using an xfce version that does not support borders, you will need an extra panel that is bigger than the face of the clock and have its background to your favorite image. by making that panel before you make the panel containing the clock. After making the panel for the clock background only, adjust to the right width by going through the panel settings, so that you can see the background in full. Always turn off shadows effect using xfce tweeks if you decide to stack panels on top of other panels. If you want a shadow outside the clock, you can always fake one by modifying the background image. (but that's more about skills in graphic..) For the panel with the clock, once you have a background under it, make the background totally transparent by either choosing a 100% transparent png, or choosing a transparent color from the solid color.

Edit... Those img still are huge .... These are the settings and images I have used. I hope they make sense

Re: Screenshots - 2025

Thank you for your feedback. The clock looks nice on the right hand corner. By the way I used to have problems when I put my snacks on the right hand side and covering the clock. But either way, having an extra clock somewhere is always a good idea 🍡

A GTK2/3/4 theme I've been working on for a few months now.

Dark Win95/98-ish, not bad.
I dislike the vertical "redmond97 se" stripe, but everything else looks really well done.

Thanks, it still needs of bit of work:  I've sank way more time into this than I ever thought I would when I picked it up earlier this year.

This is also only one theme of 41 the complete set contains (8 I made, and every official theme from Windows 95, Plus! 95 and Plus! 98).

The logo is an option that can be set in the builder script for the theme, with various customizations to it if you do want it (Font, etc).

And yes, it's similar enough to Windows 95/98 that throwing the Wine color themes the script now creates into a real Win9x install looks very, very similar:

And hopefully this doesn't trip some kind of spam filter, but you can get the current version of this theme here:

Well done. I like it better than the original. Better spacing.
Maybe touch up the system tray a bit more.

Mostly-finished Deskbar support for a theme I've been working on. Thanks to vm_x and ToZ for helping me with some stumbling blocks.
