More important than visual "dark modes," DEs and programs should have a "detailed/compact design" setting/flavor that can be set immediately

Tags design, rant

When start some random file manager in its default GUI settings, I almost shriek in despair. It seems it's always over-padded design, with huge icons everywhere, with menus always hidden somewhere.

I like detailed lists of files most of the time. This concept is just brilliant, you have all the info you can need in a neatly organized design, can quickly order the listing clicking on some attribute-label at the top and so forth. A great addition over the years were the instant-filter...

It's HOT!!!

Posted 06-29-2023 at 02:01 PM by onebuck

I'm glad to have made the decision to stay here in Florida. Illinois is now having to struggle with the Canadian fires pushing smoke over the Midwest. I would be confined to my home because of my asthma and cardio issues. I'd go nuts! At least here I can take my meds to help through allergens.

I'm trying to gain back my muscle...

Additionally, there were some reported bugs in some stuff, G++ and/or GCC, while updating from frankendebian-pre-Bookworm to what may be a more proper bookworm release. Although I think...
