Doesn't *have* to be complex. Can be just a couple of themes off xfce-look.org and some icons. Any resemblance to an operating system produced by a well known North American Vendor is purely to cut training times

.

This is Slackware 14.1/MLED with the whisker-menu bound to Mod4 and a Conky clock script I pinched from somewhere.

Here is a screenshot of gnome3.18 on Slackware 14.2 beta 2.

Just a little preview, stay tuned for some announcements soon

Same as previous

Does this mean that abomination GNOME 3 is going to be shipped with Slackware?

belka.ew · 02-09-2016, 11:00 AM

abomination Gnome, abomination systemd, abomination wayland - everything is a side project: https://github.com/Dlackware. oh man... the first time in my life I don't know what I should answer.

Actually I think it means somebody is doing a huge amount of work to present another option for Slackware users...

Here is my rig running 14.2 beta 2 with Mate-Compiz combo, Infinality font patches for improved font rendering, and QT-Curve KDE/GTK2 widget style. That way I have total visual conformity between both Gtk and Qt apps.

Look forward to try it out, gnome3 has grown on me after setting up Fedora for a few people. I'd prefer using it on top of Slackware of course.

After many days, and a lot of configuring/modifying/patching/manually patching I think I may move from echinus to dwm. It no longer has the problems that it used to have, and now I've found that I need far more control over the screen than I used to. So a moderately modified tabbed + dwm (perhaps even st if I feel up to it) configured just right so tabbed works right along side dwm with my preferences in mind. The only two things I need to work on is my tabs.sh script for dealing with the tabbed sessions, colors, fonts, etc, and making modifications to dwm's bar so I can view the battery state when I transfer all this to my laptop.

Meh! It's coming along nicely, I think.

Slackware 14.1 and vanilla Trinity DE. I'm really enjoying this at the moment ...
