This is my Slackware desktop...

I would rather have a local copy of my settings. But that is an option I suppose. Thanks for the info.

Here is what I mean about matching the Cinnamon DE,

Oh, that does look great. How did you get that country flag in your address bar?

If you want to export your settings locally, it may be worth going to vivaldi://about and then copying the profile path into your file manager and copying the files over somewhere for safe keeping.

Note that if you are moving these files to another computer to use Vivaldi there, the passwords and extensions will have to be reset. So in that case it's better to sync.

Extension: IP Domain Country Flag

It is the country flag of where the domain that you are visiting is hosted. That is a must for me and glad that I found it for Vivaldi, I use a different addon for Waterfox.

I also got a Vivaldi account, we'll see how it goes.

EDIT:
I (mostly) got rid of the slight difference with the titlebar

A Raspberry pi 4 B running the latest slackwarearm-current. I tested and compared a full Raspbian installation vs Slackware ARM. Slackware had no lag, low latency and the best stability- as usual. Now, where did I put my spare SD cards...

-current running i3-gaps

It's been a while since I posted one of these so here's my latest. Plasma 5 with simply-white-circle icons. I'm liking the latte dock with justified icons. Also nice I don't have to build it anymore since its been added in ktown.

Also put up my yakuake with the obligatory neofetch cause its a neat addition. Nice having a tiling terminal a keypress away

Just -current with Alien Bob's Plasma 5.

Just finished converting my HTPC to Slackware:

Nice cinnamon setup Sakendo.

Maybe I'm a dolt but I couldn't figure out how to make the clock widget bigger in plasma5 so I scrapped it. It'd be nice to have it looking like that.

My clock is via Conky. Config:

own_window_class override

minimum_size 253
maximum_width 253

# Alignment

# Graphics

# Text

Under Desktop Settings -> Tweaks, make sure "Press and hold widgets to move them and reveal their handles" is checked. Then when you press and hold the mouse over the clock widget, you'll see some circles that you can drag to resize it as in the screenshot. It doesn't look as fancy as what can be achieved with Conky, but it is functional.

0XBF · 10-29-2019, 09:24 PM

@montagdude
Thanks for that. It was already enabled, I just didn't try pressing long enough to get the handles to show up. I'm happier with it now.

@Skaendo

Thanks for sharing the conky code. I have yet to install conky and play around with it, although every time I see it implemented it looks pretty good. I'll have to revisit your example once I start messing around with it.

Using conky and conky-manager off of SBo works great. Then you can work on your own configs in ~/.conky, and turn on/off/reload them on the fly with conky-manager. There are tons of configs on the internet as well.

I've had "bigger and better" conky configs that had all the bells and whistles, but in the end all I really need (want) is the clock and date.

This is my backyard with Xsnow running.

Getting ready for Hallowe'en/Samhain. As far as I'm concerned, this is the first Hallowe'en night, another tomorrow. Why just restrict the celebration to one night.
