wrst | hello chris4585 | 18:47 |
---|---|---|
chris4585 | hey wrst, anything new? | 18:47 |
wrst | chris4585: i had to go to kde from gnome | 18:47 |
wrst | how about with you? | 18:47 |
chris4585 | whys that? :o | 18:48 |
chris4585 | well I'm still on openbox + cairo-dock | 18:48 |
chris4585 | gnome on manjaro was using like 50% of my cpu halfway through the day | 18:48 |
wrst | chris4585: i like gnome but they keep on removing features, and extensions from one version to another don't work and i spend more time setting it up than i should have to | 18:58 |
wrst | at least kde has the ability to be what i want without adding third party tools for the most part | 18:59 |
wrst | that break with every upgrade | 18:59 |
chris4585 | wrst, the extensions usually you just have to go to the text file and just add 3.6 to the supported list | 19:32 |
chris4585 | usually, sometimes that doesn't work | 19:32 |
chris4585 | that is understandable, if and when nautilus 3.6 gets updated, I'll still try to use 3.4 or something built off of nautilus like marlin | 19:33 |
wrst | chris4585: many didn't work they made it harder to remove and put icons in the top bar etc just not worth the hassle really | 19:33 |
chris4585 | ah, I figured you would go with xfce before kde lol | 19:34 |
wrst | chris4585: takes lots of tweaking to get it were i want it mainly | 19:36 |
chris4585 | yeah, gnome is going to kill itself before it ever gets better, they just don't realize it yet | 19:37 |
wrst | yes they are just so hard headed they don't care | 19:39 |
chris4585 | yep | 20:04 |
chris4585 | in other news looks like mate is becoming more stable | 20:04 |
chris4585 | http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_nadia_whatsnew.php | 20:04 |
wrst | never thought i woudl go that route chris4585... but... | 20:05 |
chris4585 | and adding features now that they have fixed bugs that gnome devs never did by the looks of it | 20:06 |
wrst | looks nice i'm just so not a mint fan | 20:07 |
chris4585 | I actually love mint, everything bad about it can be removed | 20:11 |
chris4585 | I feel like mint puts way more polish on their releases and actually care, compared to ubuntu... | 20:11 |
wrst | i would rather add than remove personally | 20:15 |
wrst | but that's why i run arch on the desktop also :) | 20:15 |
chris4585 | wrst, I don't really mind removing, I'm just lazy when it comes to installing arch the old way | 20:48 |
chris4585 | archbang is now updated and already comes configured with the wm I know and love | 20:48 |
chris4585 | so I'm probably going to install it soon | 20:48 |
wrst | arch isn't too bad just have the wiki handy and you are good to go | 20:49 |
chris4585 | yeah but I'm a lazy mofo | 20:50 |
wrst | its no fun for someone else to do all the work ;) | 20:51 |
chris4585 | wrst, you have a point there | 22:33 |
chris4585 | but you can learn someone else's secrets too | 22:33 |
chris4585 | by dissecting what they did lol | 22:34 |
chris4585 | wrst, http://i.imgur.com/y0dJT.jpg | 23:24 |
wrst | nice chris4585 | 23:32 |
chris4585 | thanks wrst :) | 23:37 |
wrst | chris4585: i'm just at regular ol' kde: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2959906/kde4.png | 23:39 |
chris4585 | doesn't look bad, can quassel be configured to be black background with white text? | 23:40 |
wrst | chris4585: i think so, you can do stylesheets of some sort | 23:41 |
wrst | chris4585: that is just vanilla with a changed wallpaper | 23:41 |
chris4585 | ah I may have to really try it sometime | 23:41 |
wrst | and dropbox icon i had to change | 23:41 |
wrst | well i like it i have for some time just liked gnome apps and work flow but good to learn something different :) | 23:42 |
wrst | i have to say short of the silly blue shadow thing there is a lot of polish to it | 23:43 |
chris4585 | ah, I like KDE but I just don't like their whole thing for separate desktop thingy where it changes settings | 23:45 |
chris4585 | I forgot what it was called | 23:46 |
chris4585 | the theme you have is nice | 23:46 |
wrst | that's just the stock kde 4.9 theme | 23:46 |
wrst | i have done nothing to that | 23:46 |
chris4585 | ah | 23:50 |
wrst | pretty slick straight out of the box | 23:54 |
chris4585 | yeah definitely | 23:54 |
wrst | gnome shell is also but to make it work for me i have to use some extensions and what not | 23:55 |
wrst | and this is pretty much stock i mad some cosmetic adjustments so all my icons are monochrome but nothint that effects my workflow | 23:55 |
