Can we have a desktop thread? Anonymous 11882
Well, I figured since some of you came from lainchan a desktop thread wouldn't be a bad idea I guess?
Just post your desktop as it is right now (or in a way you wouldn't mind people seeing it lol).

Anonymous 18309
>>18308Sounds like you have a chomebook or something. You should be able to download games but I think there are performance issues when running them off an external drive.
There's also very few games that would run on a laptop like that.
What are you looking to buy? A laptop or a desktop? And for what purposes.

>>18309I need a laptop for school so something like that. A gaming laptop would be a viable option but honestly I don’t really think I need all the extra Fanciness that comes with those things like crazy storage and graphics. Just something that will run Steam and the games off of there, and I only play like two games at a time so it’s not like I need something that will hold a huge library of vidya.
Anonymous 18311
>>18310depending what games you want to play, it won't be so much about storage space but about the graphics card, which is $$$. some of those steam games are really hard to run, it's not a run one run all type of thing
Anonymous 18315
>>18310If you wanna play steam games (anything other than pixel indie type) you'll need a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. The Lenovo Y520 is good price/value laptop. The basic one (1050ti graphics card) with a 2tb drive is like $800 and it should be more than enough for anything you need both gaming and space wise.

that laptop is a cringe inducing piece of garbage.
just buy a lenovo yoga 730 15inch. It has the same NVIDIA card and it even doubles as a tablet so u can draw stuff/write some notes. If you don't play newer games you could even buy the cheaper 13 inch model and save like 200$ i think
If you're not in the US though I think the dell inspiron 5000 (or 7000) 13 2 in 1 is cheaper (althought I think one of these models loses it's color over time and ends up looking kinda ugly)

>>18485The one you're suggesting has a worse GPU (1050 not 1050 ti), a quarter of the storage space of the Y520 (albeit the SSD on the yoga 730 is much faster there's an option to go for an SSD on the Y520 too if that's what you want), it has a worse cooling system AND is more expensive by @ 200$. While it has a better screen (4k vs 1080p) you're not going to be able to run any semi modern game with that resolution anyways so it's pointless. She mentioned nothing about wanting to draw on it which is the only reason why you'd wanna pick the yoga 730 over the y520.

Hello I tried to make my computer a bit oldschool, does anyone have any ideas what I could put or any cute winamp skins? It's windows 10 but I turned on the high contrast settings which lets you change button, text and background color like in older windows. Web browsers take on the colors too.
I know it's a bit ugly that's why I posted here, where there are so many people with great taste.

Thank you so much, I don't know much about customization but I recommend when you do switch to windows to get Rainmeter, which has a lot of widgets, like the clock I have on the bottom and the two characters (which are animated - you could even make an entire animated wallpaper too).
But I have to say although I like that all my windows are purple now, it's not optimized to work this way, some websites look a bit weird and some buttons are pure black anyway

>>53556Thanks I like your desktop too. It is pretty aesthetic. I think something like white would go better with the dark pink instead of the bright color on New Page though. Have you tried using firefox with userChrome.css to style it? I don't use it myself but I saw some cool designs made with it.
https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.htmlI'm using Linux with KDE Plasma desktop.
Anonymous 53565
>>53561Thanks, I checked out some user.Chrome.css designs and they really look cool! I use microsoft edge, but I'm sure I can also do something like that. On my new tab page a white color would definitely look better but I turned on high contrast mode which lets you choose window colors and then overrides every window color so I can't change it. It looks pretty bad on some sites tbh(for example this site) would not recommend to anyone looking for a perfect stylish look.
That rainbow matrix is so cool!! It looks like a rain of candy.
>>53562If you use windows and rainmeter I can share them with you if you want to use them too. They are animated. I can also make more; I have a jojo mugen game which I can get sprites from, which has characters from other parts too so I'm not limited to part 3 characters. So if you want any jojo character on your desktop tell me and I can make it for you.

Jonathan looks like pic related though, the sprite isn't as pretty as in the heritage for the future game because it was made by someone unrelated.

I refuse to change my wallpaper from the one I had 5 years ago
Anonymous 121938
>>121662Too bad, I'm gonna explain anyways.
I've installed Windows 7 recently on a new SSD because I refuse to use Win10 and for other reasons. But I haven't really felt like customizing it a lot, so I have left a lot of stuff intact. I deleted some taskbar icons that I didn't need though. I should probably delete the shortcuts related to graphics card settings next, along with with the browser shortcuts (I kept them there out of habit).
Also, I don't save wallpaper images as I don't want a generic one, and most of the ones related to my interests are random upscaled or compressed or cropped (fan)art, and I hate looking at beautiful digital art if it's not in its original resolution and quality. Making a wallpaper would be ideal but I haven't had the time or inspiration yet. So I decided to keep the default Windows 7 wallpaper because it looks clean and simple but it's also kinda pretty. I would be happy with a plain blue or black background, though. So in the end it's either a plain color/default and simple wallpaper, or a wallpaper that feels more personal but has to be perfect, since I'm so picky in that regard.
I draw and make VNs
(allegedly) so I have Clip Studio and Ren'Py shortcuts.
I have downloaded a bunch of VNs, but most of them are in my old hard drive and haven't moved them yet, so I only have one game in that VN folder. The PDF reader is for epubs, otherwise I would've pirated Adobe Acrobat instead.
And lastly, I've started making subtitles (my first project is just translating pre-existing subs), so I got Aegisub for the subs, and OmegaT to speed up the translation process with a translation memory (which I should've learned how to use in uni). Actually I was going to make a super-autistic post about why I'm doing this in the vent thread but I felt better by the time I finished writing it.
And I like to use the 24-hour format for time and year-month-day format for date.

hy can't we change fonts (and its color), change the trashcan's icon or pick light colors for the navibar? The navibar one specially irritates me, couldn't they make it so if we pick a light color, the font turns black instead of white so it's readable?

I don't really use windows anymore but I was obsessed with customising everything when I did
>Why can't we change fontsI recall an option to change the font (Windows 7) but it seems that option was dropped in Windows 10
Personally, I'd go back to default because I couldn't get used to it but if it's something you're seeking out to do you can just search "windows 10 change font"
Here's a link:
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-system-font-windows-10
>change the trashcan's iconYou can definitely change the recycling bin icon, here's a link but you can also just search "windows 10 recycle bin icon"
Link:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-change-recycle-bin-icon
>pick light colors for the navibarI highly recommend installing "Open-Shell-Menu". It makes your start menu just like the one in Windows 7 (the start menu in Windows 10 feels like a total downgrade tbh) as well as letting you customise the "navibar"
I remember being able to pick any colour (even light colours) for the taskbar but I'm not 100% sure since it's been a while since I've last used it and would mainly choose the transparent look

Also you're a lifesaver! Somehow I didn't think of changing the icon on the system settings… Since "change icon" doesn't appear on the trashcan, so I created a shortcut and changed its icon, but then I couldnt move the original trashcan inside a folder or something… Now finally my trash has been yassified.

Totally get the concern about bloat, so maybe look into Audacious?

It’s lightweight and can run winamp skins (also open source if you care about that)
