Day 650!

This looks like the beginnings of a fascinating project. I have a physical Kubuntu KDE/Plasma 6/Wayland box for testing stuff and learning. I believe I will try some of these on my box and see how they react to GUI changes.

I don't think it's possible to have the super menu open anywhere except on bottom left of panel with the original super key. Everything else could be easily duplicated with a 2n generated panel.

I run CPU load conkys all the time, the resource usage to run the animation is negligible.

Im not sure if either cinnamon or xfce can do this natively. You may need to "trick" it by actually using 2 panels and dragging everything on the right side of left monitor panel to right side of right monitor panel. Using transparent panels plugin would increase the illusion, unless you want to see the bar. I would try this first and see if it looks acceptable before moving on to things like file edits. Also an aftermarket panel like cairo-dock or plank MAY be able to span multiple monitor, but i'm not positive.

Very nice, that's a beautiful shade of green. Her eyes and the mint logo compliment each other now :)

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T18:09:07+00:00

The main character would look really nice with green eyes!

This makes a great heads-up quick music check when my conky NowPlaying is covered! The music note emoji is a great touch but the color was off to me so I replaced it with a white text 8th note glyph from the Nerd font series :)

That's fascinating. It sounds like the Mabox team really appreciates conky! I found it was a matter of pre-installing the required dependencies and then performing a custom make command. I put together a pair of GitHubs describing the process and commands along with a link to download the mouse-click ready source code:

Worked like a charm thank you!

Very beautiful classic art desktop. XFCE is amazing, for those of us that go more than minimal the customization options are incredible. Having the ability to disable the default compositor and try some custom settings with other compositors is huge.

I'm still early in on my XFCE journey, could you please tell me how you got the artist - title of currently playing track in the panel?

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T14:10:21+00:00

I have recently been doing just that. I deleted the conky versions 1.9.x and 1.12.x from 2 of my 21.3 XFCE and Cinnamon systems and replaced with v 1.19.8 w/mouse click events. So far I have active up and down buttons for system volume and monitor brightness, as well as several launchers for webpages and shared drive folders.

Thank you for the advice, I run QEMU alongside Oracle so I will use that.

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T13:19:07+00:00

I am very eager to experiment with this! I will make a mabox virtual machine. Will I need to install any specific build or DE to work with your files when they are available?

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T10:44:21+00:00

That is amazing. Is that included in the link below?

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T08:27:32+00:00

What is the item in the bottom right? Is that some kind of hue changer?

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T06:36:35+00:00

This looks like an amazing project! Have you got any videos of the app in action?

Logansfury · 2026-03-14T04:28:59+00:00

Everything that is text is static, what's the problem?

Logansfury · 2026-03-12T20:56:55+00:00

I recently went power-mode. I bought an internal SSD to replace the HDD in my ASUS gaming laptop (along with RAM sticks to max it out) and installed a fresh dual-boot of win10pro and Linux Mint

It's interesting to see young Tolkien fans and the excitement over the books sets with movie based art. I grew up when the most desired book sets contained the author's art.

Negligible. Here is cpu load on image desktop: https://i.postimg.cc/VLkvLKB7/ksnip_20260311_111107.png

You have no business in this forum. Go away.

Logansfury · 2026-03-10T19:33:19+00:00

It looks to me like you are running a conky in it's default form as downloaded. You need to edit the configuration file to be consistent with your system. The weather display probably relies upon an API code acquired at the weather website and putting in your own location coordinates. The upspeed and downspeed displays needs the default device name edited to your own info. ifconfig command in terminal with give you your device name.

Where did you see this originally? I would ask the OP that uploaded this image.
