My current 16.04 desktop

Wow. Gnome-Pie… I didn’t know it before. I’m learning everyday something new. :slight_smile:

Hi guys, this is my second desktop, it's the one I have on my 64GB Micro SD card, which I always carry with me and use on any computer..

For a peverted laugh, I thought I would see how much I could theme Um up to exactly look like the old win95

Quite a lot as it turns out…:slight_smile:

I just love this simple setting, few adjustments that I made was to make the upper bar autohide, cause it looks better with fullscreen windows like mozilla and it gives a little more space (needed in 1366x768 res.) And I had to relocate the power button, because sometimes, too often for my taste, I hit power instead of closing the fullscreen window.

Hi, is that Cairo-dock ?

autohide helps with 2 panels … could be a way to go ! :grinning:

This is something that I was thinking and actually did after posting this desktop, I realised, that I got used to the idea of a bar at the bottom so much because of windows that it didn’t even get on my mind to autohide it.
It’s gone.
There is even more space now <3

Numix GTK
Ultra flat icons
Plank > pantheon-Tomas theme

Nice evening to all...

What font is this theme using?

Here's mine...

Looks very like Windows 98, eh?

But that's the beauty of Linux. You can customize the desktop to how you desire (and however you feel comfortable) to your heart's desire.

Yes, my menu button does say Start. It even looks like a Windows 98 Start button. but the Ubuntu logo instead of the Windows logo... but the menu is nowhere near a Win98 menu... more like a cross between a KDE Plasma menu and a Windows XP menu... I love it.

In fact, I named the theme Windows 98 Called and Would Like Their Desktop Back!

The fact of the matter is, I'm used to the Windows 98 desktop paradigm, I basically jumped from Windows 98, which I used for many years, used XP for a couple then when Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) happened, I jumped over... never looked back.

My current desktop - watching Netflix on one screen while browsing around and working on some websites.

I’m using the icons & theme from Ubuntu Studio 10.04.
