The Current Debian Desktop

This time with a bit of a flashback.
A favorite icon theme of days gone by, GNOME Colors, particularly GNOME Human, a theme I've used and abused some 11 years ago (Boy... Time surely flies when you use Linux...).
Also sporting a "revisited" (modified by yours truly) favorite wallpaper, the Ubuntu wallpaper from Hardy Heron (8.04).
I used to love the "Ubuntu Browns", back in the day.

A little more Numix love on my beloved Optiplex 755 USFF.
Also, sporting some Gruvbox coolness on the X term.

Well. yes, I'm creature of habits, I keep going back and forth between Adapta and Numix, and that's just that.
I love both of them, Adapta seems a little more modern, while Numix reminds a lot to Ubuntu Browns that were all the rage around 8.04, and that I loved, of course.

Between Adapta & Numix

I've noticed that for the last couple of years there were only two GTK themes that I use, maybe for a little while, say, a week or so, switch to a different one, but, invariably, I go back to these two.
The themes are, of course, Numix and Adapta.
Obviously I love those pretty much, they even look amazing without any composite working, that is, even without the drop-shadow effect enabled both themes look slick, modern and kick ass.
Basically, if I want something warm, I go with Numix, and if I'm on the mood for a cooler, bluish theme, then Adapta; matter of fact, IMHO, Numix is like the new Human theme, another GTK theme that I used to love, way back when Ubuntu was famous for its Browns hues.

Been a while since I've posted a screenshot, so here it goes.
How things look at the Optiplex as of yesterday.
As usual, the lovely Numix icons, a long time companion of mine.
The window manager theme, Victory Med Dark, its been used because it offers better separation for the windows, since I'm not using an compositor and drop shadow effect.

The setup on the Optiplex as of today, it's been a while since I've posted a desktop screenshot here.
Numix glory all around!
I love how everything looks on the Apple Cinema Display!

A little something, it has been a while since I've posted a screenshot of my daily driver, the Mighty Optiplex, around here.
The wallpaper it is from a picture I took today... Summer is blooming all around...

The current Linux Mint desktop

What the MacBook Pro looks like as of today.
A bit of dark, with a slightly lighter background and colorful icons (Numix).

The current Linux Mint desktop

In the process of propagating the Dropbox comeback on all of my lappies and stuff, I've stumbled upon what I consider this beautiful Linux On The Desktop Moment.

Mirror, Mirror

Well, this is a new one...
It popped up this morning, I've never seeing this error in the years running Mint.
Simply changed the mirror, as the same error message suggests, and everything seems to be A Ok.

The current Linux Mint desktop

The upper screenshot shows my current setup, running a custom made theme, based on Linux Mint's "Mint-Y" but with some added elements from "Mint-X".
Taking a lot of inspiration from Cinnamon's Mint-X theme (lower screenshot).

Welcome Back, Global Menu

Giving my old friend the Global Menu a new opportunity.
Installed yesterday, seems to be working just fine.

The current Linux Mint desktop

Haven't posted one of this in quite a long time... And I really mean a long time... I tend to forget lately, and I'm not much onto window shopping these days.
As a bonus, a picture of my beloved MBP.

The current Linux Mint desktop

A lot of time since I've post a screenshot here on dear ole Oesediez...
This is the one I'm using on the new Macbook Pro, nothing fancy, a plain Adapta + Numix icons setup beauty.
Life is good.

Numix (the WM) got Fatter

I've noticed this yesterday, Numix seems to have gotten a little fatter, specially on its butt, or its lower parts... That is, the bottom border of the window frame got a little wider.
IIRC, there wasn't an extra thick bottom border before.

Adapta Update && Adapta Update

I usually install the themes I use manually, extracting them and copying to /usr/share/themes.
But about a month or so ago installed Adapta & Numix thru a PPA on most of the boxes around here.
Ever since one thing that baffles me it is how many updates the theme gets, sometimes even twice a day.

The current Linux Mint desktop

My Linux Mint setup these days...
This screenshot comes from the Opti, but I pretty much have the same thing on the other boxes as well.
The theme is the now mythic Adapta, while the icons are the famous Numix Circle, all flat and material like, long past are the days of the days of the fuzzy, out of focus, eco-friendly wallpapers.

Last.FM (Thru Rhythmbox) Is Alive And Kicking!!!

And so, one day, Rhythmbox starts working with Last.FM once again...
Don't ask me why, as I found out, just by accident, yesterday.
This is on the stock Rhythmbox that ships with Ubuntu 14.04.
Of course, as I noted before, since I'm using Numix Touch Flat, there a few thick (and some huge) black spaces to deal with...

The Unity Desktop

I've mentioned this theme before:

Numix Touch Flat

I love it a lot, but, there are two things that don't make this an amazing theme (for me, of course)...
It doesn't have top rounded corner windows, and it has the damn "black spaces" plaguing, most of all, Gedit.

The Unity Desktop

Been a while since the last Unity Desktop Post around here...
So here it goes...
Using my own customized version of Ambiance, with the enhanced (at least IMHO) Launcher that I stole from a beautiful theme named Numix Touch Flat.
