The Meme'd Desktop - venam - 26-11-2015
Hello fellow nixers,
In this thread we put forward the meme'd Unix desktop of the last years.
Quote:Meme.
A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.
The goal is to list the criteria that makes up the most "common" screenshotd Unix desktop on the internet and then, if we're able, automatically generate such desktops.

background: solid color + anime character/nature/tiled something.
borders: either none or at least 4px
colors: dark colorscheme, maybe go for base16 one?
panel: "I got lemonbar to display a clock and workspaces then I stopped because it's minimal"
gtk/icons: numix?

Probably i3 with useless gaps.
Windows floating.
A blurred background and a pic of the background not-blurred showing.
A color script to show off.

Oh yeah I forogt about the powerline + useless vim file!
RE: The Meme'd Desktop - venam - 28-11-2015
This is getting quite interesting.
Can we try to find screenshots that fit the descriptions?

I'm not saying this thread is a circlejerk on the current trends of r/unixporn, but this thread is a circlejerk on the current trends of r/unixporn.

@dsplayer14:
'Is a current circlejerk trend on /r/unixporn' is a current circlejerk trend on /r/unixporn.
My list:
-wmutils (it is cool, but it is also very hip and trendy and everything)
-vim
-irssi (I never understood why one needs more than ii)
-window border ~4 pixels
-no contrast between background color and window border color
-rather dark

Aside from /r/unixporn, there is nobody tweaking their desktop :)

not arguing that at all. just saying there are lots of desktop threads around those parts.
RE: The Meme'd Desktop - z3bra - 30-11-2015
I might have forgotten about it yeah. Anyhow, I guess the current tendency in terms of "edgy" desktops is to the flat themes ala windows 10 or google material designs. Simple shapes, flat designs and multi colors.
For "hackers": dark shades with a flashy color to contrast
