haha nah, I use Sawfish WM and a few fbpanel instances, without any compositor. It looks like this for me right now. I've used that basic setup (with various themes) for well over a decade.

KDE and Xfce are what most people use on it, I think...

    That CLI music player looks nice, I can't find it though. Looks like you made it, did you share it somewhere?

    Ahh yeah, that's the music player I've been working on since the beginning of the year called Aika. It's still pretty early on, but it's mostly usable so far, depending on your needs. I mostly use it as my daily player right now, except for a few odd cases (like Opus files).

    Aika is a spiritual successor to my other music player, Benben, which looks very similar, but not exact. Aika has some different features and goals, is much easier to build, and is lighter on system resources. But Benben is much more mature and featured complete. My goal is to release Benben v1.0 by years end, put it in maintenance mode, then focus on Aika.

    What's up with the text in the wallpaper? I'd think it's slop, but it looks as if someone deliberately made it look borked.

    I have no idea. I don't necessarily think it's slop (though it could still be)... I think someone just didn't know how to read Japanese. 'Cause like the sign that's advertising coffee and breakfast stuff is correct, and the sign further back labeled "Collisto" and "ブティッ" (rest is cut off, I suspect it's ブティック) is correct, but the rest are upside down. Though that doesn't explain the upside-down bottle with "Grape Boutique" or whatever on it.

    So yeah, fuck if I know, I just found it and kinda liked it for the mood lol

    The coffee one is not correct, vertical katakana should have vertical γƒΌ, the same mistake is across the rest of the ad, it also says バン instead of パン.

    寿司屋 is technically correct, but you'd never see that on a sign, it sounds more like a description of a place rather than an ad sign, if you know what I mean.

    中叀 is written like 叀中 for some reason? The text under (above) it is barely legible, whatever I can make out of it is just random characters somewhat related to 中叀, like 品 or ζ–™, but I can't string it together into something that'd make sense.

    ...

    Did what I probably should have done from the very beginning, looks like this is the source and it came to be before slop became common. The person who made this has clearly used something to generate it, the sheer quantity for the timeline is kind of insane, but they were probably using the old tools.

    Do you have dotfiles available somewhere? I do quite like the window decorations and the rest of what I assume to be of the gtk theme.

    Not for everything... but I can point you in some directions:

    • GTK theme: orthogonal2, I think I'm using the "darkCold" one with the "dark-darkCold" color scheme. Read through the docs, it's an interesting customization system.
    • Sawfish theme (the window decorations): customized version of the built-in "StyleTab" theme. I just picked some colors for the buttons, really. It's StyleTab's "Default" frame and button style, and the "Reduced" color proposals. I believe StyleTab is specific to Sawfish WM.
    • Font: Orbitron Medium for the window titles, Avenir LT Std Roman elsewhere.
    • Icons: Sours, the Full-Color variant.
    • Mouse cursor: Hatsune Miku
    • Aika's theme: the "dark-neon-alt" theme that's in my repo, it gets installed with rake install so just choose it in the config file.
    • Wallpaper: I dunno, I found it while searching for cyberpunk wallpapers. And yes, half the signs are upside-down XD Here's a copy.

    As for the dotfiles I can share, I don't have them in a repo, but I'll put them here:

    I think that's everything...
