Submit screenshots of all your *NIX desktops, themes, and nifty configurations, or submit anything else that will make themers happy. Maybe a server running on an Amiga, or a Thinkpad signed by Bjarne Stroustrup? Show the world how pretty your computer can be!
As the title said, I customized my system according to what I liked. It's probably a mess of features and design elements cobbled together from the OS's I've used (or would like to use).
There's also some features I've customized that is hard to show via screenshots, like mouse gestures to move windows around different screens and virtual desktops.
I don't think I've achieved everything I want here, but it has gone way further than I've imagined it'd go.
Nice work, that looks really good and inspired me to try a few things on my desktop
Thanks! I'm glad to have inspired you.
While KDE Plasma offers a whole lot of options for customization, it's really daunting especially if you're just new to it. What really helped me is to just go with a little bit of customization and tweaking at a time. As I got more experience, I started to want more and more which lead to a lot more customization and tweaking.
How much time did it take? My experience with theming KDE Plasma was that it requires lots and lots of time and patience to achieve something good. At least for a newbie.
Now you just need things to put on the calendar.
I actually am trying to get it hooked to my google calendar. That widget used to support that feature and have it work. However, recent changes have borked that functionality, and I can't seem to find another widget that does the same.
Or I can just move away from google calendar.
Google bad.
I'm weaning myself away from it. However, it's still unavoidable in my case because my work uses it. Thus, my work-related appointments and such are on there, which is one of the reasons why I had that widget in the first place (to monitor work-related appointments, deadlines, etc).
