LM Cinnamon -- I like mine clean

[shrewd junco]

very clean indeed

though i recommend using the papirus-dark icon theme

[novel tide]

I'll give that a try and see what it looks like.

[novel tide]

I switched to papirus-dark and the icons do look better.

[shrewd junco]

install transparent panel in extensions

and modify the settings to your liking

and change the font to inter medium

[wintry oxide]

Soap wallpaper when

[novel tide]

Is that a complete sentence? lol

[novel tide]

Thanks @shrewd junco -- the Inter Medium font looks very nice.

[shrewd junco]

👍

[novel tide]

This is what it looks like now (3840x1600)

[wintry oxide]

Yesn't

[novel tide]

Glad you finished your sentence 😉

[wintry oxide]

Yes

[shrewd junco]

i'd recommend changing the windows title font to either inter semibold or bold

[novel tide]

Got it... looking even better now. Any other suggestions then let me know.

[novel tide]

I dropped the Applet 'Grouped window list' to remove all the application icons and made keyboard shortcuts for everything I use. It cleaned up the desktop even more

[shrewd junco]

add a dock if you want to

search "plank" in the software manager

it's pretty good and allows for some customisation

(ctrl + right click to customise)

[novel tide]

I'm very familiar with Plank but thank you. I prefer to have the cleanest/minimalistic desktop possible. Setting keyboard shortcuts for the apps I use is preferable over having them (app icons) on my desktop. I've also tried different tiling window managers but I keep coming back to Cinnamon. System76's COSMIC desktop -- I like the way they incorporated tiling windows; wish Cinnamon had something similar.

[shrewd junco]

i see

im waiting for cosmic

looks like if gnome and cinnamon had a child

[novel tide]

Yep, same here. I am waiting for it to go in to beta as it is still too buggy as an alpha. System76 is doing a great job so far; I can see this being a very popular distro once they finalize it.

[shrewd junco]

cosmic's a DE right

[novel tide]

Yes

[shrewd junco]

does cosmic not have a start menu or sum

[novel tide]

Kinda -- third button from the left:
