    Well recently moved to Hyprland and the installation scripts installed ton of anime girls neo fetch pictures / backgrounds and neon colored/catpuccin themes everywhere. It took me a long time to get used to it.

      I… can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Could be a joke, but it would explain a lot of setups I have seen…

    As long as it’s not watery diarrhea brown (a.k.a “gruvbox”), I’ll take it.

    Changing things up by finding the most unattractive anime girl for my background instead.

      That’s obviously just reskinned domain/os. You thought you could fool us, but you haven’t got one over on me!

      Domain/OS btw

      In terms of window decorations, looks like twm with default settings. Standard window manager to ship with what is now Xorg.

      EDIT: For emacs, those are also default colors, I think, for at least some point. X11 color names HarvestWheat and ForestGreen, if memory serves aright.

      EDIT2: No, that’s probably not a graphical emacs instance, because the title is “sh”. They’re probably running sh and then running console emacs (or vim or something else, I guess, can configure either to look like that) and don’t have their shell set up to pass the escape sequences to tell the virtual terminal program to update the window title.

      EDIT3: Also, the color’s the default twm color, but that’s not the default twm decorations. That’s…damn, I can’t remember the name of that widget set.

      goes poking around

      Motif. And apparently mwm used Motif widgets.

        Thank you for the info! I wasn’t aware of the X11 colors.

        The original author only gives this information about their setup:

        bar - custom + fork of dmenu (not shown)

        gtk theme - custom version of cde theme

        icons - just a couple grabbed from various themes

        term - urxvt and a generic vte term

        I imagine this is not Motif since it’s a GTK theme? Not very familiar with GUI stuff.

        Maybe it’s FVWM? It is a derivative of TWM.

        Perhaps NsCDE?

        NsCDE and other CDE lookalikes seem to have a thicker horizontal bar in the upper left decoration than this and the original CDE, but perhaps that is one of the customizations the author mentions.

        Also, the background seems to be from Elementary OS beta. Specifically, blueprint hue shifted to match purpleprint, based on the cropping and vignette.

    That meme has always irked me. Squidward is dishing attitude towards the firh ordering the only thing they have on menu. It is not like they make anything other than crab patties.

    One thing I don’t get with making you desktop or setup anime girl themed. Doesn’t anyone visit you? Relatives? Landlord? Or anyone really. And what’s the point, to get an erection while doing a PowerPoint presentation?

      Anime girl backgrounds are mostly waifu/waifu veneration culture in the anime fandom sphere. Otherwise if motherfuckers were setting full on hentai doujinshi panels as their backgrounds…holy shit, that would be wild and bring up a few questions as to the mental health and porn addiction of the individual involved, unless it was some stylistic repeated Ahegao face collage of some sort for the memery.

      I mean, I’d personally rather see an anime girl themed desktop than those weird statues rich people sometimes have in places like on their coffee table that are stuff like a woman in the boob + butt out pose with no limbs or head. That shit is just creepy looking. I know it’s supposed to be reminiscent of broken Greek and Roman statues, but why do they always have to be posed and objectified like porn stars? At least with the anime girl, I know that I’m talking to an otaku rather than Hannibal Lecter.

      My desktop background has been the same shade of dark blue for the past roughly quarter century.

      At first, it was because I didn’t want anything making visual recognition of stuff slower, when I was using a stacking windowing environment. Now I use a tiling windowing system and rarely see the desktop.

      On my Android phone, for some inane reason, there’s no option to just use a fixed color background, so I’ve never bothered changing it from whatever the vendor shipped, don’t care enough to make a custom one-color image. I’d probably use black on the Android devices I have with OLED screens on general principle, but again, it doesn’t spend much time being visible.

      All that being said, if you’re looking at screenshots of people ricing out their desktop on a community devoted to that, the whole point is to give them an interesting thematic look. They’re gonna have a background.

      If you took a screenshot of my desktop, it’d be one blue rectangle. No persistently-visible taskbar. The vast majority of time, if there’s a window up, I have only a single, fullscreen window. That’s not really interesting to look at, and I doubt that anyone doing that is going to put it on a “rice your desktop” community, in the same sort of way that nobody is going to go to a “rice your car” community and post images of a vanilla Camry.

        Same, solid black on my PC, rocking the default wallpaper on my phone. Interestingly, when I switched to using graphineOS, the default background is solid black, so I have that on my phone now as well, too. I prefer it for the less visual distraction, and the fact that on pled screens it saves battery

        Uhhh…

        Literally just use the same one that’s on your pc? Just KDEconnect that file over (or find any online pic of a solid color wallpaper, whatever you choose of course), and click:

        settings>wallpaper and style>change wallpaper>my photos>nav to your file>set wallpaper

        (This is why all linux help is CLI, damn GUI nav trees lmao.) But yeah why not that? Works on my machine.

          If I were going to do that, I’d create an image scaled to my Android phone, as I don’t know whether the Android system caches a resized image or not.

          I mean, I can do it, but just not worth the bother, because I’m not looking at it much. I remember going to the settings, rolling my eyes, and then ignoring it.

            Good question, I’m not sure. From using a desktop wallpaper on my android before however I can tell you that in practice, whatever happens with your cache, it just crops the image to fit your screen. It can be a problem if you want the full design, but with a one color image, you’d never be able to tell.

            But hell yeah I can understand being way too lazy to care, though still then I wouldn’t be saying “there’s no option…” because there is, you just have to supply the image, which is really very easy if you did care to do it.
