The wallpaper from Wallpaper Engine is called "Neon Lines | 4K" by Snow. I recommend disabling mouse parallax and set HDR bloom strength & scatter to 0 for less GPU usage.
@@Leg1tAlex I don't think that's an option. However, you can play around with the alignment settings to make it show more or less lines. I always use stretch on my wallpapers.
@@EthernetCat6put everything that was on your desktop in your taskbar 🧠 There’s also an option to just hide desktop icons if you right click and look under the view options. I do that when I want my desktop sexy and then when I’m actively doing stuff I unhide everything.
Centring the taskbar works until you open a apps that aren’t pinned and it slowly expands to the right leaving an ugly blank space to the left TransparentTB is also really unappealing to me, it often makes it a little harder to see the icons on the taskbar at first glance. The wallpaper is clean and all but it just removed all sense of personality imho Otherwise, hiding desktop icons and using the clock thing is pretty cool.
I don't like the transparent taskbar either. With a background with details nearly the same color as the text it can be hard to read things such as the time.
I followed these steps, but with an additional step. I used copilot to create a 'game folder icon' png, made a few colour tweaks in photoshop and exported. I had to use paint to save it as a bmg before saving as a .ico (thats what tutorial said), but I now also have an awesome unique icon which stores all my game shortcuts. It's pinned to my taskbar and feels special!
@beckham6425 fun fact not everyone has a good pc where doing this makes you lose 5fps most people will lose 10 to 20 which might not be allt for you but for the people losing that it most likely is as they don't get high fps
If you have issues with your apps/browser not looking full just go to taskbar settings, taskbar behavior, and then click automatically hide taskbar. Your welcome :)
@stever9487 well that could mean any number of things, and I gathered that since arch doesn't come with a DE, and I mentioned you could put on any number of DEs to make it look how you want
Lol Arch is definitely not a desktop environment. It is a DIY Linux distribution and out of the box it doesn't include any desktop environment. KDE Plasma and XFCE work really well on Arch without much setup. However I really like GNOME, but it requires a lot of tinkering to set up on Arch Linux, so I decided to switch to Nobara. Also window managers are a great choice for Arch Linux. Some of the popular ones are i3, Sway and Awesome. There also is Hyprland which is a very simple and modern desktop environment that takes a lot of inspiration from window managers and is a great choice if you enjoy Unix rice.
it looks 10 times better, well i don't know about 10, but it does look nicer, but what is not better is its functionality, that got at least 10 times worse
I did this (minus the wall paper engine) and it just ended up being super inconvenient. The Taskbar hider made apps look super weird, and trying to find my games turned into a chore. It looks great for a showcase, but not really practical unless you're willing to sacrifice finding literally anything with ease
Just choose a nice wallpaper and put in a folder the apps you don't use often/don't really need, or just get rid of them. Arrange the rest of the shortcuts by either color or type or whatever works for you, then you're done. Don't be boring by copying what others do, it's nice to have your desktop show some personality, it's better and much more convenient than this. Nothing wrong with liking this but don't think that yours it's not good enough because it's not aesthetic.
@@hypernova8160 its still just quite a hassel, i mean when you start your pc some programs just don't start and you have to do them manually, only if this was integrated
just get taskbar x instead of translucent tb and the links thing as it just automatically centers it and it has better feature than ttb, and btw that shrek wallpaper was already 🔥
Pro players play put their 60fps laptop on glass dining table above newspaper and glide their razer deathadder essentials in the hall while dad watching news. Couldn't be me
Put the folder with all your desktop apps somewhere u remember easily like topleft of the screen and then give it an invisible character as a name and change its icon to the invisible icon
If you are going to install Rainmeter you might as well get the TaskbarX rainmeter skin which automatically centers the icons on the taskbar and makes it transparent.
