My very simple layout. After playing a little with conky I realised I really don't like distraction on my desktop. I've even removed the rubbish bin and Home icons which I used to have.
I agree with what Aravisian was saying much earlier in this thread. On Windows my screen easily became cluttered with icons. Here, I actively like keeping it uncluttered and everything is organised.
Icons: Tela.
Shell: White Sur Light
Wallpaper: One of my photos from a long time ago - high up in the Canadian Rockies after a long climb. Mt Aissiniboine in the distance. Its naturally a very shades of blues photo, i've created several versions either enhancing its blueness or here into a sepia range. Next step, I'd like to create a wallpaper changing with then time of day.
Icon set Tela because - although I love what you guys do creatively with icons and graphics and integrated themes, with a visual impairment I need icons that I can easily differentiate. I love the folder icons in Tela as they are really easy to differentiate, much more so for me than most icons sets I have tried.
One inconsistency here that i have found: I've taken the taskbar transparency right down, and used a light shell theme, but the taskbar 'Activities Button' icon resolutely stays black. I remove it from taskbar normally, just switched it back in to demonstrate here.
That is something i really love (the top bar). I used to have this in mint 17 but on the bottom. When i opend up a few apps the bars got closer to eachother.
Here is my first ZorinOS Screenshot of my MacBook running ZorinOS 17.2 through my usb stick. Of course i'm sporting @Storm's awesome Alien icons.
Wallpaper is found here
Thank you. That works. Although now the icon sits to the left of the Z main menu icon. The extension also gives some useful shortcuts.
The puzzle for me is why don't any of the shell themes I tried swap the activities icon, when I can see that they have an icon available for it. Is that a Zorin thing or a Gnome thing?
