Share your desktop, what does it look like?

Curious about you having Android Gemini Assistive Technology on your Zorin Lite/xfce Desktop? I recently had to help my wife's brother-in-law who needed help migrating from his old Samsung smartphone to a new one. While helping him to migrate he managed to catch the Gemini app in error during setup. It took well over an hour to finally turn it off!

I love glassy themes. One of my most favorite things about Windows7, was the blue arrow glass theme, made my desktop look so good. Insure its color is blue. Also, glass is see through, so make sure there is a little transparency in those icons, your on the right track though.

FYI, would it surprise you that I'm still rocking that ILP theme you made after all these years? I really appreciate having it, its awesome. You do good work!

Hmm ... to be honest, I'm not a Fan of the Lighting here. It looks for me like You would have a flashlight at the Bottom and would light it to the Top.

WattOS-R13 with Plasma:
Wallpaper: sea-sunset-horizon-Photo-HD-Wallpaper-1366x768

Just a quick comment here. Plasma does not seem to work with installing new themes which come from the Pling.com arm of KDEDesktop! So now it requires to use their 'ocs' installer which is a real pain!

Global theme (had to install using OCS): Slot-Gradient-Dark
Application Style: Fusion
Plasma Style: Slot-Dark-Plasma
Colours: Purple
Window Decorations: Slot-Dark-Aurorae-5
Fonts: Comic Relief
Icons: Slot-Gradient-Dark-Icons
Cursors: Oxygen Yellow
Splash Screen: Slot-Gradient-Dark-Global-5;

That is very nice stuff! I did a double take when I saw the Zorin Start button. It's the only thing fron Zorin I reconized!

@StarTreker
Have a look at how much ram VLC is using after 5 days running a cam I have outside to keep an eye on my dog when he wants out. It will go up every day.

OMG :scream:

That so violates my personal rules, for how much RAM, a media player is allowed to use. Production software or games, can use 8GB of RAM or more. Media players shouldn't use more then 2GB of RAM. If VLC allows it, I'd put a cap on that RAM's behind.

No option. I always restart it when it hits 10. But it doesn't actually turn off when you close it. Before you can open it again you have to go to processes and kill vlc.bin.
It used to be one of the best if not the best.

Here's a screenshot of my current desktop

VLC used to be the best till 2016, when the developers who made it, ruined it. Not playing video's, missing codecs, you name it. I use SM Player instead.

Good catch there. It just took the place of VLC and it's running my outdoor cam just as good.

I use mpv but it's the same spirit, light and efficient.

I took this photo in Oceanside, OR near Tillamook. Using Zorin Grey light with fluent 11 icons.
