Share your desktop, what does it look like?

The only time I get blocked from posting a picture, is because the filesize is too large. Generally, most forums have a 1MB size limit. If you use an external hosting website, (Most are paid garbage now) you can post the picture link to it, thus making it easier to post on forums.

I'm using Zorin OS 18.1 Lite, in VMware at the moment, the screenshots below are of how I have all of my Xfce setups. I make my own wallpapers, menu buttons and App icons.

I uninstalled Brave-Browser and installed Brave-Origin-Nightly, it's lighter and runs a little faster than normal Brave, as default it does not have all the annoying stuff activated, that Brave-Browser does, like Wallet for instance.

The theme I use is Orchis-Grey-Dark, with Graphite Window border. The Window title is Dephunked Font. I use Roboto Fonts for Desktop. I uninstalled Gnome-text-editor and installed Linux Mint's Xed, which is must faster and much more pleasing to use. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Gnome-Text-Editor. I come from the world of Peppermint OS 7 through till Peppermint 10 Re-spin, when Mark Greaves was at the helm. Peppermint was perfect, as it mixed the speed of Lubuntu or LXDE with Xfce as the main desktop. Went like brown dirty smelly stuff off a shovel.

It took me three years to find the perfect dark theme, Orchis-Grey-Dark, Sardi-Ghost-Flexible set as grey colour (I'm British so spell colour with the letter U or in this case a small u.)
I customize my own icons, slightly beveled as you can see in the screenshots below. I will be installing Zorin OS 18.1 Lite on my other PC.

The first four are my wallpapers I made up in GIMP, there are four to tell me which workspace I am on. I use four transparent panels and have them always hidden. Docklike-plugin has some of the apps I use. Brave-Origin, Nemo File Manager, Xed Text-Editor, Xfce4-Terminal, Synaptic-Package-Manager. I installed Fastfetch, as no one as far as I know has taken over development of Neofetch, after the original developer went off farming instead.
I use Monaco Font for Terminal and for Xed Text Editor.

The apps on the top middle panel are web apps, that I made up myself, saves cluttering up Brave with shortcuts.

I really like your terminal prompt customization. Could you share your configuration?

I'll see if I can find it, because it's AerynOS default setup.

I'm pretty sure it's a Starship prompt preset, with some things changed.
Here's how it looks in the original form:

Thanks a lot, man! You were absolutely right. I installed Starship and applied the Tokyo Night preset, and it looks awesome!

I also customized it a bit and changed that ugly Apple logo to the Arch Linux logo. Thanks again for the help!

That logo is not ugly. It is a Celtic Glyph (the terminal stretches the Glyph):

I use Ptyxis. There are Settings for Color Shemes. So, I don't need to use Gogh for bringing them in the Terminal.
