After you spent some time customizing it, I cant use any other WM that does not bring in this ease of customization.
After that, the WM gets out of your way.
- jlgreco 13y agoWhat sort of extensions do you get the most mileage out of? Browsing through them, I see a few that look neat (like the 'Drop Down Terminal' one), but many seem to be extensions that correct problems that GNOME introduces anyway (Workspace Indicator, Remove Accessibility, etc).
- sandGorgon 13y agowell, good point - but then again, every default is a problem for someone. I'm also OK with the Gnome maintainers removing the middle click behavior IFF they give me an extension to bring it back. the power is "how" and not "what". If they can fix the theme manager of Gnome (I'm still stuck on Gnome 3.4 on 12.04, so I dont know), it will be great. I'm imagining "Recipe Packs" in the future - one click sharing of your customized desktops. Who cares if the default is blue or red.
- sixbrx 13y agoI'm not who you were asking, but I like Maximus and "Hide Top Bar". Maximum screen real estate for working.
- cli_shall 13y agoSounds like I'm going to have to give it a try, then. I usually go minimalist with WMs because, as you said in your last sentence, it "gets out of your way." That's the best thing an interface can do. Felt like distro hopping again anyway, might as well try out the new Gnome while I'm at it.
