UB 24.04, pretty close to default Pocillo theme except that I removed the plank and some widgets/applets I wouldn’t use. WeatherShow in the left corner, Budgie Menu and three pinned app-launchers in the middle. The Firefox theme is “Brown Bag”. Night Light is always on at 5400K.

I use a desktop PC with an external monitor, so for brightness control I installed ddccontrol and created a couple of keyboard shortcuts. (I usually keep my monitor at its lowest brightness setting, but like to bump it up to about 15% or 20% when watching movies.)

My keyboard shortcuts for brightness control (after installing ddccontrol from the App Center):
Alt-F11: ddccontrol -r 0x10 -W -5% dev:/dev/i2c-4
Alt-F12: ddccontrol -r 0x10 -W +5% dev:/dev/i2c-4
(This works with my LG monitor, which is detected as /dev/i2c-4, and where 0x10 refers to the brightness level – other monitors might need some adjustments to these commands.)

Oops! It seems I have expended my entire love quota for the day at post 276. To be continued . . . :wink:

Some really nice design choices up there in the timeline.

I have this mischievous notion that with the use of keyboard shortcuts it’s possible to achieve a desktop without any panels, icons, or widgets at all – just the wallpaper or a blank void of a suitable color – but I think I’ll stick with my top panel and clock on the desktop.

As for my setup, the top panel is now set to be transparent all the time, and the items in the center are now: Places, Recently Used, Budgie Menu, Tilix, and Firefox. (I briefly considered using a side-panel for those, but the mouse-travel distance would be greater compared to their current top-center location.)

I have set up some keyboard shortcuts for a few other items such as the calculator and the system monitor.

Also, I have hidden the date from ShowTime by setting its font size to 1.

Mr. Storm, you have posted many nice screenshots, but I especially appreciate this pairing of wallpaper and font. :sunglasses:
