Posting my desktop

[Night Wing]

Where I live in southeast Texas, it looks like we are not going to have a normal Spring temperature wise. The trees are already starting to put on new leaves, the grass is growing green in color and the azaleas bushes are starting to bloom. This upcoming Thursday, we are going to hit 87 degrees F. Next week, we may hit 90 degrees F. It looks like an early Summer is going to arrive way sooner than it should temperature wise and it looks to be a long hot Summer. We shall see if the prognosticators are correct.

With that said, if the prognosticators are right and it is a long hot Summer ahead, I've chosen the following picture of Spider Rock in Arizona as my new Desktop picture. At this time this Desktop picture is running in 64 bit Linux Mint 22.1 (Xia) Xfce.

BTW, this "rock" was featured in an old 1969 western movie named "MacKenna's Gold" with Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif as the main and opposing characters.

Since I've never posted in this thread before I'll post my last Desktop Wallpaper and my new current one (which I was sort of forced to change to because of the new resolution of my new, main, monitor):

Why, yes, I do like Space and Sci-Fi. How did you know?

I had to change my Desktop picture because my wife saw it and she said, That is a nice photo, but it isn't "you". She reiterated I am not a high plains desert type of person. She told me I have been a "saltwater person" since I was the age of 8 years old. One can see that when they read my profile.

I told my wife, instead of me choosing a photo, you choose a photo from my picture library. So she chose the one below. The "Bay Of Islands".

Just created a new background image for my desktop:

- and here it is being used on my Win 10 desktop.

My loyal and very affectionate pet companion is my orange colored tiger striped tabby cat, Tucker, who just had his 12th birthday. Thought I would honor him and make him my new Desktop photo. Since he is a totally indoor house cat, he likes to "lounge" on the window sill and look outside surveying his "domain". He also has long legs as you can see with his two front legs extended out in front of him.

I figured I may as well add something to this thread after not having posted on the forum for quite a while
(See the attachments for a full-sized screenshot)

In a nutshell, it's CTWM running on Arch Linux. For GTK I use the Greybird theme, and the old GNOME icon theme.
I tried to adapt CTWM's color scheme to somewhat match Greybird's, although making a carbon copy is nigh impossible (since CTWM uses bare XLib, not GTK, to draw its objects). I enabled CTWM's 3D-look to make it resemble MWM.
I use it with the FocusFollowsMouse focus model; the focused window gets a blue window frame (not visible here since the menu is in focus).

I also -- at last -- found a way to get the classic X11 bitmap fonts to display everywhere. In the AUR, there are three relevant PKGBUILDS:

• xorg-fonts-75dpi-otb
• xorg-fonts-100dpi-otb
• xorg-fonts-misc-otb

These contain the same fonts as the relevant packages without the -otb suffix, but converted to the OTB format so that modern Pango can use them (since the GNOME developers decided to drop classic X bitmap fonts a while ago).
