My minimalist work desktop so far. wmx as my window manager, idesk for all the decorations & static icons, & xcal, xload, xclock, & xbiff as undecorated windows. My load avg peaked above 1.0, & I got new mail while taking screenshots (using xbiff icons I drew today).

I like chakats, just in case it's not obvious. I'm a furry, what can I say. :3c
Also, it looks cool to me & isn't as hard as it looks to maintain if I need to add or remove icons that do things, but I'd like to hear if it looks cool to you, too.
When I finish, I'll write up a huge post of what I did, how I did it, and why I did it this way.
More progress with my desktop theme. There's still some work left, but it's mostly usable & somewhat presentable.
4 xbiff mail boxes beside 3 mail action icons (read mail, write mail, use webmail), above "Netscape" (Firefox), Xpdf, Gimp (rockin' the Deluxe Paint I brush), canfield solitaire, & a drawer for pcmanfm. I still need a volume mixer & frequent Web bookmarks.

I am so close to liking this icon theme I'm working on well enough to call it ready to write about. Whole screen, left-edge icons, and top-edge icons.

(Also, I like sailorhg's fairyfloss editor theme too much: https://sailorhg.github.io/fairyfloss/ - https://github.com/sailorhg/fairyfloss/ - and that's why I turned my xterm pastel purple, which I also need to share.)

... I have 66 icons to manage so far, wow. :/
- 18 icons I configured to do nothing but look pretty (by running `true` if clicked)
- 48 icons that actually do things when clicked
- also, 5 programs running in windows that look like icons
I ended up writing a shellscript to help me manage them all (so much for not being as hard as it looks), because I'm definitely not done moving them around and adding more. https://computerfairi.es/media/FPgpo1AoVETrludsk38
