I’m not into i3 and the pi would burn running pop shell(GNOME4), so I figure I could just stay with XFCE for a while. Getting along with a new machine = ricing 🙂 Here’s what I’ve got after a few hours tweaking: ![Screenshot_2022-05-01_01-41-37](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/0/08193272299369f7981a579508915fdce07240be.png) ![IMG_20220501_012729](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/9/94aceadded7466e519b922f6485e51416fa3b5dd.jpeg) Ergonomics should be OK due to high contrast and lack of gradients in the UI. I can use higher brightness with this green/cyan-on-black color scheme. A vertical task bar really makes sense in this form factor. Bonus: tweak dpi from 96 to 86 to shrink everything a little bit. Main font: `terminus 12pt`, super sharp bitmap font.

Nice setup. Thanks for sharing. I ended up using WindowMaker but I didn’t have to do much to it out of the box as it already puts the dock vertically. ---

Yeah WindowMaker also captures that retro future feeling very well! ---

Very cool! I think the vertical bar on the right is a big win. We have no space to spare in the vertical 😄 ---

Thanks! This is my first thread on this forum. Been a year, but feels like DT is with me forever already. My current desktop is in the same vibe: ![desktop_2023](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/c/c309ae81ff72b898347577d44732702b49d4b817.png) ---

复古风格真的很顶 👍。 但是devterm的屏幕的高度很小，长度又很长，对话框弹出来的时候经常超过下方屏幕，还得手动拉回来，这个问题超级烦，xfce的风格很难统一，之前搞的仿mac os 9的主题个别窗口看着不好看。全局菜单插件也起不了作用。 顺便一提我现在用的manjaro sway默认桌面，仅终端类型的应用用着感觉不错。 ---

Open a terminal and enter the following line. xrandr --output DSI-1 --panning 720x1280 It will allow the screen to pan and make it much taller. It isn’t permanent and it will go away the next time you boot. My DevTerm has a CM3 module and this allows me to deal with that very problem. ---

Thanks，but it not works on A06 module. Maybe a tiling window manager is a decent choice. 😁 ---

I did successfully set up panning on A06. Working, but slow. I remember a wince2.11 trick: there’re two programs, `up.exe` and `down.exe`, when triggered, shifts all windows on the desktop a bit. We then set up shortcuts for them on the SQ taskbar and voila, poor man’s manual panning! ---

thanks, I tried the commands, but again: works, but panning is slow on a06. also, I have special xrandr commands to enable the 5 “dead rows” on the display (setting screen size to 1280x485, then pan 5 px) and that does not play nice with panning. ---

不能的，polybar只提供了margin-bottom和margin-top两个选项，可以不用polybar，用这个项目可以实现： > **[GitHub - rxyhn/tokyo: BSPWM - Aesthetic Dotfiles 🍚](https://github.com/rxyhn/tokyo)** > > BSPWM - Aesthetic Dotfiles 🍚. Contribute to rxyhn/tokyo development by creating an account on GitHub. 我没有用这个方案，对于bspwm，这种侧边栏感觉有点古怪。不过polybar其实有不少bug的，我在研究这个项目里的东西有没有可以用得上的，然后参照着去重做一下。 [Next page](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/xfce-devterm-ricing/8396.md?page=2)
