[Cinnamon] "Retro Heresy: Service Pack 1"

After my last post, I got some suggestions. AND I LOVED 'EM!

Now with audio! https://bolha.tube/w/wNV9TTvPYPVNHoPPtTu54g

Keep in mind this is STILL my work computer. I've installed Tibia and Quake just for the LOLZ. Had mixed reactions from my colleagues. So... mission accomplished? :P

You can go ahead and sign me the fuck up for whatever that is that's skinned like Winamp. That is functional, right? Not just part of the desktop image?

[-] jedi@mastodon.com.br 15 points 10 months ago

@dual_sport_dork it's a player called Audacious. It is fully functional. It is available in every distro I know.

To style it like this, download any winamp skin (*.wsz) and put it on \~/.local/share/audacious/Skins

And I mean any winamp skin. I follow @winampskins for new ideas.

Here, OP. More winamp skins than you could ever want.

That website lets you try the skins before you download them too.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Awesome, I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks!

Windows XP was a good, solid OS. Not FOSS, obviously, but I imagine most people would remember it fondly. Not heresy, maybe just some mild blasphemy.

I remember hating and resisting the upgrade from Windows 98 SE. It took a while for me to realize that our budget PC was the bottleneck…

[-] blotz@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You need to skin the login manager as well! It's the only thing missing now!

I know what to do for Service Pack 2!!! xD

Gah looking at the screenshots I had memories of the way it would gradually fade to gray-scale when the log out/shutdown menu showed

[-] jedi@mastodon.com.br 4 points 10 months ago

By the way... Thank you @unixporn community for the suggestions.

I honestly thought I would receive some hate for "transform linux in windows", but instead you were so helpful. You rock!

I love the fediverse.

This is fire.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I shall now go and try to close vim as penance for setting eyes on this foul abomination.

[-] Vast_Emptiness@programming.dev 0 points 9 months ago

The good old days. It brings a lot of memory.
