Razor-thin at only 18px height, what more could you want from a task bar?
It's awesome.

I can't read anything only 18px tall, but you have a tiny-ass monitor so. (My laptop is 1080p and 13.3". 18 pixels? GOOD FUCKING LUCK!)
-
I would, if I
- wasn't lazy
- could be bothered to look up how that widget works
- knew how lua datetimes work
Unless it actually uses a setting from somewhere, which I'm not sure about.
-
That's in my fucking head now. Thanks.
I didn't even have to click it >.<
EDIT: WHAT? DISCOURSEEEEE! WHAT? HOW DID THIS... damn it!

Mine's at... damn it, there's no setting for it in Cinnamon! Time to post a feature request!
Anyway, I think I kept Gnome 2 ones at 22, I know there was something with some icons breaking under that.
Yes, I;m leaving this shit in. Be as confused as I am! Also, @discoursebot !

@Onyx - Days Since Last Discourse Bug: -1
-
And done:
I just had to type in a format string.
-
Yes, the place I work at has no HDMI/DisplayPort-to-DVI-adaptors.
Some people, faced with such a problem, would spend $3 or so out of pocket and BUY one.
Hell, I brought in a video card from home so I can dual-monitor, because Dells don't give you 2 outputs (at least, not 2010-era ones, not by default). And I know not everyone will be allowed to upgrade their work computer, but an adapter's a different matter.
-
For no real benefit.
Unless your monitor's one of those ones that can't be driven at full resolution on a VGA port. I had a 1600x1200 like that. It was blurry on VGA, rock-steady on DVI. Plus on VGA it drew a small vertical green line up the left-hand edge of the display.
-
business/enterprise desktops all still come with VGA ports
A coworker's computer died this spring and he got a new Dell. It came with VGA and DVI on the motherboard. I bitched at him and made him use the DVI.
Most motherboards, even the cheap ones, come with a choice of ports these days.

That'll teach you to work in two tabs while replying. You probably hit reply in the wrong tab. I don't want to figure out what I'm doing wrong when that happens, except to avoid it.

@FrostCat Is Doing It Wrong™
-

Nope. Single tab. Hit reply. Opened other topic. Hit reply. Got a draft. Stupidly deleted everything from the draft and replied. Salvaged the post from edit history.
Now, I know what you'll say: you didn't hit post. But I did. I saw my post!
Oh, wait... let me guess: Discourse AJAXes my reply to the post BEFORE it gets saved to DB (who needs validation?) and decided not to go on posting after I switched topics. That's the only logical thing I can come up with anyway.
-
Well, first off, were you complaining about the reply in the wrong topic, or what? That's what I buttumed. You can do that with multi tabs, but you can also do it by switching topics and then submitting, I think. At any rate that's what it looks like you did.
-
Both desktops have VGA + DisplayPort but they're both reasonably new. It's all moo when the monitors are all VGA by default though.
-
At any rate that's what it looks like you did.
Well I wouldn't have if Discourse didn't encourage me by showing me my post before it was actually posted!
-
It's all moo when the monitors are all VGA by default though.
How old are these monitors? I don't think I've seen one in years that didn't have, at a minimum, vga+hdmi (or maybe vga+dvi). My home monitor has 2HDMI ports, for some reason.
But yeah, if you don't have HDMI on both ends, obviously that's a show-stopper. Hopefully the display is OK in VGA.
-
2 of them were brand new last year, the other the year before.
The latter 2:
Hopefully the display is OK in VGA.
Yeah, it's absolutely fine.
-
Yeah, it's absolutely fine.
Ah, well, Ok then. Like I said above I had a monitor once that was HORRIBLE on VGA.

If only you could try "tools" or "command":
I knew the gorram thing would show up at a later date.

Still only shows for me in the quotes.

Buttuming you actually are a fan of that particular show, you might recognize this:

Kinky, and difficult.
-
DiscoursistencyTM! I see it in both of my posts, yours, and @RaceProUK's, and...I counted five, but I'm not going back up there another time to see who I missed.
And that's not counting the quotes. I don't fricking know.;
I was pleased to note that alt+prtsc only copied the search window; I expected to get the whole Start screen.

I am, and I remember--I think--seeing that on a "top ten dirty/rude things in Chinese on that show" list. I don't speak Chinese.

BTW I got the latest 9926b or whatever build at work over the weekend. The Start menu's different from the last build, and I'm cautiously in favor of it, but all the damn pre-supplied apps need to be on a submenu. This version doesn't seem to be sizeable like the last build; instead, there's a four-way arrow that expands to the full Start screen.
And Cortana's on the taskbar, but if you read any articles you already knew that. IIRC it says "ask me anything!" in the text box. I haven't tried it yet.
They dicked about with the glyphs in the minimize/maximize/close buttons, and the result is a definite disimprovement. "minimize" is now in the middle of the button, not the bottom, so it no longer has an implied meaning. Beyond that the glyphs are all drawn with thinner lines.
-
Installing 9926 now, will check it out tomorrow.

Did you not already have the last build installed?
-
Nah - didn't get transferred over when I changed laptop, then I reinstalled it in VirtualBox, installed the Guest Additions and it stopped booting.
-
Ah. As I think I mentioned, I had a spare machine with no OS right when I needed a web server, so I killed a bunch of birds with one CD.
-
I am
So do you prefer:
- two by two, hands of blue.
- no power in the verse can stop me.
- it is somewhat fuzzier on the matter of kneecaps.
-
Me, I like the special hell.
-
That's a good one as well.
-
My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
-
I only carried the bullet for a while.
-
- winkey + start typing doesn't work
- clicking outside the start menu doesn't close it
- either one of those previous two would have been minor, but together they really confound me

What always bugged me in the back of my mind (not enough to not like the show, mind), was trying to figure out if they were in a particular solar system or multiple systems. Both seemed more or less likely at times.
-
Yeah but that image has some hypnotic properties to make idiots think Hotline Miami isn't a shitty game. So it's ugly for a purpose: mind control.
-
1) winkey + start typing doesn't work
2) clicking outside the start menu doesn't close itNo repro on either. Clicking on the desktop or another window for me closes the start menu. Clicking on taskbar doesn't.
winkey+start typing -> text goes into the Cortana textbox.
I can't repro that missing bit from the window corner but is that Chrome? Stupidly, they draw that manually instead of letting Windows do it, and it's always been positioned wrong.

Given the number of planets and moons, I'd say multiple systems is more likely. Especially given the talk of "Earth that was." At times, it seems that they had forgotten where Earth was.

Didn't they mention 10 planets in Serenity (the movie)? I never counted the names they mentioned, but I figured that covers it all, providing they are all terraformed.
The star system not being our own is, I think, granted. I always buttumed some kind of sleeper "ark", thought they never really explained that.

They were obviously in a different system than ours. I recall stuff about a migration or something to settle everything. But some of the stuff about the way they traveled seemed to make it like they were in a particular solar system. But...then it seemed like the habitable planets were all over the damned place.
I got the impression it was one of those things that they (writers, producers, etc) never really knew themselves and just went with whatever made a better story. And the stories managed to make the ambiguity and whatnot worth it (for me).

Again, pretty sure Serenity mentioned terraforming in the intro somewhere. Been a while though.

Yes, but so what? I guess I watch too many astronomy type shows.

It was mentioned multiple times in Firefly and a few times throughout Serenity.

10 would seem to not be an exceptional number of planets for a star system. Looks pretty common actually. It's just that we didn't have any reliable means of detecting them until recently (and it's still a pain).
-
Total planets, maybe. Rocky planets with roughly Earth-like gravity (strong enough that people aren't jumping 10 feet in the air, weak enough that they can still walk) might be a bit more rare

Sure, but all of them in the habitable zone? Terraforming doesn't magically increase or reduce the amount of energy hitting the planet from the sun.

Even if some were moons of gas giants, it sounds like bullshit (which is fine for TV SF show, of course, but it's still bullshit).
