I’m still running Openbox without a desktop environment, on Debian Testing.

I wanted to find a way to automatically remove the window decorations when a window was maximised (in Openbox), and, when it was restored to its original size, to automatically add its window decorations again.

For years I’ve used StarDict, but it seems to have been abandoned, and not everything works as well as it used to (I can’t set a custom font anymore, for example).

I tried to manage an iPod classic 6th generation with gtkpod on Debian Testing, but gtkpod gave me the following error message: Could not find the ipod firewire id I searched online and found various suggestions on how to remedy this.

Looking at some unpublished posts, I realised there were a few screenshots I never posted.

I understand little of the complexity surrounding fonts in Debian (and most other Linux distributions).

These are screenshots of the desktops I have used in 2015.

I’ve long controlled the sound volume with keybindings in Openbox, but now that PulseAudio has become default, I keep forgetting how to do so with this new sound server.

These are the very few screenshots I took in 2014.

You change your icon theme and find that Thunar uses the stock Gnome icons for directories, like in this image: Other file managers–Nautilus, Caja, PCManFM–use your theme’s folder icons, but Thunar refuses to obey.
