So I actually picked up an Acer AL1916W while out thrifting today. It is a sideways upgrade from the Acer X193w I was using as they are both 19" with a 1440x900 maximum resolution, and still a downgrade from the Acer X223w with the faulty power switch I had before, but for $10 I am not going to complain about picking up another 16:10 panel. The AL1916W looks slightly sharper so that's nice I guess, but I will keep looking.

A bit of Steam Trading Card art this time - this one is "The Void", from Race The Sun.

For some reason i can only include it as a link:

It's Holly from Red Dwarf!

It looks like XFCE with Faenza icons? Sharp looking wallpaper, too. You're creation? Oh, I also like a panel-above-panel-below arrangement, but I don't see it too often, so thumbs up!

I list all the theming I used on the actual DeviantArt page:

I can't claim credit for the wallpaper, and as for the panel arrangement, I'm just old school...

Done away with the classic start menu and moved back to a plank based setup.

The tiny arrow on bottom right corner is an expandable notification area for those rare times I need to access it

Alucard from Castlevania has put in an appearance on my GPD Win Max 2021.
