.xprofile settings
Posted: 2023-01-31 Filed under: desktop, system | Tags: .bashrc, lxdm, slim, xprofile Leave a commentBefore discovering Slim I usually just used lxdm, which is nice and feature rich. However, login managers like lxdm (and I hear this applies to GDM, LightDM, and more…) do not obey any settings I put in, for example, ~/.xinitrc
. Therefore, ~/.xprofile

Disable GTK3 window management
Posted: 2018-11-04 Filed under: desktop, system | Tags: .bashrc, gtk3, gtk3-nocsd, lxdm, nocsd, profile, window, xfce Leave a commentSome GTK3 programs, such as file-roller

In another case, if I have the compositor turned off, the window edges are not smoothened and look ugly.

as ~/.dir_colors
. I edited to my liking, for example, I do not want coloured files to be in bold.

.bashrc and .bash_profile
Posted: 2017-12-26 Filed under: system | Tags: .bashrc, .bash_profile, export, source 2 CommentsI never had the habit of setting up ~/.bashrc
and ~/.bashr_profile
or modifying them or any way. I was just happy with the prompt presented when I opened the terminal. It never bothered me that my normal user did not have a colour scheme, for example. Recently, I got curious about that and checked the Slackware Wiki.
Plenty of useful information there.
