after a coupla months running my main panel / dock at the top of the screen, to get reacquainted with the boring existence of the dirty proles, i have now returned it to the rhs edge of the screen, just as #TheGreatProphetZarquon intended ðŸĪŠ ðŸ™ƒ

@msdropbear Eh, I'm happy enough with a panel at the top -- I have a large Conky running on the right hand side of my screen.

@kerravonsen ah yes that's right, now i recall i learned several weeks+ ago from you that you're another #Conky user. tbh though, i'm a bit of a traitor, having run Conkies for several years but with the advent of their much improved reliability in Plasma ~5.25.x, i jumped over to using multiple Plasma desktop widgets... albeit on my second Activity sometimes i re-enable my Conkies for old times' sake.

over time, do you muck about with alternative panel positions, or is top always simply the "right" way for you?

isn't it just so fab that we have this cornucopia of choice! 🎉 ðŸĨģ ðŸ‘Ŋ‍♀ïļ

@msdropbear I have my Conky set up how I like it, and I tend not to change it much. Every now and then I might find something new and fun that I can add -- like more informative weather -- and I'll try it out.

Do I muck about with alternative panel positions? Generally only when I'm trying out a new desktop environment, but I still stick to top or bottom, not side. But of course trying out a new DE is when one runs around having fun trying out all the NEW THINGS... and then one settles down and doesn't bother changing anything. Well... actually I do change my colours and my wallpaper quite frequently, but I have scripts for that.

I always seem to come back to Fvwm, though. Yes, it is ancient, but it is SO CONFIGURABLE.

@kerravonsen excellent! 💜🐧
