arch latitude desktops

I've been really bad at writing up what I've been doing recently, probably because I've just been trying stuff and I don't know ahead of time what's going to work or what I'll be happy with.

I was trying to get plasma 5 desktop all configured up real nice, but I was struggling with it a bit. on one hand it was almost TOO slick looking for my low-tech tastes. on the other it didn't seem to be as infinitely configurable as it's made out to be. at least, not so I could figure it out. to cap it all off the thing started crashing on me , so I decided to try mate again. The only thing that's put me off mate when I installed it independent of Mint has been the look, which was dumb, beacause it turns out I was only a theme away from something I like a lot.

Just had a thought; I'll dump my terminal history below. It has lots of stuff there, but other things are missing. I must've used different terminals for those.

Anyway the main points are:

I installed mate packages (including caja and whatnot)

I reverted to my original conky conf file (now .conkyrc) and it seems to work fine (as opposed to in kde)

I grabbed a numix theme from the gnome gtk-2 site. works fine except a few wee tweaks.

dconf-editor seems to be useful util. No doubt it can all be done by hand, but not sure I can be bothered.

um. will update if I think of anything else.
