It's been a while since I dusted off Haiku and gave it a shot at customization. After poking and prodding a bit, I am rather pleased with this one -
Using an image from the Unsplash package. Replicants on the desktop are the Activity Monitor meters, Weather (from the package repository) and WordClock (from the package repository). Within the Deskbar, there is WebWatch.
UI font is Montserrat, installed globally outside of packages.
I know it's not as busy as some screenshots, but I figured with the Replicants on the desktop, it's not as bare, as they are technically programs without borders.
Whoa, that looks lovely!
I can't wait for the day when Haiku is secure enough for my threat model. It seems so calm and old-school, and yet both powerful and modern.
I love Haiku. If I wasn't a Steam user, it'd be my daily driver.
What is your threat model?
Well, it requires that my machines have disk encryption and a password, for one thing.
Pretty basic I guess 😅 Haiku doesn't have any of those?
Nope! There used to be a login screen available for BeOS, but Haiku doesn't have this. As for disk encryption, I imagine it'll be a long time before someone ports cryptsetup or anything like that.
I see. Oh welp. 😊
