Guidelines

Ok, it seems the old configurations thread got a bit messy over time and I thought it would be a nice idea to have something a bit more organized this time. Especially to make it easier for users that just want to browse for a nice config and apply it.

So the idea would be that you upload your configs in the following pattern here:

Make a small post about your config with a small screenshot and use a second post right underneath to upload your config.

Please don't upload any screenshots without configs here, but use the new foobar gallery thread instead.

Also please post your questions and comments about any formatting somewhere else, maybe with a link to the corresponding formatting in case there is one.

Irrelevant posts may be removed from this thread by moderation at any time.


I'll post two quick example posts underneath to show I would think this thread could look like in the future.

Thanks for taking all this into consideration and for everyones participation in the last thread.
