Show off your Linux desktop

And go on a fanatical rant about how much vista suxorz an you no spel.

 

Somehow those sick crazy GANT icons made their way back onto my MEPIS KDE desktop

 

nice clean kde desktop .. perhaps i should give mephis a try

 

You could at least spell it right!

 

Mephis is in Tennessee lol

 

That's Me mphis.

 

LOL! Jayayess1190 beat me to it! :tongue:

 

You mean fell for it first.

 

If it was intended as a trap for grammar sharpies. If not, he got the correction kill.

 

After changing themes for weeks (if not months) I have finally found one I like

 

Nice desk. What's the wallpaper?

 

Thanks the wallpaper is a drawing of the game assassins creed, I cant post links yet but put www . in front of this zixpk.com/2008/08/hd-wallpaper-masyaf.html

 

Here's mine:

 

Just found some new toys on Ubuntu! (no picture editing programs)

I know its gaudy, I just couldn't resist

 

Most people here have seen that..

 

So? This is the show off your desktop thread. He's showing off something he just found.

NTropy, now you know what I do when I get bored.

 

this is one of the emerald themes

 

Haha thanks bungalo!

Raistlon, that's a sick theme, how did you get the mac-like bar at the bottom? Also interesting 'man page'

 

The dock was found in the Add Remove programs "Avant Window Navigator". Great dock and you can customize it a bit, but I am still trying to figure out how to easily make it automatically load upon startup.

 

If you use gnome, you can go to System -> Sessions, click "Add". Give it whatever name you want and under "Command" type in "avant-window navigator" (without quotes and it should start automatically at boot.

 

I knew it was probably going to be something really simple like that. Thanks for sharing.

 

Ha! I'm not the only one whose video card fails when it comes to capturing a perfect screenshot of the fiery letters!

 

Is that the Dust window borders theme? I like it, fits in well with the panels.

 

Let's see some activity!

 

If I ever settle on a distro, I'll post one up!

 

that was the funniest thing I've seen to day

 

Hehehe... :laugh:

 

I would show off my current, but my connection times out everytime I try to upload a screen. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm on a better connection.

 

Back to MEPIS 8....fast and stable:

 

Looks like a UFO in that pic, Zoid.

 

There be a lot of unidentified things on this desktop....lol Sidux is my second choice, but having wireless glitch...either me or the software....have to stick with Debian, although PCLOS 2009 b2 is coming along nicely!

 

Love it! How can I get that theme, or, specifically, that wallpaper?

 

Theme: OrangeLinsta-Darkice
Conky
I forgot where I got the desktop pic
Replaced fast user switch with a shutdown icon. I usually just sudo halt/reboot anyways.

A few things I want:
Antialiasing to get rid of jaggies
I think I'm gonna make my own custom colored Human icon set.

 

Teh classy, Bungalo Bill! :yes: :GEEK:

 

Jeezus Bungalo....'tis the END !!

 

The end is so beautiful though

 

Pippin: See what, Gandalf?
Gandalf: White shores and beyond. A far green country with a swift sunrise.
Pippin: Well thats not so bad.
Gandalf: No, it isn't...

 

Here's mine.
Ubuntu 8.10, Gnome 2.24.

 

Very nice! I'll have to check out that wallpaper. :yes:

 

That's different Thomas...back to gnome?

 

Diff icon theme....bored...

 

Ya, just for a week or two, installing Kubuntu soon.

As for the wallpaper, I got it on GraphxService.com

 

I could tell by your open tab.

 

Pix....I saw your post re the Lenovo ThinkBang....you're a tough negotiator....

 

LOL! :laugh:

 

can someone tell me how to make the terminal without border, just like a gadget in teh desktop..

like this?

is it conky?

 

Here's mine. Intrepid Ibex 8.10 x64...

 

Interesting...looks 'like' a conky trick...but I'll check it out...

 

It's definitely not conky. My guess is that it's urxvt (unicode-rxvt) with a custom configuration. urxvt "tricks" are all over google. Someone posted a how-to for it earlier in this thread. Lemme see if I can find it....

P.S. Here's the post. Instructions are not WM-specific.

 

here is my Fedora 10 setup. Nothing fancy, but I like the look of it.

I see a lot of you guys are running Compiz. I keep trying to like it, but just can't. I have a Precision M2400 with a T9400 c2d, 4gb of ram, and the Quadro 380m video card, and I just can't get it to run as snappy with Compiz enabled as without it, especially scrolling in windows and Firefox.
