Devilspie will do the borderless terminal.

 

Slick. That about sums it up. :yes:

 

Thanks pixelot!

 

I did some search, there r several ways to do that. using devilspie, compiz, or just use another terminal call tilda(easiest)... tried using compiz, but some how it made my conky disappeared .. i will try devilspie later

 

So the conky thread was a no go. Someone has to appreciate the time I spent figuring out how to do all this. The most time was the gpu clocks.

I left out all the formatting code. Just giving you the juicy parts.

Code:

conky is addicting.

 

I started a 'share your conky rc file' thread a few months ago around here and couldn't get it to take off You can find it...it does have some nice contributions if I remember.

 

bored...another icon set....searching for wallpaper now...

 

Shucks, I need to try out Conky, from all I've been hearing about it!

 

here is mine... I just installed Intrepid, mac4lin, and configured conky....

Getting a 404.

 

fixed sorry, i was having problem with my ftp

 

Nice Mac spoof!

 

awesome desktop!

 

Debian Testing, KDE 4.1.3.
Debian Testing is FAST!

 

You've got an extra HTTP in there, Thomas.

But I love the desktop. Very clean and classy. Not exactly Christmas, but you are in GA.

What's the Gnome button in the corner do, if anything?

Oh, and that's one LONG minimized bar.

 

Shut it

It's not a Gnome button lmao, It's a button for Plasma, KDE 4's widget system.

 

LOL! I see. I should've thought about that a few seconds....KDE, Gnome.

 

VERY old screenshot, but still a goodie:

 

Arch Linux on my new T500



OS: Arch Linux
WM: XFCE4
Panels: Xfce panel and Tint2
Conky

 

I just swapped to kdemod from 2 years with gnome. And my desktop is horrid. Major kudos to anyone who can teach me how to theme and fix the firefox ugliness. And that panel thing. How do I get my systray and digital clock all the way to the right? No spaces.

 

LOL.......there's some FF specific options in System Settings, also look at the GTK options there.

 

yeah, need to get a gtk theme

 

You can get QT to do the actual drawing of GTK programs, though, makingi t uniform.

 

Really? how? System Settings > Appearance?

 

There's a gtk-qt engine somewhere...check arch's repos

Here's my Desktop, KDE 4.1.3, Debian Testing.

 

Your wallpaper is very... subtle.

 

Thomas...I've got a new laptop...and need a distro for this one...can you link me to the debian testing download and tell which CD/DVD's I need to download to install? I don't want to install the whole world...

 

Here, you jsut need the first one(not the KDE).

Choose not to install a DE, then follow this for KDE latest.
http://kde4.debian.net/

Here's repo for flash and stuff.
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/

 

Very awesome desktops, estrogen and dakor. :yes:

Thomas....nice, umm, well....nice transparent folders. :GEEK:

 

Thomas, how did you get the Desktop folder to be transparent? And is it always fixed there, or did you just open it and put there to look nice?

 

Thanks Thomas....I've come upon an Asus A8js that gonna be pure Debian...

This dell precision I haven't done anything with other than work and GAME my arse off....

 

It's always there, well, any folder I want, I can have /usr/bin there if I feel like it

Haha nice, let me know if you need/want help.

 

After trying OpenSuSE, I will never recommend another distro besides it to a new user......

 

nice desktop

its KDE4 or Gnome
it looks different

 

Gnome of course!

 

How do you do it? Teach me! Teach me!

 

It's part of KDE lol.
It's on most KDE distros by default(4, that is), just modify the settings to show other folders.

 

Very nice Amaru.... I need to get Debian or Mepis installed on my new acquired A8JS....this precision is strictly work and gaming

 

currently this but im in the process of updating things on it

 

Darn.

(10)

 

streather, I really like using the transparent panels...and nice background. :smile:

 

OpenSuSE 11.1 Gnome

 

My current desktop;
Ubuntu 8.10-64
AWN and conky
Nodoka Silver & echo icon set

 

You could turn off the shadow under the top panel. I think it would make it look 'smoother'.

Aren't you having problems seeing the words in the window list? You could flip the wallpaper around so the white bit is at the bottom. That could make the words clearer.

Actually, i think if you gave the conky bars a blueish or greyish colour, the desktop would seem more 'wholesome'.

 

Probably true but I'm fiddling a bit to see how it matches with the Nodoka theme blue color.

 

Aye. But I guess I'm just boring this way. Everything is usually all blue or all black or all grey.. *sigh*

 

I was worried about that at first then I realized I could see it just find.

 

now that's a nice desktop !
