    Just because the max/min/close buttons are on the left doesn't make it OS X like. Makes it easier to use, and they aren't even in the same order as OS X. And I've just switched DEs, after I broke Hardy. Generally been sticking with Lucid.

    ^ Totally coming to you for help making my screen look pretty once I go Lucid. I really like that look! Very similar to my Openbox look in #!

    Oh come come. Wouldn't you admit that there are other elements to that screenshot that seem rather OS Xesque? (*cough* grey theme *cough*).

    Thanks! I will have to try this when I get home. I am still trying to get Compiz to make a cube out of my desktop (can't quite get it yet), but I may have to put that on the side for this one for the time being.

    Very nice man. Do you mind sharing a link or the name of the theme you got there? I'm particularly interested in the font used. Also, what did you use for the temps (not weather)?

    Thanks!
