    Trying out Peppermint OS One. It's nice. Looks like absolute crap and uses a crappy panel, so I removed both. Looks rather nice now I think.

    I'm quite proud of my one :D

    Its aims are area maximum usage and cleanness.

    Everything minimized (panel hidden):

    KDE + Chromi style = win + area!
    [​IMG]

    Mouse Hovering panel (KDE desktop theme = Plateau) (for minimalism!)
    [​IMG]

    Enjoying the always-full-screen experience Chromi style offers, without losing the close buttons or window decoration :cool:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    (by the way, the apps I use on my .bashrc are called 'fortune' for fecthing a random quote/message and cowsay for displaying that inside a cow's balloon)

    (most notable firefox add-ons are autoHideStatusbar and TinyMenu)

    Try cmus, it's great!

    To me, it beats every other linux music player which, sincerely enough, I don't like any. I like mplayer for everything else on media, just not for music.

    Nah, I was just messing with him. I frankly prefer mplayer for everything, frame-buffer or X. I bet his program's not even close to it being as good as mplayer :p

    Well anyway do try cmus, it's great ;) particularly if you are a vim user like me. It features :ex commands, j/k for up/down like and stuff :D

    And well yeah I didn't mention but its ncurses only.

    LXDE on my other laptop, nice red distinction between the two :)

    Also, my media player may be getting into Ubuntu 10.10's Software Center with a bit of luck, which is very exciting :D
