How'd you get your top panel to look like that?
It's a background pic..

You can just drag-and-drop any picture you want to your panel :) It looks best if you make the picture exactly the same size your panel is.. Even transparent pics work, altough transparency is a bit broken in Gnome 2.14.0 and you get some strange colors.

Background made in Inkscape and exported as a transparent PNG (so I can change the desktop background color and still get the "shiny" effect)

I made the M88 icon (http://bin.woventhorns.com/m88_with_headphones117.png) and the gnomesword icon (http://bin.woventhorns.com/gnomesword117.png) (the one on the bottom), but the rest were from weboso's deviant art page (http://weboso.deviantart.com/gallery), except for possibly the top drive icons, which might be from ChaNinja (http://chaninja.deviantart.com), but I can't remember atm, and I'm on my Church's wireless where deviantart is blocked due to adult content.

If anyone is interested there's a faster d3a gtk port to the eXperience engine.
http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10725&highlight=
I need to put the d3a arrow in the menu before I release at gnome-look but other than that it's good. It's purpose is to give themers an easy example to follow for using the eXperience engine instead of the pixbuf engine. I haven't tinkered with it enough to say whether that is a good or bad thing or how much more flexible it is. The developer says test results say it is faster, and it does feel faster.

Thanks, I'm trying KDE out now.

I just installed the Kubuntu desktop on my Dapper build to test with XGL/Compiz. My only two complaints are that now the KDE theme bleeds over into Gnome and Superkaramba does not play nice with XGL/Compiz. Here is a screenshot of my current KDE desktop.

Those are Gdesklets btw. Superkaramba bleeds through my browser when XGL/Compiz is active.

I tried this and i think its a really polished theme and would love to use it except for the fact that a lot of my system tray icons have white backgrounds which means they stick out horrendously on black back grounds. Why oh why do developers not choose transparent pixels by default >_<

That's Enlightenment DR17 (http://www0.get-e.org/) not KDE. That's why there are no panels.

So (as default in many window managers) application-menues, windowlist-functions etc can be accessed by mouse or by pressing user-defiend keys. The answer to your question would be I prefer keybindings for launching applications. That could also be accomplished in KDE.

It doesn't zoom or expand. For that you'd probably need to use a desklet.

RL Launcher? never even heard of that one :) Apart from the cairo-clock, I don't use any extra apps on my desktop. I even removed the icons instantly after the screenshot (they would get hidden anyway when I launch my glslideshow wallpaper ;) )

It's just a gnome panel. If I'd figure ot how to get rid of those bars at the ends of the panel, I'd use a background pic on the bottom panel too (like the top panel has).

Gnome's panels are actually very flexible things. I just noticed that there is even option for scaling panel backgrounds in gconf-editor (I'm not sure if it was there in Breezy, I don't remember seeing it but I might just have missed it) If they'd only get rid of the stupid bars, and fix the transparency issue in Gnome 2.14, gnome-panels would look awesome :)

[GarethMB]

The ones that programs use by default. Such as the Gaim system tray icon, Amarok system tray icon, pretty much much everything included by default in a program has a white background.

uuh. transparent panel backgrounds really don't work well in gnome 2.14.. they get strange colors, as you can see.. The images have no colors but white, but they become yellow in panels.. Also, I have mentioned that if anybody needs resized/modified versions of the images, send me a message and I'll do them. :) Those panels were made to fit my panel layout in Breezy, and I didn't use menubar but the single-button menu..

I also attached my current background pics to the 'rounded gnome-panels'-thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=108446
They only use transparency for rounded corners so they look a lot better in Dapper.. The old images work great in Breezy though.

Edit: It's also possible to set the background pics to scale properly in panels with gconf-editor (in Dapper, at least, I don't remember seeing this option in Breezy but I might have just missed it).. See the link, I have put the instructions in the last post ;)

I have also enabled the rain effect. This has lead to some tearing, but you can get the idea from the screenshot.

I am also showing off the miniwin pluggin! Far better than any gdesklet.

How do you make the blocks on the background moving, is it a kind of active wallpaper like e17 can handle or is it a deamon which add those blocks ?

I tried this, i uncommented everything and made everything 000000(black) but the icons still had white backgrounds. Why?

[poofyhairguy]

Really nice !!!, one of the most amazing screenshot i ever seen here.

Thanks- I take pride in my eye candy.


How do you make the blocks on the background moving, is it a kind of active wallpaper like e17 can handle or is it a deamon which add those blocks ?

Its a screensaver that is running on top of my desktop in XGL. The command for it (and my other favorites) are found here:

I tried this, i uncommented everything and made everything 000000(black) but the icons still had white backgrounds. Why?because you didn't do
killall gnome-panel

also, take out
#widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "panel"
#class "*MenuItem*" style "panel"
or black will be in your menuitem

to do what you want, the only color you should 'need' to uncomment is
# bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
because you are using a pixmap for bg normal.

I have installed XGL/Compiz on Mepis 6. To do this I had to replace KDM with GDM to get it to work. In the process I said what the hell and installed gnome by using apt-get install gnome-desktop. To my surprise, I got the newest Ubuntu Gnome desktop with the new wallpaper. Here are a couple of screenshots of Mepis 6 while I am logged into Gnome with xgl/compiz running in the background.

Should I post in the Mepis forums how to do this?

How did you get the menus to be transparent?

[mstlyevil]

How did you get the menus to be transparent?

I did it by adjusting the trailfocus pluggin in compiz.

minimum_window_brightness_level 100

minimum_window_opacity_level 75

maximun_trail_count to 2

[krusbjorn]

I did it by adjusting the trailfocus pluggin in compiz.

Trailfocus doesnt affect my menus at all. You using the debs from Quinns repos?

Yes. And the latest at that. I believe it was a result of the fading effect as they were closing when taking the screenshot.

Looks nice, but your SuperKarama hard disk thing's showing home as empty - mine did as well, if you find the .theme file (/home/user/.kde/share/apps/superkaramba/theme/<themename>/*.theme) and edit it you should be able to set where the Home dir is so that it reports a proper %.. I've set my three hard disk ones to my linux hard disk, my windows hard disk and my music partition :D

I´m starting to really hate the way the gnome panel looks, in every screenshot it has that same rusty feel lol, so I made a slight mod for mine inspired by bonafide (http://www.kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=bonafide) at kde-look, but I think i´m going to start using kicker in gnome :s

Well thank you! I didn't even notice that, but It would be really nice to have it monitor my music partition. I really don't care about anything but that, because with all of my games on my windows drive and my media on the media drive I can never fill that 35GB up >_<

Hi and thanks! It´s the vanilla dapper theme! But with the spice of compiz/xgl, if you want to know how I made the gnome-panel look like that, look at the latest screenshot by bonafide on kde-look.org.

btw icons are the updated OSX ones on gnome-look.org :)

oh. well... I haven't gotten to install dapper yet.... nor do i think I'll do it before it's officially launched.

I'll try to make the panel look like yours, though. I like the way it's limits are just hinted by those lines, the rest transparent.

BTW, how do you "edit" your system to show a log in your desktop of current activity?

Like if you're gonna apt-get update/upgrade and I want it to be seen on my desktop?

I'm using the konsole - yakuake if that matters

you mean seeing the console output directly on the desktop? well... you set kwin to hide borders for that window, than set the console app to be transparnt an hide the menubar and scrollbar. easy, right?

unfortunatelly, it doesn't work with konsole, cuz it always leaves a frame around the window. I use gnome-terminal for such a thing. others work, too.

nice wallpaper, btw :)
