Finally!

I've been hoping for something dark and easy on the eyes .

Personally I've been using the ubuntu high contrast theme (blue bg with white fg) just so my machine isn't a lightbulb and it's easier to read small text....

Now if there is a theme to go along with green/amber and black... Sign me up.

Screenshot of Ubuntu's high contrast... Now imagine something like black green, going with that... More dark themes! Less headaches (at least for me :) )

heres one that I know Mackenzie will enjoy:

Inspired from the famous Mootrix movie,...

The Mootrix wallpaper

Using xwinwrap and glmatrix

Code if anyone wants to play:


xwinwrap -ni -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID -delay 50000 -density 60


Obviously you need xwinwrap installed.

Don't mean to offend, because obviously some people have different tastes than others, but I don't find it particularly appealing.

However, it obviously has some fans, so it must be good in someone's eyes.

Nice work.

First image on this post may interest people.

Matrix look ain't for me, though it does look cool. Maybe in time it will grow on me.

i don't understand how people can stand to look at dark themes all the time but *shrug* whatever works for you I guess.

[RAV TUX]

Thanks guys

Now, if you could use a screensaver as your desktop background with all these green gibberish floating down your screen, that would be really nerdy.

[nalmeth]

Wasn't there a matrix effect for compiz a while back? The Korrora liveCD had it..

hmm...
that seems very ram and cpu wasting...

[maagimies]

i don't understand how people can stand to look at dark themes all the time but *shrug* whatever works for you I guess.Well...
Staring at a page with a bright white background is not just like staring at a lightbulb all day long, it IS staring at a lightbulb all day long.I prefer the contrast of white(ish, not pure white) on black/dark bg, and therefore I like dark themes. It's both easier on my eyes and easier to read, but I understand that people prefer otherwise.
And a console just HAS to have dark bg with light fg, I couldn't stand a light bg in a console :eek:

You cannot see it from the screenshot, but the desktop wallpaper was animated!! xwinwrap.

Actually I don't use darkthemes myself, except to impress :mrgreen:

Thanks for the link above!!

[graabein]

There is a forum called Art & Design. Move?

I really want to run a animated gif as my wallpaper....if anyone knows how to do this please let me know...

[macogw]

RAV, the gif's animation unsticks if you make it a wallpaper? That's weird. Does it show the first, last, or a random frame?

It just doesn't work if I make it a wallpaper.

[_simon_]

I don't think I have ever been quoted so much in one thread lol

For the guy saying they don't think it works in AIGLX, I'm not running it in XGL...

I don't know about having it permanently running as your wallpaper but it's another cool trick to show your Windows friends.

I don't actually have that as my desktop I just thought I'd give it a try and post the screenshot here :)

[Illuvator]

Not for me I don't think alas, but I like the concept :)

[lotacus]

sorry, dude, but that theme looks horrid.
