hey, i've changed the color of my panel (gnome) before, but it never looks right because the window list still uses the grey color. is it possible to change that color as well?

Not sure what Dolphin is but Ill be more than happy to upload the files I had to change or any links to the files I used. I thought about making a how to cause Ive seen all the ones done for Gnome and I couldnt find any that show how to configure KDE to look like OS X. I added a screenshot to kde-look (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=52541) it has a better theme for liquid weather on it then the one I posted here. Actually you cant see it to well.

you should do a 'howto'. that looks pretty good. i've always found osx's dark themes to be really great looking (but not enough to buy a mac).

'dolphin' is a file manager for kde. supposedly, it will be installed, along with konqueror, in kde4 by default. it will work in any wm, though. i've used it in openbox. it seems like it will eventually be to konqueror what thunar is to nautilus ( [ah]avis[/choo!] ).

how did you get it so you can view what apps are on each screen if you are using twinview? i can't figure this out.

[~LoKe]

With TwinView, you get two separate task bars. All I had to do was add a second window list.

This is going to be a big thread this month, 5 pages in one day :-o

I think I'll try attachments this time instead of links.

Here's the rundown:
gnome
Controls- SphereCrystal
Icons- Amaranth
Wallpaper- I googled dual monitor wallpapers and this is one of the best ones I found
Font- Domestic Manners

beryl
Emerald- oxygen
Skydome- A picture I took out the window of an airplane somewhere between Georgia and Maryland
Cube Caps- BSoD spoof

[crimesaucer]

This is my February theme:

-My gtk theme is my own custom re-write of xfce-winter
-My Emerald theme is my own called "rusted", it is a variation of my theme "moonglow" on Beryl Themes at: http://themes.beryl-project.org/theme_details.php?id=34
-My icons are Human_Ultra_Violet from here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=46010
-My Browser is PimpZilla, but Cylence Diamond also looks good with it.
-My Beryl Skydome is a Graffiti piece by Doze Green that I made into a skydome using GIMP.
-My Beryl Cap is the same Graffiti piece by Doze Green, in it's original form.
-My Wallpaper is also a Graffiti piece by Doze Green that I turned into a Wallpaper using Gimp.
-The font I use is called Judas and is here: http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=Judas
-Conky 1.4.5 with my own custom .conkyrc using Judas font (I will post it if you ask)

All the images I used were found on Google images and took some GIMP work to create the wallpaper and skydome. I don't post any of it to share because it's just for my personal enjoyment. Doze Green and Salvador Dali are my favorite two artists, so I enjoy his art as my desktop environment.

Just Xfce 4.4 and VistaBut (http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=32227). No Beryl or Compiz or whatever. I did it to see if Aero style could run on a five year old, ancient graphics chip, 256MB SD RAM laptop :p

The lag was just barely enough for me to get fed up with it and turn the compositing off. I liked the drop shadows though...

[m.musashi]

mostly from gnome-look.

I really like this theme. Could you share a few more details? What WM and border theme are you using? I looked for the wall on gnome look using the file name from the screen shot but couldn't find it.

I also copied your conky idea but went with a bit more info.

Does anyone know how to get conky to center across the bottom? It seems to only center on either the right or left. Also, can you make conky go all the way across? If I try a long line of text it gets chopped after the middle of the screen.

Thanks.

Anyway, here is what I'm working on. Emerald theme is a modified from crimesaucer's theme.

@ m.musashi- Your whole theme looks really good. I like the piece of art you used for your wallpaper, is that a watercolor? Anyway, that's really nice looking with beautiful colors. I think I'm really into using pieces of art as desktop wallpapers. I might do all Salvador Dali next month using Beryl and the transparent cube/skydome.

[fuscia]

hey crimesaucer, i like that stuff of yours. that wallpaper made me think of the new orleans saints being abducted (explaining their loss to the bears). looks good.

Thanks. I think I still have a ways to go but thanks to this thread (and the previous n months) I'm learning. Although mostly I just copy everyone else. The .emerald is just a color variation on yours (thanks btw). I don't like the icons though. I can never find a good theme I like and end up changing them individually and then they end up rather jumbled. I'd really love to find an excellent and complete icon theme.

The wall is supposed to look like a watercolor but I don't know if it really was. I found it following some link in one of the desktop threads. I send you a copy via pm.

[crimesaucer]

@ m.musashi- Well, I think your use of colors was really nice. As for icons, I really like the ones fuscia recommended, the Human_Ultra pack, and the Human_Effect pack. I'll check my mail for the link to the wallpaper.

@ fuscia- Speaking of New Orleans, check out his piece about the floods of 2005: http://www.whitewallssf.com/pages/doze_pg.html

The art is incredible, but it's too depressing for me to put it on my desktop.

[epimer]

Laptop this month. I'm still not entirely happy with the background (it's from DeviantArt) - I can't seem to find a dark background that I really like. And the Tomboy and Trash icons in the bottom panel don't play nicely.

Emerald theme is Scaled Black (seems to be a popular one this month!).
GTK theme is Darker theme, from Gnome Look.
Icons are Vista-Inspirate 1.0, from Gnome Look, except the last.fm one, which was from DeviantArt.
Font is Luxi Sans, but I guess it's not that evident from the shots. I just find it a bit more polished than the default sans.

[renzokuken]

been a while since i posted any screens, so heres my new laptop setup......no beryl, cos i couldnt get it working properly, just plain old gnome.....the way i like it actually

[rsambuca]

SmiLey497 for one night and one night only

Love the icons! Where did you find those?

[crimesaucer]

These aren't scaled black. They are themes that use the v-runner engine, and the pix map buttons from scaled black. Everything else is totally different, not a single setting is even close to scaled black. I could of used any button theme in any version of an Emerald theme, or no pix map button themes at all and just used the default close buttons, but I felt the scaled black button theme to be the most unique of all the Emerald themes (different then osx, vista, kde, and gnome). In fact, if you download moonglow, and compare every setting to scaled black, you will see how they are very different. Even the use of the buttons are different since I used the menu button to set a "set above" and "unset" button since I find them more useful features for working with GIMP or any other app that I want to always have on top and visible.

My next themes might use the minimal pix map buttons, unless I how learn to make my own.

nice site. i'm surprised you find it depressing, but only as it didn't occur to me at all.

btw, do you think their exhibition layout is designed to keep people from right-clicking on the images and saving them, or was it just a neat look? (i like it, but it's not particularly effective, if the former.)

[crimesaucer]

It, might be flash for that reason or just for the cleanness of a nice flash site, all though there are a lot of images on Google images and other sites of his work. As for the depressing thing, it's just the Haliburton and Divine Haliburton's deaths in the flood and the way the shelter at the superdome was handled is a bit too depressing to look at everyday on my desktop, so I chose his more mystical works that have a slightly different energy. I would rather have something more like this "Oye Querida" from here in the Recent Works Gallery: http://www.dozegreen.com/

Once again it's a flash site so no right clicks.

Well this is my first button scheme, it is a variation of the minimal buttons, just bigger and made to match my Emerald theme. I'm going to play around with it some more and then post it to Beryl latter.

If you want to colour code your panel handles (the grey bits in your panel) then see here:

That's a nice tip, thanks. Do you know how to apply it to the "Show/Hide" buttons too?

(I guess I should read through the GTK+ API docs.... :))

It's all done, I just keep getting an error from Beryl's site when I try to upload, so I'll just do it latter.

[m.musashi]

@ m.musashi- Well, I think your use of colors was really nice. As for icons, I really like the ones fuscia recommended, the Human_Ultra pack, and the Human_Effect pack. I'll check my mail for the link to the wallpaper.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I tried to check these out but only the violet version seems to install for some reason. I extracted them all and copied to my .theme but that didn't work. Dragging the tar.bz to the theme manager worked but only installed violet. Oh well, I'll keep playing.

This is basically the same but with human-strange icons. I did play around with conky a bit more. Man, what a pain in the a** to get everything to line up. It's not really the way I envisioned but after an hour or so I gave up. I wish the directions on the conky site were a bit more descriptive.

what theme is that? is it BlingNoir? if it isn't, where can i get it?

I think it depends on the particular theme you are using. I know some of the standard themes don't let the menu bar, date and such go transparent when you select that option. I have no idea why, I just know that if I pick a different theme I can get it to work. There may be a way to fix that without changing the theme but I don't know what it is. In the meantime, try some different themes on gnome-look. I'm sure there will be one that works for you.

[raul_]

I posted that on last month's thread. Just browse to ~/.themes/themename/panel or something like that and replace the files there with a transparent image (keeping the original names)

In Murrine at least (Don't know about other themes), If you go into the ~/.themes/Murrina*/gtk-2.0 folder and hand edit the gtkrc file using gedit (or whatever you use) you'll see that at the top of the file there are 2 lines which look like:


gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=32,32"
include "panel/panel-aq.rc"

Delete or add # to these lines and you'll remove the panel colouring command.
That's how I did it, anyway.

And now for something completely different...fedora core 6.

I've been wanting to try this so I finally decided to install it. It's pretty easy to install and looks nice and familiar but I don't think I'm going to leave Ubuntu. In fact, as soon as my feisty CD downloads this install is going the way of the dodo. Is it just me or are the Ubuntu servers really slow or just very popular. Feisty is downlaoding at less than 100kbps. Fedora downloaded at over 500kbps.

Yeah, the default install is pretty nice. I really like the Ubuntu philosophy and understand their reasons for the "human" tone desktop but I think something like this will be less of a shock to new users. Of course Kubuntu looks really nice.

For those of you running feisty that have metacity 2.17.5, you can have more buttons on your metacity themes but you'll have to add them to the theme and a metacity-theme-2.xml. See the Bright and Crux themes for howto, then add the buttons you want to gconf-editor>apps>metacity>general>button_layout
menu:above,stick,shade,minimize,maximize,close

If anyone can read the src and tell me how to change the variable roundness of the corners in the -2.xml I'd appreciate it. You can compile 2.17.5 for compositing but I have not done so yet. Info here

I really like this theme. Could you share a few more details? What WM and border theme are you using? I looked for the wall on gnome look using the file name from the screen shot but couldn't find it.
sorry for the late respond, kinda busy last week :)
it's gnome with Human gtk theme. I use PF Theme Sepia (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=49311) for emerald.
And about the wallpaper, I forgot to mention it, I got it from customize.org (http://www.customize.org/details/48277). I was doing random browsing when I found it :D
The icon is Buuf-iconset (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=46201).


Does anyone know how to get conky to center across the bottom? It seems to only center on either the right or left. Also, can you make conky go all the way across? If I try a long line of text it gets chopped after the middle of the screen.
I haven't tested yet, but maybe you can set the conky to use the same width as your resolution :)


Anyway, here is what I'm working on. Emerald theme is a modified from crimesaucer's theme.
Nice dark theme. I've always wanted to have dark theme, but I just could find good color combination :D

I actually tried that and it worked nicely. I also installed conky 1.4.5 and it has a nice optoin for layout (goto) that made it relatively easy to space the elements out how I wanted.

It's candido-orange (or candido-darkorange) from here (http://candido.berlios.de/pages/downloads.php) I have the top panel set ot tranparent and removed the bottom panel and placed conky there. I cleaned conky up a bit but my current is basicaly the same as a before so I'm not reposting it.

If nothing else, I now know how to as well. Thanks for enlightening us all. Although I seem to recall a question last month about transparent handles and the general consensus being that you can't do it. Is the panel background different in this respect or would that also work for handles?

Thanks, Hahah, 'memory bloated'. I've always loved eye candy no matter the cost...I've got a good overclocked system so I don't notice any slowdown. I must say though...Vista can get pretty sluggish after a few programs are loaded.

When I switched from XP/Vista to Ubuntu I was amazed how the swap file usage was always at 0 MB. Linux actually uses my Ram unlike windows :P :D

Actually, it's RocketDock v1.3, and uses very little memory.

I was about to say that it looked like object dock or rocket dock, I think rocket dock is better. I have it on my Xp dual partition, I find I don't need a dock for my xubuntu.

I noticed you had CCleaner. I like to use that, AdAware and Spyware Blaster to keep Windows clean. Also various registry cleaners form File Hippo or Softpedia. I pretty much only use Windows for utorrent (and my iriver) because I have it optimized for speed and I don't know if I can do the same in wine. (and iriver t-30 ums will not load properly on xubuntu)

[BOBSONATOR]

I pretty much only use Windows for utorrent


wine to the rescue

grab the latest exe from utorrent.com

download wine, sudo apt-get install wine

and then right click on the exe, and write open program with "wine"

and tada, everything works perfectly, i have been doing it for a while now.


EDIT: Ooops, didnt see the full post. what do you mean optomized by speed? give wine a try and see what happens.

'pollock ripoff'? i don't think so. that was found with the dead sea scrolls. only a miracle could account for the color remaining so vibrant after all those centuries. pollock's stuff looks more like a park statue's shoulder than that. this thing looks more like a paul jenkins.

Using that guide and following every tip with the speed ratios set for a T1 cable hook-up really makes a difference.

@ fuscia- That's one of my favorite Opera themes. I'm using a different one now, but I always liked the buttons and scroll bars for that one.

...also, this is my newest variation of my Xfce-rusted theme, I have added a gradient to my Thunar's toolbars:

Found the wall on NASA image of the day and decided to try and make a new desktop. After looking at it for a while I think I'm going back but I kind of like the emerald theme (truth - found on gnome look)

[ice60]

here's my new desktop 8)

[m.musashi]

Okay, that didn't last long. Modified crimesaucer's emerald again for this - just different colors.

[Onyros]

Giving E17 a spin, and lovin'it :D

This was on my Toshiba lappy, but I'm running it on my Thinkpad T23 and it's incredibly fast, sometimes it even feels faster than Fluxbox. Too bad it's still a little buggy, but nothing one can't live with.

File manager is PCManFM, btw. Everyone drooling at Thunar should take a look at PCManFM, instead.

What, exactly is the secret there? I arch that fast? I read a review of 6.10 in some Linux magazine (Linux User or something maybe) and the guy said it booted for him in 20 seconds. Mine takes 45 secs (not counting the time to type my username and password) from grub to desktop and I have a 2.4ghz athlon x2. Technically that should trump your laptop (not that I'm dissing on your laptop - I'm sure it's very nice). I have no idea what that review was using buy my setup ain't no dog.

EDIT: I just updated beryl. Notice the nice little thumbnail of the window on the task bar? Isn't that supposed to be a big deal with vista? I want to buy those beryl developers a beer. Any of you guys in Colorado?

[crimesaucer]

Well, this is that newer version of my gtk I'm working on, I installed Epiphany so the gtkrc would work in the browser. Here are two screenshots:

... Notice the nice little thumbnail of the window on the task bar? Isn't that supposed to be a big deal with vista? I want to buy those beryl developers a beer. Any of you guys in Colorado?

I love it, the thumbnail is active too. Say you have a video open on your second monitor (a common occurrence for me) and you need to switch inputs but don't want to pause the video; just hover over the window in the bar and up pops the video, chugging away unflinchingly. Holy crap I love this WM. I can't wait until the RC hits the repos.

[Edit] Here's a screen shot, not that you can tell that it's moving. I guess you'll have to trust me on it if you don't have Beryl installed :)
[Edit 2] I guess I should give credit to FLCL episode 1 for modeling for my screen shot. My stats are on page 5 of this thread if anyone is curious

[K.Mandla]

Is arch that fast?
Yup.


I read a review of 6.10 in some Linux magazine (Linux User or something maybe) and the guy said it booted for him in 20 seconds. Mine takes 45 secs (not counting the time to type my username and password) from grub to desktop and I have a 2.4ghz athlon x2. Technically that should trump your laptop (not that I'm dissing on your laptop - I'm sure it's very nice). I have no idea what that review was using buy my setup ain't no dog.
No offense taken. I know my machine is a dog, but still ... my 300Mhz Pentium II is booting Grub to desktop 6 seconds faster than your 2.4Ghz. :mrgreen:

The thing is, a server install of 6.10 boots on this in about 1:10, without any special tricks or tweaks. A base installation of Arch on the same machine will boot in less than 45 seconds without tricks or tweaks.

If I only use Openbox and tweak everything short of recompiling, I can trim Ubuntu's boot down to around 61 seconds at best. But with Arch and even fewer tweaks, I can knock it down to about 36.75 seconds (Timex method ;) ).

It's not that Ubuntu is necessarily bloated, it's just that Arch starts with nothing, and you build up from there. So there's no added weight. For what I've seen, Arch also gives you better control over the initial booting phases, and you can carve out unnecessary things that you don't need or don't want. (And there's that whole precompiled for i686 thing. :roll: )

So if you know your hardware, you can win back a lot of speed. It's worth looking in to.I'm sure if you could get your machine running with Arch, you'd probably boot in less than half the time it takes me.

Pretty simple desktop here; no flashy stuff to get in the way, nothing YouTube worthy. Heck, when I use OS X, I use a machine that has the UNO theme installed and I run ShadowKiller. :)

Here's my current KDE desktop:

Style/Theme: QtCurve with a custom Dull Glass look (available at http://kde-look.org)
Window decoration: Crystal, Knifty buttons, custom colorscheme and overlays
Icons: the once-nearly-ubiquitous nuoveXT. They remind me of NeXT icons. Judging by the name, I guess that was the intent. :)
Colorscheme: Inspired by Aqua Graphite, UNO (http://gui.interacto.net), and (don't laugh) Adobe Photoshop Elements. Really, their interface looks seriously slick.

[crimesaucer]

Well, I couldn't get used to Epiphany, so I redid my gtkrc to fit in the Firefox Default theme. I also switched to the Emerald Tru Glass engine and redid, my rusted theme. It took a while to get the Firefox tab bar's gradient to blend properly with my gtkrc's gradient but I did it and even have started on my next three gtkrc themes using the similar gradient style. I like how I got the whole browser to feel round and smooth.

when i first moved from massachusetts to north carolina, i knew i was going to have to do something about my snake phobia (i've even fainted just because people were talking about them). i've encountered quite a few snakes in the 15 years i've been living here, though not as many as i thought i would. i've even had some nice conversations with rat snakes. before i left massachusetts, i actually held someone's pet milk snake (it felt like a ***** with a brain). i guess that's the bravest i've ever been about it, but this desktop comes close, if only i had the nerve to close my browser.

[crimesaucer]

I decided my orange/brown Emerald tru glass theme wasn't going as well with my new gtkrc/default Firefox gradient theme, so I redid my Emerald tru glass theme to a blackish charcoal-orange, and then redid my gtkrc to match:

I'm starting to get sick of my usual. I've centered around Milky themes ever since I got Breezy way back last spring. AlphaCube, Milke etc.. I also typically use some sort of blue backdrop. Very minimal. Now, I'm playing with black themes.. Which would you guys pick?

Darker Theme GTK and VistaButRounded Meta? or Blackened-Gray with Clearlooks Meta?

It's a toss up to me.. Either way, it's a refreshing change.

It is the current svn version of fluxbox with the toolbar set to autohide, gkrellm minimized, and a quick "fbsetroot -solid black" for good measure. ;) I have a script running that randomly rotates the wallpaper every five minutes (I have over 50,000). Actually, the script changed the background about two seconds after I took that screenshot. :lol:

Wow that might even outnumber Fuscia's collection.
I probably have a dozen or two I am new at it.

Since after months of trials I've been able to install Beryl again, with AIGLX this time (after realising my graphics card was not a Mobility Radeon 9000, but 7500... long story), I just set it up today.

It's electronic-music-oriented. I think it reflects my musical tastes :)

I just wonder if there's a way to manage multiple desktops better... I can see all the open applications from all the workspaces in my taskbar, and if I put the pager in the panel, it doesn't work properly... a bit annoying that...
