November 2007 Desktops (Safe for work ONLY) - Please include theme details.

[MicroChris]

can you post your .conkyrc config? I have a very simillar one (probably derived from the same) but I like some things in yours! very nice desktop.

Thanks. Here's the conkyrc. I literally JUST removed the bit at the top that said Ubuntu 7.10, with the uptime in and the time/date. I found a Gdesklet clock I really liked, but I should've backed it up. I can probably replicate it. *EDIT* -- FIXED and edited back to original state.

Sorry for the double post, but I fixed the conkyrc back to it's original state if anyone wants to re-copy it.

Hmm, your date seems stretched on Conky. Try changing the letters on the DATE line from lower to uppercase and vice versa. Unless of course you want it that way

Other than that, cool desktop.

yea, i just got that worked out

that was the main reason i wanted to change the conky setup to have date and time, because i never used the thingambob in the upper taskbar that has the calendar anyway, it was taking up space!

misfitpierce and vishzilla, you guys did a kind of 'one, two, punch' in the catagory of 'stuff you don't see everyday' with your wallpapers. nice matchup, both of you with the themes, as well. that's fun stuff, guys.

[fuscia]

Can we see what the wallpaper looks like? Or is this a teaser only?

it works best as a teaser, which makes it so good for typical use (one, or two unmaximized windows open). it's great, peripherally.
