My boring PCLinuxOS 2007 desktop. Everything is default (except for pidgin on the panel and i changed the font to arial.)

Just Kubuntu

This is one of the nicest KDE desktops I've ever seen.

Decided to check out compiz after another year-or-so's development. It's still an absolute pain in the **** to configure but it has had some performance and reliability gains. My graphics card is showing it's age, though. Need moar filtering.

Also spent the morning porting Xfwm4's Rele theme to Emerald's Legacy engine, which I'm relatively happy with. God, most emerald themes are fugly.

that however, is most definitely not! Could you post your skydome image? Would probs look good as a wallpaper?

Um? I don't have a skydome. It's one of the plugins that comes with either fusion-plugins-extra or fusion-plugins-main. Think it's called, "Cube Reflection".

The wallpaper is springwood from Digital Blasphemy. If you give me your screen res, I'm sure I could send it to you.

----------------------------------------

Also, since other people here use compiz, would anyone been able to explain to me if it's possible to change on which borders you can resize an emerald window?

I like using my scrollwheel to shade windows but half the time I try to do it, it doesn't work because my mouse pointer is too close to the top edge of the window frame and when the mouse pointer turns into the little up-arrow, indicating that you can resize the window, it prevents the mousewheel from having any effect.

With Xfwm4, you could resize a window starting from any edge *other* than the top one, presumably to prevent this issue.

Edit: It's also annoying that I accidentally resize a window whenever I try to simply bloody move it.

Thanks

I should have been a bit more verbose: It's Kubuntu Intrepid, which has the most current KDE 4.1 beta.

Kubuntu 8.10 is really going to rock
