    July 2008 Desktop Screenshot thread

    Rules:
    1. Forum guidelines on content apply. In other words, safe for kids and safe for work.
    2. Try not to quote embedded images; take a moment to snip them out.
    3. Off-topic posts will be edited or moved.
    4. Thumbnail your image, or use the forum's attachment system. Full-size embedded images are annoying and will be snipped mercilessly.
    5. Take a moment and tell everyone the details of your desktop, such as the theme name, the wallpaper name, the icons and any programs you're using in the image.
    Enjoy!

    This is mine:

    Wallpaper - A classic vista aurora... I will post if needed because I don't remember where I got it from.

    Emerald - Kore Suite, using the Kore-Glass theme and moving the buttons, as well as bolding the font.

    GTK - T-ish Brushed from gnome-look.

    Icons - Black-white 2 Style from Gnome-Look

    EDIT: Check post #8... MY UPDATED THEME IS THERE

    Sorry dude, but I think that emerald theme looks like rubbish on that gtk theme.

    Well I could not find anything else that I haven't already tried. I wanted a light theme, and by that I meant light in color. This was the best I could do, and it looks OK to me. I previously had Neutronium Gilouche as my GTK theme, which I liked. I just got tired of it being so dark. Maybe I will change it back...

    I just did and I will keep it for now. The wallpaper is the map wallpaper from Gnome-Look.

    EDIT: Actually, this is a REALLY nice combination, IMO.

    That looks better, but if you want a light setup you haven't used, I use this one on my desktop:

    gtk theme: murrinna dreamy
    icon theme: HH
    emerald: embarrassingly simple
    and the linux mint menu

    This is what it looks like:

    Hmm, that looks nice. Clean and simple. I will try that. Thanks!

    I used Aurora-Looks for my GTK theme, Frame for my Emerald theme. Frame was modified in the Emerald Theme Manager to be completely crystal clear, except for the outline.

    I don't remember where I got my wallpaper.



    I've decided that since I change my desktop frequently, I should keep this post updated.

    I am proud of this one. Borne out of an Emerald theme (Which I modified a bit.),I am most proud of that third screenshot's blur effects.



    ClearlooksCompact and a wallpaper made by ajgreeny which can be found here. Emerald theme is Fuz2Y.



    Still on ClearLooks Compact, new wallpaper and Emerald theme.



    Aurora Midnight. Lovely how my transparencies go through in here. I got the wallpaper from a big wallpaper website I lost track off. D:

    I tried to make a manageable "darker" theme that ended up going mostly gray on me. All the backgrounds were found on interfacelift.com. I really love the icon set, thanks much to the developer.

    GTK Theme: Schwermetall
    Icons: Black-white 2 style

    I can put up the wallpapers too if requested.
