September 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!

Here is me running WinXP and Ubuntu at the same time, with WinXP on one side of the Compiz cube:

I am not sure where the wallpaper is, but I got it from gnome-look.org
The theme is the standard emerald theme.

Virtual box right?

If virtual boxes could do games, it'd be the best thing ever.

Thumbs down Re: September 2008 Desktop Screenshot Thread

A question I didn't arrive on time to answer, from the last month's screenshots thread:

Basically, all you'd have to do is find the section saying:

Code:
style "clearlooks-menubar"
{
	bg[SELECTED] = @selected_bg_color
	bg[NORMAL]   = "#3C3C3C"
	bg[PRELIGHT] = @selected_bg_color
	bg[ACTIVE]   = "#333333"
	bg[INSENSITIVE] = "#3C3C3C"
	fg[NORMAL]   = "#D4D4D4"
	fg[PRELIGHT] = @selected_fg_color
	fg[SELECTED] = @selected_fg_color
	fg[ACTIVE]   = @selected_fg_color
	fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#666666"
	text[NORMAL]   = @text_color
	text[PRELIGHT] = lighter (@selected_bg_color)
	text[SELECTED] = lighter (@selected_bg_color)
	text[ACTIVE]   = lighter (@selected_bg_color)
	text[INSENSITIVE] = "#666666"
	
	engine "clearlooks"
	{
		hint	= "menubar"
		radius	= 2.0
	}
}
And replace it by:

Code:
style "clearlooks-menubar"
{
	engine "clearlooks"
	{
		hint	= "menubar"
		radius	= 2.0
	}
}
Then it SHOULD work. I didn't test that yet, though. I might publish a version of ClearGlow with normal menubars after I test it and if I find it works, aesthetically speaking. Let me know if my suggestion worked, too.
