January 2006 Desktop Thread

[PatrickMay16]

I decided to start the thread for this month. Heh heh.

Just today I themed out my desktop to look very dark. Here's the link:

Xubuntu, with Human GTK+ theme, and "gelly" as the XFWM4 window decoration. I got the wallpaper from the Xubuntu Art Wiki.

Come February, it will look better. I'm about to switch to a modern computer which can handle a nice-looking desktop.

PatrickMay16: I like the dark theme.

Somehow, that reminds me of a Win98 desktop.... *wonders why* Nice bg, though :)

This is mine - same bg as I added on New Year's Eve, but I've been fiddling around with panels, desklets etc.

[Wallakoala]

My desktop used to look cool, but my HD got erased (long story, involves windows) and now I have the default human theme with the default background.

Are there any good websites besides for www.gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org that you can get some good themes and wallpapers?

can someone pleas explain the appeal of gnustep to me, i just dont get it. Is it mainly just for old machines because it looks like a stripped down version of flux/black box.

[darkmatter]

Technically, GNUstep isn't a desktop... it is an application development framework... based on the OpenStep specification created by NeXT (now Apple Computers)... It is a 'sibling' of Cocoa, one could say... It's not aimed at older machines as such... though it runs blazingly fast on them... its aimed more towards application developers who like the OpenStep spec...

What makes GNUstep so appealing, IMHO, is that it has the highest flexibility to power ratio I have ever seen in any environment. Also the fact that it has the most intuitive and elegant interface ever designed... (once again, my opinion... but one shared by many others)

[taseal]

GNUstep looks like windows 4.2 lol

[darkmatter]

Not with Camaelon/Nesedah enabled ;)

[somuchfortheafter]

oooook so is there a screenshot of gnustep that I seem to be unable to find that makes it look like a desktop designed after 2000?

[DaMasta]

No, but since when is a ton of eye candy necessary? Wmaker is fast and simple. If you don't need or want anything more, it's perfect.

If you insist... though it's not about eye candy

There's more... but I'd prefer to get back on topic ;)

[IYY]

Here's my current desktop: http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/2422/screenshot1vm.png

The machine is a 333 MHz Celeron, so it requires the lightest software. It's Breezy, running Fluxbox and Konqueror. The terminal is aterm. The wallpaper is this (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=14940).

Dockapps are: wmbutton, wmxmms, wmwave, wmmount, wmmemload, wmclockmon, wmcpuload and wmtop (all installed via apt-get).

The fluxbox theme is Cthulhain.

The KDE theme used by Konqueror is Black and White (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=24645).

[equal]

A very minimalistic GNOME. I don't like anything obscuring my wallpaper.

With referrence to your desktop picture: would that be Stormfront as in the White Nationalist group (http://www.stormfront.org) started by former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black? The same man who runs JewWatch.com (http://www.jewwatch.com)?
But hey, let's give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you were referring to the Billy Joel album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Front), even though you used the image from the other site.

Pretty stright forward other than the ish rounded windows and sigelOS-blue-xmms skin but al together looks real sweet. I personaly would like to see something like this for the Ubuntu defailt gnome theme

My screenshots keep getting bigger ;) In light of my acquisition of a bigger monitor (21" IBM flat CRT), I've increased my resolution to 1600x1200. Needless to say, this probably isn't for dialup users.

It's fairly simple. Standard Gnome, but using Openbox as the window manager (thanks to stormy eyes for the tutorial). I've themed with with a theme called "Water Vapor", and then I used a similar looking theme from the openbox themes pack for the WM, called "Curdled". I've also changed my login screen and splash image. My Beep skin is a Winamp skin, called "WinShady". I thought it looked pretty cool. I'm still on the lookout for a silver skin to match the rest of my theme.

I changed my desktop around completely. I mean completely. So I'm posting a new one. I got my nice new computer built, and am using full GNOME+Metacity along with gdesklets. The gtk+ theme is Human, the window decoration is Clearlooks2, the backdrop is called "Ages" and is available on the GNOME-look website or through the GNOME Art Manager. Enjoy!

Actually i used a small hack;) , since i was unhappy with the "lack" of stuff in Gnome ART/LOOK , i searched the net for windows icons who look like Mac OS X , changed the extension from .ico to .png , placed them in /usr/share/pixmaps , and applyed them using the option custom icon .

It defeats the whole purpose of drag and drop..

You can get e17 from CVS. Sometimes the CVS files dont compile as they should, so from time to time keep checking and you should be able to get a good batch.
ANd if you do get a good batch to fully compile.. dont loose them :)

That doesn't work when you have theme packs with 2, 3, 4, 16 versions. Wha? You expect me to make that many submissions. The first thing said would be...."one package containing all, would have sufficed". Drag and drop is nice for themes but since the theme capplet was broke for years, I just developed a habbit of not wasting my time on it. Never know what goodies you'll miss ;)

You can get e17 from CVS. Sometimes the CVS files dont compile as they should, so from time to time keep checking and you should be able to get a good batch.
ANd if you do get a good batch to fully compile.. dont loose them :)
I took the plunge (I was bored at work). And with a little help from Super, I got it running pretty well. Little quirks that can be expected with anything cvs, but for the most part, it runs great.

[tseliot]

hi, can someone show me how to change the panel like that? and are there other good panels?
Right click on one of the 2 gnome panels and select "New panel".

Then you can customise the new panel.
If you want to use a menu button like mine you have to download it (one of those buttons for KBFX from kde-look.org).

Then backup the current Ubuntu logo:
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png_bak

Then replace the old logo with the KBFX button:
cd /home/your_username/folder_with_the_new_button

sudo cp name_of_the_new_button /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png

Now let's add it to the panel:
Right click on the new panel and select "Add to panel".
Select "Main Menu" and add it.

Type this to update the panels:
killall gnome-panel

Customise the rest of the new panel and remove your old panels.

If you want your Ubuntu logo back you have to type:
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png_bak /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png

thanks, tseliot that's the way i thought you might have done it, it looks better then i thought it would though. but, which theme control are you using to get the panel black and the texture you have? that's what i like the most - the texture of the panel, it's abit similar to the theme i posted afew posts back but my panel is blue. sorry if you already explianed it :(

Go to the following page http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=27033

download the file (which contains both a kbfx button and the black background for the panel)
then right click on the panel and select "Properties"
Click on "Background" and select "Background image" (use the image you got from the webpage)

enjoy!

Hi,

such a nice thread!

After scrolling though all the desktops, I decided it was finally the time to make a change to mine - postponed for too long.

My laptop now is really dark - in my opinion reading is supposed to take place green on black. ;-)

Stats:
Darker Theme with BlackmarbleMatrix window contents (Fensterinhalt) and Noia icons (both from art.gnome.org).
A little tweaking was required (Mozilla theme PitchDark, setting handicapped preferences in Adobe Reader to get black backgrounds with green fonts, changing background colors in Thunderbird with user.js+userChrome.css and, of course, a lot of icons had to be set to Noia manually).

Enjoy!

thanks, tseliot for all the help. i see why it works better with KDE now, but i am using a new start button. it looks so good with KDE it makes me tempted to try it but i prefer gnome so i'll just have to be jealous instead :mad:

I have an icon theme that i really like, but for some reason it has no set icon for a python file (there might be more). This really bothers me because I like the little icon of the python. It's weird because it still has the right picture for a c++ file. If anyone can help me I would like to still be using these icons, but I want to have the python file still be the default icon set.

The icon set i am using is unofficial tango.

I use the properties dialog, but the clock and the apps menu and a few of the icons always retain the system colour as a background, ie they are never transperant.

When I just logged in it said my last login time was less than a minute ago when in fact it had been quite a while. This may have to do with their recent hardware failure. The database are screwed up probaly. Check your time readout on the Ubuntu forums, mine 8:40 pm or something when in fact it was suppose to say 4:00 pm or so. Thanks for the icon address.

I'm playing around with Ubuntu, and I have a very simple setup -- but I like it that way.

I have a double-row window bar just because I like to see the list of all windows on all desktops, and it's great to have some space to actually see the names. The gear on the side is a starter for gnome-launch-box, even though I also have a key combo for it.

The wallpaper is named fz_demo_ship_01.JPG and found on conceptart.org, but I can't find a direct link right now :-(
Yeah, I use a Vista theme but without composition/transparency; I really like the design of the widgets.

And my window bar is without the bevel buttons -- I really loved how I got rid of those, that made the panel look too busy.

yeah i seen that one after i installed the one in the original post first, it seems to be working fine though.

[Orunitia]

Yeah I installed the deb and it worked good. I'm not really a fan of the "fake" transparencies though, so I installed something else.

can someone pleas explain the appeal of gnustep to me, i just dont get it. Is it mainly just for old machines because it looks like a stripped down version of flux/black box.
the appeal to me was that i used OpenStep a while back and it was cool to use windowmaker again

it is a very intuitive design and is incredibly functional. i like it a lot, but im using XFCE now since ive been trying lots of stuff out recently

A very minimalistic GNOME. I don't like anything obscuring my wallpaper.

I noticed as well, but I'm tired of crusading against human stupidity. There at least 5 billion stupid humans, and only one of me. This ain't a Jmovie, and one man isn't going to make a difference.

I swore off the long pig when I got engaged. I didn't want my wife to spend her days wondering if I was trying to fatten her up every time I made a nice meal.

I need to get in on this. I styled my GNOME desktop last week and here it is. Very blue and OSX like I know... I also have moved the desktop switcher left next to the GNOME menu.
