Nifty November 2009 Screenshot Thread (Thumbnails only please)

[hyperdude111]

Well it's not November where I am but it is for New Zealand and parts of Russia so I thought I'd make this thread


Rules:

1. Stay within the board rules, no matter how hot you may believe the wallpaper/screen shot to be.
2. If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.
3. Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.
4. The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post explicit or suggestive, and provocative images (they must be safe for your kids and/or boss to see). Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.
5. The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Rule set.
6. Please use reduced-size thumbnails, where possible, out of respect for people running on lower bandwidth or screen resolutions.
7. To avoid having users having to ask you for them. we request that you format your posts in the following order:

Themes: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Important Note: Any image posted that is over 800 x 600 will be removed! Use a thumbnail or use a text link to your image. If your image is removed, this is why.

The icons are iKon (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/803597/iKon_2.tar.gz) (thanks to lzfy). The wallpaper is from fiftyfootshadows.net here (http://fiftyfootshadows.net/2009/07/27/deposit-box/). The widgets and decorations are bespin and the plasma theme is Atelier.

Lithium is getting some more teeny tweaks; I'm trying to figure how to get that nice 1px border on the Nautilus sidebar without getting it on panel applet handles. Pain in the bum.

I GOT MY WOBBLY WINDOWS BACK!!! Woo-hoooo!

I've been a bit lonely without them since I switched to Crunchbang Lite, but I've switched now from Openbox to Compiz standalone, and I love it...It's all my eye-candy without clunky Gnome behind it :D

Anyway, here's what my desktop looks like now...

GTK: Espresso
Windows: Dark Roast Emerald Theme
Icons: Gnome Dust

Stock KDE wallpaper (I think?) and the same ol' Conky.

I'm also running Compiz-Deskmenu...I got used to the right-click menu in Openbox :)

Only thing I don't like is that it seems to be a bit buggy with Chromium...Sometimes it starts flashing randomly :S And why hasn't it got a shadow?!

Playing around with Lithium at the moment. For some reason I just can't QUITE get it to all fit together right, not sure why. But it's a hell of a theme regardless, I just need to get it all together.

And my Conky Widgets script:

--[[
Conky Widgets by londonali1010 (2009)

This script is meant to be a "shell" to hold a suite of widgets for use in Conky.

To configure:
+ Copy the widget's code block (will be framed by --(( WIDGET NAME )) and --(( END WIDGET NAME )), with "[" instead of "(") somewhere between "require 'cairo'" and "function conky_widgets()", ensuring not to paste into another widget's code block
+ To call the widget, add the following just before the last "end" of the entire script:
cr = cairo_create(cs)
NAME_OF_FUNCTION(cr, OPTIONS)
cairo_destroy(cr)
+ Replace OPTIONS with the options for your widget (should be specified in the widget's code block)

Call this script in Conky using the following before TEXT (assuming you save this script to ~/scripts/conky_widgets.lua):
lua_load ~/scripts/conky_widgets.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre widgets

+ v1.0 -- Original release (17.10.2009)

Looks great.

Lithium is getting some more teeny tweaks; I'm trying to figure how to get that nice 1px border on the Nautilus sidebar without getting it on panel applet handles. Pain in the bum.

Nice setup, S&M :)

Do you know if anyone's ported Token icons to a Gnome icon theme?

[JECHO]

first one for November :)

[BenAshton24]

Decided to keep things simple this month :)

Just finished hacking the "notify-osd" source so that I can use my custom fonts. It really irritates me how I have to go to this extent just to change the font; something which should be configurable anyway. One of the things that makes Linux so awesome is that you can configure almost anything you want, so it strikes me as odd that making notify-osd configurable isn't top priority.

Also there appears to be a bug (not caused by me... It was like that before :P) because the bubble is oddly low on the screen (see screenshot)

--[[
Conky Widgets by londonali1010 (2009)

This script is meant to be a "shell" to hold a suite of widgets for use in Conky.

To configure:
+ Copy the widget's code block (will be framed by --(( WIDGET NAME )) and --(( END WIDGET NAME )), with "[" instead of "(") somewhere between "require 'cairo'" and "function conky_widgets()", ensuring not to paste into another widget's code block
+ To call the widget, add the following just before the last "end" of the entire script:
cr = cairo_create(cs)
NAME_OF_FUNCTION(cr, OPTIONS)
cairo_destroy(cr)
+ Replace OPTIONS with the options for your widget (should be specified in the widget's code block)

Call this script in Conky using the following before TEXT (assuming you save this script to ~/scripts/conky_widgets.lua):
lua_load ~/scripts/conky_widgets.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre widgets

This is a repost of my last October setup.

http://omploader.org/vMm50OA (http://omploader.org/vMm50Nw)

The icons are iKon (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/803597/iKon_2.tar.gz) (thanks to lzfy). The wallpaper is from fiftyfootshadows.net here (http://fiftyfootshadows.net/2009/07/27/deposit-box/). The widgets and decorations are bespin and the plasma theme is Atelier.

This might be a stupid question, but how'd you get the vertical task manager to only show icons (and not text)?

You might be asking of the appli,places,sys those text ?
You can do that by removing MENU BAR and put MAIN MENU by right clicking the taskbar and go to "add to panels" option?

Press alt+F1 to get "Main Menu" (keyboard shortcut!) :)

[the fix it man]

Decided to keep things simple this month :)

Just finished hacking the "notify-osd" source so that I can use my custom fonts. It really irritates me how I have to go to this extent just to change the font; something which should be configurable anyway. One of the things that makes Linux so awesome is that you can configure almost anything you want, so it strikes me as odd that making notify-osd configurable isn't top priority.

Also there appears to be a bug (not caused by me... It was like that before :P) because the bubble is oddly low on the screen (see screenshot)

I love that background.

You say you remove unnecessary junk then claim it isn't bloated. I hope you realize this sounds silly. Also, 92.8 MB RAM used on startup isn't great. I use 77 even after starting firefox.

Thank you both! :D The colors match perfectly with my curtains and bedding as well. I should also mention that I use the firefox personas theme named "Abstract splash", which is black, white and red.

Firefox - 9.2% .. From what ( total memory or the one that's currently in use ) ? Regardless of what's the answer, I still can't stop wondering about how you did it - last time when I had Awesome installed ( Minimal CD ), the average memory usage was 120 ( including Firefox ).
Eh .. live and learn! If it's not a secret, what exactly you are running ? X.org, Awesome, Firefox .. is there anything else that runs in background ?

Nothing too special, just installed/used. I usually have mpd running which adds about 5 MB, but with it being a fresh install I have no music and no mpd installed.

Back when I used awesome 2.4 I could start X w/mpd running and be using 28 MB RAM. Of course, at that time I had put a lot of work into making things light.

edit:
also I'm fairly sure the 9.2% means of total available physical memory (I don't have much)

Tried to do a big more with Conky this month. Turns out an orangish background is tough to work with, on whether the text should be black/dark or white/light.

Does anyone know of conky working with rtorrent, mutt, and/or mocp? Just curious since they are terminal based. I don't know jack to write any sort of script or interface myself.

Crunchbang 9.04.

[Edit]

Well, the mocp was easy to figure out once i did some googling. It's nothing fancy, but it works. As for mutt, I assume i'd be able to just use some sort of gmail script and that would work just as well.

The tough one seems to be rtorrent. I found some documentation for it, but it seems to be a fairly difficult process to a novice like myself.

<snip>
I don't ever look at window titles either and I have a compulsive desire to just get rid of window decorations completely (I even have a shortcut set up to disable them for the active window). They're mostly just wasted space as far as I'm concerned. However, having the title bar on the side seems much nicer. About bespin, it definitely doesn't have the most intuitive configuration.

@Muppeteer, could you link that wallpaper, please?

Learning to have some fun with Conky - I haven't used it in a long time and there's a lot to learn, so I'm just tweaking the conky widget scripts to see what I can do at this point - I pretty much stole everything here.

The half-circles are a calendar (decoded in the second screenshot). It's not very useful but I usually know what day it is anyway. I have one sitting on my windowsill that works the same way, except with beads.

Otherwise, stock Karmic themes except for a 1px metacity border that I also stole. This is kind of a work in progress - I don't like the Human gtk without the Human metacity.

Wallpaper: Default Xubuntu
Xfwm: Shiki
Icons: Eikon

Personally, the gtk seems to be missing something, dark menus are nice, coloured scrollbars are nice, but the frameis just plain ol grey. :( Otherwise it'll really be a darn good theme. I'm also trying to avoid using my two stables (Elegant Brit and friends, or Kupo Finale..)

Also, does anyone know where to get the Xubuntu Jaunty,...errm blue forest wallpaper? I remember it using used in places for promotion,but Xubuntu Jaunty wallpaper was the blue mouse background. Thanks.

I GOT MY WOBBLY WINDOWS BACK!!! Woo-hoooo!

I've been a bit lonely without them since I switched to Crunchbang Lite, but I've switched now from Openbox to Compiz standalone, and I love it...It's all my eye-candy without clunky Gnome behind it :D

Anyway, here's what my desktop looks like now...

GTK: Espresso
Windows: Dark Roast Emerald Theme
Icons: Gnome Dust

Stock KDE wallpaper (I think?) and the same ol' Conky.

I'm also running Compiz-Deskmenu...I got used to the right-click menu in Openbox :)

Only thing I don't like is that it seems to be a bit buggy with Chromium...Sometimes it starts flashing randomly :S And why hasn't it got a shadow?!

I LOVE UR DESKTOP!

Also here is mine, its pretty awesome imo.

its blue and black, my cursor is Vienna. you cant see it :(

You say you remove unnecessary junk then claim it isn't bloated. I hope you realize this sounds silly...

You're right....I shouldn't have said that on its own. I should have also said that after doing the same with Gnome, I still found that it used up more than 70 MB EXTRA, when compared to XFCE.


...Also, 92.8 MB RAM used on startup isn't great. I use 77 even after starting firefox.

Good for you, goodsir.

Anyways,this isn't the thread to be debating minimal-ness...this thread is the exact opposite.

Ya Sarai's last month was beautiful :) I just havn't figured out how to yet ;)

I tried that tonight, but alas, Compiz doesn't want to play nice with this SIS graphics chip :( So Openbox themes it is for me :) Though, I'm thinking of giving JWM a try :)
Try Fluxbox wm too;it's easier and may look better as you want.I found it much more configurable and customizable.;)

I have left both my notebook and my desktop the same default for now with the new Human theme and with Humanity icon set (which I love). But I have modded my XP install today for some reason (usually I leave it in the old classic Win style).

Theme: Watercolor Ergonomic
Icon: Tango Icon set
Wallpaper: Fallen Leaf from Internface Lift

How? :o

EDIT - Apologies for the double post :)

[Mark76]

details

The top panel is Tint2, bottom panel is the normal Xfce4 panel with a patch to give it real transparency without making the icons transparent (note: it only works with native xfce4 panel transparency set to 0), Xfwm theme is Leopardish and the GTK theme is Aurora Leopard BSM

Espresso uses the Murrine theme engine, which should be installed by default on Karmic.

I agree..That's one of the things I didn't like about KDE! It's alright if you have a big screen where nothing's maximised, but on a tiny screen like mine, it's a little weird when you have a maximised, opaque window butted up against a glossy, transparent panel :( I solved it by running Compiz/Emerald in KDE and creating an Emerald theme to match my plasmoids, but it still just wasn't quite right...

I disagree with you both, the desktop is no longer a special folder for me, why should it look like my window manager? I rather like the clear distinction between the shell and my applications, when I could be running plasma themes like atelier or aya, that inherit my color scheme.

It's called inconsistancy. If you really feel like that, why not just make the entire window black and the Plasmoids white. That's a clear distiction.

One could just as easily ask you why you don't just make everything the same color, including the text, if you're concerned about inconsistency, but then that person might be accused of engaging in hyperbole.

Staying consistant just means staying on the same track. Don't go off and work on your Math and then end up with English.

[narf41]

i agree with islington...stylistic inconsistency is a type of style...
for example you have a room with just white modern square furniture, so you can use an old cupboard as a highlight
or you have all windows in the same look, but your desk style has a complete other style

That bar uses like 10mb of ram, conky would use 1! Meh.

First two are my Xubuntu desktop in black, second pair is my current ROX desktop.

I can't help but keep things simple. Tried adding a conky, but that failed (don't ask why, it's not conky's fault). Tried using a panel but it takes up too much room to look good. Tried some other themes, but only this looks good enough (and shiki, but I like the way nautilus looks like in new wave). So here you go.

Clean:

I used photobucket cause I had an account there, but it seems like it sucks a bit.

Nice KDE desktops here. I will post mine too when I'm home later today to mouth water the GNOME people (j/k, but you will still mouth water):p

The nicest looking gnome desktop I've seen so far is ElSlunko's screeny.

What people get by flaming like this?

Why can't everybody let people use whatever they like/want?

Are you referring to me? I'm not flaming... not consciously choosing to flame anyway... just giving feedback on what I see...

Yes.

"Nice KDE desktops here" is feedback, but "to mouth water the GNOME people" sounds like flaming. Nevermind, it was not conscious as you said.

I'm sure it looks very nice, but I have yet to see a single KDE desk that makes me want to switch to it.

[motang]

Yesterday re-installed on my notebook and decided to give Xubuntu 9.10 a try and I am loving it.

Theme: Human-Danilo
Window Border: Luna blue (emerald)
Icon: Xubuntu Elementry (which I love)
Wallpaper: Fallen leaf from Interfacelift

I think the Xubuntu team has done an excellent job, and I will be using Xubuntu on my desktop from now on! :D

I think you misunderstand why we post screenshots.

So Tipped ouT must be trying to make us switch to windows right? :D

Or make us install crappy OS X clones.

You know I actually nearly fell for that. But I prefer my classic gnome setup.

Because it's an addiction :D

I think I managed to figure out the best Windows 7 setup for me. :)

Mmm .. love it :) What's on the top of your screen ( some kind of panel ) ?

It's Rainmeter. That's also what's on the side of the screen.

True, they're not consistant, but perhaps the better point is that they don't have to be....This whole thread is a thing of personal preference. Half my setups aren't consistant, but to me they look good. I like how his looked, it works well in my opinion. Windows should be bold, outstanding. Panels should be blend into the background. You're never going to do any work on them, so you don't have to concentrate on them. So they can blend :)



Epic! Thank you so much mate :) It definately feels faster than OpenBox, but after a few days of tweaking, I have yet to get it looking as good. Will Conky and Tint2 work on Flux?

EDIT: I see from your vid that conky will work. Mate, thats a beautiful desktop :)
For conky to work properly in fluxbox with xcompmgr you need to edit a little in the .conkyrc file:replace "own_window_type override" with "own_window_type desktop".
Anything else anytime.;)
Here's now:

Will give it a try - thanks :)

Thanks, though I'm not happy with the icons right now. They're great icons, but I just don't feel they fit in with the rest of it.
