[phrostbyte]

My Gnome session is just the Dust theme that comes with Ubuntu, Liberation fonts (ttf-liberation (apt:ttf-liberation)), and a wood wallpaper you can find in Google for searching for "wood background" or something or another.

Here is a screenshot of a UI experiment. Openbox + xcompmgr + Gnome-Do. And nothing else. :)

I'm Dr. Henry Killinger:
hell no
I'm Dr. Henry Killinger:
I want to get some work done
I'm Dr. Henry Killinger:
but I'm having my usual trouble focussing
I'm Dr. Henry Killinger:

I'm Dr. Henry Killinger:
I've optimised it so much for multi-tasking, it's sort of an excuse in itself to achieve absolutely nothing

Way to continue a bad tradition (Making thread before the month has come), but stop a good one (Adjective-Month Screen Thread).

As it's the start of a new year looks like it'll be a good time to recap.

Very nice, I love the holiday theme setup!

[tacantara]

I set aside my Tux "Merry Christmas" wallpaper to implement a really sharp (IMO) wallpaper designed by phillychease.

Other desktop stats:

Dock: AWN 0.4 (launcher in the middle is home made, to run a Bash script that will force close a misbehaving application - replaces the applet available when using the GNOME panels).

Window Dressing: Compiz/Emerald Theme Manager running a Windows Vista/7-style window dressing. The icon and program windows appearance theme is a customized version of the Mac4Lin theme (from GNOMElook.org).

Desktop font: Vibrocentric

[jordanmthomas]

Happy GNU year!

[xuCGC002]

GTK: Ubuntu Studio
Icons: Ubuntu Studio
Metacity: Dust
Wallpaper: [link] (http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/7034/1280x1024101wallpaperzi.jpg)
Firefox: Strata Aero

I really like Studio's icons and overall black/blue theme, really fits my computer itself (as my case is black with blue LEDs).

Must have that wallpaper! Please! :)

[Mark76]

The tarball for xcompmgr-dana can be found here (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22873).

Just do the usual then run. ;)

Incidentally, I've found that xcompmgr in association with openbox gives true rgba transparency to terminals that support it (in my case ROXTerm).

This is the year we make Contact.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with that phrase stuck in my head. :KS

From last month's thread:


Last one of the year for me

http://imgur.com/yA59v.jpg
Where can I get that wallpaper?
Unless I'm wrong it looks like the OSX Leopard Space wallpaper. I've seen it online in a few places but it can also be found in the Mac4Lin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/) install pack. (I think I'm seeing an image change so I may be referring to the wrong post. If I am just ignore this.)

@all:
I hope your 2010 is getting off to a fantabulous start!

[stanca]

Koleoptero and Daisuke_Aramaki,thank you at last.It wouldn't allow me anyway too much.;):):P

I'd put up a screen, because I'm really happy with my desktop, but whenever I try to use Take Screenshot or KSnapshot, All I get is the KDE Air wallpaper. I'm using Ubuntu in virtualbox, btw, windows XP host.

[benerivo]

You just get the wallpaper and absolutely nothing else you have opened? I'd try installing kgrab which is a fork of ksnapshot. It may have something to do with virtualbox if you are running it in 'seamless mode' but i'm not sure.

why don't you try scrot and take a shot from the command line?

Go to its preferences (click on it then on the preferences icon that shows on its top right) and change the theme to white (one of them is white) and set its transparency to 70% or 80%. :)

Well I'm not really going for uniqueness. But the icons are black, the only thing that's blue is the progressbar and the selected items and that's really dark so I don't know what it might remind you lol. Brown would look good on them too (dark brown) but I prefer it as it is.

This may seem a little immature, but I was wondering that with what choices of GUI and how easy we can customize them, what people currently have their desktops like. So, as per say, this is a desktop screen shot thread.

There's no reason you can't have both Gnome and Xfce installed. Hell, I used to run bits and pieces of both, due to some major problems I used to have with nautilus and Gnome's settings dialogues.

how exactly do you get that look? I installed the unified theme and my desktop looks nothing like yours -- the gtk elements almost white, my window borders look different, etc.

which icon theme are you using?

[etnlIcarus]

your destops still look nice, but what about changing someting now ?
like putting in one (or 2) stacks your conky monitor on the left or right of your conky news widget for ex.
that might sace some space on your desk.
I'm not sure I catch your drift. The stats are where they are so that they're still visible, even when maximising a window. If I put my stats to the side, I'd either have to make the text vertical (which I doubt is even possible with conky, let alone desirable), or have the stats hidden by maximised windows.

The theme is unified (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Unified1.0?content=109391). The colour scheme is custom. I attach a screenshot of the colours, use the eye picker to get them. I use the smooth unity GTK and non-glossy unified metacity.

The icons are gnome-black (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Black-Gnome?content=110418) although I've used some for AWN from the iconset allblack (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ALLBLACK?content=70630) and a custom icon I made for chromium cause I couldn't find one. (also attached)
The fonts are segoe ui demibold size 9.
The wall from somewhere earlier in this thread.
And the ring sensors on the desktop with transparent background and completely opaque black colours for text and foreground.
the AWN theme is ridiculously customized, I'll try to attach it too.
EDIT:The terminal colours you can also get with the picker and the font is courier 10 pitch size 9. I've also disabled the menu and the scrollbar.
That's about it I can think of no other useful detail, ask away if you need anything else. :)

PS: Install the icon themes first then the theme for awn and it should show most launchers already customized.

i like it. May be a thinner, apt metacity would go well. Why isn't your Desktop icon on the side pane being picked up from your icon theme?

I always generate a thumbnail and upload it to omploader as well. And then simply post the thumbnail here and link the full size image over at omp.

[Mark76]

There must be some alternative to omploader that isn't imageshack or photothing that allows me to have all the image files on one page so I can just copy the links without having to constantly go back and download the pictures.

ITP I showcase Opera 10.5 pre-alpha, and it's many quirks

http://omploader.org/tMzVrbA (http://omploader.org/vMzVrbA)

Opera is using it's own toolkit ('Quick') now to emulate gtk/qt instead of being qt itself. This is similiar to how firefox (with xul) and openoffice does as well. Atm it isn't working too well as you can see (and it was more or less fine with stable using qt). Menu are especially bad, it doesn't pick up highlight colours. There's also motion blur on the scrollbar! :O, but at least it actually trying now...

http://omploader.org/tMzVrbQ (http://omploader.org/vMzVrbQ)

The fonts are light and blurry, as are the speed dial thumbnails. =/ another bug I suppose.

All said though, Opera will be interesting to watch. It's *fast* (some benchmarks show it beats chrome - google it), and has got a few gui improvements, like with the location bar. But still highly unstable - randomly goes up to 100% cpu and I need to kill the browser, sometimes it doesn't redraw itself etc

btw: What's the fuss with omploader? I just copy the bbcode it gives you and paste it here. It turns out fine as you can see..

Go to its preferences (click on it then on the preferences icon that shows on its top right) and change the theme to white (one of them is white) and set its transparency to 70% or 80%. :)

Take a rest perhaps? Let some theme mature before taking a screenshot? :lolflag:
