That's a nice desktop font you have.

[K.Mandla]

That's a nice desktop font you have.
It's calibri, I think. It comes with the clearlooks for windows package, along with Segoe UI. I'm guessing they're distributable.

Here goes the best set I have found. It is called exquisite, and it is located on gnome-look.org. To install them download them then go to System-->Preferences-->Themes. Click on the Install New Themes button and then navigate to where you downloaded the icon pack. Select the icon pack and hit OK. Then all you have to do is select the Theme Details button, click on the Icons tab and select exquiste and close the themes box. You will then have it installed.

Not sure if you mean me, but if you did: It's a wallpaper that comes with Windows Vista, just do a search on Google for "windows vista wallpapers" and you should find it immediately.

Is it intentional, or co-incidental that the graphs in the top panel go nicely with the skyscraper wallpaper?
coincidental would be the correct term... lol

i hadn't even noticed until you said that.. cool

[eMuNiX]

co-incedental would be the correct term... lol

co·in·ci·den·tal ( P ) Pronunciation Key (k-ns-dntl)
adj.
1. Occurring as or resulting from coincidence.
2. Happening or existing at the same time.

yeah it resulted from coincidence... what was the cough for?

[eMuNiX]

Because you spelt it co-incedental in response to co-incidental, which has the right letters but shouldn't have the hyphen either.

[YourSurrogateGod]

Ok, this has become somewhat annoying with time and I feel that it needs to be said.

People, please stop posting ridiculously large pictures. First of all, you're breaking the format of the forum (which is annoying.) And secondly, more importantly, not everyone out there has a high-speed connection (especially if they live outside of US, western Europe, Japan, SK, Taiwan and Hong Kong, you get the idea.) This can be extremely annoying if you're from such a country (say in some 3rd world country), don't have the bandwith to waste simply because someone uploaded a 1280x1024 picture. It wouldn't hurt to either have a smaller pic (which can lead to a larger pic), or simply leaving the url to a pic as it is, without the need to hotlink it.

As some of you might know, I'm from the states and I do have a fast connection, but I do remember the days when I had to go online using a phone line (not pleasant) and I can only imagine the pain/annoyance some have to go through just to have a section of the forums download, especially if there are 20+ 1280x1024 images hotlinked.

I'm not picking on anyone here (not my intent), but it would help alot if there was consideration for others that don't have very fast connections instilled into the posts that some of us make. This way the forum experience would be least painful for those members on a 56k connection and encourage people to come back here. The more people come back, the more participate, the more input that we get.

Thank you.

A thumbnail being 400kb? Is there a new image format that I have not heard of?

Anyways 220kb jpeg, even though you might not think is alot to a 56k, it has to load all the avatars, the other peoples thumbnails, all the words, plus your 220kb jpeg, dont forget the smileys. :|

Edit: I looked at it, it says 2.45kb(the thumbnail)???????????????

Yeah... they went to far... had an older/ less glossy version... but deleted it prematurely when I found the new build :( But its still better than the default Human theme... which doesn't go well with anything IMHO

It's only temporary... I'm going to mod the tangofied gnome folders from cvs to that orange/white scheme with a softer look... also coing to lighten the comp/monitor/network icons a tad... slap it together with the older tango actions (the new arrows are way to green (the older ones were more of an olive... much classier and the refresh was more silver/grey))

all in all.. a lot of work... but I think it will be worth it in the end

Also thinking of hacking together a Neo-GNOME

The only thing that will take time is filling in the empty spaces (the menus are horrid in there current state)

Well here is what I settled on for March (So far!!)

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=2254&original=1&c=2

Have gone for a Gnome look that's influenced by OSX. Using MCLinux Icons from gnome-look, GTK is Smooth Milk Tango, Glider for Metacity, and some personalized icons for a few apps including the computer icon. The wallpaper is courtesy of a deviantart artist.

:mrgreen:

[Randomskk]

I like your wallpaper :D
Is there a link to it?

also, cute Naruto icon :P - what does that link to?

[s_spiff]

guys, can u please post along with the screen shot, the link or name of your wallpapers, GTK+ themes, icons etc. It would be really helpful for others to cuztomize their own boxes. Besides I found some of your shots soo amazing.. that i've been hunting for the wallpapers all over the place... occassionally finding a few... :D

Nothing fancy here. Just XFCE 4.3svn on the latest Dapper. I've got GNOME 2.14 installed; they finally came out with a gnome-terminal that doesn't suck; I'm using it to upgrade my wife's machine to Dapper via SSH.

I've been using ubuntu for about a week now and I'm pretty new to linux, haven't really got everything setup yet (duel booting with Windows). Anyway it'll be interesting to look at this screen in a few months time :)

btw. is that terminal on the desktop acheived using devilspie? if so have anyone got the link to the repository for it? or at least a .deb? :)

I like the tree in the green field with the glass/frost on the left but the frost is overdone. Bummer.

Now you've done it. I was completely happy with my old wallpaper, I've been using if for over a month and that's a long time for me. But now I had to change it, and even post a new screenshot here :D

Heres mine. I've been tinkering for a while now. But i really didnt like having to compromise style with usabilty. I've just got the one side panel, designed to have minium impact when it opens. I tried a few of the gdesklets but i couldn't get any of the ones i liked to work. So its pretty much just d3a and my wallpaper, which i've been using for a while now.

Here's mine, KDE, XGL from my ATi9600:-

Here is my first desktop screenshot of KDE. It looks a lot different than before.

I was actually trying to make it look as much like a colour scheme I made and really liked in Windows 2000, before I installed Ubuntu and ended up using it all the time. I missed that colour scheme so much, and I was so happy that KDE had such versatile colour scheme options. Right away I got working on adapting it for KDE.

I have attached a screenshot of my windows setup with that colour scheme I've been trying to recreate in KDE, as well as my screenshot which I just took today.

What do you people think?
