I started to customize my desktop after seeing some amazing ones during the November desktop thread. I haven't decided on the colors to use for conky yet, so I don't have that running, but all in all I am pretty happy with my theme. I just keep changing between a few similar wallpapers.

Here's my December Desktop, Ubuntu based, with the following configurations:

Xubuntu 6.10, with:

- XFCE-Dusk Theme
- Moheli Windows manager style
- Adesklets with the weatherforecast & mailer desklet
- Free available Star Wars EP. III wallpaper - Darth Vader

How do you get cube transparency in Beryl ?

Desktop Cube -> Transparent Cube (it's the option at the very bottom)

Then change the numeric values to suit.

Beryl does that, and I also use Beryl's 'state'-plugin to remove borders from Gnome-terminal when I launch it with the profile I made for the desktop-ncmpc.

I just got beryl working again and I see that I do have a drop shadow but it's very minimal. Yours looked more prominent. Is there an option to change it? Nothing jumped out at me.

The shadows depend on Emerald themes, so the place to tune them is Emerald Theme Manager. Select a theme you like, and then you'll find shadows in Themes Settings - Edit Themes - Frame/Shadows.

[Albi]

Also, you can make them a colour other than black to give it a "neon glow" look like in mine

Behold. I'm using the Cillop-Midnite GTK theme and the ATER-Blue Metacity theme, both from gnome-look.org.

No Beryl or anything, though. My Celeron-with-256MB-RAM laptop isn't really capable of it. :)

Ah, now I get it. I was playing with that last night but I couldn't see any difference. I changed the shadow color and did an extreme offset and then I could see what it was doing. I guess it also does the windows as well as the panels.

Many thanks.

Sorry man, but the incredible size of those files coupled with the slow speed of your server will probably stop anyone from looking at your screenshots.
You really ought to save your screenshots as jpg rather than png. The quality loss is only small, and the files would be a much more reasonable size.

Here's mine. I still can't give up my fall colors despite the snow on the ground. Anyone know why my skydome is curved (I used 2048x2048) or why I lost my beryl icon? I tried to get a snapshot of the burning windows but couldn't seem to get it to work. Maybe slow reflexes.

[d3v1ant_0n3]

Try turning off 'animate skydome' option? Not quite sure what you mean, sorry.

You can slow animations right down-my keybinding for it is SHIFT+F10, but I can't remember if that's default.

[m.musashi]

If you look closely at the top and bottom of the skydome image you can see that it seems to have curvature. The original image does not. Animate skydome is not turned on. I tried a couple of sizes using the power of 2 rule and all had this effect. It almost looks like a piece of paper that doesn't quite fit and is bulging out.

But when I do animate the skydome it is big blur. Is that because I'm using the wrong size or will it always blur?

[ice60]

@ice60 you mind posting your .conkyrc file?

i've put all the scripts in an archive, i keep them in ~/scripts, then tell conky where to look for them at the bottom of conkyrc, so you'll have to change the paths there.

it won't let me upload conkyrc lol, i'll try again in the next post :|

i think the scripts and conky have been uploaded now :-k

here's where i configured the weather and RSS feeds -
http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=24669&pid=144272&st=0&#entry144272
it has this link on the page too which shows how to get the weather code! (put where you live in the url below vv)
http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=
then put the code in this bit in conkyrc replace this bit UKXX0085 and put the path to your scipts there too.

${execi 1800 /home/iceni/scripts/weather.sh UKXX0085}

something might have to be changed in conkyrc though because yesterday one of the feeds had lots of writting in and conky went off the screen :o over to my neighbours i think :|

It's a theme addon called TGTSoft StyleXP (very original name!). From memory you have to mess about with a cracked theme lib that is part of XP to get it to work though. It's been so long since I used that old dinosaur that I've forgotten , sorry.

And YES that actually is a licensed copy of XP (although I'm sure MS would have some objections to me using it in a VM :mrgreen:)

Some of the best (in my opinion) fluxbox styles come from the first two sources below:

http://www.boxwhore.org/modules/news/
http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/962/?topic_id=962
http://www.customize.org/list/fluxbox

Tenr even provides a very good tutorial on creating your own Fluxbox styles.

By the way, the Gentoo Wiki screenshot shows that the user has conky (or the torsmotoy adesklet) and three adesklets running besides Eterm. In case you were wondering what those were.

It was included in a theme pack, though I cant remember from where. I've attached it here for you ;)

[ice60]

That's a very nice setup. I've never seen a better screenie with Conky & FluxBox. Could you let me know what theme you're using & what you're using for the transparencies?

Tony.

this is the theme -
http://tenr.de/files/fluxboxstyles_archives/choke.tar.bz2
i changed bits of the setup though and all the fonts, i'll add my theme.cfg as an attachment.

the transparency is compiled into fluxbox isn't it?? i just clicked some options in the menu lol you need to log out of fluxbox for the settings to take effect though :)

i can't remember which gtk theme i was using along with the choke theme at that time now, but, i just looked at the nubuntu site and they say to use the "GTK theme Marble" :D

EDIT
you can check if you have transparency enabled by looking at the output of these -

xdpyinfo | grep RENDER

fluxbox -i
the output of both should have RENDER mentioned somewhere.

ok, this is another Openbox desktop I have put together -easier on the eyes. It's all Zenwalk Linux 4.0 by the way. I got fed up of eye candy, and like my desks functional.
It's using a new rezlooks theme called Rezlooks-expressive, and the openbox theme is 'graphitetypething'. It uses pypanel at the bottom.
I thought the bash prompt was a lot more functional like that, and is very easy to set up.

mrs. fuscia has cast her vote. she says 'openbox'. well, she didn't actually say 'openbox'. she indicated a preference for whichever one i was using at the time. she doesn't like the one that 'makes all the windows go shooting all over the place' when she clicks on the wrong part of the desktop (this would be beryl). i haven't used openbox much at all since getting my laptop. it's nice to be using it again. a couple of things i've stumbled on that are new to me: using the xfce4-panel, as i can't get pypanel to install on edgy (all i need is a tasteful clock, anyway), and using kcontrol to control the color scheme and font of all the apps.

the theme is a modification of glitch.

Do you have the latest Murrine GTK2 Engine 0.31 installed?

MUCH BETTER! THANKS!!

In hopes that our IT guys might wander by one day and see my desktop (I keep my taskbar on auto hide) and see "anything but Windows XP" on my computer here at work.


(these are the guys who teach computer classes in how to tweak your pc for performance, and run maintenance progs, etc. and keep the us from doing anything because we don't have admin priveleges.)

(Oh, it's E17, a new enlightenment window manager version. I got the picture from their website)
Very attractive. Are you running E17? I've been wanting to try it but I've heard it's a bit tricky. As for keeping IT people in the dark, try a little beryl magic coupled with vmware. I should be working on finals but this is much more fun.

The win is legit but I like the wallpaper. I got the idea from kvnob in an earlier post. It makes me feel like I'm sticking it to the man. Actually I don't suppose MS would be too happy that I have both a dual boot and the vm but I'll dump the dual boot as soon as I'm convinced this works. Unfortunately, I need (or am too lazy to learn something new) to run SAS, Dreamweaver, and a couple others.

Great wallpaper!

I'm using E17 right now. But that screeny is from work, so it's on a Windows machine, just an E17 wallaper on it so it "looks" offensive to the Minions of Microsoft.

That pirated edition wallpaper would probably offend your IT minions too.

Good point. I'll have to find it somewhere! ;)

Hope that saves you some time. It is the best resolution I can find. A 1280x1024 would be nice but I haven't found one yet.

Nice cool (without being too blue) look for winter.

Wallpaper: www.studiotwentyeight.com
Window Border: Gilouche
Controls: Murrina CandyDuo (From Gnome-Look, I believe)
Panel Background: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=48868

I *really* hope Beryl will come to ATi cards soon!

This is the first time I've ever seen KDE looking good.

[fuscia]

meh. but, look at what the wallpaper does to an open window (assuming you have nothing better to do, like sitting on air hose). it looks like the bottom left border is thicker than the bottom right.

Excellent, thank you and it's up on my DT right now!

I just upgraded my new computer to Edgy, using Beryl and dual monitor setup. I went blue in December.
