Have you poked around here?

www.gnome-look.org

Yes I have but this looks like something more than just a theme, its using fluxbox and those kick *** Terminal status on the desktop. I don't know how to get them...

This is not Gnome, this is Fluxbox, a different Window Manager. You can install it like this:


sudo apt-get install fluxbox

The system monitor on the right is most probably GKrellM, to install:


sudo apt-get install gkrellm

For Fluxbox styles see here (http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/themes.php) and for GKrellM themes see here (http://www.muhri.net/gkrellm/).

I have installed fluxbox, but everytime i try and click on the right menu options it just closes and nothing opens. Also when it did work if i opened nautilus and got my GNOME background i couldn't right click to open the flux menu a GNOME menu came up any ideas?

Also for the transparency I guess xcompmgr is used on this screenshot. To install


sudo apt-get install xcompmgr

and start it with the transparency and fading effects:


xcompmgr -fF &

For the right-click menu problem you can this after settings up Fluxbox:


sudo update-menus

This should update your menu. Sorry I don't know about Nautilus problem.

Thanks this is very helpful, but if I could only fix the fluxbox thing I'll be happy and just mess around with it myself. It really bugs me cuz I have to manually shutdown my computer cuz I can't click anything the toolbar just closes... also those terminals on the screen look hot

[fearful]

Is there any default shortcut to run the terminal cuz it won't even let me run that...

Not that I know of. But you can easily configure your shortcuts inside your Gnome session. Open the keys file located in ~/.fluxbox/keys and add this line to the end


None F12 :Exec gnome-terminal

save and exit. Now when you hit F12, Gnome Terminal will pop up.
