he's not much of a cuddler yet. he had a rough early childhood (we're pretty sure he was ditched). a couple in our neighborhood was feeding him and would have kept him, but their two spoiled rotten fluffballs hate all other cats, so we took him. we've had him for a month and he's gained two and half pounds. our house has cat toys and feathers all over the place (the feathers are from one of his toys). our last cat lived to be 21, so his energy level is quite a shock. i keep saying it's like having an otter loose in the house.

My desktop changes frequently, on average every 5 to 10 days. I was feeling unusually bright and cheery today and very in touch with either my internal 1960's flower-power love child or maybe my "I don't have to be a macho man all the time" side.

Hope your sunglasses are handy.

Heh... the fox taking a bite out of the e. BTW, how did you get that Mac OS like setup at the bottom?
I'm using gDesklets (http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/). That one is called starterbar (http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/categories.php?func=gd_show_app&gd_app_id=210). Lots of cool eyecandy on that site.

The main gdesklets program can be installed using synaptic and then individual desklets downloaded from the web site. Installation of the individual desklets is easy, just start gdesklets form the terminal

gdesklets and then drag the downloaded desklet's archive icon into the open gdesklets window.

I think I'll soon need a change of style, but for now I like

I like to have the minimalistic "task bar" in the bottom. I've no idea
what was wrong with the network when I took the shot.

Confirmed. I connect to the page, but all I see is white.

In fact, the main Gallery isn't working either. My guess is that the vBulletin upgrade took it out of commission.

[majikstreet]

Yep. Gallery messed up.

TO ALL: As of right now, ubuntu-geek is getting the gallery fixed :) There is a topic about it in Site Discussion titled "Gallery is dead".

you have to host it somewhere where they provide a thumbnail link. I think Photobucket do, try there. Beautiful desktop btw.

What themes are you using to get your panel like that? I have tried various themes from gnome-look.org, but for the darker themes that match the background, I cant read any of the text from the menus after I install them. So it looks good, but its functionally useless. Any suggestions for themes?

Notice the nice drop shadows on my Windows and Gdesklets. I even place a shaded Muine in a white spot so you can really see them- even the K3B status thing in the upper left corner has shadows that are nice. The tao gdesklet looks great and the new window border theme of mine is like a fun Metabox called Brace.

[poptones]

Dakota with a dash of Smoosh. You lucky folks in the UK are going to have a chance to see this duo in person at the end of the month... don't blow it. Luscious Jackson meets Tori Amos - but these two have an excuse for singing like children.

Someone earlier posted a desktop with a scene of Montana... couldn't resist posting one with a shot of Dakota :)

Is that Gnome?

Nops, its e17. I installed it a few days ago and its really working well. No real killer bugs, and it just looks beautuíful IMO.

Which HOWTO did you use? I tried E17 three months ago, and it was pretty, but a bit clunky. It looks like E has come a fair ways since then.

I used this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79155)

Its really a breeze to install, just a question of apt-get'ting - i was very pleased :D.
Themes work and most modules too.. I wouldnt recommend trying entrance thought as it seriously messes up, at least for me.
The rest feels stable as.. well... gnome i guess ^^

BTW. on a second note... how do you keep track of your posts and replies, so quickly. I'm pretty new to all this forum posting stuff, and remembering where i said what and finding out when to follow up seems like a pretty daunting task. Is there some easy way(tm), beyond viewing all your posts in the search drop down?? :)

Part of it is just having a good memory. The rest involves clicking on the "User CP" link, going to "Edit Options", and selecting "No Email Notification" from the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" option. This will automatically "subscribe" you to any thread in which you post, but will do so without spamming your mail account.

[salva]

Ahh - brilliant... thank you.

And have fun with the e17 install ^^

Ahh - brilliant... thank you.

Well, first post and it's a desktop thread. Where does my karma go from here? ;) Not to mention the fact that I'm posting pics of a non-Gnome-or-KDE desktop. Just who the heck do I think I am?!

Thanks to Stormy for providing some great Openbox threads to get me started. I'm loving the XML configs and its overall super-speediness. You'll notice the Wallpaper pipe-menu in the clean shot; I think Stormy provided that, or at least directed me to it.

So now I've posted; I'm no longer a pure lurker. I'm no Linux n00b, but definitely not a guru either. I'll be happy to help when I can!

LOL. I've got that one and Dark Eternal. Love 'em both. Something about the slightly larger-than-usual window bar just looks right. You probably noticed I took the liberty of reducing the font on the menus, but aside from that, works great. Did you make Dark Eternal, too? If so, you've got a good eye for themes.

Glad you're here. Welcome. Nice desktop. I'm not sure you have enough hard drive partitions, though. :) :)

Also, what theme is that?
The wallpaper i made from this pic: http://manga.clone-army.org/gallery/gifts/chugworth.jpg (just extended the black bits and filled in the grey with the clone stamp in Gimp). It's some of the characters from Chugworth Academy (http://www.chugworth.com), a web comic, done as fanart by the guy at Clone.Manga (http://manga.clone-army.org/)

As for the theme,
GTK is Clearlooks-Clarity - http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=26624
Metacity is RAqua - http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=15067
Icons I use are Gnome-Apple, with OSX and nuoveXT as the fallback in the index.theme - http://xpedition.mine.nu/theme/macosx.html I think

Get the debian package from http://conky.sourceforge.net/, it's better compiled then the repo one.
You have to setup the config file, tough the default one works pretty well :)

(clearlooks)
http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/ubuntu/Human/gtk/Human-In-Blue2.tar.gz

Metacity=Blended, modded by me to have a active and inactive feel using the base[SELECTED] color for active windows, more noticable prelight buttons w/o the buttonbox, and a more noticable gradient on the titlebar. After I workout two more issues with the maximized state, I will release it at gnome-look, sometime today, hopefully.

Can someone point out to me how to use the gallery? First time ive uploaded and curious how to get a thumbnail to post in threads that links to the full version to help the dial uppers.

2nd Edit
Well I found a workaround somewhat. Insert the thumbnail in the img tag then use it to hyperlink to the full version. Also is their anyway to delete pictures you uploaded?
