October 2008 Screenshot Thread

[Vorian]

Rules:

1. Forum guidelines on content apply. In other words, safe for kids and safe for work.
2. Try not to quote embedded images; take a moment to snip them out.
3. Off-topic posts will be edited or moved.
4. Thumbnail your image, or use the forum's attachment system. Full-size embedded images are annoying and will be snipped mercilessly.
5. Take a moment and tell everyone the details of your desktop, such as the theme name, the wallpaper name, the icons and any programs you're using in the image.

Enjoy!

It looks to me like he's using Tint, which is a different panel app. You could easily kill xfce-panel and use tint instead, but you'd also have to use a stand-alone systray app, as tint doesn't have one.

I totally missed out on last month's thread so I wanted to make sure I got a post on this month's thread. Info's in the terminal.
Apps in the first screen are AWN Terminal and Totem (my VLC decided it wanted to bork this morning), and the apps in the other screen are Nautilus, GNOME Do and Google Gadget Sidebar. The desktop globe is Compiz with Cube Atlantis, but I'm not sure why my skydome isn't showing up or my gradient isn't working.

I do have a screenshot showing my Firefox theme, but I didn't want to post a fifth screenshot. I'll post it if anyone wants to see it. With the exception of the fourth wallpaper, which I made from a pic I found on StumbleUpon, all wallpapers are custom images I made from images I found. (The girl on desktop 3 is a camgirl I use to talk to, but last time I checked she's not doing her cam anymore.)

Well in the honor of upcoming Ubuntu 8.10, and it's proposed themes I am using Dust 0.2 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme?action=show&redirect=Artwork%2FIncoming%2FIntrepid%2FDustTheme ). Decided to go with a dark theme, and I have dark themes on all three of my computers.

Same as it was a few days ago...

It looks really good (just a tad better than the first one you posted). What is the font you are using for the window titles?

[Barrucadu]

@Barrucadu, how did you add "pacman" progressbar into arch's pacman? Also, what's the font you're using here in the terminal?

For the progress bar, put "ILoveCandy" in your /etc/pacman.conf, and I'm using "anorexia" (part of the artwiz-fonts package) as my fixed width font.

[el mariachi]

where in pacman.conf exactly?

[e2k]

Here's my openbox. Using tint, trayer and netwmpager..

So what type of slab are you using? The one in the repos called Application Browser does not look as slick as yours.

I love it. The only thing that annoys me about it is the button it sticks at the left of the ticker. You can't remove it. However, by adding transparency using Compiz, it's more bearable.

This is for the people looking for the dark wood wallpaper. I think this is as big as it comes.

[kaivalagi]

You can get the original wood wallpaper pack here: http://oliuss.deviantart.com/art/Wood-Wallpaper-2-87623810

Images are up to 1920x1200, but are in wood colour :)

A little play about in Gimp and you'll have what you want at up to 1920...

What theme is that you're using?
The GTK-theme is Shiki-Brave and the emerald theme is Gommoso Brave Dark.


that looks nice. what kind of machine? and btw, is that stalin in those little pieces of 'paper' near the icons?

Exactly! Just Google for something like wood wallpaper, you'll get it some color and after less than 30 seconds in GIMP/Photoshop you've got the color you want.

Thanks man,

For the clock, open gconf-editor, >> apps >> panel >> applets >> applet n (the one that says Gnome:Clock) >> prefs >> edit custom_format and place "<span color="#F37800">%A, %d %B</span> %H:%M %Z" you can change the colour and format of course. :popcorn:

[ZarathustraDK]

Here's a desktop-screenie of my new eee 901 ^^

[What is in a name?]

Changed my desktop a bit. The basic layout is the same old dual panel GNOME arrangement, but the tone is a bit warmer and, I hope, soothing.

http://b.imagehost.org/t/0940/ecra.jpg (http://b.imagehost.org/view/0940/ecra.png) http://b.imagehost.org/t/0319/ecra2.jpg (http://b.imagehost.org/view/0319/ecra2.png) http://b.imagehost.org/t/0277/ecra3.jpg (http://b.imagehost.org/view/0277/ecra3.png)

GTK theme: a modified version of Caramello, made to have dark menus (I still find the hybrid look very fashionable);
Metacity theme: K03, the borderless version, with the background color changed to #2b2b2b;
Icons: Eikon2, as usual;
Fonts: Lucida Sans 7,1pt, except for the windows titles, where I use LucidaMacBold, 7pt;
Wallpaper: one of the many proposals for the Intrepid Ibex release. I got it somewhere here in the forums, but the picture's name is apparently "Red Ibex". If that isn't any help, I can upload it again here in the topic.

And one of my favourite Portuguese bands playing, to help to the peaceful mood. Rádio Macau FTW.

Please try again, then. I experienced the same after checking the link of the third screenshot, but then tried again and it worked. I suppose Imagehost is experiencing some issues.

P.S. (and off-topic): Will we have to see that pumpkin inside of the Ubuntu logo during all month? Is this because Ibex will be released on Halloween? :D

The pixmap for the menu button is probably messed up. If the buttons aren't pixmapped, then I don't know what to say because Metacity XML files are too complicated for me.

The pixmap for the menu button is probably messed up. If the buttons aren't pixmapped, then I don't know what to say because Metacity XML files are too complicated for me.

I also think that the fix is somewhere in the XML file cuz I was editing it before in order to remove the background from the buttons and etc..

But like you said the XML files are too complicated :(

I made a modified theme on the basis of a couple of the default themes and named it Bronzie, then I modified my earlier plain ibex background to match it.

I edited this 28 Weeks Later movie poster and I really like how it looks. However, I have no ideas on where to start with the rest of this theme. A good icon theme is one of my main problems. I would like something that would either match the red or the light gray. Does anyone have any suggestions on gtk or icon themes?

[Koori23]

Been playing around a lot with NNM-BB-GTK window border..

I never really liked having the title show up.. I know what program I'm using. Never really liked the panel either.. So I killed that.

Modified MurrineWTB, Modifed NNM-BB-GTK xfwm border

thanks for the link.

Its working just fine on my desktop except for couple of things.

1) I'm can't get the mpd play/pause/stop button to show up. It keeps on saying no mpd.awk script found, but the script is there with the other scripts.

2) Unable to get the transparency working in the CompizSettings.

Here is the screenshot:

The direction sometimes doesn't work. Don't worry. Make the mpd script executaxle (chmod +x). Not sure about compiz. That is what I have. Make sure the conky is a widget layer (in the .conkyrc)

thx.

I had changed the own_window_type to override. Changing it back to widget solved the problem.

On the other hand, I made the mpd script executable but no go there. I think maybe because I've to start mpd with sudo it requires root privileges?

I tried switching the mpd installation locally and still no difference. I think the problem is with the mpd.awk file rather than mpd cuz even if I double click on it it comes up with an error saying
Failed to execute child process "/home/cd-r/.scripts/mpd.awk" (No such file or directory). I've to open it via right clicking on it. I'll try looking around a bit more :(

Any issues ask on the conkyForecast thread...

Make sure you use the latest version of the script, the one available for download in the Arch linux forum is well out of date...

Also it is a common misconception that the wind direction arrows point the wrong way. However if the wind direction was NW for example the arrow shouldn't point NW, it should point SE on purpose. The wind is north westerly so comes from that direction, and heads south easterly...

As far as I am aware nothing is broken with the script...

The conky indeed looks great and integrates perfectly into your setup.

However I don't like the metacity/emerald window borders.

I presume you use the eikon icon theme?

How do you get those "special" folders (for music, videos, ...). Mine are just all normal folders.

On the left is IceWM-lite running in Ubuntu 8.04 with strictly GTK1.2 applications; it's the basis for that somewhat-ridiculous Ubuntu GTK1.2 Remix I made. My current desktop looks almost identical to that ... which is kind of why the ... oh, never mind.

On the right a return to 2000 or so, with a pretend Windows desktop. The full IceWM setup on that one, plus Xfe, a GTK1.2 version of Firefox 2, and again, nothing GTK2. (Oh, I have SCIM installed, which is GTK2, but that's kind of necessary, so I don't really count it ... ).

Things move amazingly faster when you fall all the way back to GTK1.2 ...

L'Arbre du Ténéré, known in English as the Tree of Ténéré, was a solitary acacia, of either Acacia raddiana or Acacia tortilis, that was once considered the most isolated tree on Earth — the only one within more than 400 kilometres (250 mi).
