November 2008 Screenshot Thread

[mashcaster]

Once you have it installed, please post some screen shots here for everyone to see. Maybe even some screen shots of customizations.

[DJ_Peng]

Here's a pair screenshots I took after upgrading to the RC last week. The first is right after the upgrade, the second after getting AWN running with Xcompmgr. I finally saw that Nvidia has beta versions of new legacy drivers working, and I'm working on getting Compiz running again.

[mashcaster]

Thanks for the post!

I am wondering if ATI drivers have been sorted in this release.

Any more screenshots from others?

[Usufruct]

[hictio]

DJ_Peng & Usufruct,

Any of those is using the default Ubuntu theme, right?
I was under the impression that it was going to be darker.

[ram130]

mine still has a couple hours left....i got a 8mb connection its downloading at 512kb...frm all servers

[DJ_Peng]

Mine are using a now slightly borked Mac4Lin theme. They did make a darker Human theme, called NewHuman during testing but now called DarkRoom.

[gnuvistawouldbecool]

I'm not a great fan of the default look, so this is how it looks now, with an appearance theme from Gnome-look called Shiki-Brave.

The new default background isn't bad though, pity about that weird one there was back during the Betas.

Compiz works too, but due to the weird way my laptops keyboard layout works I can't get a screenshot of it with the cube.

[theduffman]

FreeSans much better.

[LaRoza]

Rules:

Forum guidelines on content apply. In other words, safe for kids and safe for work. If you have doubts about the images appropriateness, please don't post it (some people are at work or are uncomfortable with some images). The easiest way to cover up minor things would be to put an open window in front of it.
Try not to quote embedded images; take a moment to snip them out.
Off-topic posts will be edited or moved.
Thumbnail your image, or use the forum's attachment system. Full-size embedded images are annoying and will be snipped mercilessly.
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.

:) :)

https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/29948/Cloudlooks/Untitled.jpg

This is my GTK+Emerald theme on Intrepid.
I'm using Eikon, Cloudlooks (see signature) and one of the grass wallpapers from Interfacelift. Font is Liberation

[LaRoza]

Since we have images, I'll stick it, but I won't remove the other until it is the 1st everywhere (I made this because it is the 1st in some places).

[Amazona aestiva]

Hi!

I used Mazza558's theme pack (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806135).
X11 mouse theme: Vienna3
Icon theme: self mixed(HumanElephant, savane and others)
Dock bar: AWN

[hictio]

Nice one, theduffman! The darker one seems nice, IMHO.

Not much of a change...

[Mark76]

It looks good, and that's all that matters

[SuperSonic4]

Although it's not November my desktop won't change in half an hour
Original size should be 1440x900

Wallpaper is default Mandriva One and theme is Oxygen, The system monitor on the right is a superkaramba theme (Oxygen). The Webcomic is PhD Comics (http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1090). Other widgets are notes, folder view and weather. The dual taskbar plasmoid is installed to so I can have columns of programs a la KDE3

[steveydoteu]

Some change... :)

[natedawg]

Just about the same as last month. I can't change it...it looks to good :)

GTK: MurinneGlow Pink

[oOarthurOo]

Don't know what to say... it's a work in progress.

[elmer_42]

As you can see in the lower right of the screen, it's not November here yet, that comes in 7 hours. However, in honor of Ubuntu 8.10 coming out, I tried to make a brown/earthy desktop. I had my Tint looking a lot different than it does now, but I just like it too much the way it was, so I just changed a few of the colors on it. I went through a lot of brown wallpapers before I found this one. If you would like the configuration files for any of my applications, just ask, I would be more than glad to post them up.

My school grades.

I need to fiddle with the conky a bit more, but here's another desktop:

Do you just type those in, or do you have a script to calculate them based on a feed of some sort?

[elmer_42]

I'm trying to find that, but it's not in my rc.xml or my menu.xml. Where is it?

[BGFG]

Nothing fancy or very minimalist but i like it . Lost a little quality converting to a gif.
Intrepid Ibex, Hydroxygen Icon Theme.

Still rockin this desktop from earlier today ;)

I'm trying to find a good font for Conky and maybe a few icons for the dock.

Think I should've installed the Buuf or Buff Deuce iconset. Mattahan icons would have gone well with my Halloween theme.

Whoops, meant to edit my last post, not quote it.

What wallpaper is that?

[cardinals_fan]

It's a minimal script that uses lynx to grab the data and Perl to parse it.

[Giant Speck]

I never thought I'd be using GNOME, but now that I'm on Ibex, I'm using it a lot more than KDE because it more closely resembles what KDE used to be.

Okay, so I took WIIAN's MurrineGlow Red theme and I changed the colors in the Appearance dialog. I replaced the panel backgrounds with some really old kicker backgrounds I made a long time ago for KDE.

The wallpaper is the same as when I was on KDE: Flora Nine (http://delta909.deviantart.com/art/Flora-Nine-90794895?moodonly=1)

The Emerald theme is a mod of my Elegent Curve theme, which I have yet to upload.

I have Cairo-dock on the side.

And finally, my icons are Hydroxygen Red.

[vexorian]

**** why the November thread started so long ago? I was hoping to get on first page this month :).

First is my desktop, the other is my eee. Nothing important theme wise, just took clearlooks and applied a grayish tone for selected stuff, then installed the tango-installer or whatever it is called to use the gray variation. For the small one, I installed ubuntu-eee (whatever that is called now) and modded the remix launcher (by deleting some files in the folder where it finds graphics :) )

And the background... I themed my both computers on Les Luthiers, there are white variations of those available on deviant art, if you want the link or the black versions, you may ask, however I doubt you would.

[dbbolton]

I'm trying to find that, but it's not in my rc.xml or my menu.xml. Where is it?
It doesn't matter where it goes. Here's an example:



#Menu geometry
menu.border.width: 1
menu.overlap: -5

[SomeGuyDude]

My most recent 2 forays.

All else the same.

It's no secret!

PekWM & BMPanel: Case / GTK: GAIA 4 / Icons: nuoveXT2.2 / Wall: Hires
Very nice desktop. Pekwm deserves more credit.

[BlueSkyNIS]

Pretty! What's the name of that effect?

It's desktop cube plugin with 3D Windows + Cube reflection and deformation plugin. In Cube reflection and deformation I have enabled option: Cylinder deformation. :popcorn:

[chucky chuckaluck]

Very nice desktop. Pekwm deserves more credit.

especially for its ability to expand a window horizontally or vertically as an alternative option to maximizing. it might be a happy medium between traditional window managment and tiling window managment.

Would it be possible to post your configuration files, or PM them?

[elmer_42]

Right or middle click on the maximize button. It works! :D

[chucky chuckaluck]

post cancelled. (to dwm) looks like we finally made it, babe.

[cardinals_fan]

@razorlives: near-default GNOME desktops usually revolt me, but that is epic. Something about the wallpaper works great with everything else.

@voteforpedro36: a good example of how panels can offset a wallpaper in excellent ways.

So... Are the UbuntuForums going minimalistic? As in white?

EDIT: So it seems whatever issue the forums were having was solved.

EDIT: So it seems whatever issue the forums were having was solved.

[AlphaMack]

Took this screen grab last night after upgrading to Ibex...

Theme: Dust
Icons: Crashbit Ubuntu
Font: Liberation Sans

The icons go really well with Dust.

[steveydoteu]

I love that wallpaper in the first pic. May I get a link?

I got it via the forums myself, I forget the link though so I have uploaded it from my wallpaper folder, hopefully the scaling and such is alright :)

Just upgraded to 8.10

Gtk: Shiki-Wise
Icons: Eikon

Arch Linux, as close as I can get to the Windows 2000/Windows XP Classic theme.

IceWM with the WinClassic2 theme off box-look.org, standard Redmond and Raleigh themes found in the Arch GTK1.2 and GTK2 engine packages, and the downloadable Bliss wallpaper found via Wikipedia. GTK1.2 version of Firefox 2 with the "LooksFamiliar" theme applied.

volwheel for the taskbar volume control, MS Core Fonts plus the Tahoma font I found ... somewhere. Xfe set to the Windows theme and the panel colors set to match the GTK theme, XMMS with the Winamp skin (gnome-look.org), Sylpheed, XChat, GPicView, Galculator, rxvt-unicode, Leafpad, EasyTag, scrot, xscreensaver set to the morph3d screensaver.

Am I forgetting anything? ;)

[What is in a name?]

*excitement* I've been trying to get my folders like that for a while. How'd you do it?

I just created a custom icon for each folder... And assigned the icons to the correspondent folders on Nautilus' folder properties dialog.

Now, if something similar was possible under Thunar, now that would be a treat.

[aristotlewilde]

As promised...

First November Screenshot, details on screen.

Not sure how long I'll live w/ the Black and White Experience though.

I actually just answered this question on the Arch Forums. You can find the original wallpaper here (http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/details/1707/the_spectrum_of_the_sky.html).

There is a a way to do this, but you have to cheat a little. You have to make shortcuts to the actual folders. Then, you can change the icons of the shortcuts to whatever you want.

Well, most of my folders inside my Home directory are shortcuts anyway (as they link to actual folders inside of a separate partition), but still I can't seem to find any option to change their icon on the folder properties dialog in Thunar. Am I missing something?

Just nice and simple and blue.

Edit:
It seems the thread was merged with a clearly "Intrepid Screenshot" marked thread, which is pretty weird if you look at what I included in the screen grab below, ;):

Sorry, I meant .desktop files. Here is an example of documents.desktop:

The only annoying thing about this method is that it will open the directory in a new window.

What envrionment is that? It looks like something in the nature of openbox/fluxbox.

Would it be possible to post your configuration files, or PM them?

It's Openbox with Tint. I've already changed the tintrc, but here's what I can remember:

I commented what I know should be changed in order to reproduce my last one.

Hello everyone. I haven't posted here for quite a while, since I've been using Debian lately. Then, when Ibex came out I decided to give it a spin, and I was very impressed. I installed, and here are my screenshots. Details in the second one.

Is the right side conky? And, if so, how'd you get the transparent background - and can I steal your conky script?

[jenee]

On some of the sites that people here are
using to host snapshots have a warning of

it seems to be firefox thing and not google

I don't quite get why people cannot just attach them to their replies in the first place.

[benerivo]

As usual there are many dark desktops. Does anyone use a pure white one? I used to (see here (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=76676&file1=76676-1.png&file2=76676-2.png&file3=76676-3.png&name=Lucidity+Emerald)), and i thought it was pretty good.

[cardinals_fan]

Maybe because we use other forums as well and might want to post a screenshot in more than one place?

I think that's the icon for the latest version of Gnome-Do.

Well, I think this will be it for the rest of the month. New wallpaper and added conky since the previous post; this setup seems easy on the eyes, warm and unobstructive enough. I might have to mess around with conky a bit more, though.

Mine. Attached for easy reference.

I think a lot of people use dark desktops to save their eyes during late-night computing. I went white to avoid TOO many late nights. If it's at the point when my eyes hurt looking at my monitor, it's time to go to sleep (such as right now).

Dark desktops are great at night, but SUCK during the day.

What do you use as a method for rotation?
I use Wallpaper Tray (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WallpaperTray). It crashes more often than Drapes does, but I love being able to put my cursor over it and get the filename. With a few hundred wallpapers in active rotation I can forget which image is which. I added a launcher to the panel drawer so I can restart it when needed.

[urukrama]

Icewm with the Eidolon Icewm and Gtk theme and the Oxygen Refit (Black) icons.

Does anyone know how to make the taskbar in Icewm smaller? According to the official documentation it should follow the size of the menu icon (icewm.xpm), but I can't get it any smaller than this, no matter how small I make that icon.

Yeah. Drapes is pretty stable, but not having the tool tip is dealbreaker for me. So I just have to relaunch the tray every now and then.

If everything else fails, make your pypanel look like your Openbox menu. :D

Good sir, you are a genius. Best solutions are the simplest, as they say, right? :guitar:

Probably better to try and match pypanel to conky.

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina334?content=91475

It's included in the GTK theme. No idea why he didn't put the OB theme by itself on box-look.

[myusername]

thanks man i appreciate it

[SomeGuyDude]

No prob.

Also, here's my extremely minorly edited desktop, basically flipping some colors around in the OB theme and the PyPanel. Time will tell how long I stick with it. It's easier on the eyes but feels less "clean" than my setup at the top of the page.

[myusername]

looks nice ^^ but anyways that is the EXACT ob theme i have been looking for! it'd be nicer if i could darken the gray a little though

Hello I have recently embarked on a holy crusade of conversion to linux and what most people really like when they first try ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu ... is that they have a much greater freedom to configure their desktop theme/icons/window borders... but unfortunately they find the task a little daunting and sometimes just don't have the inspiration, so I was wondering if you could upload a screenshot of your current desktop environment with a few links on what to download to get to that result and maybe a few instructions I'm sure that would really help us less artistic folk thanks a lot for your contribution.

Oh and don't forget to mention if you are using KDE/Gnome/Xfce or other

http://www.gnome-look.org <- for GNOME stuff
http://www.kde-look.org <- for KDE
http://www.xfce-look.org <- XFCE
http://www.box-look.org <- for flux/open/blackbox and others

These are pretty much THE sites for desktop customization with the various desktop environments, and it's almost a given that any theme names you see here will be from one of those sites. I have the GNOME and Box variants in my Speed Dial.

Not very good I know but I just thought i would show you anyway: I use gnome i basically downloaded everything from gnome look (http://www.gnome-look.org/) for the controls i basically got linsta-gtk2, for the window borders I got metativo 2.0(I got this from gnome art but it's listed in the gnome look website too) For the icons i got aer-os-xk (really recommend those they're very diverse) and for the pointer i just used the pointer you usually get with kde called oxy-white

also here are a few links for the most popular downloads on gnome look:

Have you tried Slackware recently? I tried 12.x when I first switched from Red Hat and really liked it, but I'm sort of lazy when it comes to installing software so I moved on to Debian/Ubuntu so I could have the advantages of apt.

[yabbadabbadont]

/off-topic

Gentoo just expects it's users (and potential users) to be able to read and follow instructions... Although you don't usually see anyone using "RTFM" when replying to noobs, we do tend to provide links to said manuals (often the specific section) and ask them to read through them before asking more questions. If the answer is a one liner, then we usually provide it (along with a link to the relevant manual... ;))

Since I'm here, I'll go ahead and post a screenshot too. :D

i thought so too, but they are really subtle... just making the switch between windows a bit more pleasing... and menu items popping up bit nicer

overall i'm pleased... i will get tired soon and try to go minimalistic, i'm sure, but for now it suffices :)
