What's that theme you're using for the window borders in XFCE?

[psychicdragon]

it's called be digital, you can get it here (http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=30090). Looks best with Sans Bold 8 as the title font.

actually, he was being a very patient subject. when he's not acting like he's been shot out of a canon, he has the personality of a seeing-eye dog.

does anyone know if i can have a clock like stimpack's KDE with my default breezy install?

[Stormy Eyes]

Instead of the LED style clock that the KDE panel uses by default? Yes, you can have that. Just right-click on the clock and fiddle with its preferences. I can't tell you more than that, as I haven't used KDE since I stopped using SuSE Linux.

Thank you. I just found the quirks of GNOME annoying and it's broken recent documents menu (it doesn't show documents after log in until I open another one) to be a deal-killer. But each his own, I guess. :)

Ciccio (the dude that made those icons) is an amazing guy as well as an awesome artist. You can see his work in my screenies. I use Alphacube GTK but modified. We're debating what to release my version of the GTK, since it's not that much different, but a few of the colors are different. The Metacity, though, is the Alphacube Condensed Light, which I just made from his original Alphacube Light. You can get the original Alphacube GTK and the Alphacube Metacity Regular and Condensed at gnome-look.org :-D

Anyway, screenies :KS

Mine's fairly basic yet since I just installed a couple weeks ago. Just Gnome with some MacOSX icons and StongLooks and NoirZ for the windows. Aterm is running in pseudo-transparent mode since I have yet to get true transparency working. I've also installed VMWare running XP Pro for those couple of Windows programs I just can't live without. I'm slowly working on getting a FluxBox theme together, but that will only be after I get the system itself working just how I want it.

hi, Stormy Eyes :) i'm using Gnome Breezy

does anyone know if i can have a clock like stimpack's KDE with my default breezy install?i'm quite tired so maybe i'm not making sense but all i really found in preferences was Unix time :razz: i really like Ubuntu, but i don't think i'm on Unix time just yet :) what i ment to say was "my gnome Breezy install" sorry. is there a way to change the clock?

Do you want the source for my GnomeBar? I took out the main menu and made it much wider, and added icons. It's buggy with Breezy, but I just took out everything that didn't work with it. See here (http://photobucket.com/albums/c390/endersshadow7/?action=view&current=Screenshot-6.png)

what is GnomeBar?

It's a gDesklet, and it's at the bottom of my screen...

If you'd like to install gDesklets:

They're desklets. Install the gdesklets and gdesklets-data packages, then 'gdesklets' should appear in the accessories menu.

Also, right click on one of the bars at the top and bottom of the screen and go to 'add to panel'. There are a few things you might find useful there.

Oh, duh, I knew that. I've always been scared off by the Composite Manager because, knowing my luck, it'd go boom.

[codejunkie]

This may be a noobish type question, but how in the hell did you get transparancy on Gnome?
There are a couple of ways, in that screenshot im using xfwm4 as my window manager, instead of metacity, and it makes the windows transparent when you move resize them. but by following that guide that fog (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=21312) give you should be able to do the same effect by using transset to set the opacity of windows.

[almahtar]

well, since everyone else is doing it i'll jump off this bridge too here's mine.
:cry: Is that composite transparency? I am so so so so jealous... I can't get my 3d drivers working, and I have an ATI card anyway, which I can't swap out for a NVidia, because my only computer is a laptop... I envy you!

GeForce4 MX4000 but your ati card would probably out preform it.

Now I'm using nvidia, but a year ago, before gnome, before Ubuntu,
I was with Suse, Kde and Ati and it works too, with custom x.org and kde

:cry: Is that composite transparency? I am so so so so jealous... I can't get my 3d drivers working, and I have an ATI card anyway, which I can't swap out for a NVidia, because my only computer is a laptop... I envy you!
Nope. ATI cards don't have composite support at all, so I hear. I may as well be dealing with an old svga card: I get no 3d support, and even if I did I'd have no composite support.

I created it. I created all of the backgrounds, re-created most icons, and have developed/designed most of the rest of the components....

I'm currently skinning bmp .... two skins, because I can't decide which direction to go with it.
