    Sweet desktop

    Hi all!

    It took me to years to gain enough of confidence (linux confidence, that is) to join this forum By now i was only an exhaustive lurker.

    And now for the occasion: yesterday I've spent whole day (by that i mean literally) changing my icons. I had especially hard time with emacs icon, where changes within the /usr/share/icons wouldn't do. It was even harder to change the close,maximize and unmaximize on apps...it took me while to realise that i have to change something called "metacity" via my gconf editor...but probably i was doing everything in a stupid way: copying the *png into my icon folder (with index.theme), trying to guess the proper names for *png files, for example "document-save.png", "go-next.png",etc...I simply looked at the other names in /usr/share/icons and took them as a reference...well, not always successfully...

    Anyway, since i am a girl, my goal was a cutest desktop i can make...and here it is!

    I have a feeling you'd get on well with Legendary_Bibo.
