I still have the same from November. I just cant bring myself to change the awesomeness. Maybe I'll merge fvwm later and mess with that.

EDIT: Woooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!! First December desktop post. (even though it technically isn't new)

My desktop - on my brand new first time linux ubuntu box - is a custom background and milk 2.0. Nothing special really but will post it later on. I'm wondering if anyone could point me to some nice icon themes that go well with milk....

New month, new desktop

Icons: Xi-Gnome from art.gnome.org
wallpaper: FreeDesktop also from art.gnome.org


BIG

open_coder that's a nice desktop. how did u make the menu transparent in flux?

mine still looks about the same

A pretty standard gnome desktop

Ubuntu Warty, Milk 2.1 and a wallpaper I grabbed off of Deviant Art.

oh, and the mplayer skin is new-age

Theme :- Milk2 from roberTO (check my sig for link)
Wallpaper :-sneakleaf ( came with fedora core3 )
icon :- marcintesh (gnome-look.org)
programmes :- file browser and terminal .

OS :- fedora core 3 running on my ibm lappy.

( i respect 56kers)

^ wtf why isnt that showing properly ? mods..... moooodddssss ... where r u ?

Try actually using proper syntax.

die.

[IM G]http://img85.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img85&image=d8-Screenshot.png[/IM G] and remove the spaces between the IM and G for both sides of tag!.. syntax is important!

I was sleeping.

And, it looks like the issue was found and fixed.

Mine's still the same from November too:



Theme: Milk 2.1
Wallpaper: from http://www.gnome-look.org
Apps: Terminal and gDesklets

cant edit my post to correct.

Don't worry dude, its not the end of the world

Anyway:

Clean

and

Dirty

Openbox w/ OfficeBlue theme, pypanel, torsmo, gtk2 theme is industrial-myst, Suede icon theme, forgotten the wallpaper source.

can we get a link to the wallpaper anyway? Just post a link somewhere, until somebody asks you to take it down for whatever reason.

Certainly: http://motoreffect.ath.cx/~rezza/files/Tec...mperfection.jpg

There you go:
- Gnome 2.8 / X.Org 6.8 on Gentoo
- Ana/Welcome back combo
- Lush iconset
- Desktop wallpaper can be found here.

Sorry guys. I know I promised to make an awesome fvwm desktop for you guys, but I needed to install windows for next. sem. on my laptop and its taking all my space. (30 gig) And my desktop is broken. I'll try to do one next month when I get my desk fixed.

Monkeh!

I am starting to like kde. I used to only user gnome, but the k-force is calling me.

After fresh Fedora Core 3 install

Neverball rocks

Just playing around with other people's stuff. The openbox theme is based on
GaMMa's OfficeBlue, but quite heavily modified. The MPD Client is based on one
originally written by oggy on the gentoo forums - I just hacked some of the
stuff out of it. Oh, and python rocks your socks

Sorry to post so soon again but I really wanted to show off my new found love for enlightement & xorg composite extensions (thanks rezza!)

If only I could work out how to start enlightenment with gnome instead of metacity...

That's an incredibly sleek desktop.

I have a qq:

How did you manage to get torsmo to work with bitstream (sans-bold?)

Also, I noticed that you published a guide for Xorg-cvs + Composites. How would I be able to implement it in the standard package from Gentoo's portage? Would only the xorg.conf changes suffice?

Why thank you!

I grabbed it from cvs. The version in portage is still 0.17 i think, and that doesn't support antialiased fonts, but there is an ebuild floating around the gentoo forums (search for "torsmo issues") which will let you use decent fonts. See the configs section of my site if you need a hint on how the font should be setup in the .torsmorc.

Yep, that will be fine... assuming that the nerw xorg installs an xcompmgr binary and a transset binary. If it doesn't (and i really don't know if it does or it doesn't) then you'll have to get those two from cvs or something. Details are in the same guide.

Sweet!

I found a wiki entry that does the trick. Thanks!

I want your desktop!

mmm crystal with xcomp shadows. a little slow though.

Which WM is that kongit? The default KDE one?

yeah kwin. I am using the crystal theme with I got from kde-look.org

Click for full sized

It's been a while since I last posted my desktop, so here goes nothin'.

This is my main rig's desktop. While most of my other machines run wmi-10 as their wm, I decided to spoil this particular machine with Openbox + soft dropshadows.

[Apps from Top-Left to Bottom-Right: Pypanel, Rox-filer (can't remember the Mimetype-set,) torsmo-cvs, pympc (python-based client for musicpd,) and gmrun.]

OpenBox is running the OfficeBlue theme, with a slightly modified Industrial gtk2 set.

Oh, and the wall is sunny-tropics by some vector-artist I discovered thanks to Neowin.

[attachmentid=99156]

"TO CAKEY WITH LOVE..."?!?!?

Funny!

Shes MY imaginary girlfriend. She says what ever I want!

I can't edit my previous post any more, so here are a few additions that I decided to make after receiving a few pms:

The iconset is Etiquette

The Wall is Sunny Tropics - by bizarreSK

The thumbnails in Rox are of images created by Florian Freundt

CaKeY where can I get a desktop like that?

Ubuntu 4.10 / Gnome 2.8.1 - fairly generic with RoberTO's Digital Harmony theme, Etiquette icons, and Jens Wilke's LO-FI Firefox theme.

Fvwm

One of the Nicest fvwm shots I've seen (apart from the bluecurve-ish gtk theme). Care to throw me your .fvwm2rc and window decoration pixmaps?

Thanx
I think it could be better ... i am working on it.
This is unfinished theme , here you have a theme that my new config is based on.

Coxis, that's one hell of an edible desktop you got there!

Very clean.

Thanx again
http://coxis.webhop.net/index.php?page=galeria
This is the gallery from my page , there is a few fvwm screens.
It is in polish language but still you can see the screens

Your site looks very interesting and cool, but unfortunately I can't understand polish; have you got an english version of it?

p.s. Your wallpaper collection is excellent!

The english version , well i think about it but my counter on the site is about 100~150 visits a day. This is too small for me and the most people are from Poland. Anyway i will consider to change not all to english , but maybe some of them , like menu , gallery , walls ...
I don't have the good idea to change to english , i have a texts about fedora linux in polish , also i had a news in polish language that will be still in polish so .... i think about it but i don't promise anything.
When i think about the site in english the better will be do the hole page in english but this is too much work for me , i haven't got free time to do that.

No problem, don't worry about it. I just wondered if you had a translated version that was all. I was just so impressed by the layout, content, etc. that I thought I wish I could read it also.

I finally managed to get linux running on my 486. It took ages to find something that would install, and I had to hack around with it for an inordinate amount of time, but eventually I got ubuntu running on it:

clean
and
dirty

Openbox 3.2, urxvt, and dillo, the mighty mighty browser of kings!
