Unfortunately nothing new here, just going to stick the same ol screeny up sad.gif

Wall: More Fun Than Tekken -- Linky
Icons: Unknown, really. I'll look it up if someone wants them, which I'd highly doubt wink.gif
Themes: Refer to that icon comment, nothing special.
Distro: Gentoo
Apps: aterm, superkaramba, other junk.

Edit: This screenshot is a little older than I thought it was, color scheme has (thankfully) changed greatly, little nicer on the eyes with some blue, rather than that puke green

On a side note, very nice cakey, looks like I need to do some work to catch back up with you again happy.gif

Hey comprookie2000, you need to enable highmem for your kernel, as you can see it's reporting 884, rather than your full gig smile.gif

thx, btw
what does sleep 5s do? wait for 5 secs before taking the screenshot?

EDIT: I tried "sleep 5s; import -window root screenshot.jpg" but it says "import: command not found".

The 'import' tool is a part of the ImageMagick package.

Yup. Thanks!

That is Jeffrey, and he is my #3 (out of 4) son. He was just over a year old in that pic - he is 4 now.

He is the one on the left. tongue.gif

Looks nifty. Would you be up for sharing the pixmaps to enable porting to other WMs?

I would be more than happy, but the only pixmaps are the close/min/max buttons. The rest is drawn on the fly so it adapts to your current GTK2 theme smile.gif

Hi please send me your engage config!!!
Knight'
Dom could you send my your ~/.icons folder and engage config? And what did you use for the Media Player I see in your Panel? And how the heck did you get Firefox so damn sexy?

I have to say that is THE best, really the BEST, Linux desktop I've seen!
Dominatus
Thanks guys for the comments, makes a guy feel good about his desktop :-p

Anyway, as for the questions about the desktop:

engage is launched as follows:
engage -s 64 -T 0 -I 1 -i 1 -W 1400 -H 250 -t none

xcompmgr is launched as follows:
xcompmgr -t -3 -l -12 -nc -r 8 -F

The icons are located at osx-e, they are all standard OS X icons, with the exception of the harddrive icon, which I found on deviantart, Im sorry I forgot the link sad.gif

As for firefox, it's a milk theme. Again, I found it on deviant art about 6 months ago or longer and am not quite sure where it's at sad.gif

As for the media player in the top bar, it's actually very simple but it's cool and very functional. Basically they are icons I made (not really made, 'stole' is a better word hehe :-p) and gave them the following commands:

rewind: xmms -r
pause: xmms -u
play: xmms -p
foward: xmms -f

You could do something similar for rhythmox if you use that, or probably any other media player for that matter.
