My VBox Ubuntu installation.


GTK-Metacity: Shiftie Pastel
Wall: found it at ewallpapers.eu
Font: Futura
Icons: XubuntuStudio
Apps: thunar, some standard image viewer, gnome-terminal

Just reinstalled Ubutnu 8.04 and I'm back to loving Linux. I had been messing around with OSx86 for a while and there wasn't really anything that made learning the intricacies of a new operating system worth it. The novelty of running OS X on my Dell was great but with no wireless support and huge problems getting my graphics card running and the amount of time I spent fixing problems just wasn't worth it. When you consider I get full hardware support out of the box and can configure Ubuntu to emulate what I liked most about OS X then which is better for me is obvious.

Clean (I covered up anything that could have been considered NSFW)

Dirty


GTK: Clearlooks-NeXT
Metacity: Clearlooks

Xfce
Xfwm4 (Katiola WM theme)
Theme is Nova-Blue
Running Fedora 8
I set workspace margins up so I could access the desktop menu without a panel button while windows are maximized.
I found the wall on 4chan when I was bored one day.

Oh and does anyone know how to change the layer that the Xfce panel appears on? I looked round on the interwebs a bit and apparently that option was taken out to improve focus management or something. Is there a config file somewhere I can edit to get around that?

Nice desktop dude Love the icons/window border

GTK: Elegant Mine
Metacity: Murrine Brave Dark
Icons: Gnome-Brave
Fonts: Arial
Wallpaper: Horora V4 By Aerotox

Pretty much default Ubuntu 8.04,

Wow Primo Turbo, that is one kick-ass combination of metacity+gtk. I can't find the specific edit of the window borders, nor the gtk theme at all. Any way you'll share them? ty

I'm not finished with my desktop yet, I might post later in this thread.

It appears the filename of the metacity and the actual name are different. Here is the metacity - http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Shiftie-Bred-81324382

Clearlooks-colors contains Murrine Brave.

^^^ Just for your info, you left the email contact info for "Jody" un-blurred. Not sure if that was an oversight, given your blurring of other such data in your screenshot.

Lets see your desktop You still on fluxbox?

Theme: ubuntustudio - sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-theme ubuntustudio-icon-theme ubuntustudio-wallpapers ubuntustudio-gdm-theme

Wallpaper: Sunday from The Week Project - manicho.deviantart.com

Icons: Mac OS X - From Mac4Lin

Well I guess you learn something every day, especially while using linux. I was trying to figure out how to get a good print screen with no terminal or other program showing with the ability to choose the filetype of the screenshot of it and stumbled upon ksnapshot, I recommend it to anyone who was in the same position I was in

Sure am. Fluxbox...

Switched from Fedora to (X)ubuntu a few months ago, but everything is pretty much the same for me.
Lots of Linux torrents seeding in Transmission (running decoration-less) and Pidgin is also running decoration-less. Those two apps I typically have pinned to all desks, though I don't switch desktops very much at all. Conky running as my resource monitor. The "messy" pic is how my PC typically looks. I have a few terminal sessions opened, and these I keep tabbed together in the same window. Not sure if Gnome's window manager allows tabbing like this, but the title bar is sectioned and clickable to display whatever docked window I dragged into the tabbing feature (you can tab completely dissimilar apps together, if you like). My wall is almost always some girl or another that attracts my eye, typically with exposed flesh. Good thing that the Transmission window is where it is.

That desk looks sweet! Would you mind posting links to where you found your GTK and Metacity themes? I have searched google but can't seem to find the same ones.

Not much has changed from last month except for the wall, some icons and the nvidia screenlet

.... my server seems to be having issues so ill just upload the image...

Simple desktop running Debian + Fluxbox

Damn! She won't thank me for that! Thanks for pointing that out to me Mark, but looks like I can't edit my post now anyway.

I posted the exact links on the first page, a bit after my first post.

Spent most of the night making this...
Using my own openbox theme, pypanel, netwmpager, conky, urukrama's calendar hack, dbbolton's theme info script.

More hacks with pypanel, I wonder if anyone figures out how I gave it a skin and a start button.

You used photoshop and painted the wallpaper?

Correct

Ubuntu 8.04

Theme: Murrina Colors

I have posted all links, scripts and information about it on my blog so you can copy it.

Really slick desk PrimoTurbo, nice change from the normal Gnome desks.

conky bar looks MUCH better in that second shot primo.

Clean on Deviantart

Info on the pages.

LOL I've got to sign up at deviantart to view your 'clean' desktop, as it's labelled 'mature content'
Brilliant!

Nice, thanks.

Oooh, thanks!

I was looking for some ideas on adding weather into conky

I rarely come in here, but a smooth desktop

Inspirational!

*installs fluxbox*

It's openbox not fluxbox, I haven't tried fluxbox yet.

All the *boxes are fundamentally the same, when it comes to the Window Manager part. Fluxbox supports icons in the menus, which Openbox did not when I last checked. (I prefer a simple icon to help distinguish my apps easily)

Fluxbox bundles their panel, fbpanel, whereas Openbox is ala-carte and does not come with one by default. You pick your own, and are free to use fbpanel, or pypanel or whatever one you choose. (in reality, I am pretty certain a fluxbox user could replace fbpanel with pypanel or other such utility)

There is much more in common than there are differences, but for some, those differences are deal-breakers (like menus with icons for me).

My "Green" June...

Haha yeah, it's not really cause you can't even see a lot but just incase cause they're pretty uptight there.

Here is my June 2008. Back to nice comfortable Gnome. Daily 300+mb updates for KDE4 was getting to be too much for me Arch Linux as usual. Too lazy to go find details, if anyone is actually interested just ask.

My Work dekstop, running XP in vm (hence the shortcut on the desktop).
