I know I posted this in the other desktop thread by accident but it belongs here as I use Linux

you gotta edit the colour numbers in the file called gtkrc or summin like that or the menubar file if you are using specific engines.
if the theme you use is a pixbuf engine. then just edit the menubar.png i think thats what its called. you can find all your installed themes in username/home/.themes <-- its a hidden folder.

I LOVE the way opensuse 11 looks by default so I just started up the suse live cd and ripped the themes/icons from it so I could use em in ubuntu.

Got my fonts as pcf files =)... only thing that blows is when gnome tries to make them italic, I guess I have to find a way to make real italics out of them. Still seeing whats good for the theme in some aspects before releasing

Something I am working on.

You use foobar2000 with Wine? Don't you find that it has awful sound quality?

Not really awful, but less quality than the windows counterpart... I just wish I could play the multichannel tracks I have and output them to the right speakers =( only stereo... its the only windows piece of software that I cant live without . I am pretty picky about sound quality too but its a sacrifice I have made to customize the player and manage my music

Only a few things changed... new wallpaper, new conky config, some stuff moved around.

Just switched to ubuntu before a couple of days, so not much customized, but it currently suits my needs any comments?

@CactuzJak
What is that bar at the bottom of your screen I'v been looking to try a figure out what it is. I'v seen it in other screenshots.

Looks cool, a lot more customised than mine and I've been a Linux user for about a year or something!

It's AWN, Avant Window Navigator, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator

Thanks a bunch CactuzJak!

Great looking desktop. My wife wanted it for her Ubuntu install. Found the GTK Luder themes on deviantart, but it was in a zip that wasn't recognized by the theme manager. Nor were the directories of theme data inside. I'll try to get it working on her computer again when I next get access to it, but wanted you to know that she really liked your desks a lot.

Ubuntu w/ gnome. Its a little cluttered right now...

That's cluttered? Anyways, I just posted mine a couple of days ago in June's thread haha so go there to see.

Unless there's resampling or other ****ery between the DirectSound sink in WINE and the ALSA output, there shouldn't be any issues with sound quality.

Sorry here are the links

couldnt you post links to the theme/wallpaper please.

I've been doing a fair bit of JavaScript lately. This screen shot is a pretty good summary of my month so far.

I can still see that one mounted partition says "WAREZ".

You could claim that it means short-speak for "where is?"


P.S. What kind of "warez" is there in Linux, anyhow?

wine emulated warez?

you can see what i says even with the blur, then its under the "places" menu again unblured

its obviously for a cracked version of cedega, to run cracked windows apps.

lol shh don't tell anyone

can't edit my previous post, grrr here is the 'clean' version
I hope we don't have any angry mods around here, lol



I deleted the old one

What is that IDE you use you program?

murderdoll just brightened up this thread.

10 fold.

You can (or at least you used to) install and run Cedega for free from CVS, all perfectly legal.

last one got deleted for some reason ;/

My new desktop:

decided to go back to the default human feel.

Default theme, Tangerine Icons, Slim Metacity.

I got Arch running in a VirtualBox with Windows XP. This is all on a 1.6Ghz system with 768 DDR RAM. I'm suprised on how stright forward everything is, every issue I had was due to something with VirtualBox like installing Guest Additions (I forgot to type mount /media/cdrom at some point and spent hours figuring it out). Then I had no sound, guess what VirtualBox sets sound off by default with the null setting, I spent at least 3 hours trying to break Arch figuring this out, it had nothing to do with arch. Anyways this was just a test run, I will be putting it on my system soon enough along with Ubuntu & Windows.

Also I can run perfect video playback with nearly no slowdowns in VirtualBox, I didn't think it was possible.

Running default, openbox & lxpanel with conky.

vim, but tweaked.

Is it possible to get this vim layout config file?

I'm using a slightly tweaked version of the ir_black colorsheme.

The file browser that you see in the left Vim window is NERD tree.

The "tabs" at the bottom are screen windows, styled by this line in my .screenrc:

caption always '%{= kw} %-Lw%{= Gk}%50> %n*%f %t %{= kW}%+Lw%< %{= kG}%-=%D %d %M %Y %c:%s%{-} '
