Your desktops should be used as publicitary shots for Linux, they always look great.

**** Linux.

LOL... is that plain vanilla OpenSolaris or the Nexanta distro?

Nevermind, I see it is OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_11.

Ok, for OpenSolaris then.

Too bad getting it looking anything like that takes a LOT of effort. I've tried and given up numerous times - just not worth the effort. Even the one-button Ubuntu gfx driver install never worked.

Yeah, downloading a decent wallpaper and getting a one-click-installable gtk theme and icon theme from gnome-look.org takes a LOT of effort.

Installed one GTK theme, one Emerald theme and one icon theme. Ain't no rocket science.

You're probably confused by the abundance of really ****ty themes for the various components. You'll just have to filter all **** out and then try to mix and match what looks good, to see if it actually fits. --edit: And proper fonts. A ****ty font ruins everything immediately.

I've gotta quote this for truth. Even if a theme looks like crap, a good font can save it.

Verrrry nice xp1ode! Mind sharing certain details? I'm especially interested in gtk-theme, icon-theme, and how you got that mac-esque bar at the top!

I not a big dock fan but here's my desktop

Same as last months,i rarely change it lol

GW! I spent a lot of effort to run that on wine, but alas! - intel integrated gfx means minimal 3d support no matter what you do

no prob, the gtk-theme is a modded version of Wasp, icon theme is here and the gnome-global-menu you can find it in this thread

Yeah Luckily I have an Nvidia card, but my hubby ran GW in Play On Linux with intel integrated only for a while you might wanna give that a try. Of course he eventually bought a new Video card.

new ubuntu install. Just got the CD in the mail today

Christ man!

I hope you're not stalking me. I shouldn't have left my .vimperatorrc aliases in the public domain

Nice color scheme and text colors.

I've just gone back to *nix after ages, and I am going to stick with it. Here is my desktop on my netbook (Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04)

AfterStep (Window Manager)
Background was freebee from digitalblasphemy

AfterStep... now that's what I call old school. I remember using AS for a while when I first tried SuSE 5.something back in 1999.

Ha! Ha! Ha!,
Yes you are right sir, "old school", I started w/ AfterStep back around
1996 or 1997 (on my Red Hat 5.1 Manhattan) and I keep coming
back to it.
It's tough to teach an old dog new tricks

Shiny new Arch install, very impressed thus far.
