GNU / Linux October 2009 Desktops - Posting Guidelines


* If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it under 100k (It's recommended that you link it, externally).

* Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be.

* If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.

* Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.

* The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post images of a pornographic or otherwise provocative nature. We do not support a babes forum and neither will we in an unofficial capacity. Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.

* The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Rules.

* In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Themes: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

* Please use reduced-size thumbnails, where possible, out of respect for people running on lower bandwidth or screen resolutions.

Important Note: Any image posted that is over 800 x 600 will be removed! Use a thumbnail or use a text link to your image. If your image is removed, this is why.

The thing is, you can always install Openbox in Ubuntu and get a similar thing. To get the similar setup, you'll also need titn2 panel, conky, and some other programs, but it's basically just that.

Having said that, I was too lazy to do it myself, even though I'm sure I might give it a try someday. And that's the beauty of CrunchBang, comes preconfigured and saves you a lot of the work.

And so many amazing apps! Most of the software it comes with I always end up installing anyway, it just makes sense to start with #! in the first place. Especially the terminal apps section, makes you wonder how you survived without it before.

Edit: Decided to add my own screens, even though its pretty much default #!. What can I say it suits my taste exactly.

P.S. Ootput, what are you playing?

Wow, very nice! Could you please share the darkroom gtk theme, I can't seem to find it anywhere... Also, how did you get transparency in your gtk theme? Is that something exaile-specific or is it proper transparency for everything gtk?

DarkRoom comes with Ubuntu, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere. I'm not sure how to share the color scheme, I think I've seen people sharing some text file with color values which you can apply. If I figure it out, I'll post it, you might get similar results with other GTK themes.

Oh and yeah, the other thing is Exaile only sad.gif

Just installed XUbuntu then changed over to LXDE. Quite fast, very much enjoying it. Runs smoothly on a 500MHz, and 128 megs of ram.
Still lots to play with though.
