Fedora doesn't like my Toshiba laptop for some reason. I can install Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu - anything but Fedora. It simply doesn't like it.

Well if I had to be "stuck" on a distro, Fedora would be one I could live with.

Similar to my June desktop, but I ditched the dock:

Arch Linux/XFCE 4.10/Compiz

Zukitwo GTK2/3/panel background

Faenza Icons

wallpaper: http://lassekongo83....83%2F21454&qo=1

How did you get your fonts to look so crisp and clean? Mine look like ass on Ubuntu (1920x1080, sub-pixel AA, slight hinting).

The only thing I ever change is my wallpaper. Right now, it's of myself, my girlfriend and my two bestfriends on the beach so nothing fancy.

how would one go about adding this to Ubuntu 12.04 ?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:no1wantdthisname/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then follow the instructions listed here.

Not very straight forward :/

Please can you tell me what you are using to achieve this look? Very nice desktop!

Cheers

Sure, why not :)

Grab this Gnome shell theme : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elementary+Lion?content=151329

Then download the GTK3 theme mod which is linked a few posts below, on that same page. Copy them both into your home folder/.themes and use Advanced settings to apply the GTK3 theme + Gnome shell theme.

Done.
