GNU / Linux January 2010 Desktops Thread


Recommended Posts

I finally upgraded to Karmic a few days ago. It's awesome :)

Elementary theme (icons, gtk colors, emerald) -- thanks to srn and others who pointed me to this great theme. Docky in 3D mode with grayscale theme, custom panel clock, and a custom nowplaying (since I couldn't get nowplaying screenlet nor gloobus preview to work with Exaile 0.3.x, I made a combination of a simple conky script and Exaile's own desktop cover plugin). I have no idea where I got the wallpaper from.

Click on a workspace to see its screenshot:

Haahaha, I love your wallpapers, but this one gets extra points. Could you share it?

Thanks! :)

Yessir - here you go.

I use Ubuntu as a web development environment (tools and server) through vmware workstation 7. Normally I use the Unity feature, so I don't really see the Linux desktop that often.

I used Linux mainly because I have had bad experiences with Windows :(

can anyone tell me what docks are mainly being used in everyones desktop here?

Im new to linux :alien:

The big three: Docky, AWN, Cairo-Dock. Aforementioned wbar is very light, and should come in handy if you're using an older computer.

I personally use Docky in my Gnome session, but it's still in alpha, and features are being added daily (it used to be a part of Gnome-Do, an absolutely amazing application launcher, so right now they're going through transitions, and not all of the docklets have made it yet), and AWN in my Compiz-Standalone session, because it can replace the default panels completely.

This is my desktop. It's the gnome environment with AWN as the dock and Conky as the system monitor. Audacious2 is the media player and I took the screenshot while using Pidgin to talk to my brother on Google Talk.

^Is that Conky you're using (upper part of the screen)? I was thinking about removing AWN completely, but it'd confuse my housemates, still I'd like to give living taskbar/dock-less a shot.
