To those that hate gnome 3 ; why not try mate? Mint and arch can easily get it installed, it's a continuation of Gnome2.

Anyway, my RPi is currently distcc-compiling 44 things so I'll screenshot when that's finished :)

xfce is pretty nice these days too, its what I've been using on my arch partition:

XFCE 4.10 with compiz/emerald

Zukitwo GTK2/3/emerald/panel background

Dockbar X with "invisible" and dockxyz themes.

I love Nextstep's UI! I'm going to have to try this out! How did you get the time/date/system specs widgets? Is it conkey? What theme?

Hi mate,

WindowMaker has always been an old favourite of mine from a decade ago - it was the 2nd WM I'd ever tried and I remember having pretty much all of the available dockapps loaded. Gkrellm could never be as pretty.

What you're seeing is indeed Conky. The.conkyrc can be found in my github repo (in signature), and it's someone else's creation - though I haven't the foggiest who. I modified it to pipe text from a Google Calendar tool.

Cheers

My latest one. I'm slowly customizing it the way I want it to be. Not happy that the dock icons look crappier the smaller the dock gets :/

Click to view in original resolution...hopefully Imageshack won't screw up the image.

Hey, what cairo dock theme is that? I've never really used cairo dock because all the theme's I've found look so guady, but that looks nice. been looking for a new dock program as I've been having bugs with all the other's I've tried recently (awn, docky, plank, dockbarx)

Well, it's just the default theme. I chose dock style as '3d plane' and in appearances tab made the background and separator background completely transparent.... it looked crappy with those on lol.

Make them transparent and it'll look like mine does above.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By monterxz · Posted

      For some reason when EU forced Microsoft to allow users to change the default browser and search provider in Windows (also no ads for Office and the likes) - it was good. But when it comes to Apple - then it's bad. BTW, Apple would have gone out of business if Microsoft wasn't pressed by US government several decades ago. 😉
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.
