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

Checking Ubuntu after a long long time, just installed it yesterday. Sorry for the large size of the screenie, just click the image below to view in original full size.

Cheers!

This is marvelous.

I installed ubuntu on my parents pc a few day ago

and i only used it for 10/15 mins but i am tempted to switch to it, but if i mind right i had problems with the display

it ran fine on live cd but when installed i just got black screen

gonna go back and look at it though

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.

    • FWIW this whole 'universal printer driver' challenge has been around since the 1990's! Back in the day it was ADOBE that held the mantle via their portable document format (PDF) which provided the most fidelity between your-layout and your-printer's-capabilities. By the 2000s, Microsoft went with XML-defined formats -- namely XPS. Alongside the [possibly transient] format, and combined with USB standards, the document driver models were evolving. A new generation of hardware adopting different/outdated security models prevented Microsoft from 'forcing' the industry to utilize a single 'Universal' printer driver. Every major OS generation (and obsolescence of older hardware/vendors) moved the needle further along... until 3D Printers (esp. by mid-2010s) changed the maths again! While standard documents had attained sufficient compatibility across OS + printer scenarios (and the slow death of Fax support), there were two major shakers to the hopeful calm: open 3d model formats, and subscription-based printer resourcing (HP and Epson are mostly guilty here). With a sense of calm in the printing industries (whatever is left), there's hope for another push for standardized printer hardware drivers... until another printer hardware trend wrecks havoc and custom drivers become requirements...
    • Can you tell me what the difference between the Moto G and the Moto G Stylus is? They look similar.
