I am taking the dive into Linux finally. Installed it on an old PC until I am comfortable to move it to my main machine.

Nothing too fancy yet, just default Gnome UI without the flash as my old ATI 9600 is not a fan of the flashy effects.

Complete guess just by looking at the screenshot.. LiteStep or a similar alternate shell maybe? Kind of reminds me of the *Box look and feel, ish.

Yea as Max said, LiteStep, just couldn't think of the name. Shell was what I was looking for.

What theme is that, wvcaudill2? Looks "glowey" :p

This look is sort of a mix-&-match between different things already installed.

The Widget Style is "oxygen-transparent"

The color scheme is "Obsidian Coast"

Icons are also from the Oxygen Team

Desktop Theme is called "Air" I think

I forget where the wallpaper came from

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
