thx, btw

what does sleep 5s do? wait for 5 secs before taking the screenshot?

EDIT: I tried "sleep 5s; import -window root screenshot.jpg" but it says "import: command not found".

Yup. Thanks!

That is Jeffrey, and he is my #3 (out of 4) son. He was just over a year old in that pic - he is 4 now.

He is the one on the left. :p

Looks nifty. Would you be up for sharing the pixmaps to enable porting to other WMs?

I would be more than happy, but the only pixmaps are the close/min/max buttons. The rest is drawn on the fly so it adapts to your current GTK2 theme :)

Dom could you send my your ~/.icons folder and engage config? And what did you use for the Media Player I see in your Panel? And how the heck did you get Firefox so damn sexy?

I have to say that is THE best, really the BEST, Linux desktop I've seen!

Thanks guys for the comments, makes a guy feel good about his desktop :-p

Anyway, as for the questions about the desktop:

engage is launched as follows:

engage -s 64 -T 0 -I 1 -i 1 -W 1400 -H 250 -t none

xcompmgr is launched as follows:

xcompmgr -t -3 -l -12 -nc -r 8 -F

The icons are located at osx-e, they are all standard OS X icons, with the exception of the harddrive icon, which I found on deviantart, Im sorry I forgot the link :(

As for firefox, it's a milk theme. Again, I found it on deviant art about 6 months ago or longer and am not quite sure where it's at :(

As for the media player in the top bar, it's actually very simple but it's cool and very functional. Basically they are icons I made (not really made, 'stole' is a better word hehe :-p) and gave them the following commands:

rewind: xmms -r

pause: xmms -u

play: xmms -p

foward: xmms -f

You could do something similar for rhythmox if you use that, or probably any other media player for that matter.
