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".

Cute kid! He your son, Mark?

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.

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
