It's my first attempt for an OS other than Windows. :p

I treid to make use of gDesklets or gkrellms, but both of them are so ugly compared to Windows widget applications such as AveDesk or Konfabulator.

Can anyone recommend good widget software for Ubuntu?

Anyway, don't make fun of n00b's desktop!!

Quite pretty desktop :) . You can try superkaramba or torsmo. anyways if some of existing gDesklets doesn't look pretty enaugh you can make new ones/edit existing ones.

Welcome to the Open Source Desktop thread, Joseph! :D

Your desktop is nice-looking. I am rather partial to light grey desks, as you can see by my post in this thread, here.

Lots of friendly *nix people here (and just a few cranky ones to make it interesting)! ;)

Thanks, I'm loving the anti-alising effect on Ubuntu!

I will try superkaramba or torsmo when I login to Ubuntu later. :laugh: (I'm on XP right now)

Thanks!

Following your link, I realized that I violated several rules. :blush: Sorry.

I've already got a lot of helpful informations from this section, of course, including yours.

I hope I improve enough to make it to Ubuntu hoary! (I reinstalled Ubuntu because of that, LOL)

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
