A somewhat different screenshot to my last..

fluxbox using the FluxAqua theme (thanks for the link, mark)

Wallpaper is something from Deviant Art --> Wallpapers --> Abstract (a section worth checking, and PM me if you want the actual file)

Using Eterm -x --buttonbar=0 --scrollbar=0 -0 to get a completely transparent, borderless console.

^^^ I see London.

I see France.

I see someone's...

I.P. Address. :o

I dunno if you are sensitive to this info, but if you are, you might want to edit your screenshot. ;)

^^ You are using gedit for editing your config files?  I switched to nedit a few months ago, it is much lighter and quicker.

Thanks for the recommendation. I downloaded nedit.. not sure if I'll get on with it. The interface is a bit too windows 3.1 like for me... (not sure if it's a good comparison, lol - but it looks old... :p) Is it themeable? I'm open to other suggestions too..

I also don't find gedit to be particularly bloated.. maybe because if I'm editing a config file I won't be doing much more than playing music.

and mark, as you use Flux Aqua, which gtk theme do you use to go along with it, or are you not too bothered about getting them to match?

From what was gathered earlier when this was discussed, it seems that it uses OpenMotif. I looked into it, and it seemed that theming it was a lot of work...

Most of the matching between KDE and Gnome types of apps has already been done in Fedora, from what I can tell. I didn't to anything special, and they are similar on my box. I was happy with the defaults provided.
Marshalus

what gtk theme?

Edit:

seethru were can I find that linuxinfo program?

I got it through apt-get, I don't know about arch linux or where you'd get it.

Very excited about Breezy, enough so that I grabbed a daily iso and installed it yesterday. Had an issue w/ DHCP but it actually ended up being my router dying on me. So far so good, things are smooth, and theres lots of subtle changes that I'm enjoying in 5.10.

^^

Must say that is one of the nicest KDE desktops I've seen in a long time. Is the system tray Superkaramba?

Everything on the desktop (excluding the icons and amaroK of course) is a Karamba/SuperKaramba module. The dock/taskbar, systray, sysinfo panel, clock, calendar, weather, all karamba/superkaramba.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
