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.

^^ 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?

Some of these desktops look amazing, I really have to get round to putting Linux on my machine sometime.

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...

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?

586478919[/snapback]

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.

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.

[msg43]

^^

is there possible a website that you know of?

Do you know the offical project name?

Does --help or --version give you anything useful? I want to know what how to get that program lol

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.

[d0ogie]

wow, that is a good looking KDE desktop. SuSE has been the only distro I've gotten to be halfway stable on KDE.

[kevcart3]

Yes, very nice desktop!

[tr4nce]

Openbox & Engage

[theotherdave]

tr4nce, what panel are you using there? Great shot btw ^^

/me goes off to see what he can do about aquiring it
