[markwolfe Veteran]

bluh XFCE desktops are so cool, but its to hard for me to install it.

Hard?

Did you try apt-get install xfce (or whatever equivalent command is for your distro)?

[Alex Shenoy]

hey mark, I tried e17. It is .... <wait for it> ... AAAAWWWWWESSOOOOMMMEEEE!!!!!! It's incredibly nice. I loved it, but it wasn't stable enough for me. So, I moved back to flux for a while. Might give PekWM a try or see if I can't figure out FVWM. Whichever works.

I've found E17 to be a lot of eye candy with not so comfortable usage. I just can't get the feel of it. FVWM/XFCE are better. Trying to get away from Gnome/KDE to something more lightweight. ;)

Just installed Ubuntu 5.10 so I thought I'd post the nice new clean desktop. So far so good...

[ichi]

Gentoo linux

Enlightenment 0.17 (Clean-e17 theme)

Rox-filler (icons from some Matrix icon pack).

MPlayer (Corner skin)

Eterm (unsuccessfully trying to convert some mov videos from my trip to Japan to a PSP compatible format).

Milk gtk theme.

PS: just solved the problem with mov->mp4 files.

^^^ For me, it became a "Sessions" option at my gdm login screen.

me too :) I've also been trying for soemthing more lightweight than gnome and kde, i tried e17, very nice looking.. but i jsut didn't find it useable.. which kinda defeats the purpose... I find xfce to be the perfect DE, very useable, no bloat of KDE or gnome

The only thing that ever changes are which apps I have open, and what background is shown (it selects randomly from a directory holding 8 or so images when I log in).

But, here it is:

Distro: Fedora

WM: Fluxbox (featuring the use of title-bar tabs in gaim)

WM Style: Flux-aqua (link)

Wall: my new love, Evangeline Lilly (from Lost) :wub:

Oh... And disregard which Neowin member I am warning in the warning control panel shown in that Firefox tab. :shifty:

Link? Possibly, hope this works.

Wallpaper did used to have some copyright stuff but i removed it, I just found it on a google image search for vectors or something like that.

Using RoberTO's Milk 2.1,

Icon pack, I got it from the last link in the linux theming resources topic.

Looks like gnome panel using transparent background with shortcut links in it.

I really wish the would make the bars on the side of the panels transparent-able too.
