Havn't posted my desktop for a couple of months, mainly because I don't change it that often. But I pimped it out the other night, so enjoy! :)

As someone else said, it's called emesene. It can be found at www.emesene.org

I recommend you use the SVN.

My desktop looks the same as last month, so I'll post my laptop instead.

It's E17 on kubuntu 7.04

Couldn't edit my post so I have to post up again I guess.

All themed up:

Very nice, can I get details on theme/wall and icons plz :)

[springofdark]

Hi :)

Desktop is here for now:

http://www.alazanto.org/wrvisuals/screenshots/sgstriped.jpg

Running Feisty with Compiz Fusion and Avant Window Navigator. The fonts have been tweaked with the sub-pixel rendering update in freetype.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670

Theme is Fawn (tweaked menu bar) and Reuben with the buuf icons and several png dock icons from deviantart.

My modification of Fawn is attached...this version is identical to the publicly available one, but the menus have a brown background. This will not look right without the gtk mac menu hack.

Also employing the mac menu hack. In firefox I installed the hide menu bar add-on to keep things somewhat consistent.

So how did you get the cool pattern on it? :D

[springofdark]

Oh, I am sorry about the mixup. I overwrote the wrong file on my server space. Now it is updated, but more true to what was in the description. Could you elaborate about the pattern?

What font are you using?

[iamjfarrell]

I would kill to have these desktops! I have been trying for about 3 days if not more like 5 hours or more each day trying to get this stupid Compiz crap to work. I feel like I have tried everything and I am probably going to have to wait for Gusty Gibbon :no:

Uninstall: just install the original gtk package back, or use the environment variable GTK_MENUBAR_NO_MAC=1 to temporarily disable it.

Font: Just Bitstream Vera Sans. It's a very nice font when rendered a bit truer to its form.

Making Compiz work: I ended up following this tutorial. http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/art..._ubuntu_feisty/

I'm not sure if I could be of much help to you, but the main hiccup I ran into was in not having the latest nvidia driver. Envy did a nice job in taking care of that part. Beyond that, I am assuming you've posted on the ubuntu forums...
