* Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be.

* If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.

* Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.

* The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post images of a pornographic or otherwise provocative nature. We do not support a babes forum and neither will we in an unofficial capacity. Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.

* The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Rules.

Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

* Please use reduced-size thumbnails, where possible, out of respect for people running on lower bandwidth or screen resolutions.

Using KDE this month. :p

  • OS: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) 64-bit
  • Themes: Dark Blue Color Scheme, Polyester everything.
  • Wallpaper: Same one as used in some previous shot from some site that I can't remember anymore.
  • Icons: Cystal SVG (Don't like them much myself)

Think that's about it. :)

^ That's a cool desk! How stable is the 7.10 beta?

Pretty damn stable for a beta hear, haven't run into any bugs yet. Final Comes out really soon anyway though

which fonts are u using? please, post a screenshot of ur font preferences window

I'm pretty sure that's Tahoma...

From what I know, Gutsy is supposed to have a new font smoothening method, so probably that's the reason why it looks so good.

edit: And for the terminal... just guessing, but it could be a small "monospace" (around 7pt)

Everything is Luxi Sans besides the console font, which is Consolas as you can see. :)

Yes the beta does have new and much improved font rendering, I love it, I have always disliked linux's font rendering so much.

    • I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.
    • I do apologize to the author Mr. Sen for my rude comment, questioning his knowledge of the subject. It is I whom lacked knowledge of the subject. Sorry!

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
