Just reinstalled Ubutnu 8.04 and I'm back to loving Linux. I had been messing around with OSx86 for a while and there wasn't really anything that made learning the intricacies of a new operating system worth it. The novelty of running OS X on my Dell was great but with no wireless support and huge problems getting my graphics card running and the amount of time I spent fixing problems just wasn't worth it. When you consider I get full hardware support out of the box and can configure Ubuntu to emulate what I liked most about OS X then which is better for me is obvious.

Clean (I covered up anything that could have been considered NSFW)

Xfce

Xfwm4 (Katiola WM theme)

Theme is Nova-Blue

Running Fedora 8

I set workspace margins up so I could access the desktop menu without a panel button while windows are maximized.

I found the wall on 4chan when I was bored one day.

Oh and does anyone know how to change the layer that the Xfce panel appears on? I looked round on the interwebs a bit and apparently that option was taken out to improve focus management or something. Is there a config file somewhere I can edit to get around that?

Wow Primo Turbo, that is one kick-ass combination of metacity+gtk. I can't find the specific edit of the window borders, nor the gtk theme at all. Any way you'll share them? ty

I'm not finished with my desktop yet, I might post later in this thread.

It appears the filename of the metacity and the actual name are different. Here is the metacity - http://ebupof.deviantart.com/art/Shiftie-Bred-81324382

Clearlooks-colors contains Murrine Brave.

Well I guess you learn something every day, especially while using linux. I was trying to figure out how to get a good print screen with no terminal or other program showing with the ability to choose the filetype of the screenshot of it and stumbled upon ksnapshot, I recommend it to anyone who was in the same position I was in :p

Lets see your desktop :D You still on fluxbox?

Sure am. Fluxbox... :wub:

Switched from Fedora to (X)ubuntu a few months ago, but everything is pretty much the same for me.

Lots of Linux torrents seeding in Transmission (running decoration-less) and Pidgin is also running decoration-less. Those two apps I typically have pinned to all desks, though I don't switch desktops very much at all. Conky running as my resource monitor. The "messy" pic is how my PC typically looks. I have a few terminal sessions opened, and these I keep tabbed together in the same window. Not sure if Gnome's window manager allows tabbing like this, but the title bar is sectioned and clickable to display whatever docked window I dragged into the tabbing feature (you can tab completely dissimilar apps together, if you like). My wall is almost always some girl or another that attracts my eye, typically with exposed flesh. Good thing that the Transmission window is where it is. ;)

That desk looks sweet! Would you mind posting links to where you found your GTK and Metacity themes? I have searched google but can't seem to find the same ones.

^^^ Just for your info, you left the email contact info for "Jody" un-blurred. Not sure if that was an oversight, given your blurring of other such data in your screenshot.

Damn! She won't thank me for that! Thanks for pointing that out to me Mark, but looks like I can't edit my post now anyway. :rolleyes:

I posted the exact links on the first page, a bit after my first post.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
