Acer Aspire One

Desktop behaviour is to have icons to minimised programs now.

EDIT: Just realised- look closely at the helmet or bum reflections and you might see the cameraman... or pixels :D

Dont suppose you want to share the wallpaper?

Cheers

This image is 1024x600, only works properly on the eeepc 90x and Acer Aspire One, really...

Thanks matey

I turned it into a 1650x1050 wallpaper. and smoothed it out of course due to increasing size.

Looks good, thanks so much

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Gnome 2.22.3

Using my own personal icon-theme, an awesome mash-up of Tango-style icons (called PeRfectO)

Got the wallpaper from deviantArt yesterday (brown for Ubuntu-mentality of course)

Metacity theme is called Shiftie_Black

fusion-icon is just running so I can turn on Compiz easily when friends come over so i can show off teh_Linuxxx

Desktop icons are mounted devices (currently just my iPod)

Sorry for low jpg quality - I'll upload a nicer screenshot once I get my fricking power-manager icon sorted out

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
