GNU / Linux September 2008 Desktops - Posting Guidelines

* If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it under 100k (It's recommended that you link it, externally).

* 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.

* In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

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

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

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

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.

Important Note: Any image posted that is over 800 x 600 will be removed! Use a thumbnail or use a text link to your image. If your image is removed, this is why.

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...

Found it in this thread:

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

    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
