Gotta change the wallpaper since Christmas is over, but gotta wait till some of you start posting your sweet wallpapers for me to use :D

I do have one question, I wanta go back to Firefox.. But I have gotten sooo used to chrome's look/layout, and I know I have seen alot of people having their firefox look just like it.. Can anyone point me to the right direction of finding all the addons/styles/whatever else I need in order to make it look like chrome?

Thanks

Seems to be Windows. Unless conky is reading "C:" and "D:" from the .wine directory. :shiftyninja:

P.S. How is Xubuntu treating you?

copiers :whistle:

If you want me to upload all my wallpapers (about 1GB) just ask :) .... Although I'd need someone to host them because i really cba making multiple archives then putting on rapidshare or something.

Ubuntu 8.10 with AWN and Discovery icons. GTK Theme is Nodoka Gilouche, very cool :)

Oh, and if compiz is a bit much for you, just try the metacity compositor (Gconf: apps --> Metacity --> General --> compositing_manager) - doesn't have any 3D effects, but adds shadows and, more importantly, let's you run compositor stuff like AWN.

Here's, not much different than default, though I am still experimenting with customization. Still can't figure out how to change icons properly :p

Download icon sets from gnome-look.org save to desktop, install in desktop properties under theme tab, by clicking on install button.

what file extension should it be when installing?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out, thanks.

I know you figured this out, but just a hint -- file extensions mean next to nothing in linux. They are only a hint to the user at what the file is. Three files, test, test.sh, and test.wtf could all do the exact same thing.
