GNU / Linux June 2009 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.

Too bad getting it looking anything like that takes a LOT of effort. I've tried and given up numerous times - just not worth the effort. Even the one-button Ubuntu gfx driver install never worked.

Yeah, downloading a decent wallpaper and getting a one-click-installable gtk theme and icon theme from gnome-look.org takes a LOT of effort.

Installed one GTK theme, one Emerald theme and one icon theme. Ain't no rocket science.

You're probably confused by the abundance of really ****ty themes for the various components. You'll just have to filter all **** out and then try to mix and match what looks good, to see if it actually fits. --edit: And proper fonts. A ****ty font ruins everything immediately.

Verrrry nice xp1ode! Mind sharing certain details? I'm especially interested in gtk-theme, icon-theme, and how you got that mac-esque bar at the top!

no prob, the gtk-theme is a modded version of Wasp, icon theme is here and the gnome-global-menu you can find it in this thread

:o GW! I spent a lot of effort to run that on wine, but alas! - intel integrated gfx means minimal 3d support no matter what you do :)

Yeah Luckily I have an Nvidia card, but my hubby ran GW in Play On Linux with intel integrated only for a while you might wanna give that a try. Of course he eventually bought a new Video card.
