[piratesmack]

Definitely not - unless you have freezing temperatures in your room
(Can of course not be below room temperature )

haha true

Sorry, wasn't thinking...

Anyway, new desktop:

[badmotor]

well i thought it was funny.

My brother just bought a laptop with Vista on it, and after a day or so asked me "... so .... about this Linux thing you are using...." apparently has locked up on him many times. We'll see if we can get Mint on there.

My current Elyssa desktop

[red-e-made]

Here's mine. The larger, numbered stars are actually separate partitions. Also running Rainlendar2 and Cairo Clock. I used to use Cairo Dock, but despite how pretty it looks I just got tired of it overlapping or resizing my browser, so now I have my panel loaded with applications.

My Desktop
Record webradio with Rhythmbox. I have four backgrounds with the same theme (spring, summer, autumn, winter)

I reckon it's Cairo Dock.

How does one make such exotic decktops

I'd be interested in knowing what that system/cpu/network monitor app running on Saokonim's desktop is called.

conky, I prefer screenlets though, conky flickers if you have compiz enabled (Load "dbe" did not cut it for me).

I got rid of Rainlendar after discovering it uses more memory than my torrent client

So here's the new desktop - the larger, numbered stars are my data partitions.

Really, its working absolutely fine for me?

Works fine for me, too, but how are you getting that transparent interface on your desktop?

CCSM - General Options - Opacity Settings tab, click on New, then add this:

Code: Select all

Tooltip | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu

If you want the Dock/Panel to be transparent as well, add one with just dock in it
And conky flickered all the time for me, Load "dbe" did improve it somewhat, but still terribly annoying, so I just went for Screenlets instead

Gave me more options

Conky was working just fine for me, but after seeing screenlets, I'm going that way instead. Thanks for the tip!

No problems, they work best if you have Compiz enabled though, I have heard they look pretty ugly without it

I've got all kinds of Compiz enabled, and the sysmonitor screenlet looks great after some tweaking. Here's a link to a screenshot of my new desktop:

That is a really good looking desktop. Where did you get that background from?

+1 to that, i'd also want that wallpaper.

I found out. It is easy. Just right click- select set as wallpaper , you got it.
Of course yyo can get many more on GNOME-look.org
Njoy it
