My New Linux Mint LMDE desktop

[tdockery97]

That's sharp, Tom.

What DE are you using?

Ha Ha.

not terribly different than some of my others...

xplanetFX plays nice with DE

Wow- so many fantastic setups. My desktop feels so terribly bland now!

But I don't know... I often tinker with my desktop for an hour and make it pretty pretty, and then find it makes me crazy when I actually try to use it. I setup and tear down at least one dock a month!


So far, this duck is my favorite. But I've only browsed to page 4.

I like to think my desktop is serious busines...

PS - that's possibly a goose.

I like it kind of dark.

Another install on my Aspire one netbook

Hi Omns,

Can I ask how you have made you mint menu transparent? I've googled this and can't find a how to.
I'm using LM10 Gnome (and I'm not sure if this is a limiting factor, though I don't know why it would be as LMDE also uses Gnome).

Many thanks.


Sorry, think I have found it!

This can be set in the preferences of each item.
Right click the Menu icon, select Preferences, select the <Options> tab and the Opacity setting is at the bottom.
Open a terminal, select the Edit menu item, select Profile Preferences, select the Background tab and the Transparency slider is at the bottom.

Well, I am new here (to Mint, not linux) and thought this a great place for a first post.

@ z3r0_k00l Welcome to Mint, the forum, and the thread. With those customizations it's apparent you are not new to linux. Good job.

@whorider, I agree with Louis, that is a nice job.

Hi all.

Being almost new to Linux (tried Ubuntu for a week, a couple of years ago) and very new to LMDE, I just wanted to show my desktop after running LMDE for a couple of days.

Nothing fancy, just getting to know Conky and a million other free Linux applications, love playing around

-

I think LMDE will be my primary OS from now on - just love it!

I think I will write a bit about my experience installing and customizing LMDE some day

Welcome Henrik,

I like the brushed look to the wallpaper, and also the tidy, organized Conky.

[Henrik K Kristensen]

Thank you... just learning this Conky thing, so it changes all the time

Henrik,
very nice conky and wallpaper and in general very nice and "clean" setup.

LMDE is quite awesome. Here is the wallpaper I'm using.

[lKingjr]

well here's something

Here's my old thinkpad X41 desktop:

@ lKingjr, yes, as someone in the other thread said, those are very nice icons (buttons) did you design them? I have made a few icons using inkscape, but never a set for any purpose. What I did was make a few to use in Rocket Dock back when I was still using WinXP.

@ pintas, you desktop comes together very well.
