Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread

[Habitual]

While I am not as artistically gifted as mmesantos1, here's my latest "aha" moment. A transparent gnome-panel! It's a big deal to me.

I like what you did there. Clean and simple yet functional. Can you post your conky configuration?

I'm puzzled now....I have an AWN dock with a CPU temperature applet and a weather applet - I don't have anything else
Maybe you mixed me up with someone else?
