Excellent! Any ideas how to get rid of the resize grip?

Open your Home folder
Press CTRL+H to reveal ‘hidden’ files
Locate the file named ‘.gtkrc-2.0′ (or create it if it is not there)
Right click on it and open with Gedit/text editor
Add the following code:

Code: Select all

style "default-style"
{
  GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0
  GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0
}

class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"

Seeing some pretty sweet Gnome 3 desktops starting to appear... I have myself just installed it (used a site explaining how to for Ubuntu) and now have to start looking into making it look as awesome as some of the ones on here...

LinuxMint-9 LTS Fluxbox Edition

Upgraded the kernel to 2.6.39
Firefox-4.0
tint2 and Conky

I am usually, an Xfce fanatic, but I love Openbox, as well.
Now, trying to learn about Fluxbox.
Surprisingly, Fluxbox is extremely well documented and has some great Wiki/Wiki pages.
Just as easy to customize as Openbox is. Light and super-fast.

I, for one, would love to see a Fluxbox and/or Openbox editions of LMDE.

Some nice work vrkalak, love the conky as well.

If you are familiar with how easy and fast Openbox works ... try Fluxbox.

I am finding Fluxbox to be easier to use and configure than Openbox.
And with Flux, I even have true 'transparent' right-click menus.
The Fluxbox 'right-click' menu is self-updating.

Wow, I love that fluxbox desktop. Hmm, I have totally newbie question: If I install fluxbox on LMDE, fluxbox option will appear in loginmenu and everything on my gnome desktop stays the same?

gnome-shell 3 on OpenSUSE.

I added a custom Applications Menu (an extension actually) to the standard top.panel. And it even works.

I am going after moving the "notification area" back to the top panel where it belongs and remove the bottom panel altogether.

Before or after that a transparent top panel.

Looks horrible - and its OpenSUSE you say? I thought this was an "Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread".

It looks pretty cool to me! We also unofficially post other distros here too. I appreciate seeing what can be done with Gnome Shell Habitual. Very cool!

I Like! what dock are you using? also what icon theme and window theme? i might try to emulate similar

[Wallfisher]

I've reworked my desktop a bit. LM 10 with XFCE, AWN at the top, sysmonitor from screenlets package. Changed background. I use Dolphin or Konqueror as my file manager.

Considering you "just got here from Ubuntu", you don't get to have an opinion for 800 more posts.
And in case you missed the start of the movie, ALL my desktops look exactly the same. Every distro, every time.

Consider yourself on Double Secret Probation.
