Yes MintyFree I was messing around with GnoMenu, first time trying it. Its ok but not something I will stick with.

Love LM

Been messing with gnome-shell. It is very interesting.

thank you mmesantos1..

My latest theme, trying to keep it simple. Not bothering with AWN or Conky b/c I'm using Mint 7 Gloria XFCE right now and am waiting for Mint 9 Isadora XFCE (or I might go Debian, not sure >>)

Been messing with gnome-shell. Its is very interesting.

Somehow I just knew that gnome shell could be made to look col.

Thanks Exploder, have you checked out Gnome Shell yet? Very different but interesting.

Not yet, have to reinstall gnome on one of my machines. My Mint 9 install did not hold up to an nvidea driver update and I was waiting a while to make sure it was resolved.

Sorry to hear you were having issue with Video drivers. Never fun. You'd think they could fix something so important.

I installed all of the updates then activated the drivers, now it's working alright. I had to manually fix the resolution for Plymouth because my monitor has a higher resolution than any included in the tools.

I am glad to hear you got it working. Nothing more frustrating than video issues.

My latest mess around. It's the wild-shine theme and background with a Tigris window border. And some rgba thrown in for good measure. So glad I could blur the windows, transparency without blurring is horrible.

Thanks guys

I just installed Mint 9 on my desktop and am hard at work configuring it. I'll post a screenie when I'm done.

One question tho:

Is there a tutorial somewhere where I can make conky look as kool as your guys'? That'd be the perfect icing on my desktop! thank you!
