Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread

Nice Lou, I did transparent KDE. I still say it was you Lou.

okay, to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of KDE, mainly because it's harder to customize unless I missed something somewhere.
but I think this looks ok, so I'm posting it anyway (pretend it's Mint)

I used KDE for a while (Mandriva), still boot there once in a while just to refresh my eyes , and honestly never felt constraint customizing. Specially after i found Bespin, the options are almost endless.

Oh! I like the transparency, although I'm not sure it will work in VirtualBox. I will try it.

look REALLY awesome... how do you get it this kinda transparent? I only know the transparency point, where everything (so symbols and text too) get transparent.

Ok so used the wall before but switched to GTK Orta, icon ACYL. Like this look better.

just noticed you're using nautilus-elementary as well and was wondering if you're still able to change permissions to enclosed files? not sure it has to do with elementary but i noticed that when i hit the apply permissions to enclosed files button, the files in the folders don't change permission anymore

CaptHilts, i've had the same problem, but as i didn't chage permissions until i had switeched to elementary, i thought it as juts a fault with nautilus. I had to chagne the permission on all my old recovered files from root to my user and only after i had painstakingly changed each file, did i discover that the only way to change them is using chown -R or chmod, i forgot which now, i think chown.

Yea once i posted i thought about the terminal method as well cause i also tried the "each file at once"-method but i've got like a few thousand files in that folder so yea...you get the picture
i guess in the future i'll do without nautilus-elementary because i actually only installed it so i can use clutter view for my image folder...which looks great but frankly, after messing around with it the first few days...stopped using it.
on a sidenote...i'm thinking about switching to xfce cause version 4.8 looks really cool and the guys posting these awesome KDE pictures...well, difficult i never really got into KDE tho...speed-wise, any good?

Your welcome Leit, any time.

Todays look:

Not that big customization.
The GTK Theme is a KDE 4 lookalike, Docky at the bottom, and GlobalMenu in the top panel.
Wallpaper is Endoplasmic Reticulum by yours truly.
