No NR, I made this up myself thus: GTK2 = clearlooks Metacity = default human but customised with the dark blue colour. Icons = human blue from gnome-look Mouse cursor (can't see it in the screenie) = downloaded the fedora bluecurve rpm and converted it to deb with alien. Googled ubuntu wallpaper and stumbled upon the wallpaper. At the bottom is just a transparent panel with some launchers. I didn't realise there was actually an ubuntublue theme! I'm even more proud of myself for creating this now. I love it. As an aside I forgot how good a full install of the official ubuntu is. I'm leaning towards replacing arch permantly on my desktop with this.
A slight variation. Now with transparent panel, new wallpaper and updated conky. My new found love for ubuntu and gnome continues. Makes me wonder why I messed around with Arch, netinstalls, WMs etc when it was all so easy. Even the missus is getting on with ubuntu - has to be a good sign!
I really must get up the courage to try Conky one day - nicer than GKrellM. Not really a Firefox user but had nothing much to do so decided to post screenie.
Here's a few shots of my desktop as I experiment with Karmic. First is my current desktop and 2 previous iterations below.
A fairly unspectacular KDE 4.3.2 on my Arch install. Though I must say the KDE guys have worked miracles with this release, it's very smooth.
Nice to see that KDE can actually look good and work good too. I think the way some distros incorporate KDE into their distro is abysmal
Is this KDE-Mod or the default KDE repo? Also, what theme is that for KDE & Firefox? I rather like KDE4 only I'm having trouble with resizing gtk app fonts, and sluggish performance with Firefox
No need for kdemod nowdays L815. KDE in Arch is now modular anyway and you can install whatever components you wish. See here:- http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE_Packages pacman -Sy gtk-kde4 is what you want for gtk fonts. It drops an option in systemsettings and then you can change gtk themes and fonts. I use verdana from the ttf-ms-fonts package. I use the old plastique theme for kde with slightly modded colours and silicon plasma theme. Firefox theme is strata reloaded. If you've got the time just keep playing, you'll end up with something you love eventually.
For anyone who's interested I found a great (imo) ubuntu cursor theme here:- http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntaero - Aero based w+ animated logo?content=108598 It's based on aero which I like, it even has a drop shadow. Just a little something to sex up your desktop if you so wish.
my desktop setup hasn't changed from the picture i took on the first page. it hasn't changed for about 3 years, i really need to do a reinstall with something a bit newer lol.
You can get folder views in gnome with screenlet. Just a gimmick - it does work nicely though. Had to reduce quality due to upload limit.
Hah - you will soon be a Linux fan. BTW. In CSM under Cube Reflection+Deformation check your Aspect ratio settings (for Sphere). I think like me you have a widescreen monitor. (and Zoom in Cube Rotate)
Yeah, you are probably right I'll have to check and play with those settings a bit later. BTW, nice graphics on your ss.
