Princy, you are a braver soul than I. That's a pretty sweet picture, but having it as a desktop? I don't think I can look at it enough to stand that.

Your fake Vista is indeed preeeeeeeety.

I, too am running fake vista, and have a weather forecast to boot.

I too have been suckered into the fake-Vista. It is -fabby-. --Err...Ignore my obvious Equus fascination/obsession...

Scrambled Egg Machine, what theme are you running?

Scrambled Egg Machine · « **Reply #205 on:** 21 Feb 2007, 14:22 »

It says Windows XP (modified) under the the theme thing.

One of many, many, many, many, many Vista clones. They all pretty much do the same thing.

Also, here is my new deskie.

Vista wants to be OSX so badly. And that's not a bad thing.

Here's my desktop:

My Vista is real, however. I put off buying a laptop until it was released so I wouldn't have to upgrade. I looove my Vista.

I did the opposite. Now when vista was released i bought my laptop as fast as I could so I wouldn't get vista =)

Or you can use tweakxp which is a VERY useful program (can do other things like remove the little ugly arrows on shortcuts for example).
And YES, the program is from microsoft!

No, it isn't vista. It is an XP mod - as Cosmic said - Luna Elements 5 which I downloaded over on deviantART - http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29511577/ It does come in black, which is what I run.

Here is a link to the background, I cannot remember where I found it, so here is my copy uploaded for you - http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/1658/lovejaw3.jpg

I know this is old, but thank you Princy! I just got this and it looks great!

I used to have it loaded with icons, but after putting on my new wallpaper i decided that it was no good, so I got rid of them all. Much better, i reckon.

No problems! I really love Luna Elements, it is the one theme I keep going back to.

And actually I don't play that many of them =P

And talking about docks... I wonder if that menu counts as a dock... what is the definition of a dock btw?
(The "dock"s on the bottom and on the side is part of the shell and no external program...)

ThePQ4 · « **Reply #229 on:** 26 Mar 2007, 11:50 »

Changed my background again after I joined Deviant Art last night (...I have no idea why...), and looked at all of the pretty pictures. I liked this one. Excuse my Ruckus player...the damn thing doesn't minimize to your toolbar. It's all very annoying.

I guess a dock would be anything similar to the OS X dock. A blank board where you can drag icons onto and they stay there. Doesn't have to be an external program, but in my mind it looks like a dock.

I don't want to know what kind of system you have if you can run Warlords on Vista. My computer has a hard enough time trying to run Warlords on XP.

Yay for superflous desktop effects, actually I find the transperancy thing pretty useful, the expose like re-tling windows thing rocks too, propably my main reason for using Compiz

nihilist · « **Reply #237 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 07:28 »

Not Beryl? Gasp gasp gasp.

Scytale · « **Reply #238 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 07:41 »

They're mergeing back apparently. I never bothered with Beryl, I don't think it's in the standard Fedora repo's anyway.

Compiz comes pre-installed at the moment, though I think F 7 will use Beryl or compiz-quinn or whatever it's called these days.

I'm thinking of heading back to KDE once version 4 is out so it'll be interesting to see how KDE handles it all. Last time I tried about 9 months ago I ended up breaking KWM

this was before AIGLX etc though and you had t ocompile a bunch of stuff from the nightly CVS builds, imagine its calmed (and stabilized) a lot since then.

An app called GrandPerspective, it shows every file in its location relative to everything else. First time I ran it, I realised that I had lost 2 gigs to game demos and youtube saves.

Big blue blocks: Games.
Big yellow blocks: Windows.
Everything else: I blame Apple for putting a download site in the Menu Bar of every app.

Hm, GrandPerspective was kinda useful. I suddenly found a folder of about 5GB of Beatles-material that I'd moved, but forgot to delete. Woohoo, more space. I won't bother posting a screenshot now, it's pretty dull and "messy".

voila! Ubuntu, in case you were wondering. I <3 my Linux. Just got off Slackware about a year ago, and Ubuntu has become my greatest love.

Veeeery uncluttered. Somehow I find a nice cool glass of water very calming. Who knows.

Eve, I like! I really wish people made such calm pictures in uberwide size. They never do and I'm not good enough with photoshop to expand the gradients. Oh well.

Here's my current (click for big):

eveisdawning · « **Reply #245 on:** 19 Apr 2007, 07:40 »

Nice. Yeah, with the uber-wide screen (screens?) there, you don't really have a lot of options. What distro is that, anyway? (gnome foot = <3!)

The only thing that I can think might be an option is to take some nice clean vector art and stitch it together. I dunno. I was specifically thinking these:

http://www.dlanham.com/art/spring/
http://www.dlanham.com/art/fall/

Pretty pictures of trees in various seasons would be super clean and super easy to stitch into a nice loooooong image. Plus, I dig that artist's work.

I'm breaking The Screenshot Thread, so apologies! I just wanted to share that.

Toba · « **Reply #246 on:** 19 Apr 2007, 19:34 »

It's 3 screens on Gentoo (man was that Xorg.conf a pain to make). Thanks for the links, I will definitely check that out!

Scytale · « **Reply #247 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 02:15 »

Reinstalled so now I have a nice clean desktop.

How are you enjoying Gentoo? I used that for a while last year, became a bit of a pain to manage though, hardware support in it was excellent though.

Grawsith · « **Reply #248 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 03:54 »

Nice b&w picture, Scytale. I like how the low-rez photo goes with the hi-rez icons and UI.

That picture is actually the cover to one of my favorite albums.
