You know we had to have one of those, especially since the DH folk are of the creative side of things

So to start off, here's mine (not recently updated, due to the army thing, but current neverthless):

Heh - my desktop is boring but highly functional.

The exciting part is a picture of my and my girl as my wallpaper.
The functional part is the menu, taskbar and pager.

gDesklets looks very nice - I may try it out and then post some screenies

RIV@NVX · Apr 7, 2005, 03:26 PM

This is my desktop, I'm running Ubuntu.

BTW: This is my brother being brutal to a misbehaving ink-jet printer

Nice wallpaper

Dom · May 6, 2005, 07:54 PM

Indeed it is!

Necrosis · May 6, 2005, 09:18 PM

Malus · May 6, 2005, 10:48 PM

I know... but you were still referring to an *nix.

x0ph3r · May 9, 2005, 03:03 PM

Nothing special I guess. Running Debian 'sarge'.. The wallpaper can be found in DA under the 'mac' sub section.

RIV@NVX · May 10, 2005, 05:21 PM

Pretty cool actually... how do you get that monitor of network traffic and monitor of CPU/MoBo sensors?

Thanks.

The network traffic monitoring tool is called 'netspeed', I just apt-get installed it. I believe it's in the ubuntu repositories as well. The CPU/MoBo sensors thing is called 'gnome-sensors-applet'. It's available from http://sensors-applet.sourceforge.net , not as a .deb though. I requested it to be packaged and maybe it some day will be.. It's not hard to install it from source though. Oh, and it uses lm_sensors to read the temperatures/fan speeds, so you have to have that installed and configured.

UberLord · Nov 9, 2005, 06:32 AM

Nice vista esq theme going there - what's it called?

Kombatant · Nov 9, 2005, 08:05 AM

Controls / Window border are AlphaCube, and the icon theme is Vista Inspirate 1.0. I believe you can find all of them in gnome-look.org

RIV@NVX · Nov 10, 2005, 03:51 PM

Icons are very nice! I won't comment on window borders. Only thing I don't like is the font that you're using.

Kombatant · Nov 11, 2005, 03:38 AM

I believe it's Nimbus Sans L, included with most distros.
