Linux Desktop Screenshot Thread

To tell you the truth, I never use conky scripts, only for screenshots to forums :) They distract me.
Same goes for the paper of K.S. For daily work blandness rules.:p
 
My new KDE love :D

"Ubuntu" - an African word meaning "Gentoo is too hard for me".

or

"Gentoo" - a word meaning "I dont have a job, so have lots of spare time to waste".

Going to build myself a (K)ubuntu Frankenstein: Ubuntu Server 10.10 + xorg + kdebase. I'm going to go from there and add what I want. NO LibreOffice! NO Evolution! Only what I want :) Too set in my debian ways for now to attempt an Arch install, so Ubuntu will have to do.

I'm looking at Debian proper. Have a Squeeze Virtualbox running which looks promising. No Plymouth rubbish and Gnome3 looks by and large like Gnome2 (but I may yet dump Gnome). Bit of effort to get sudo working, but at least you can use su.
 
Debian Squeeze (gdm3) in a full screen Virtualbox with a Cairo Dock (Compiz). Gnome panels hidden, not removed.

 
In general, SLiM, tint2 with a (better) battery monitor, wicd.

For apps I just Googled for lightweight apps alternatives. Chromium, Abiword, SMplayer, thunar/ PCManFM, etc.

I basically went through this list and picked the best ones I liked:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lightweight_Applications

lol, already have most of that stuff installed but I still need to configure/tweak everything to my liking.

What battery monitor you using as I have not picked one yet?
 
Openbox comes with one that you can enable in the configs, but I could only get it to show the battery status once on DC power, as soon as you plug in the cable it will show a red bar for charging and once charged the battery monitor will stop monitoring the battery.

Most people like this, but I like to see the monitor in the systray at all times.

The one I used:
aur/batterymon

I see it is flagged out of date, maybe try the git version then.
