Linux Desktop Screenshot Thread

Ok so I see it's the Skydome option, but whenever I change the picture nothing happens.
 
I'll check the setting for you this afternoon, Swift
 
Lol. Ya i saw that earlier. Thanks. I was just about to post that there's a check box that i never saw.
 
I'll post a pic of my Ubuntu a bit later when I can go onto it. I love the cube but I still haven't figured out how to configure my work with Ubuntu so once I've done that I can move all my work over to it. Once you've tried the cube with reflecting 3d windows, MS Windows seems so constricted.

Kasyx does the hand on your screen interact with the desktop somehow? It looks sweet.

AFAIK the hand is a static image. If I'm not mistaken it was included with Kubuntu as either a login screen or wallpaper.
 
I may have missed this in the thread. ... What is the thing called to get bar with apps like in Mac OS called for ubuntu?
 
Your question is a bit cryptic, but I assume you are referring to the taskbar or dock that normally sits at the bottom of the screen.

There are a few options out there, but my favourite is Cairo dock - there are a good few themes you can download from within the software (the mac theme is there too).

The actual cairo dock setting app is a bit messy though, but once it's set up you wont' have to go back to change things very often. In Ubuntu you can install this from Add/Remove Applications (pre-Karmic) or the Software Centre (Karmic) - do a search for Dock or GLX dock. I'm sourcing it from the PPA - more info here:

Here's a screenshot of my dock at the moment: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/album.php?albumid=603&pictureid=4291

Enjoy!
 
I am using avant window navigator. You can install this also via software centre in Ubuntu. You can have a look @ my profile. I have a screenshot posted there where you can see what it looks like. It is easy to use. Just drag and drop items from your menus in the top bar into the dock to create launchers. You can also download many new themes for it. Just do a search for awn themes and it will come up. Enjoy
