Linux Desktop Screenshot Thread

Thanks Tim and Bis.

Why do so many of your desktops have the ram and cpu meters etc? Does Ubuntu cause things to overcook or something that it needs to be watched all the time?

No, we're just freaks:) I like to have my temps monitored to make sure my system is running cool enough when overclocked. I like to have my network interfaces monitored so I can see the transfer rates and make sure that my international/local split is working on both connections. The rest of the stuff is monitored just because I can!

What dock are you using, it looks really cool?

It's Awn (Avant Window Navigator), was using Cairo dock before but then ocleroux reminded me about avant (used it previously and wasn't happy, some nice fixes since the last time i used it though). I'm using the MacUltimate Leopard icon theme.

Awesome thanks. Will give AWN another go.
 
Awn isn't as customizable as Cairo dock, but the Cairo dock settings interface was really beginning to annoy me just because its so damn ugly. Awn is also a bit less responsive and loading takes longer (but not anything major). Make sure you also install awn-applets-c-extra and python-awn-extras for more applets.

Also does anybody know how to disable the regular gnome panel? I'm just auto hiding it know, but would like to get rid of it completely without causing any other problems.

This is what my Linux on my laptop currently look like, its always a work in progress and change on a daily basis when I find something new that I like.

Not much, pretty much default KDE4, PCLinuxOS. I just switched a couple of days ago, so I'm still getting used to it.

Yeah, I know it's Win7ish, but I like it. :cool:

For a second there I thought you were being facetious by showing the screenshot of a Windows desktop.

Mind if I ask how you get your terminal background see-through Tinuva?
Click to expand...

With gnome-terminal very easy, click on: Edit -> Profiles -> Background tab -> Tick "Transparent background" instead of a color or image.

However note, if you do that without compiz, you will only see the wallpaper. If you have compiz enabled like I do (need it for that see through title bar theme) then it will actually show applications behind the terminal as well. I love this because of a lot of the times I have msg/jabber open and can see when people reply while I am busy on a terminal and whether its worth tabbing back or not.
