Linux Desktop Screenshot Thread

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Think I'm going to start a whole separate thread with all these tips, so I can go back to something when I do another install.

Yes, the default theme is actually pretty nice. Do yourself a favour though, the Faenza icons are really awesome and look so much better than the default gnome ones. Just installed them now, noticed that they had to be installed as root. Just extract the archive to a folder, lets say ~/faenza then run the following

cd ~/faenza
sudo ./INSTALL

When it asks you if you want to replace the notification icons with custom ones, say no.

Once they are installed, run the tweak tool again and under the Interface option change the icon theme to Faenza. Then you have all the beauty of the greatest icon theme around

sudo: ./INSTALL: command not found

:-(

Like your background, but it's being ruined by that layer of Ubuntu on top of it

LOL....it's still Ubuntu 10.10, don't like the netbook look on my desktop.

Completely basic since its a pretty fresh install but I do like it. Arch with xfce.

Not too shabby, Ulver. Looks super!

You sure you extracted the archive and changed to the correct folder? There is definitely an install script called INSTALL. You could also try:

chmod +x INSTALL
sudo sh INSTALL

No screenshots for a while, so I am posting one of my recently installed Kubuntu 11.10 (Desktop #3)
In future I will probably no longer be using Ubuntu for reasons well known to most.
Current set up:
PC : Triple boot = Lucid 10.04 LTS; Kubuntu 11.10; Scientific Linux 6.1
Laptop: CentOS 5.7
Wife's laptop: Lucid 10.04 LTS

Thanks! Loving this background too.

Here are two resolutions, the original is 1920x1200, I had to edit it a bit to fit it to 1920x1080.

I've always been a fan of the KISS club. http://i.imgur.com/ssmqg.png + the obligatory

[Don't ask why my fonts look kinda weird, if you have a tip on how to fix it I'm willing to listen ;-)]

 

[MyWorld]

What distro are you using?

 

[concentricpuddle]

Kubuntu 11.10

Boring I hear you say? Perhaps...but I think the cleaner and simple a desktop the more beautiful it is. Linux Mint 12...it is so simple and elegant I dont see the point of adding anything or changing the theme.. The best designed desktop for Linux I have ever seen.
