My latest desktop

2 01 2008

This is my latest linux desktop screenshot. After having to re-install everything on my computer, from mac OSX from the maconpc project re-wrote my partition table and destroyed it. So, anyway, im still using my favourite WM, OpenBox, for the icons, i am using idesk, it is very nice, and has a *hover* effect, where, when the mouse is not on the icons, they are semi see-through, when the mouse is on them, they are completely opaque. I am still using conky on the side, but i have changed colours etc. And for anyone viewing this (which wont be many) a fix for conky to stop the lag after appearing from behind windows, or from changing desktops, and you cant use compiz or beryl, use xcompmgr, it is a great composite tool. And the dock bar, is still avant-window-navigator. This time i went for 3D instead of Curves.

Looks awesome!! I am not a fan of dark themes myself usually (It makes everything feel more gloomy to me), but your setup is awesome!
