I found a really cool X-Box Windows XP theme. I used the uxtheme.dll hack to get it to work.

Guess I'm the odd one out since I don't run Windows. Oh well, enjoy.

 

[Todd Hochard]

Steven,

Great stuff- Thanks!

Travis: Yeah i saw that too, very cool... but too messy for my tastes... i prefer more simplistic themes
i've recently acquired the OSX bug.. I'm beginning to theme all my logins/bootscreens/ICQ/MSN Messenger to OSX lol... its just so nice :p)

Leila, what window manager is that? Is it Afterstep?

 

[Leila Dougan]

Todd, nope, that's WindowMaker. But its a cousin of AfterStep, hence the similarities

 

[Todd H]

Ahhhh, Windowmaker. I should have recognized it. It's been a few years since I ran Linux, but I'm wiping XP from my drive this weekend and reinstalling Linux. How does Windowmaker compare speedwise and bloatwise to KDE?

 

[Leila Dougan]

WindowMaker is MUCH less bloated than KDE. In fact, they are not even in the same ballpark. WM has pretty much no dependencies (you'll need a few graphics libraries though if you want graphics, obviously). Other than that, you just need X and a compiler. A new version was released the other day and it didn't take more than 5 min or so to compile. KDE, on the other hand, has a bazillion dependencies and one time I tried compiling it the thing was still chugging away 8 hours later. You decide

 

[Todd H]

After I install Linux this weekend (and remove most of the junk that Red Hat installs and turn off the unnecessary services), I'll Download Window Maker and give it a try. Thanks.

Leila,
I guess we're both odd.

Here's mine on my P166 @ 266 with 64 RAM happily running XP PRO. I'll get another picture on here soon of my desktop of my P3 1 GHZ system. But notice in this, I letterboxed the panoramic picture I took of those cats. Cool, eh?

 

[Kolya]

Here's mine, during a typical day of work.

 

[Todd H]

Here's a picture of my latest Linux screenshot. I find that the more I use Linux the more I like it.

Very nice Todd, never realized Mozilla looked so great! Is that the Firebird version?
Here's a new one of mine:

Just curious but how were you able to save your desktop as a PNG and make the filesize so small? I get 1.3mb when I try to save mine in Photoshop.

 

[John*Jones]

Nice thread...you guys have some nice desktops.

 

[Tekara]

File's a bit large, but here it is anyway:

[Todd H]

That's Mozilla 1.4 with the Lindows skin. Mandrake Linux now does anti-aliasing, so the fonts in Mozilla look a whole hell of a lot better.
As for the file size, KDE comes with a program called KSnapshot, which is what I used. It seems to do a very good job as far as quality and file size goes.

At least mine gives me an eye-opener when I wake up in the morning.
