I got rather bored tonight so i decided to change the look of my desktop to something different, its a psp/ps3(Playstation Station) theme, tell me what you think and post your own, so we can see how creative you are.

I have action hotdog for my background. Theme is nothing special.

Not really a theme per se, but not just eye candy either. I've been addicted to multiple desktops for years, but Compiz/Beryl made them even easier to work with. Flipping back and forth is seamless now and I can get a bird's-eye view of
what's where on my system.

Using single-desktop systems like Windows now makes me feel claustrophobic. You do need a machine with a decent graphics card and enough memory to run all those apps though.

I don't have a theme really, but I have attached my current wall paper.

Lake Michigan on a windy day in October.

I have a friend that has Beryl. That alone made me want to switch to Linux.

I also have 2 monitors hooked up to my main desktop. Over break I didn't have enough room for the CRT (just my LCD) so I went single monitor. I felt so cramped.

My desktop is currently from www.digitalblasphemy.com -- dual monitor island scene. I think the single monitor is available for free download.

my box in the lab has two screens, a 17" and a 20", both big arse crts. before xmas I bought a cheapie 22" lcd for my gamer and it's turned out to be pretty solid. I'm considering grabbing two for the lab once I get some other stuff paid off.

My current desktop is a picture of a little creek near my daughter's house in Georgia. I took it last May while on a hike with my grandkids.

I did have a really cool dark theme going, but it really clashed with a few of my favorite programs, so i had to go back to the lighter theme.

Still pretty sexy, though.

Shame on you!

We had one, but it died. I don't have the money to buy another one on ebay at the moment, so an emulator is the next best thing.

Here's mine.

I don't like fancy backgrounds or special effects.

I always set the menu and task bars to autohide as they clutter up the screen.

Pommie · 3rd February 2008, 02:02 PM

Hero,

That is so sad. That is like preferring a meadow that is just plain soil, no grass, trees, flowers, birds, insects etc., or preferring a circuit board with no tracks or components. How can nothingness be your preference?

Bloody hell, I'm starting to sound like a girl!!

Mike.

he has a point. The desktop area is for use by applications. Docks and all are for user-interface convience.

That is why I like Openbox for my window manager, everything is done via a right-click menu on the desktop. I have fbpanel installed because while my wife likes and is at home in linux, she still kinda needs a panel
