teacher Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 It looks like PCLos has become my main distro on my laptop. It has some really nice built-in wallpapers and this is one of them. I have to stop and think how many backgrounds I have. Three distros on the laptop with 9 backgrounds, and about 8 distros on the tower wtih about 29 different backgrounds. Then we can add in the two from work. Guess what? You don't have to look at all of them because I am not posting any others. Quote
Bruno Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Here is one from me of PCLos too . . . .with Fluxbox and xfishtank . . those fish are really swimming ( moving ) in the background . . . you start them with xfishtank -b 50 -f 20 -c <color> . . . . xfishtank is fun Bruno Quote

Bruno Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Woohaa!! Excuse me Bruno, but the most impressive memory utilization in gkrellm what i seen in a long time. . . . Hi Ivan . . wasn't I clever to catch that peak at the right time ? ( I had to check though ) . . . . And because I was having such fun with the Xfishtank . .. here is IceWM with the little moving fish in the background . . . . . . <-- Click( Sorry, no animation in the screenshot )Hint: Xfishtank ( like Xearth ) works best in Flux, IceWM and WidowMmaker ;) Bruno Quote

steel Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 hi Ivani thought it looked ok but i wanted to hide thos two things and didnt know how to do it thats why i said small window managers are easier you just create your icons .... also that your here was going to ask you if there was a list for pclos and sources list .... pclos is awesome i lend my ATL and PClOS to a friend and sure is taking his time returning it ...they told me they would borrow my cds and copy em.. i am still waiting... i do know they love it ...

Hi Brunothanks, yeap i would love to make thos two gray things " Gkrellm and ScotsNewsletterForum " transparent if i can or either hide them if i cant make them transparent ... i just dont know how to do it though Quote

Bruno Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Hi Brunothanks, yeap i would love to make thos two gray things " Gkrellm and ScotsNewsletterForum " transparent if i can or either hide them if i cant make them transparent ... i just dont know how to do it though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay Dteel . . that setting is deep hidden in the KDE Control Center --> Look & Feel --> Taskbar --> Check the box "Show only minimized windows" . . . . . . and you simply never minimize them ( But you will probably need more then the 2 virtual desktops you have now ) Bruno Quote
steel Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Bruno i did that and also added more virtual desktops and only one that i left open was scots was trying to get all my fishes and the duck for the screen shot but the duck swam away before i can capture it the fish represent network activity and when your downloading they move fast ..

steel Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 What calendar app is that, steel?hi Ross its called gdeskcal here is a linki know its its avaliable in mandrake cooker, debian sarge testing or unstable, not sure about the others.. was looking for one for my pclos i really like its out of the way and easy if you have to check dates or months .. if you see it for pclos let me know too .. not sure if i can install a cooker app on pclos maybe Bruno or Ivan can answer that, or someone here thats more experience with Pclos Louis Quote
ross549 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Hi steel.....I got it working... does not need to be compiled.......You need pygtk and pyxml2.0... both are available in Synaptic. I extracted the tar.gz file to my home, moved the folder to /usr/local/share, and linked it to /usr/bin/gdeskcal. Voila! Quote
jaquoval Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Great shots, everyone!Hope you don't mind if I join in.Nothing special yet, 'cause I'm still moving in, getting the furniture arranged, etc..Suse:Buffalo: Quote

martinultima Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Dell (primary desktop)I'm using Slackware 10.0 and Enlightenment. Shown here is an Eterm window, Firefox, and a button bar hack I wrote myself. Wallpaper (since changed) is a fractal image I created using xfractint. I like it.Micron (laptop)Enlightenment again, although no fancy themes or backgrounds. This machine runs a distribution I hacked together from Slackware myself, called Ultima Linux. Programs running are Eterm (non-transparent, with a border), XMMS, and Firefox.P166 (secondary desktop)This machine also has Ultima Linux, but instead of Enlightenment I have Window Maker running. Also visible is an rxvt window being used to take the screenshot.Obviously these screenshots are rather outdated I update quite frequently, as soon as I get a picture it's changed. I may post newer ones later... Quote
